It is amusing to observe that the tech marketing of today are milking the shit out of this trick.
The trick being to tread continuously through some non-obvious happy path. And average people will be convinced that you really have some breakthrough tech.
But hey, this is not something new. Magicians were taking advantage of such things for centuries ..
- AndrewKemendo 3mo agoPlease describe the trick you’re suggesting
- qsera 3mo ago1. Make some thing that work in very limited of amount of real world cases 2. Deploy it somewhere where it won't encounter things it won't handle. 3. Market the shit out of the above fact and how well it work there. 4. Let the naive population who have a tendency to take one look, and imagine how it will automatically progress to some arbitrary influx point. 5. Get a lot of funding from people in point 4 and feed it to point 3, and keep going.

- qsera 3mo agoOf course it will appear BS to you. That is why it works.
- AndrewKemendo 3mo agoWhy couldn’t this trick be pulled off two decades ago? After all autonomous vehicles has been well funded research since the 1980s the DARPA grand challenge being one of the previously most important benchmarks. I think you might just need a history lesson friend
