From your remark you'd think these were two entirely different problems. I'll try to say it more clearly. There are people deliberately promoting fear of long-term problems as an excuse to not address these short-term problems.
I'm ok with people working on both. I just feel so much less attention is being placed on these more immediate problems. Tesla has deployed to production software for driving that is unable to detect pedestrians. So at least Tesla can't do both.
- simonh 7y agoEvery time there's an autopilot related accident, they're all over the mainstream news, and prominently voted up and extensively discussed on HN. That isn't going to stop because the media will be too busy reviewing Nick Bostrom's next book to report on the latest Autopilot death. I see it quite differently. raising the long term issues is absolutely part of highlighting the risks of these immediate issues. They are part of the same problem, so raising their profile is synergistic, not competitive.
