"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.

Ok, I fucking hate Elon and I will never buy any products that he makes, however Tesla's full self driving appears to be the best in the market right now by a decent margin.
I like Tesla BTW and I'm squarely in their target demographic, but I hate that nazi more.
Who else has good self driving that is close to what Tesla has right now? (Asking in case there is something good I should be looking at buying)
If this is "the best in the market", then none of these things should be on the market.
Unfinished prototype technology should not be allowed to control multi-ton machines on public roads.
It's the best in the US market, maybe, because Tesla and the US government keep out the competition.
Are you unaware of the existence of Waymo? You do realize that Tesla robotaxis have a human handler that follows every car because they aren’t actually self driving right?
I read that Waymo is no better at best. Weymo thinks it’s cheaper not to park their cars and have them drive and zip around residential areas all hours of the day and night instead. They are also prone to accidents as well.
for what its worth, waymos are endemic in my area, and ive certainly seen them misbehave a little and get into janky situations, but i am generally impressed with them overall. i see them doing things good defensive drivers do, for example, slowing down in ambiguous/tricky situations, etc. they seem to be generally working. however i also read somewhere that they have sweatshops full of people tending to them...
Sorry, my statement was in regards to cars i can own myself, not "robo taxies".
