There are plenty of use cases for AI that will work a lot better if the primary GPU is still available for its original purpose. It was a bit like pushing the physics engine out to the GPU. Great, but now what's going to smash out frames?

Games will be the obvious reason you'd want your GPU unencumbered, and probably the primary "killer app", though surely not the only one.

Even with the plane being a Boeing, it's a coin toss at this point whether the plane was defective, or the maintenance was. I don't see the point of crying "look, Boeing did it again!" when there's a good chance someone screwed up long after they handed over control of the aircraft.

How is an AI going to realistically kill even 10% of the worlds population?

Starting a war in the breadbasket of Europe and then monomaniacally pursuing that war may well end up killing hundreds of millions. Imagine if all the other Putinettes have a hawkish AI whispering in their ears.

It used to be that if I played the same piece of music every day for a couple weeks, I could remember the sheet music itself well enough to read it when it wasn't actually there. I also had muscle memory, but I was "reading music" as opposed to performing memorized music. This served me well when someone hid my book after a couple weeks on the gig. I just looked at the next guy over's to make sure I was in the right place, and played off the pictures in my mind. Alas, that has slipped to a degree as I have rarely faced such a challenge in real world gigs. Either the set list doesn't change, or there's a place to put the music.

Now I'd say it's about a 3/5. Red apple? Check. I can see the hand holding up the apple, and the shine from reflecting light from a (real) lamp, but it's very faint and transparent as if it were an illusion spell I successfully identified and disbelieved. I can move my head around and my imaginary apple "holds still" correctly. To a limited extent, I can rotate the apple in 3-D space.

Even Earth won't go totally dark, thanks to the Deep Space Network allowing us to send signals on a roundabout path around the Sun.

If the various planets are communicating with each other, and using something resembling a beam of photons to do it, most of the scatter that escapes is going to be in or near the plane of their planetary system. If they're not using beams, it matters less, but they probably are. We do.

Looks like we're missing Arecibo right about now... I guess the aliens will be making first contact with the Chinese.

Carrying a vehicle around with you when you're trying to shop also sucks! I thought that was understood. Even folding bikes don't magically become weightless.

However, it's hard for humans to focus continuously for very long on something they're not actually doing. So after a period of safe autopilot, you functionally are dealing with an impaired driver if they're not situationally aware when they are expected to take control.

A city with as much vertical change as San Francisco is always going to suck to navigate under your own power.

A plastic bag rolls across the road in front of the car like a tumbleweed. Slam on the brakes assuming it's a solid object? Probably not the right move.

I don't think the engineers will forget to put multi-session writing in the spec from the beginning this time. Hopefully that lesson has been learned.

To a degree, he's right. A whole lot of people shouldn't be learning to code because they'll never be better than the AI that is either here or on the way shortly. Unfortunately, this attitude also keeps those who would be substantially better than an AI from picking up the skill set required to find that out.

Sorry, wrong country. It's North Korea that built and tested the Type O Dong.

You wanted a lawyer, right? It's either cells from the anus or genitalia.
