Mandatory "FSD next year!" /s Teasing aside can you imagine how fucking scary it must be to be in a self-driving car that drives straight in flowing water? Damn.

Well a lot of people have that in their garage, even "worst" it's on wheels so even easier to steal. I'm not saying it's worth it just that it's not such a crazy amount in comparison.

Doubt it, feels basically like just an ad to get attention "Oh look, that's where the magic happens" vs running their code on existing infrastructure and thus just showing the results, like everybody else. This "feels&qu

"We should be able to trust that our tools will remain the tools we actually signed up to use." Yep... well that's what free software and open-source is for. You can't trust corporations so you MUST have the actual code.

Right? It's like suddenly people discovered that tools can embody expertise. That's literally what we've been doing for ... our entire existence as a species.

No need to be cautious. If a for-profit (because... you know, OpenAI isn't at all what it initially was) huge corporation (again, not a cute startup trying to help humanity) publish anything it's a piece of marketing. Every single

And yet... it means absolutely nothing. One can say the most profound thing in 3 words, slowly or fast it does not even matter, and can also spout absolute senseless garbage in billions of words at absolutely ridiculous speed.

I'll reiterate my point too then: yes, and that's not new. There are always engineers selling to tech-savvy non-engineers tools transforming a service based on expertise to a product.

Yes... that's the joke, that's what the trailing "/s" was for. I also noticed they said "I" in their reply.

It's like witnessing a rocket using the most powerful engine on Earth then once it escaped orbit turn off the engine and said "It is flying without power!". Yes, sure, right now it is ... but that's NOT how it got here.

I disagree, I think the visuals, Gantt charts, are precisely the kind of "PM speak" that can be understood. Sure it won't solve anything as long as C-suite and investors do innovation signaling but that itself can only last s

Security through obscurity is about not revealing how the system works. Relying on computational complexity is precisely the opposite, you can understand the entire system but the unknown is well known, e.g. the length of the key and which
