Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The police reported that the Model 3 "failed to drive in a single lane, left the roadway and struck the residence" at a "high rate of speed." The crash involved a woman, Martha Avila, who was inside the house. She was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead "due to injuries she sustained from the crash," police said. The police release said there were "no signs of intoxication" from the driver, who was also cooperative during the investigation.

Okay let's be clear that I fuckin hate AI but this still seems like user error rather than the car's autopilot killing someone? Like... you can still slam the brakes even if you're in autopilot mode. It's basically souped up cruise control.

Again, I hate AI passionately, but let's try to use our higher reasoning too, or else we're no better than the assholes who ask ChatGPT for relationship advice and basic math

I agree with you, but I think both Tesla and the "driver" should be liable. Tesla should be liable for how they market their vehicles "self driving" features. The driver for not making a reasonable attempt to prevent an accident.

I hear that. I think Tesla's "self driving car" bullshit needs to stop until we have actual self-driving vehicles... but then, I don't want self driving cars, I want public transport that functions so that we don't need or want self driving cars

The funny thing is what their end goal is is too have self driving taxies so most people won't actually own the vehicle.

Public transportation ( if it's good) solves this and it's better for the environment.

I think it's China that's experimenting with Smart cars all talking to each other so if one stops suddenly or hits a hazard they all stop at the same time.

Basically they are all linked together.
