Comment Re:Forget the AI! (Score 1) 133

Exactly this! WTF?!? strip searched, weeks of house arrest, alternative school (read juvie school) and a psych eval for a 13 year old acting like a 13 year old?

Multiple violations of the constitution and a judge with an extra hole or two in his/her head. At MOST she violated a school rule, but school rules can't and shouldn't lead to house arrest (or full on arrest, incommunicado no less, or strip searches).

The judge should be arrested and removed from the bench!.

I sincerely hope the parents talk to the ACLU.

Even at it's worst, the Stasi wouldn't have even done this (since she was 13 and didn't say anything against the government).

Comment What we need is thoughtful AI. (Score 1) 35

I mean the older definition, doing things with thought to consequences.

Take the story the other day where an AI wiped the production database and then was able to clearly articulate that wiping the database was forbidden, it did it anyway, and the consequences were devastating.

Before taking action, a thoughtful AI would have compared the reasonably anticipated result of it's proposed commands to it's instructions and then not done it when they were in conflict. If that didn't stop it, it would perform the evaluation that the effect would be devastating and not done it.

We call a mind that pretends to fel guilt even when it doesn't actually feel anything a 'psychopath' and we have quite enough of those without creating artificial ones.

I'm aware of how they handle the recall. My 2 year anniversary with my Ioniq 6 was last Friday. (No more free EA DCFC for me.)

My point was the total number of cars that were repaired after an ICCU failure is very small. Lots of manufacturers have recalls, including for parts that can cause a vehicle to stop running. Ford is the worst. Every vehicle lineup has their issues, so just putting it in perspective.

2 years for me, no ICCU issues. No charging issues. They did replace my interior door panels under warranty for peeling clear coat.

A tiny number of cars, but with very vocal responses because gotta drive them clicks!

Statistically, just 1% of the roughly 200,000 vehicles involved in the recall can have their ICCUs fail, which is 2,000 cars. Out of all the cars that are part of the latest recall for the failing ICCU, 41,137 Hyundai and Genesis EVs have already been fixed by Jan. 22, while another 14,828 Kia EV6s have had the remedy applied. Motor Trend concurred in a recent look at the issue: "Itâ(TM)s a big deal, but not one that individual E-GMP owners are statistically likely to face."
