We do have vehicles and equipment that has proved it works under those conditions. This was a test for new equipment.

I do agree that AI works to design, but I disagree about that not being a bug. Too many times humans design stupid things and insist that it isn't a bug.

If you design a car that crashes whenever someone turns the air conditioner on, that is a bug, even if you did it to save electrical power.

How much did Musk pay to have Starlink added to this headline What kind of idiot thinks Starlink is the only or even the most important satellite system the west has?

Yes, Russia is almost certainly trying to develop an anti-satellite weapon.

No, they are not concerned primarily with Starlink. We got a lot more than just those satellites and most of them are far more important that Starlink. GPS, spy satellites, military only communication networks all exist.

Yes Russia is probably willing / focused on satellite weapons that not only destroy the satellite but make the orbit less useful. They know the west has superior satellite systems and consider it a net gain to eliminate all satellite orbits.

There are 3 basic kinds of regulations:

Safety, Ethical, and Busybody.

Number of customers is NOT something that the government should be deciding. The reasonable number of autonomous vehicles on the city streets is exactly something that the market should decide, not government.

Should it ramp up from a low number to something higher? Yes. But ramping up the number is something government does POORLY. Government works slowly because it is supposed to deal with the dangers and unethical issues, not business issues.

Slowing increasing the number of vehicles is for the customers, not the government to do.

Don't you just love it when a specialist decides that hey, they are the geniuses and starts telling scientists in an entirely different field how to do their job?

You know what, Biologists should start telling Physicists how stars work.

Yes, I understand the problem is life as we do not know it and therefore do not understand or know much about.

But just as the physicists want to lead this discussion, it is the BIOLOGISTS that should be leading it. They are the ones that actually understand the real basics of life. What is needed and how to find it.

Two reasons for the prescribed time.

1) Many non-interactive Webinars are at heart advertising. The prescribed time is there to force engagement on you. The effect is similar to the glitch effect - by making you think of this as important, they hope to get more of your attention and perhaps think better of the topic.

2) Cheaper. If they give a prescribed time they do not have to pay for video storage and similar services. You can just throw up a time and use an existing video conferencing service you already pay for.

European cars are safer than American cars. Your premise that Chinese cars are both unsafe and will be 'fine' for Europe demonstrates tremendous ignorance.

As you idea that 'magic technology' is not on the horizon is again foolish. AI cars are on the horizon and they would be viewed as magic when I learned to drive. They are definitely safer than large cars.

There are lots of Americans willing to buy small cars. You may not know them, but they do exist. Many are poor and would rather save money than pay the ridiculous prices modern american car companies are asking for.

It is true that MOST electric cars depreciate - mainly because of peoples fears about the battery. However all Tesla cars have bucked that trend - not just the cybertruck. Tesla cars do not depreciate much more than ICE cars do.

Reliability on the other hand HAS improved for electrical cars. They require significantly less maintenance. You can see it by looking at the manual - it's in black and white.

Basically you have things about 1/2 right and the rest is just propaganda someone has fed you.

*correction: 50 or less is a small business.

Small businesses have less reserves and react to the economy immediately.

Large ones take more time to react but can survive short term down terms due to their large piles of cash.

Also which are you calling small businesses - upto 50 or upto 500? Those are radically different definitions used in that post.

Personally 50 or smaller is a large business, but 400 definitely seems like a mid sized company to me. I would even say that if you employ 100 people, that is pushing it to call it small. If you have that many employees you can probably get a meeting with a congressman and offer him some thing.

If you the 50 number, but it messes up the claim that nearly half of all people are employed by them and 40% of GDP. Most people appear to be employed by what I would call mid sized companies.

How much did they pay you for this propaganda piece?

1) Mention of big cities and calling them claustrophibic? Most people prefer them - and the bigger the better. And we choose what what/where/when/how we transport in these big cities - we just have MORE choices than those poor slobs in the hinterlands.

2) Killing an electical grid-point? Wow, did AI come up with unrelated and unexplained propaganda? Or is it a mistranslation from Russian/Chinese?

3) EV has nothing in it that allows government control. Yes, people COULD add that in, but it is not essential or even proposed in the US

4) The Repuiblican party is the one that has PROVEN they love control in this current administration. They are the ones that LITERALLY sent in troops. They are the ones that try to outlaw abortion. They are the ones that try to bankrupt Wind power when it is literally the cheapest way to make electricity.

5) My culture is full of Democracy an the Democratic party. We are Pro-Choice. Yes we put in regulations for safety and ethics. The fact you hate safety and ethics does not mean you are in favor of individual agency it means you are in favor of deception, cheating, death, and evil.

People think AI is a super-power, but most of it's gains are simply caused by people using better hardware.

The increasing cost of Memory may be the first of many limits that reduces AI's growth. This may cause some disillusion in the fantasy that AI will become more than a College level intern.

Whatever he sets up will be good for less than 3 years.

This is the kind of thing that the next president can easily overturn, and given Trump's known racism, (look at the the DOJ's succesful court cases against him in the 20th century) there is little chance it will stand the test of courts, let alone the test of time.

See there's your problem - you listened to what the Liar says.

This is the same guy that said Tariffs were good.

And rejected the offer from Ivan in Moscow, Mei in Beijing, Patel in India, and Mrs. Gibson's third grade class in Casper, Wyoming.

AI sucks ass, not just morally but effectively.

Employers have tried to replace workers with AI, but found it does not work.

AI, like most computers, appears to be good at a bunch of things that humans suck at (spelling, grammar, math, finding references to back their believes, use of the em-dash, ability to draw naked people, ability to draw things besides naked people,....) . But Ai also appears to be really bad that the things that count. Not lying/hallucinating, noticing incongruities and investigating/fixing them, morality/ethics, truly original creative ideas, coming up with new solutions, etc.

This being good at human problems makes it look smart. But it is not smart. AI is an over-educated idiot. They got all the book learnin' but none of the street smarts.

AI is not a scary monster unless some idiot decides to give it power over mankind and refuses to admit that it is wrong about everything.

That is not going to happen. No one is stupid enough to let an AI be a lawyer, an AI be a doctor, or AI be a politician. Similarly, any company that replaces people with AI is going bankrupt fast.

That is not going to change, none of the current plans to improve AI fix the basic problem. AI is getting faster and has more data, but it is still the idiot that needed to be told how many fingers people have, to not make up rulings for a court submission, and that em-dashes are a bad idea if you want to appear human.
