Ed Zitron has the economics of AI basically right. Most technologies arrive by digging an enormous financial crater, followed by a contraction period in which everyone insists the crater is actually a revolutionary new business model, befor

The fact that pirated books en-mass were used to train LLMs is legally irrelevant, oh do tell - why is that? The whole point of an LLM is to train a neural network based on content - without the content the net is entirely noise. Anthropi

At some point in their career the problem they're trying to solve will overwhelm even their own abilities - it just hasn't happened yet, but when it does, they'll be in for a reckoning. All of the tooling, and processes, docu

This seems very much like the episode of Veep'Boxes of lies' where they try to hide their nefarious deeds alongside the real day to day inter-workings of the vice presidents office but inundating the public with data.

Code is legacy the moment it's checked in - not writing tests is the equivalent of expecting the game of telephone to go flawlessly always and forever for every corner and major case written... This type of optimism when looked up in t

that's a whole lot of blathering to say pre-optimization is the root of all evil... @example: the Intel meltdown &Spectre bug.

The argument the speaker makes is extremely weak - 1.0 software programs are built of building blocks modules, 2.0 software is machine learning - what point is trying to be made here? We still break problems down when solving problems that

in failsafe systems it's best not to depend on the thing you expect to fail to behave in a particular way when it... fails, redundancy is the key.

Video from 2016 showing exactly that: https://www.tesla.com/videos/autopilot-self-driving-hardware... If you use this to market your car without any caveats, don't be dismissal of some people who might read into t

Tesla has likely built 80-90% of an autonomous car enough to fool those who use it into believing it can be trusted. But as with all engineering endeavors that suffer from the Pareto principal its going to take far longer to get close enoug

No one wins when someone dies... I'm sure your right that Tesla employees are torn up. My concern is that it looks like Tesla is 90% of the way there to full autonomy and the way the feature is marketing will lull even engineers who kn

That's not the thrust of my point... Talking about how many people have to die to perfect autonomous vehicles is pointless, some people are willing to jump out of airplanes & they fully understand the risks. Some number of people,

It's a deceptive to assume autopilot saves lives when it too has taken them. The number of people with access to auto pilot is far fewer to statistically determine how many more center divider deaths we might have if everyone were it&

Systems that are semi autonomous where there's some expectation of intervention work well in those scenarios, keep the car in lane markers on the highway, etc. Make sure the users hands are on the wheel but for fully autonomous even if

No one dies so someone 10 years from now can watch a full episode of the family guy unimpeded for the duration of their commute. The human toll is irrelevant to the conversation, what's relevant is whether risks taken are being taken k

I don't buy this either nor should we it's not how the feature is marketed. "The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat." The res

While the marketing fuzz might have the tone of self driving car, I doubt the legal material in a Tesla model S as it relates to 'autopilot' has such language - its advanced steering assist and cruise control, its not an entirely

If people whose lives are scheduled in minutes have the ability to build muscle tone and stay fit so do you. Think Elon Musk I imagine he doesn't sleep much but he makes the time. Exercise is about priorities and it's far easier t

while a death cause graph database might be an interesting research tool, the big glaring problem in death certificates is mislabeled death ultimately caused by medical error. When a patient dies via a heart failure because they were given

credit freeze fees and fees related to identity protection are an extortion/a shakedown plain and simple. Companies like Equifax sell your data then charge you a fee to block access to that which they sell, if you don't your openi

Equifax is yet another form of financial corruption. The charge/fee incurred in freezing your credit is so close to a shakedown - this is absurd. Credit ratings of the population are a product they sell to financial firms and then th
