The human bottleneck will remain. But we need to get away from the "test and fix" amateur approach we currently use. We need to do "secure by construction and design" instead. It just costs money and requires actually qualified engineers. It is known how to do it though.

So? Lidar plus camera fails a lot less than camera alone. I have no idea why you event try to do FUD here.

Observable evidence from about 40 years of research into this say he is exactly right and that the additional sensors make a huge difference. Your entirely invalid claim is that computer vision can be as good as human vision. No idea where you take that from, but it cannot be actual research, because actual reality is that nobody knows.

There are tons of things computers can do that humans could do first. But what we basically always find is that there is a way to do it without insight, often by brute-forcing things and mixing that with some algorithms (that have no clue what they are doing).

Hence basically most cases where computers replicate human skill, we are pretty sure they do it differently.

You mistake what "safety" means. It just means accident rated below an acceptable threshold. It does not mean perfection at all.

Yes. The expectation is that in Europe, in the not too distant future, human driving will essentially go away because of insurance cost.

AI can generate lots of bug-reports and most will be fake or low-quality. The human review needed is the actual bottleneck. And that will not go away.

The admitting would have to be done now.

RAM and block-storage may, at some point converge, but that is in the future. Block-storage will require you design for it for quite a while still.

Au contraire. I have actual, hands on-experience with it. You are the clueless one here.

Not yet. Some junior coders may find themselves sacked and unemployable, but most people can still work without LLMs and ripping them out of places where they basically do damage will also be entirely feasible. Maybe if they had managed to keep the hype for 10 years or longer, but that is completely outside of the possible.

Yes. And it looks to me like that will happen pretty soon now.

Yep. Would get anybody else a long prison sentence.

Direct criminal action sounds "shady" to you? Seriously?

The Republicans will not impeach him, no matter what he does.
