Hi, EVNow -- > how much can RT make when competing with human drivers ? Tough to say. It turns out that most drivers do a lot more than just drive -- cleaning, fueling, some limited roadside tech (e.g. flat tire), entrance/exit assistance, security guard, etc. I think it a mistake to just zero...

Hi, all -- From the previously referenced autoura site, Baidu/Apollo is running in a bunch of cities: https://rollout.autoura.com/platforms/apollo , with 840k rides in Q4 2023. Back of the envelope: 840k / 90 days / 10 trips per day = ~1000 taxis fleetwide. Yours, RP

Hi, Ben -- I agree that the resulting code would be no more intelligible than a neural network. We've wandered way off topic, and someone's (yours?) remark that, "These are all Von Neumann machines" more or less sums up what I was getting at. Yours, RP

Hi, Enemji -- Not a hill I'm willing to die on, because I honestly don't know what I'm talking about, but I believe it should be possible to "decompile" a neural net into, say, C code, thereby showing that they're functionally equivalent. Yours, Bowd

Hi, all -- I see others have experience in the field, I wasn't trying to pull rank by mentioning mine. Yours, RP

Hi, Enemji -- > that is no better or even is just a HUGE IF ELSEIF WHEN DO LOOP module, Again, I have a background in CS but only a layman's knowledge of AI. One of the main, I don't know, insights isn't the right word, I doubt I'll be able to explain this, of CS is that if you can turn one...

Hi, Ben -- > AGI will require a neural net that can take its own output into account. A lot of people think that recursion is the secret of consciousness. I'm not sure a neural net that can take its own input into account really counts as neural net anymore. I've programmed computers but claim...

Hi, Ben -- > it assumes that the FSD network can't be good enough to extrapolate solutions to not-yet-seen edge cases from knowledge of other edge cases. [,,,,]situations that they haven't yet seen or been trained for directly, but could still solve on the fly via "reasoning" from the rest of...

Hi, 2daMoon -- My question was, " Could you provide a few examples of things they've been wrong about?" because I thought you might have some hanging around. It's OK if you'd rather I do my own research, but my interest in the issue is too low for that to happen. As the mods have noted, this...

Hi, 2daMoon -- That sounds like a lot of work, which I'm trying to avoid here. Yours, RP

Hi, 2daMoon -- > Here's a broader set of responses to a "Reuters' hit pieces on Tesla" search I imagine that search would be just as useful as searching for "Musk lies again", you're just going to turn up a bunch of things that agree with the search query. I don't feel like spending a lot...

Hi, Usain -- Agreed that it's the rate not the starting point that's important now. Note, though, that Musk could be wrong about the rate of 12.4 without lying, in the same way he's been wrong about other things without lying. Yours, RP

Hi, 2daMoon -- > a reputation for being more consistently wrong in its reporting on Tesla, historically. I asssume we're discussing Reuters. Could you provide a few examples of things they've been wrong about? Yours, RP Moderator: Actually, No. We are NOT discussing Reuters. That series of...

Hi, TheKiwi -- Spending money on a proxy contest is completely standard, but this is not a proxy contest, so I'm also scratching my head to find a direct precedent. Yours, RP

Hi, Unk -- I found that pretty dense and in some places hard to follow -- not a criticism of you, of course! The fault is no doubt mine. I'm going to try to an, "In my own words" thing to see if I'm getting the gist. > That shift is the one that affected Tesla more than any other, primarily...
