Could you approximate number of blind persons using AI? If their number is significant, they could themselves be foundation for some AI business, even if all other consumers will turn away from AI. For about accessibility of web, must say i

As I know, all Auto market (not only EV) is extremely regulated (mostly, because of safety measures), so it is not much opened. I think, it is unfortunately, but not exists official market of custom ROMs. For about custom ROMs, situation ve

I tried describe example, how made really serious upgrades that's time. So, once, memory appeared much cheaper than before, so one could grow from for example 16k to 64k. What we do, we literally soldered RAM ICs over old ICs, but with

Looks like, people use hybrid approach, as all these ToC, metadata, etc, are essentially semantic (executed on neural network), but just recognition of text and recognition of characters are neural.

What I want to say - sell service is much-much harder than sell material product, because for service you must first show it and somehow give client taste of using service, and once could try to demand money for usage. Explanation is very s

Sorry, from your post could not understand, what value could create your AI? And yes, that is part of answer - how to make money, depend on what type of value it create. Next may need (may not), to create some product, which is similar to s

Problem is another. To got additional speed from other body, you need to move very close to it and in perigee use some powerful acceleration to increase rotation speed fast, so could not use slow acceleration engines, like ion engines. Idea
