It is definitely much safer. However it's unethical to gloss over/coverup/play down the fact that people have died because it failed to drive to car. Both can be true.

"...but don't post..." This is the key. If you start posting it becomes a waiting game for the conversation to begin. I feel the need to monitor and wait for responses. It's fun but obviously mentally taxing. An online c

AI itself is so far behind than most people realize. Most AI-branded products do an extremely small subset of tasks. I argue that it isn't AI rather using arcane statistical methods to hopefully ascertain the human requirement for the

I agree it was a business success. It's just not very innovative. But in business a lack of innovation is sign of decline. It signals to people that a company has become reactionary rather than revolutionary. I don't know if it ma

I don't disagree. I think Zuck is the face of the Facebook brand, but I don't think he's the right guy to run a company of this size. He was instrumental in two great acquisitions: WhatsApp and Instagram. Other than that, man

“The autopilot could be better” The car would’ve been destroyed and the driver injured. In this case, autopilot should’ve not just been better it should’ve actually worked. It didn’t even stop the car.

I agree. I find it hypocritical of Tesla to talk about numbers in thousands in terms of Model 3 production, but low 100's is a totally sufficient metric for testing autopilot.

Peter Norvig’s book A modern approach to AI is pretty cool. I don’t know what they use now in 101 AI courses but I remember that book being very complete. I still believe though that hard AI will only ever be possible if we ever make seriou

It’s one thing for friends or family to think where you working at is cool and another thing for random people to be inflating your ego. Or you may start to think you’re better than other people because of where you work. I’ve seen this phe

I disagree. At a certain point, things get very serious. When companies become successful and deal in billings in the 100's millions or billions, it's time to get a more experienced team. It's the ethical thing to do; it'

I think what's being massively overlooked in many crashes that involved Tesla is the insane inferno caused by the impact on the batteries. I mean, the guy died from the burns from the inferno, not from the actual impact of the crash. T
