No, not really true.

The way AI systems have been implemented in cars produces a flat image which we run through some fancy AI and the arrive at a conclusion. But what if 1 camera sees a child and for whatever reason, the other sees a clear road? The AI is not trained to process vision the way we do, where we use all our various senses including the conflicting info we get from each eye to arrive at a conclusion. It just does a merge and then process. It should process from each sensor, then reprocess to arrive at a conclusion

Nope, not a legit argument. Augmented human driving is way safer than autonomous cars. Fun fact, the half assed approach to autonomy used in Tesla's are pretty shit, even by human standards.

Augmented driver assistance systems such as accident avoidance, preemptive braking and seatbelt tensioning systems still outperform current generation "fully" autonomous cars. The fact that we let billionaires develop their tech, for profit, in production (on the road), with a direct cost to human life, should always be a problem.

If he really wants to change the world, pay for the damn R&D, then deploy to the roads.

This is one of the comments that Elon Musk uses a lot when he says humans drive with their eyes, but its untrue. We actually have a wide array of sensory systems that help us drive. Firstly, we use our ears, eyes and body motion to drive. Secondly, unlike a fixed camera mounted on a car, our heads are in constant motion. This means that we cover blind spots better than a fixed camera, and we are able to determine if it's a small deer really close by, and a large deer really far away. Our brains take multiple 3d images and stitch them together to determine size, distance and speed.

The best way to explain the driving using your eyes fallacy is basically to look at fpv RC cars, and see how much sensory information you have been robbed of while trying to pilot the vehicle

Lol, it took me a second to figure out this chart.

I was wondering where the hell am I reasonably expecting to encounter a 2.5 meter tall 5 year old...

We're just gonna have trash dragged on to the circuit now

Ok, I'll go first... Who the fuck says 2 million and 300 thousand? Either say 2.3 million, or 2 300 000 or even two million and three hundred thousand. Fuck it, even two point three million would work. But 2 million and 300 thousand? You're the fucking alien dammit!

I get the security issues, sure, those are valid, but the privacy ones are even worse. Imagine a teenager trying to search information on being gay, or possible intrusive thoughts on their family computer, only for their super maga right wing parent to find it in the screenshots.

Or someone being abused at home and searching for support facilities, deleting history and being outed by recall.

Wait, how about credit card fraud as a result of EVERYONE who has access to this computer can read your cc data?

Or, my husband was looking at jewelry online yesterday and he hasn't told me, he must be cheating, right? Oh sorry, I forgot, our anniversary is next week... Hahahaha, don't be upset babe.

Best one ever though, imagine your search history, your porn watch history accessible to anyone with access to your computer? The fucking horrific existence of having an employer process this data at scale using fancy staff monitoring program 7, and run stats on the fact that you had a toilet break while working from home, and they want to know if it was a number 1, or a number 2 so they can work a mean time to shit metric into your KPA/scorecard.

Guys, whatever benefit you think this is. It's not worth it.

I hate to break it to you brother, but that guy was not sent to heaven.

Also, self defence argument holds here. Someone was running his mouth, he also ran his. Someone threw a punch, he returned fire. No escalation. Self defence

This is the way

Why did people find your amazing mathematical achievement amazing? Racism. Sexism... Oh yeah, also because we're young. So not because it's cool, it's hard and it's amazing? Nope, just because we happen to be black girls in school, and did this in America...

Such sadness man. Even the bit about people saying African Americans don't have the brains for it or something. Wow, it's sad.

Gotten even easier after X became a registered trademark. Now the only choice we have left is i. Or ii if you need more variables

This article may be clickbait, and it may or may not be a true representation of which is actually more risky, but I want to say that I am sorry for my role that we, as men, have played to let it get to the point where this isn't considered a stupid comparison and I am both saddened and deeply sorry that women are made to feel this way.

 

Not sure if I should be more concerned that I have snakes around, or more concerned that I have spiders who are capable of hunting them and dragging them up into my garage roller doors. I have also found a scorpions almost a meter up from the ground in their webbing
