I think its projecting an opinion they know is misinformed - so not outright lying but staying put on the facts "the cars will never work, they're all remote controlled and are going to mow down toddlers left and right" despite knowing that there's real world data out there the contradict what they're saying. It can also come from a place where they have an agenda in that while the cars could work, they would take away jobs and therefore are railed against no matter the technical feasibility.

Not sure why people expect the same thing every time when the formula for taking the setting & concepts and applying a new genre was shown to work immensely well with Aliens. For me this series was the best thing to happen to the franchise since the first two. Prometheus has been the only one since that was interesting, but it really felt like things got chopped to hell in that movie, and there were some terrible decisions/motivations not explained, etc. The series delivered on the same old "alien in a ship hunting people down" trope while a "human/synth/cyborg" fucks everyone, but also built out the world more, added the concepts of the synth transference, and gave us a little more variety in the types of creatures that inhabit the universe. I'm for sure looking forward to season 2.

Isn't the point that there's not a place where that expense slows - that we reach "good enough" and the training stops or subsides dramatically like a railroad? Look at a related industry in chip fab - these companies need continual investment in R&D and expense building out new equipment to make the next generation of chip - they extract the value they can from the equipment but then need to refresh to keep up the revenue stream. I have no idea what that cycle is, but I think we can agree AI is much much shorter right now, and its hard to see the ROI on the build out for more models. I'm not an AI naysayer by any means, but its not really clear what the endgame is in terms of revenue and paying back all this investment, or how long this level of investment needs to be maintained. which is why its being labeled a bubble.

Unlikely, dude is the consummate political player. He'll be running the place as Special Consult to the Office of the Fallen One (SPECOFO) by Friday having sent off Saddam, Pol Pot, Osama, Hitler, Dave from Wendy's and John Denver to the mines.

Exactly - they did not have to put "made by AI" or detail _anything_ about the produciton on here, but here I am clicking on a christmas coca cola ad to see the bad AI. Clickbait wins again!

I'll let you know in 3 days if this got to my fido account! I've recently upgraded to 28.8 so I should see any attachment in 4 days.

Wait wait wait....the quantum-powered slopo-sphere doesn't have crypto. You meant to say "quantum-powered slopo-sphere...on the blockchain!"

Where is the line though? I think people would agree that a Pixar movie or a video game should classify as "art" and that of course was 100% computer generated from human instructions. The "artist" had to apply a ton of instructions to get the result they wanted, and "sculpted" the result. At what point did the intent and instructions given to the computer cross the border from "art" to "not art"?

Its a Chromebook. Think about what's in a flagship phone and a top of the line laptop 10 years ago. Now think about what people are doing on laptops and whether or not they could use that 10 year old one just fine. The "power of a phone" is all relative - in this case it can service the needs of a cheapo chromebook type experience just fine. (Its apple so will cost 2x a chromebook).

I remember there was a phone laptop docking combo a while back that did just this - you plugged the phone into the laptop and just used it there, but it looked clunky as hell. That would be pretty cool, and Apple could probably pull it off pretty slickly, but the software is probably one of the most important things and I guess some of the recent ipad merging to macos things are making that more possible.

If its tricky because of specifying the location its probably going to work, you can set a pin to your desired pickup location. If its tricky because of the area Waymo will currently do worse because it generally isn't going to do the stuff a human is going to get away with like double parking, blocking a hydrant etc. Teaching a robot to follow the rules is easy because robots really want rules to follow. If you follow all the rules in a complex traffic environment, its likely you won't do so well, other drivers don't obey the strict rules of right of way, blocking the box, etc. Waymo does pretty well at this in some areas, but poor in others, and parking for pickup seems like one of them.

I can play Crysis on my expensive cryptomining/AI hardware now??? First DOOM on a refrigerator and now this!

Found the Kenny Bania fan. (What, you said you liked sitcoms! :)

I tend to find them 50/50, and certainly don't go by the critics scores either. Murder Mystery was a good time, and as with most sequels the sequel sucked. Haven't seen Happy Gilmore 2 yet but I probably will eventually just because of the original.

Your issue is that the state of the art is rapidly advancing faster than even 6-12 months for anecdotal experiences. I'm having AI build something for me while I type this, and I guarantee you its stringing more than a few lines together. I would not rely on second hand data for this, I'd go figure it out for yourself. Every single person that hacks out code for a living right now needs to go see what the stat of the art is and figure out how to deal with it. To me it sounds like you've chosen "door ostrich" as for how this is radically going to reshape how engineers work.

Skynet was the product, Cyberdyne was the company that created Skynet, so they'd need to change to that.

Excuse me! Excuse me! This person was OUTRAGED on the internet. How dare you attempt to add facts or reasoning into the situation! Its obvious that PG&E will force them into putting the battery on the wall and then use it any time they want at gunpoint! And even if it's not true, it _could_ be true because they imagined it, so that's just as good!
