That this would happen? Oh, I know! Let's put a HUGE touch screen in the vehicle, make it convenient with all the bells and whistles of their phone! It will be great! Pssss and when they get use to it, we'll start INJECTING ADS and there isn't anything they can do because it's the only way to OPERATE THEIR VEHICLE. HA HA HA HA HA HA.

Two problems with your statements

First problem: Waymos have been driving on highways for a long time.

Second, is you are looking at the data totally wrong. To be better than human drivers, all any *individual* Waymo driver has to have is more miles than *the average individual driver* - and that number is already passed by tens-of-thousands.

The "number of trips that happen in a single day" is not relevant whatsoever as a safety metric.

Not surprised. Sadly, attention span for both adults & students is decreasing as both become addicted to screens.

Too right they are experts in "misinformation"
Heres 10 examples of the nations least trusted broadcaster's (BBC) "Misinformation"

1. Question Time audience composition
Audience makeup on Question Time has drawn complaints from both directions for years — Conservative and Brexit-supporting critics say audiences skew liberal-left, even hiring actors to pose as members of the public to present a false narrative.

2. Diane Abbott / Fiona Bruce polling exchange (2019)
Abbott was corrected on-air over polling figures; the BBC later admitted its review found she'd been right to say other polls suggested Labour was either ahead or tied, and conceded it should have made that clear at the time.

3. Newsnight's Corbyn/Kremlin graphic (2018)
Newsnight placed Corbyn's image against Moscow's skyline during Salisbury poisoning coverage - his hat had been digitally altered to look more "Russian."

4. Laura Kuenssberg's "grim reading" postal vote claim (2019)
On the eve of the 2019 election, Kuenssberg's claim that postal votes looked bad for Labour drew roughly 15,000 complaints from viewers since in order to make such a statement regarding postal votes sugesting she must have had access to that data prior to the result.

5. 2019 general election coverage overall
The BBC reportedly received over 60,000 complaints about its election coverage, a sharp jump from 5,000 in 2015 and 7,000 in 2017, with complaints about anti-Corbyn bias.

6. Boris Johnson Question Time audience-laughter edit (2019)
The BBC edited a daytime news clip to remove audience laughter that followed a question to Johnson about honesty, prompting accusations of favorable editing.

7. Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone (2025)
An internal BBC review found the documentary breached editorial guidelines on accuracy by failing to disclose the child narrator was the son of a senior Hamas official. Ofcom went further, ruling the film was "materially misleading" and breached the Broadcasting Code.

8. Gaza: Doctors Under Attack ( 2025)
Running the other direction: the BBC declined to broadcast this Gaza documentary after members of the (separate, independent) production team made public comments accusing Israel of war crimes. BBC suppressed coverage rather telling the truth.

9. Iraq War coverage (2002–2003)
BBC facilitated government WMD claims (including the "45 minutes" assertion) with insufficient scrutiny in the run-up to war. Further more the government's dossier had been "sexed up," which triggered the Hutton Inquiry, the death of David Kelly, and the resignation of the Director-General and Chairman after Hutton found against the BBC's editorial processes. So the BBC was too credulous toward the government.

10. "False balance" on economic/austerity coverage
A frequently cited academic critique (Cardiff University media research, among others) argues BBC economics coverage in the early 2010s tended to frame deficit reduction as consensus common sense rather than a contested policy choice, disproportionately featuring City/financial-sector voices over dissenting economists.

What the hell is that? Is that a salesman in PC-speak?

AlphaFold 3 is being developed by Isomorphic Labs, a different Alphabet subsidiary. The fact that it is no longer being developed by DeepMind is irrelevant to both the project and the world.

IE, this story is just bogus and poorly researched. There isn't much more to say about it.

Yep - and the taxpayers will pay millions, and the idiots responsible continue in their jobs.

His podcast Better Offline is squarely targeted at people who are very much online. Indeed his entire gig is the epitome of online living.

If Ed Zitron really felt better offline, he wouldn't be making a living off of a podcast and constant AI bashing.

Not that I necessarily disagree with him though... It's just that the messenger doesn't really befit the message.

Is gaslighting Germany. In that it fails to report on the same crackdown on free speech in the UK.
The Telegraph AKA Torygraph is therefore not a trusted source.

Ok, but some of us actually want to do something useful instead of just try to win the trophy of making a model run on the cheapest hardware. Unless you're generating at least ~30 tokens / second, it's not useful.

If you want to split the cost evenly, sure. But a team of 3 people working at a software company today typically pays the AI companies about $5,000-$10,000 a month, so I don't think they need to rely on the parts of the world where $400 is twice their income.

And that was before they started burning through AI Tokens.

Let it be known that our future is bleak - mitigation is not enough and world leaders are doing the opposite of what is needed.

That said we can always spaff a few million on a new report that tells us nothing we dont already know and results in no action being taken.

Arguably Zig isnt faster , rather Zig and Rust produce binaries of similar performance. However , Zig is the highest paid programming language...

I posted on the thread crying for money that they were getting pummeled on here and less than an hour later MY post was pulled. Once again proving they only like POSITIVE posts in their favor.

DUH! These AI things will not speak bad about anyone they are programmed too. Plus, with all of the money China is throwing at the anti Data center protests in the United States, you can 100% bet they won't talk ill of Xi in China.
