What's wild to me is that today there are more companies with more than 100 unsupervised self driving cars out on the road that DID NOT exist (as a company) back when Tesla CEO told investors they're a year away from FSD.

True story, for example take Tesla's promise of self driving which was delivered back in 2015.

Maybe if you think really hard you’ll come up with other (more useful) examples.

“ one way that humans have historically accessed the ineffable” that’s my question, what about the other ways that have been automated away. Is there something special about mathematics or is it the authors first encounter with obsolescence?

Apologies is this is a simpleton question, but how does this differ than most of the mechanical work previously done by hand, but is now automated?

"the slowness is a feature" - I grew up in eastern block of Europe in the 80-90s, this type of sentiment has a real "the party loves you, this is for your own good" vibe.

Every copy is better than the original, true story.

Or in my context:

> Give a person code, and you help them for a day. Teach them to code, and you frustrate them for a lifetime.

While the author’s (banker and a data scientist) experience is clearly valuable, it is unclear whether it alone is sufficient to support the broader claims made. Engineering conclusions typically benefit from data beyond individual observation.

Let me fill you in on a secret: one of the reasons behind US’s dominance is that even though “there are other countries” that could do the hard science, the US is one of the only ones that did. Now the US is at risk of becoming just another one of those “other countries“.

From the article: “ The White House, which was responsible for the assessments, said the information will be housed within NASA to comply with the law, but gave no further details.”

It doesn’t seem like the admin believes the reports are biased and need to be removed. Cool conspiracy though.

Not sure if this is accurate. It seems they’re refusing to take the risk.

They are indeed some of the best floors to roll on.

I can’t believe Justin Trudeau would lowball your friend like that.
