Not in all conditions. The devil really is in the details. A truly 100% autonomous vehicle requires a much higher level of intelligence than a self driving vehicle with a driver able to take the wheel when necessary. Take the case when some

This person assumes AI is going to stay in its current form: a technology that requires an expert operator to help accomplish tasks. Most people are afraid of “next-level” AI, where no operator is required. If trucks can be moved without an

Well, for starters, you shouldn't really post these kinds of details on Hacker News, your cofounder probably reads it and may be pretty pissed that you turn to the community to discuss what you should be doing regarding the finance of

My mum just finds 4-leaf clovers everywhere. It’s not serendipity, she looks for them, but she has the uncanniest ability to find them. Similarly my wife can spot animals in the wild like a drone, it’s insane. She’d be the woman on the boat

I think it's neither. It's just spoiling them. It's like buying them stupidly expensive sneakers. They don't need it, but it makes them feel good. I'd rather teach them that games that use these techniques are bad.

Economic growth is so ingrained as a measure of “success”, that decline in population is seen as a major threat. Basically all other indicators show that reducing human footprint would be better for a sustainable future.
