They might not need them as often but if they produce them even less than it's still an issue. Insurance costs on Teslas is high and the rental company Tesla apocalypse happened because of the difficulties maintaining fleet repairs.

You clipped a lot of incredibly relevant context to make his point sound far more inflammatory than it is.

> Some view the future of mathematics as a dystopian arcade of button-pressing, staring at a screen waiting for AI to do the thinking for us, with the main human involvement limited to asking the initial question and offering sporadic words of encouragement. Each new proof is then thrown into a repository, to only ever be read by other AIs, and the human presses the next button.

Is that your view of all AI native mathematicians? It's not mine, but it seems apparent to me that many people think that this is our future, or even should be our future. Same with building software (which is my field, unlike math).

I would find that personally, to use his word, grim.

learning more languages is good actually. I still mostly write imperative code but having spent some time learning functional languages was very good for my brain.

These are two crappy choices, and it's not a coincidence that a resource strapped filmmaker having to engage with many skilled artisans to sharpen their "singular vision" resulted in much better films (the original trilogy) than either of those two.

Jon Stewart to his credit has done a tremendous amount of work on this.

"Unsupervised" is a joke, they literally have chase cars in case of an incident.

the 737-max was grounded for almost two years, Boeing paid a $2bn+ fine and the CEO was fired.

To be fair, actual self-driving car business units have suffered similar fates. Uber's autonomy team was shut down after they killed Elaine Herzberg, and GM's Cruise was functionally destroyed after they contributed to a major bodily injury crash and tried to cover up their errors.

It's the level 2 consumer car companies that have mostly skated under a liability shield. Tesla FSD has been shit for a long time and paid very little price for it.

No, it's an impractical idea that nobody wanted.

Racing the Beam is another one, about the design of the frame buffer-less Atari 2600.

That is definitely not true. There are literally thousands if not tens of thousands of well known domains that do this. .co.uk is a very common example.

For someone who doesn't like doing cryptocurrency, advertising, gig economy bullshit or a host of other things, this is not a new problem. But yeah, it sucks.

Same. It's really hard to fight the tic now where I just automatically close the tab when I get to the second or third thing, and it's only the first paragraph.

Please, write your own prose.
