Very cool story. But so what? The people you describe are the ones who stuck with it. The people for whom it was not working went and found something else. So you would not describe them as taxi drivers. You would describe them as used car

I agree with that. I don’t think passenger reports leading to taxi driver termination is a likely path. But if a taxi driver has cognitive decline which imparts their ability to route plan effectively that would increase their stress, and p

I was explicitly responding to the bombastic “Qualified art in approved areas only is literal Nazi shit.” My analogy is a response to that. But you can also see that I discussed that it is the service provider’s choice. If you are not happy

There are two ways to think about that. One is about testing our ability to control the models. These models are tools. We want to be able to change how they behave in complex ways. In this sense we are trying to make the models avoid sayin

That's quite a statement. You make it sound like people haven't done their due diligence unless they have infiltrated your team's internal comms and dutifully searched it for potential drone videos.

I see the rippling and the smooth pieces, that one is ok. For me what is hard to distinguish are the individual pieces from each other within one colour. The knight from the bishop from the pawn, etc. It is possible to figure them out, but

I’m not arguing against or for anything. You asked how something is happening and i explained to you. What conclusions we draw from it is a different matter.
