What is holding back AI is this business necessity that models must perform everything. Nobody can push for a smaller model that learns a few simple tasks and then build upon that,…

Based on my experiences with Kerbal Space Program, this object seem to be almost being pushed off from solar orbit. Given its 'small' size, how much energy would be required to pus…

Sorry, I failed to follow your reasoning. My comment had nothing to do with "driving software", it addressed the parent post by posing the question a different way.

You rather have a hallucinated driver or a creative driver coming your way?

Enriching uranium to levels like 60% is hard. But from there on you don't need thousands of centrifuges anymore. This means that they can set up covert enriching plants and get wea…

Because the whole purpose of these kinds of projects at Google is to keep regulators at bay. They don't need these products in the sense of making money from them. They will just b…
