In a critical moment for America’s future, tech entrepreneur Jeff Atwood expresses concern over losing sight of the American Dream amidst unprecedented challenges. He reflects on humanity’s lack of contact with extraterrestrial life despite their 13 billion-year head start in evolution (referencing “The Great Filter Comes For Us All”). Despite Elon Musk’s achievements, Atwood emphasizes his ongoing fight for users and urges progress towards self-driving cars by initiating a $10K bet with John Carmack (“The 2030 Self-Driving Car Bet”).
Atwood maintains an active blogging pace despite the busy times. His latest post discusses his honorable announcement of this friendly wager between him and Carmack regarding autonomous self-driving cars meeting SAE J3016 level 5 standards by January 1st, 2030 for commercial use to benefit charity (“The 2030 Self-Driving Car Bet”).
In summary (no pun intended), Jeff Atwood highlights various pressing issues while remaining optimistic about technological advancements and their potential impact on society. He encourages readers not to overlook the importance of preserving core values amidst rapid change, as humanity faces both challenges and opportunities ahead.\
