  • Yes of course edge and corner cases are going to take much longer to train on because they don’t occur as often. But as soon as one self-driving car learns how to handle one of them, they ALL know. Meanwhile humans continue to be born and must be trained up individually and they continue to make stupid mistakes like not using their signal and checking their mirrors.

    Humans CAN handle cases that AI doesn’t know how to, yet, but humans often fail in inclement weather, around construction, etc etc.




  • My thing is that I don’t think most humans are much more than this. We too regurgitate what we have absorbed in the past. Our brains are not hard logic engines but “best guess” boxes and they base those guesses on past experience and probability of success. We make choices before we are aware of them and then apply rationalizations after the fact to back them up - is that true “reasoning?”

    It’s similar to the debate about self driving cars. Are they perfectly safe? No, but have you seen human drivers???








  • No it fucking ain’t.

    Well, that settles it. Who can argue with this kind of airtight logic?

    Your post is unnecessarily hostile and offers nothing, son. I’ve worked at the same place for 8 years now, probably longer than you’ve been out of diapers, and yes, working alongside people does form a bond. If you’ve ever had to cooperate with someone, trust someone, get through difficulties with someone, you’d know all this. But from the way you enjoy flinging obscenities at strangers I doubt you have much experience forming bonds with people, period.

    Oh, you’re one of those fucking extroverts.

    And here’s the part where I just laugh in your face.








  • I work in tech and I cannot overstate the AI craze that executives are on. We are constantly told to use it for everything, and that the only secure jobs are those held by people who use AI for everything. Using AI all the time is the only way they think you’re maximally productive. My LinkedIn is full of CEOs and influencers all crying that people who use AI will be elevated and everyone else will be dropped. In the most extreme cases, they imply that people who don’t use AI are obviously so stupid that you wouldn’t want to employ them anyway.

    Meanwhile I sit at my desk trying to make it do something useful.
