You would think they would at least put a HUD (similar to the Telluride, et al.) if they were going to pull those shenanigans.

I'll talk to my friends in Korea to see if it is overall accurate, but if it is accurate most of them will buy a different brand. Well, if they own a car anyway.

Don't say that, they'd probably create something similar to LADD. This is more likely because they can see public backlash against data centers, ALPR's, inflation, et al., and are trying to keep from being hurt too badly in November.

From 16 to 60 one truism I've seen in my, admittedly small in world terms, sample is that young people who have driven a car (any car) with more physical buttons DESPISE screen based controls. They don't hate them because they're on the screen but because they're harder to work accurately while driving.

Thank you for playing, good night.

While some might want to call that program AI that's like calling your graphing calculator AI. Logic Theorist had a defined set of proofs and nothing else. The program couldn't grab different proofs. Note that they didn't add unknown problems to the program to solve. Also note that the program couldn't generate unique problems.

So it is just like calling word hunters like LLM's AI. They don't have understanding, will, or curiosity, which are pre-requisites for actual intelligence. You're basically calling ALL of the programs that do OCR artificial intelligence, which is pathetically laughable. At that point a Difference Engine or any calculator is AI, and one that is more robust than LLM's because it doesn't spit out incorrect answers as truth.

Yann LeCun has also said LLM's are technological dead end but lets be ever more brutal than him:

Today's large language models are a coat of paint on old 1960's technology then juicing it up by running it on modern compute hardware. Are you saying that they developed working AI in the 1960's?

Please say yes... please say yes.

Uh huh, so you keep skipping that part by stringing together buzzwords. To quote Shoreh Aghdashloo's character in the Expanse:

"or some other bunch of science words you can string together?"

You keep avoiding saying it is intelligent, much less an intelligence. You also dodge how systems, that are not AI, were used for years to do things that just get AI slapped on them now. The developers of those systems would have laughed in your face if you called the product AI.

I don't see you demonstrating it's actually Artificial INTELLIGENCE. Why? Because nothing about this is AI. Nothing about the cameras or the backend has intelligence.

Nope earlier try again.

Are you going to call the 1960's / 1970's Lizabots (the precursor for today's frontier models) AI? For me this one it would be entertaining as I've seen mimics of the systems in operation.

Do you define all fuzzy logic as AI? Oh man, this would be HILARIOUS..

Were they doing AI back in the early 1990's? I worked at a company that was building computer vision systems that could tell the difference between a human hand and a fly.

Obviously you disagree with researchers like Yann LeCun who say that LLM's are ultimately a dead end. How do you think OpenAI / Anthropic are going to overcome the shortcomings of moving beyond being a word guess engine?

Yeah and words mean nothing so simple OCR for license plates and some basic image processing software are not AI.

You're not going to claim that we've been using AI for years to do OCR and sort pictures at home, are you? In fact given that Flock is wrong (supposedly ~70% of the time) and I can verify from my own use that Ubiquiti doesn't do the best job with license plates or faces.

Did you do the heat calculation on a SINGLE compute module. Each SINGLE compute module (2U) of the upcoming Vera Rubin is 2300 watts of heat under ideal conditions. Let's be nice and make it 2,000 watts for easier maths. A rack of Vera Rubin is 18 modules (36U) totaling out 36,000 watts of heat. The ISS can dissipate about 3,000 kWh per day so you might be thinking "HEY THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!"

Ha ha ha! No. That was SPOT heat under full load of the compute cluster versus the day load of ISS heat radiation... so the actual full load day cost 4.5 to 5.2 MWh per day versus 3 MWh per day. I mean, it's only a tiny bit off, right? Well, no. That's the equivalent of adding ANOTHER cooling array. Why? You're not accounting for the cooling of what would be an even more massive solar array to power those GPUs. Yes you need to cool the solar array as well.

So basically each compute module is more than an ISS being launched into space, that has to be assembled by humans, is only good for a couple years, is vulnerable to data corruption or even permanent circuit damage due to solar storms, and is vulnerable to even a snowflake moving a ridiculous speeds.

I'm not even going to go into the solar array sizing to power this fantasy.

Tell me again how datacenters in space make sense.

They are not running an AI model on camera. That data is stored on the camera with the info, so unless they like high cell bills they didn't download it from the central system. Not that Ubiquiti doesn't sell it this way as well - but they aren't running an AI model on a camera or the gateway. All those "AI" security systems used by banks and casinos? NOT AI either folks.

The marketing flacks tell them to call it "AI" because that gets people thinking it's SOOPER HIGH TECHY TECH stuff. Basically it's because 1) We decided that acronyms and words don't have to mean anything anymore so companies just lie through their teeth and because, 2) in the words of Henry Rollins "SOME PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU TELL THEM!" Actually a disturbingly high number of the people will believe anything they are told. They're the same people who think that using rockets to replace airplanes is a viable idea.

Granted, it isn't like perpetual doom trollers OpenAI and Anthropic have developed AI.

We used to have far easier to read plates - go back to when I was nowhere near driving a car and we had black and yellow plates that lasted decades.

Capitalism has destroyed license plate durability in the name of profit.

This is why any cameras even remotely similar to this need to have a LOCAL warrant requirement. You have to run to a LOCAL judge and swear, IN PERSON, to the specifics of he case. This helps undo some of the shenanigans police have been getting away with separately for years now. Make sure data is stored, and only to be accessed, locally. This last one is a poison pill, as it would destroy Flock's business model.

Next make unauthorized access (any access without a search warrant) a felony worth a minimum of 5 years in prison. Yes, with a search warrant.

That's not an impediment at all if the case is real. During a real life emergency cops can get a search warrant so fast it isn't funny.

First: They don't think - there is no will or independence.

Second: Wow, isn't it amazing that whenever the questions start about AI that they suddenly have a new doom troll?

Third: Why are humans still programming? Dario said Claude would be programming EVERYTHING as of a few months ago.

Fourth: Where is the white collar JOBSPACOLYPSE?

Fifth:What is the ROI?

Last: Who actually believe Elon's hype anymore? This crap about "DATACENTERS IN SPPAAACCCCEEEEEE!!!!!!!" flies in the face of not just materials science but physics.

Local politics are some of the most responsive to people / voters.

Madison took out cameras, and the county took them down shortly afterward because it wasn't worth it without the others.

Watch how quickly data centers and cameras have started to become local issues. You have some people who ignore it, but more than a few have ended up recalled. One police chief was told to "Do your job instead of sitting on your butts, or are we supposed to slash department funding because the cameras do all your work." Oh you'd better believe that got that chief on the back foot.

Of course the assistance of the cameras is vastly overstated by Flock. They took credit for auto theft going down in Denver... except it had already been going down BEFORE the cameras were installed... and continued AFTER the cameras had been removed.
