I'm blown away by the knowledge of folks on this thread, but then again, I'm not a computer science or engineer (but I did charge at a Holiday Inn Express last night).... Anyway, it brings to life the complexity of the subject.
As a non-programmer, it helps me realize that I was assuming complexity in all the wrong areas. I've studied some aspects of neuroscience, and I've learned that people assume the brain is too much like a computer circuit with hard wiring, and they think its possible to model neural systems digitally, but they don't really understand the how the nature of brain development, neuronal pruning, strategic cell death, and the fact that the brain sits in an ever-changing broth of fluid that changes and breathes and that this makes the whole endeavor much different. At best it seems, perhaps we can eventually impersonate the life like brain with a computer, but it's gonna be awkward.
So I digress into my dilemma.... as I'm still befuddled by exactly why it's so hard to see and impersonate the structure of the silicon architecture in ME, if I am using the correct terminology.
I can't wrap my buttershrimpy brain around why it can't be effectively replicated. I mean, eventually Jesse could replicate Walt's meth amphetamine in breaking bad. Why can't Tesla make good crystal?
The whiskey analogy makes sense to me, but it introduces the idea of their being random complexities and variations that even the whiskey brew masters are unaware of.... they just have such a sense of how to combine ingredients for the most part and how to combine variations in the various parts of the process so that it's impossible to replicate because of climate and other physical limitations in space... Whereas the mobileye chip seems to me to be more like an iPhone chip that could be produced over and over and over again.
Am I incorrect in assuming that the issue isn't just the recipe, but it's that AP2 is trying to do more in the long run? Kind of like what
@lunitiks was saying?
By the way.... can we please please please get some more vivid and disturbing analogies from him?
I mean that dude busted out a picture of a birth defected cycloptic cat for god's sake. I know Tesla posted a job opening for a visual graphic artist to represent the world on autopilot.... can we please convince
@lunitiks to accept that job? Screw AP1 truck and motorcycle representations, I want to see what he can do with roadkill representations on autopilot!
