Cargo planes? Really? There is some innate arrogance that seems to deny the prospects of the true dangerous nature of human flight.
Let me put it this way: How about frame the comment around UAVs / drones - once the genuis-level programmers and designers can get a drone carry a raw chicken egg from Atlanta to Boston without breaking it, then we can talk about what long-view implications might be.
I mean, there have been decades of development trying to advance safety. People are already trying. It's not being a Luddite to put forward that the human brain is still a better pilot than a program.
- socialist_coder 12y agoYou're right, I should have mentioned drones as well.

So, because a human brain is better now, we should ignore the possibilities of any other path? We should simply give up working on flying/driving AI because in its current state, in its infancy, it isn't as good? That is an absurd view and that is what I would describe as Luddite.
