Oh man I definitely agree here. I’m a huge fan of that “better than a human” threshold. Roads are already very dangerous. One of the wildest things I’ve noticed is highway driving at night in very rainy conditions, sometimes visibility will be near zero. Yet a lot of drivers are zooming around pretending they can see. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone when it happens.

I didn’t say FSD was an LLM. My comment was implementation agnostic. My point was that drivers are less forgiving to what programmatically seems like a small error than someone who is trying to generate an essay.

Other than that it performed flawlessly for over 40 minutes in a live demo.

I get that this is an alpha, but the problem with full self driving is that’s way worse than what users want. If chatgpt gave you perfect information for 40 minutes (it doesn’t) and then huge lies once, we’d be using it everywhere. You can validate the lies.

With FSD, that threshold means a lot of people would have terrible accidents. No amount of perfect driving outside of that window would make you feel very happy.

When you get a MacBook you don’t need to worry about finding and downloading an external app for almost anything

I don’t think that’s really a fair complaint against Windows when Microsoft got sued for doing exactly that.

Bialik’s delivery of questions is really good. The only downside of her hosting is she sometimes has very long pauses before she says someone is correct. I’d heard speculation that it’s because she made a slip up early on when she awarded points for an incorrect answer and the producers wanted to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

Since Ken is arguably the Jeopardy goat*, he’s much less likely to make this type of mistake.

*Brad Rutter should be up there because he beat Ken a few times in tournaments of champions and was unable to have Ken’s streak because Brad was from the 5-wins-and-go-home era.

If it’s infinite, you’d basically be gambling that no evil person exists.

People suggest using other search engines instead like Bing or DuckDuckGo, but the fact that they no longer support the “-” operator in search is annoying.

You can’t easily beat volume. I think people like to compare this to Digg’s death, but the Internet was much smaller back then and how many normal people even knew about Digg?

Official news outlets are sort of forced to call it by its official name. I feel like Western society has sort of agreed to that general rule.

Do you mean a war in space with spaceships? some war on an alien planet? Or a war on earth?

I haven’t experienced this.

Unfortunately, there’s no real way for any of us to know if it’s actually happening organically.
