I still can’t work out what I’m supposed to do with AI. There’s no advantage in having an AI read all my emails, because the end result is I won’t know what my emails are. They may or may not be being dealt with, I don’t know.

You don’t want a neural net for your game AI because it’s behavior is unpredictable and therefore cannot be tested.

All of the issues AI companies have now times by a thousand because now the AI have access to a physical presence in the game world. It would cheat and find ways to know things about the game state that it’s not supposed to know, or it would hide in a corner as far away from the player as possible because it’s parameters is to avoid death, or some other unforeseen function of its instructions.

I do sort of feel that Samsung got a bit of a bad rep for their phones exploding because it wasn’t really their fault. The company that made the batteries took shortcuts in the manufacturing process and that’s what caused the fires. If they had followed the instructions Samsung had given them they would have been okay.

Although equally the company wouldn’t have felt the need to take shortcuts if Samsung had made the batteries to a standard design.

That’s actually quite impressive because most satellites just don’t do anything when they die. Boeing’s vehicles die with flare, and depressing regularity

Probably because it’s very important that he is involved in every discussion, even if it doesn’t initially involve him.

Yeah but in fairness the AI actually does work. You can actually use the AI to achieve things I’ve never seen anybody achieve anything beneficial with NFTs

My argument really being that there is a potential for real benefit with AI in a way that never existed for made-up digital scarcity

Right but they already have access now so closing the door after the horses bolted situation.

No one actually thought that they were a good idea it was just a bunch of con artists. It was a bubble for sure but it was an entirely artificially created one. There was no real business behind any of it.

Wait is this a feature that people want? Won’t that get confusing because you’ll have two different contact lists except the WhatsApp one will be a subset of the phone one.

Also at this point I’ve got all my contacts sorted out so I’m not going to use the feature. This would have needed to have been added at the beginning.

I have to ask, how far away do you like to be from your computer because I’ve never seen the advantage of a wireless keyboard and mouse. They just sit in front of the screen all the time, It’s not like I’m going to take them to the coffee shop or something.

You need slightly more advanced lidar for cars because you need to be able to see further ahead then 10 ft, and you need to be able to see in adverse weather conditions (rain, fog, snow), that I assume you don’t experience indoors. That said, it really isn’t as expensive as he is making it out to be.

Lidar isn’t that expensive, it’s more expensive than the cameras but it’s probably more useful than the cameras so perhaps you could install less cameras and more Lidar. Also the cost will go down as production rates go up, currently it’s high price has a lot to do with its limited applications and thus limited customer base. The more cars that have lidar, the more customers there will be, and the less each individual unit will cost.

Wouldn’t it be death by negligence rather than pre-meditated murder. After all I don’t think anyone at Tesla actually wanted this particular person to die, they just didn’t really care to take any action to prevent it.

The trouble with being a conspiracy theorist is you don’t know when to stop. Not everything that happens is part of some grand conspiracy.

Calm down.

So was twitter, at least back when it was Twitter before Mr idiot face took over.

A lot of content creators were on Twitter because, especially after the tumbler thing, it became the one place they could promote their content. Obviously they couldn’t distribute it on Twitter but it was a good place for advertising themselves. So it’s not all that surprising that those people have moved over to the new alternative. They go where the audience goes.

We just write them off when they board the Ryan air flight.

The EU has always been prepared to negotiate with Russia why wouldn’t they. But Russia has indicated on multiple occasions that it has absolutely no interest in negotiation. Of course Russia has long gone past the point at which negotiations would end favorably for them, but that’s their fault.

So this idiot is calling on the EU to do something that they were always prepared to do, and continue to be prepared to do. Meanwhile his chum is the one getting in the way.

At, so they are good plans then and likely to work.

You have to be on some pretty spectacular drugs to fall over the railings of a balcony. Millions of people all over the world manage to not do it by accident all of the time.

They’ve already demonstrated they can get it in orbit. The fact that they’ve not done it for this mission was intentional, not a limitation. They wanted the ship back, they didn’t want it sitting around in orbit doing nothing being in the way. They don’t actually have a mission for it yet, its mission is to prove that it works, so if they put it in orbit then what?

The whole point is that once it’s in orbit it has virtually no fuel on board, because that’s how they get around the rocket equation, they do fuel transfer on orbit. So in the testing scenario they would have a vehicle with virtually no maneuvering capabilities parked in a stable orbit more or less forever. Eventually its orbit would decay and it would uncontrollably into the Earth, which I think we can all agree is a bad thing.
