The primary control mechanism of a car should be an old-fashioned algorithm, not AI. The AI should tell the algorithm "likely school bus identified" and the alg should then ask the AI if the bus has flashing lights or a pop-out stop sign (via a probability score). If so, stop and wait.

The point is they didn't follow orders of the TX safety board. (If interpreting that correctly.) Whether they were "logically justified" in not following orders is moot. It's TX's roads and they get final say. If Waymo gets arrogant like that, they need a time-out and a fine. If they do it a second time, bootem out of TX.

So the Communist Party tracks every time you sneeze, but they had no idea this is going on? Either that, they are in on it.

The real question is how long EU will accept the shorter-term pain.

Tariffs are an unforced error. Judging the timing of the pandemic requires a crystal ball. Most countries had it worse, Joe gets an A- if graded on a scale.

People use MS only because everyone else is using MS. That reduces training when one goes into a new org, and there are zillions of MS how-to videos because it's ubiquitous. It would take a while for a competitor to gain similar.

What the actual fuck?! If it is sensitive information, then why is it unencrypted?

There's a difference between "Spy on South Moscow at 3pm" and "Our King is in the Epstein Files."

Right before you shake on a deal, start to walk away unless they remove the fee.

his new inflatable Fed Reserve pal, I'll soon join the club. I'm investing in wheelbarrows.

For good or bad, they manufacture the most stuff. Sticking only with alternatives would limit our choice and the average prices would be higher. We'd have to shoot our own economic foot to pull that off.

I'm sure the US gov't infects their software also, by the way. Spy vs. Spy.

All the big countries are slimebags and the smaller ones don't have the resources to be global slimebags.

Star Trek called, they want their logo back.

(P.S. Thanks for the suggestion!)

I didn't say "don't sell 8k", I'm only saying the vast majority of regular people don't need it. Slashdotters are rarely regular.

Microsoft, have set bizarre profit goals and divisions are doing everything they can to meet them. The Xbox division (which handles all gaming for Microsoft) has a 30% profit target, for example, which means they are both squeezing customers extremely hard with price increases, and shutting down development

Many companies have the option of milking away customer goodwill and future R&D in order to have short-term profits, but eventually the truth has to come out. I suspect MS are playing AI Market Share Chicken with the other Big AI co's, as none wants to be the first to raise a white flag because then the investment spoils go to the others.

I otherwise wouldn't care, it would be their own problem, but the bursting of the bubble likely will take the entire economy with it.
