That exits essentially for aircraft today, albeit not automated. Try flying your little Cessna too close to the capitol mall or any number of sites in the world. You’ll very quickly and very unceremoniously be intercepted by other aircraft with big guns telling you to get the hell out.
It’s pretty common to have unlicensed off road vehicles, especially in the mountain west. Farmers and ranchers often have at least one of these. There’s plenty of recreational users as well.
That doesn’t mean that this isn’t true in a technical sense. It’s correct that it isn’t feasible for the majority of the population.
You’ll sometimes also see small communities with private roads that allow unlicensed vehicles, such as retirement communities, but they often have their own standards for what is allowed.
If you are driving off-road, or completely on private property, you're not really driving the vehicle to "go somewhere" or commute or transport people/goods.
It isn't really feasible to use a vehicle for actual transportation without using public roads, at least in these United States.
So what possible cause or reason would any law enforcement have, for going into a vehicle like that and searching it? I mean, compared to someone driving on a public road and "going somewhere" while "carrying stuff" in there? Nearly none, right?
Adopting advertising in almost an inevitably in any tech at this point. I wouldn’t necessarily attribute it to anything they’re seeing in usage - IMO its just the standard “we’re leaving money on the table by not” that we’ve seen time and time again.
The C-levels who jumped on the bandwagon are definitely not going to fall on their swords should it go south. They’ll blame the tech, fire some subordinates, suggest their customers for “not understanding it”, and their shareholders will eat it up as long as they get a pound of flesh.
> suggest their customers for “not understanding it”
See Microsoft's recent "We don't understand how you all are not impressed by AI."
In the case of MS, you're right, Satya isn't going to fall on his own sword. They will just continue to bundle and raise prices, make it impossible to buy anything else (because you still need the other tools) and then pitch that to shareholders as success "Look how many people buy Copilot (even though it's forcefully bundled into every offering we sell("
They’ll just move on to the next company that will hire them with a golden parachute.
There’s minimal risk to the decision makers. Meanwhile, every one of us peons is significantly more at risk of losing our jobs whether we could be effectively replaced with these AI tools or not because our own C-level execs decided to drink the snake oil that is the current bubble.
Everyone is a decision maker. Don't let your perceived lack of impact discourage you. For instance, I help my community by feeding them. It's small, but powerful.
I assumed we are talking about IT professionals using tools like claude here? But even for normal people it's not really hard if they manage to leave the cage in their head behind that is ms windows.
My father is 77 now and only started using computer abover age 60, never touched windows thanks to me, and has absolutely no problems using (and administrating at this point) it all by himself
I’m sorry but I’m going to call bullshit on the “nobody knew there could be issues with things this algorithm spits out” when these companies openly brag about training their models on such stable corpuses like…checks notes…Reddit among other things.
that has nothing to do with sycophancy and memory, reddit comments are quite adversarial in most communities and is the opposite of how these LLMs behave. the training is just associations
your comment is a perfect example of why legislative bodies would have tried to regulate the wrong thing without knowing the more nuanced industry trend
It doesn’t matter how much lipstick they put on the pig. The foundation is rotten and the everything that comes out of it needs to be treated as suspect.
Clearly in this case the “controls” they have do not work and frankly your comment is a perfect example of how these companies operate - move fast, break things, and accuse anyone trying to reign it in as unknowledgeable or without nuance.
Forgive me, but we’ve seen this play out before time and time again throughout history.
Neither soda or McDonald’s are advertising themselves as healthy options suitable as general replacements for a balanced diet. Whereas the AI companies have a plainly stated goal of being able to accomplish virtually any task a human could.
And before you say it: there’s a massive difference between the legalese they put in fine print in their user agreements and mutter under their breath in sales presentations versus what is being shouted from the rooftops every single second of every single day by their collective marketing departments.
