How cute. You still think that the Rule of Law applies. I do not think you realize what is happening in the USA right now. All it takes is a little money in the right place and those inspections never happen.

The real problem with AI is that it is not productive. We are spending all of this money, and what are we getting for it? An awkward coding assistant? Yeah no. The real purpose of AI is to monitor YOU, as it already does with Flock cameras.

You have no idea how true that statement is. We will be funding our own personal "social monitor" which will give us tickets/citations for violating the morality code. The future looks so gross. 1984 didn't even come close to how horrific this will be. And yet everyone is just sitting here while the noose is surrounding their necks. All of your devices are tattletales. Your car is legally enforced to take action for/against you.

This is not the future I want for others. I want to offer Freedom and Liberty to the future, not chains around their neck forcing them to act.

Bro, any single metric, in isolation, will always favor the mechanical. Think your foot is steady? A machine can do it steadier. Think you pay attention to the road? A machine can pay more attention. Think your reactions are fast? A machine is an order of magnitude faster.

Every single metric, in isolation, a machine compares more favorably.

So why do some humans get better gas mileage than machines in real world long distance driving? Why do some humans have far fewer "close calls"?

It is because humans have something called context. They can see that a hill is coming up and can gain a bit of speed cheaply downhill before going up the hill. They look forward 12 cars ahead and see that the tractor trailer is either slowing down or speeding up. They can see the kid's ball flying into the road, knowing that a kid will be following shortly.

In summary, while machines can ping every metric in isolation better than a human, it can not combine all of those metrics better than a human can. Machine driving is barely able to replace the worst of us. It has a long way to go before it can even compete with the best of us.

If the AI could have context, it wouldn't need to have faster reactions. A machine is generally faster at reacting than I am; however, I am FAR better at NOT getting into situations where a faster reaction time matters. In fact, I have decades and hundreds of thousands of miles to demonstrate this principle. You have a VERY long row to hoe if you will try to convince me to get into a FSD car.

Odd. How much beyond this are we:

Because what I read there had NOTHING about "reasoning" and none of the models I have looked at appear to be capable of any sort of reasoning. "AI" as it currently stands is nowhere near the concept of 'reasoning'.

Well yeah, of course people are focusing on Flock. Out of all of the various systems, Flock is the one that is most clearly and brightly against the US Constitution. It is blatantly illegal with no possible excuse... and yet it still exists. WTF?

Both Gnome and KDE were busy growing from almost nothing. They were scrappy and usable.

Then, just before 2.0 (?), both projects went insane simultaneously and started talking about how confused users were and how much hand-holding the users needed. The number of processes exploded and started eating up stupid amounts of resources. It started looking a LOT like Microsoft style engineering where everything is fucked up and unmanageable.

Now, we are here. Both projects have never recovered from what happened in the early 2000's. Both projects are a mess. Neither projects gets any support from me.

Linux on the desktop was successfully subverted. How? I don't know. I absolutely blame Microsoft.

Rules will not work when the governing body does not respect rules for itself.

Would there be outrage? From who? We already have Flock and the only people pissed off are the hundreds of millions of citizens. The tens of thousands that we "elect" to lead all seem pretty happy with it and are willing to suppress stories of outrage by the vast majority of people.

This is the real problem with these systems. Just as Flock, a non-government system, can be misused to throw you in jail.

Do you ever feel like you are an innocent white tourist who is lost amidst an island of cannibals?

The question you are asking implies that you probably shouldn't feel terribly comfortable at Slashdot as many of the folks here understand WHY this person did what they did at a very fundamental level. You do not. That means that many of the motivations that occur here are a complete mystery to you.

You are very welcome here; however, I have to wonder why you want to be here.

Long story short, some people have a motivation to do certain things. When those things align with physical reality, magic happens. Money, power, etc are NOT motivations in this scenario. Just learning is. Doing what is in the mind with real physical objects. It is an orgasmic experience. The why is not really explainable with words. You either know, or you don't.

Don't freak out too bad here, but I have some news for you: There are lots of things you do not know. Even if you lived for a million years doing nothing but learning, there would still be things you would not know. No matter how complete you think your internal representation of the world is, it isn't complete.

Just quoting for entertainment purposes.

Rime of the Ancient Mariner reference. Anyone who listened to Iron Maiden would recognize that line instantly.

Obscure references like that is what made Family Guy and American Dad so entertaining. They seem to have lost that with Seth McFarlane not writing those shows anymore.
