They going to pin that on AI too? ChatGPT got it done via blackmail.

The technology to pilot a car from the Philippines in traffic and in urban areas among pedestrians and cyclists would be 100x harder to develop than autonomous driving.

Try it, then comment.

It's very easy to close the doors on a car automatically. Just pull forward slightly and brake hard .. the momentum will close the door. It works every time on any car. I can't believe the geniuses at Waymo don't know that.

Uh, so? That's a big deal. That's like what the "nuclear fusion is an engineering problem" people say. Yes it is, so what? It's incredibly tough and needs solving.

Who does that anymore?

Ok, we've proven robots are good at dancing and punching. Neither of those have any commercial value. How about showing they can do commercially useful tasks that require manual dexterity. Like, I dunno, assemble an iPhone .. or place a workpiece into a CNC machine or something. There's a word for the paradox that robots can't do ultra simple tasks that a kid can do .. for example one-handedly select a key from a keychain while grasping them. Take out only a rubber band from within a bag of trinkets.

Robots are better at arresting.

tis but a scratch

Why aren't the democrats asking who pocketed the $3 trillion DOGE saved?

Hmm, why not eat cancer .. that would solve both issues.

Can't they get our files back from the storage array at Sam Altman's house?

Yukkk. No thanks!

The CEO of Steam/Valve?

The assumption there is that nobody can produce anything here that China would want? How is that logical? China has a huge consumer market too. They want airplanes, heavy equipment, software (they can't pirate corporate software as it would be unsupported), etc. At some point robots will be able to do most jobs, and we'll need universal basic income obtained by the government providing some shares in the robot companies to people. Astute people would have their own private shares too from which they get good dividends. Income will have to come from ownership stake, private and (minimally) public.
