Absolutely the same here. WhatsApp is a nightmare to use without contacts, but I don't care, they are not having my contacts.

Yeah for sure. Lion could well be 10x more delicious than beef for all I know, but I'm quite certain we couldn't farm millions of lions.

Yay! I built an IRC bot for SD using lstein's repo because it was the first one that I could get to work reliably on M1, so I'm really glad to see the process continue really well with InvokeAI!

If communities are formed with the sole purpose of being a haven for horrible people to further radicalise each other, it's perfectly reasonable for society's antibodies to destroy those communities.

If our goal is truly to work towards Level 5 autonomy, then by definition most accidents couldn't involve human error other than a person hurling themselves in front of such a vehicle.

I don't think the answer is to not allow autonomous cars to be sold, I think the answer is to engineer self-driving cars with the same kind of rigour that the aircraft industry uses, rather than the kind of rigour that startups use.

We accept that human drivers are not perfect and are going to cause thousands of deaths per year with their vehicles. It's a whole different ballgame to accept that computers are going to choose to kill thousands of people per year, an

The question was not really a quantitative one. The purpose of asking that question is to determine the mindset of the person answering. Safety systems don't generally get built with an MVP mindset, but that seems to be what is happeni

I'd like to invite you to consider that with the (I would say) utilitarian view that one less death is an acceptable MVP, you are implicitly saying that you'd be ok with products being sold in the full knowledge that they would au

Level 2 is the equivalent of Tesla's Autopilot. The driver is not always in control, but they must always be monitoring and be ready to immediately assume control. (In many ways, L2 is just about the dumbest imaginable level of automat

I feel like this is often how these discussions go - crypto maximalists say this is going to change the world and take over all sorts of things, someone suggests that it actually wouldn't make any difference for most things, and they s
