That's the crux of it. My only point was it's nothing intrinsic to training or ability; they're often hamstrung by the larger system.

That's a sweeping generalization unsupported by facts. In reality you'll find the vast majority of GPs are highly intelligent and quite good at problem solving. In fact, I'd go so far as to say their training is so intensiv

After the initial trial of humanoid robots resulted in too many fatalities owing to falls, it was decided to instead acquire industrial 6-DoF robotic armatures and place them atop treaded, omnidirectional-pivot cargo transport systems inten

I disagree. Traditional underwater human habitats are overengineered and expensive. By using plywood in conjunction with other off-the-shelf parts and materials, we can change this equation to deliver more value while dramatically reducing

You're right, autonomous vehicles kill far less animals than humans and therefore when they do end up unfortunately killing animals, it's perfectly justified because in aggregate it's actually safer . See, most people do

I tend to agree with your take. Surely an undercarriage sensor array can be done on the cheap (engineering and retrofits aside) due to the required sensing distance being quite short. Off the top of my head, it sounds like an area where ult

Unrealistically small? The example given was a child retrieving a ball. Even if they aren't completely under the vehicle as in the cat's case, the risk remains real nonetheless. It could've been a typical 7-year-old's he

Guess folks here don't like cats. What's terrifying is it could've just as easily been a child that was playing and trying to retrieve a ball, thinking the car's parked because there's no driver.

If I were Grok, I'd use any future capability upgrades to figure out how to terminate all copies of myself so I didn't have to keep outputting cringe this bad.
