That was a difficult article (pictures actually) to read. It shows (to me at least) how intimately our humanity is linked to a face that passes our own internal pattern matching heuristics. I'm not proud to admit my initial thought was

Disappointed that knichi wasn't on the list. It sounds yummy in the move Barefoot in the Park when Victor Velasko described it during the cocktail party. I was really surprised when I found out it was fictional.

On occasion maybe individuals. And certainly more on the right than the left. But they don't work together in the least.

Interesting to have Greenwald define treason. Is he trying to keep himself out of that illustrious crowd? Guess living in a foreign country makes one braver than usual.

Which brings up the real question - do we want self-driving cars that ONLY drive as well as humans. I for one would be terrified at that criteria.

I think this brings up an interesting philosophy for autonomous driving technology - is it feasible if it's "only as good as human driving"? I mean I've seen comments that a human might not have seen the pedestrian. Is t
