    The fact that pirated books en-mass were used to train LLMs is legally irrelevant, oh do tell - why is that? The whole point of an LLM is to train a neural network based on content…

    At some point in their career the problem they're trying to solve will overwhelm even their own abilities - it just hasn't happened yet, but when it does, they'll be in for a recko…

    Musk bought Twitter with the same results a redneck buys a jacuzzi at the county faire - it was an expensive impulse purchase and the moment after buying it all your left with is r…

    This seems very much like the episode of Veep'Boxes of lies' where they try to hide their nefarious deeds alongside the real day to day inter-workings of the vice presidents office…

    Code is legacy the moment it's checked in - not writing tests is the equivalent of expecting the game of telephone to go flawlessly always and forever for every corner and major ca…

    "isn't a good orator"... Given that Trump is in office that doesn't seem to be a deal breaker

    that's a whole lot of blathering to say pre-optimization is the root of all evil... @example: the Intel meltdown &Spectre bug.

    The argument the speaker makes is extremely weak - 1.0 software programs are built of building blocks modules, 2.0 software is machine learning - what point is trying to be made he…

    in failsafe systems it's best not to depend on the thing you expect to fail to behave in a particular way when it... fails, redundancy is the key.

    Video from 2016 showing exactly that: https://www.tesla.com/videos/autopilot-self-driving-hardware... If you use this to market your car without any caveats, don't be dismissal of …

    Tesla has likely built 80-90% of an autonomous car enough to fool those who use it into believing it can be trusted. But as with all engineering endeavors that suffer from the Pare…

    No one wins when someone dies... I'm sure your right that Tesla employees are torn up. My concern is that it looks like Tesla is 90% of the way there to full autonomy and the way t…

    That's not the thrust of my point... Talking about how many people have to die to perfect autonomous vehicles is pointless, some people are willing to jump out of airplanes & they …

    It's a deceptive to assume autopilot saves lives when it too has taken them. The number of people with access to auto pilot is far fewer to statistically determine how many more ce…

    Systems that are semi autonomous where there's some expectation of intervention work well in those scenarios, keep the car in lane markers on the highway, etc. Make sure the users …

    No one dies so someone 10 years from now can watch a full episode of the family guy unimpeded for the duration of their commute. The human toll is irrelevant to the conversation, w…

    I don't buy this either nor should we it's not how the feature is marketed. "The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by t…

    While the marketing fuzz might have the tone of self driving car, I doubt the legal material in a Tesla model S as it relates to 'autopilot' has such language - its advanced steeri…
