"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.

I know nothing about how these vehicles are performing… but I am aware of what driving is like in the Philippines (as a Filipino). You don’t want someone from a foreign country who has never driven where you are physically present to be remotely driving any vehicle due to traffic. I’ve known relatives who taught others to drive that were used to inner city Philippines traffic; you can’t use that experience in a place like the U.S.
EDIT: I just realized I assumed these people are not doing anything technically wrong. My point was that even if you can remotely drive a vehicle well, driving in the Philippines is known for being aggressive and dealing with highly congested traffic.
They're not driving whatsoever. They're just giving the autopilot instructions as to how to get unstuck when it encounters a situation it can't deal with. These people are not remotely taking the wheel. The car announces this to the passengers when this happens too. The article title is intentionally misleading.
