The only reason Big Social exists at all is to surreptitiously collect data.
There is nothing "surreptitious" about it.
Collecting and selling data is the very core of their business plan.
None of the big tech companies sell data.
Why pose this as a hypothetical scenario when it's an established fact?
Because it isn't an established fact.
Perhaps you are shocked to hear that people disagree with you because they formerly had no voice, not because "open society is failing."
It is hypocritical to demand that "open society" be protected by silencing those you don't like.
Make it illegal to sell the data
None of the big tech companies sell tracking data.
Prove it. Show me the source code.
Very complex computer software
Nope. It is very simple computer software. Just a huge tensor of low-precision floating point numbers and a handful of differential equations.
The fact that A.I. can "hallucinate" things is proof of this.
The fact that you think a generative-LLM has anything whatsoever to do with aircraft control shows your knowledge of AI is less than zilch. You have some unlearning to do to get to zero.
Modern AI still experiences hallucinations though.
Generative LLMs experience hallucinations.
No one is suggesting LLMs fly aircraft or drive cars.
Humans are FAR from 99.9999% reliable
There are 1.3 fatal accidents per million departures for commercial aviation.
I expect the military will use any per-unit savings to build more unmanned fighters.
That's a decision made by Congress, not the military.
They're not gonna let the defense budget go down for any reason whatsoever.
That's also a congressional decision. The military doesn't set the defense budget.
SDCs will eventually fix the problem, but that will take a while.
Even a decade from now, the majority of cars on the road will not be SDCs.
Sure, you could implement an exception, than an exception to that exception, then... you know. A whole web of intertwined decision trees.
That is not how modern AI works. Not at all.
Piloted aircraft are designed for 99.9999% reliability.
99.9% reliability is good enough for a UAV.
An F-16 airframe is designed for 8000 hours. Nearly all of that is pilot training.
A UAV doesn't need to be trained. It just needs to be programmed. Then, it can sit in a warehouse until needed. No engine wear-and-tear. No airfields are needed for training. No need for engine overhauls nor the personnel to do them.
The result is big savings, which means less money for defense contractors. So expect a lot of resistance.
But how fast can Megawatt chargers charge a battery?
My EV has an 80 kwh battery.
80/1000 = 0.08 hour = 4.8 minutes.
requires much thicker cables, along with bigger connectors.
Yes. And those already exist. That's how trucks are charged.
Indeed. "Punching the bully" to "teach them a lesson" is one of those things that happens in the movies, not in real life.
Bullies are bigger, stronger, and have more friends than their victims.
The crowd usually supports the bully, not the victim.
"The system" does nothing to help. Reporting bullying makes it worse.
Indeed. This is stupid. An LLM is totally the wrong tool for the job.
Even with a soft-max statistical model, the outcome of a single prediction means almost nothing. You need to look at the win/loss ratio over a thousand races.
I knew a professional gambler. He made good money.
Sure. All professional gamblers make money. Just ask them.
But, for some reason, they're always broke.
One trick to manage their self-delusion is to retroactively put their winnings in the "professional gambling" pile and their losses in the "just playing for fun so it doesn't count" pile.
Not gonna work unless you're planning on charging with a lightning bolt a la Doc Brown.
Megawatt chargers already exist and are used for electric trucks.
Why did the Roman Empire collapse? What is the Latin for office automation?
