It’s not the same. Shining lasers into eyes is not scalable. However, placing a little sign at the side of a road that causes self driving vehicles to swerve out and crash violently, killing the occupants, can be done in mass.
- saulrh 9y agoIf you make the sign red and octagonal you could even kill human drivers too! Or maybe if you slapped an illusory-motion pattern over something that looked like a dog, then people might swerve into the opposite lane to avoid it, double kill! Shock, horror! Human vision is slightly more robust solely because it's had more time to go back and forth with adversaries. Nothing prevents ML from reaching the same levels of safety. Nothing prevents you from deploying attacks against humans that're identical to to the attacks against artificial systems.
