What is the car’s reaction if you just block the camera. Will it still drive?

What do you think is the answer then? Why does it think that?

I just thought it’s interesting that it constantly uses that as a justification but they don’t explain where that justification comes from.

Question: how does Fable _know_ it’s ‘just a simulation’?

Is that specified or does it always just assume it isn’t really being put in charge of things for real?

This reminds me of ‘The Jules Test’. Popularised (hyper locally) by my friend Jules.

When renting a flat, simply head straight to the bathroom and flush the toilet. If the toilet flush is good, the flat is fine.

Ok so have you just accepted that you don’t know what any of the internals of the software do anymore?

Do you go try work it out later, or do you just accept that this isn’t what software development means anymore?

Do you have to send your code anywhere where someone else is going to look at it and judge you based on it?

I thought this was how everyone who can actually code uses AI for anything that’s actually important.

Am I wrong? Are you guys just YOLOing everything these days?

Wanna come do my monthly deep clean?

$8000 up front + $100 a month

Assuming it lasts maybe 4 years that’s $61 a week.

So you could just hire a human cleaner to come once a week and have them do a way better job.

Or if you prefer to compare to the subscription price of $450 a month you can now have your human cleaner come twice a week

Bearing in mind even competent human cleaners often do a mediocre job tidying up I cannot possibly see how this robot could even begin to be useful.

Seems to be mostly full of people hurling racist abuse - this should surprise no one.

It’s funny that at just the phrase ‘Long Wave’ my mind jumps back the “long wave radio Atlantic 252”.

I miss the days of jingles.

Wouldn’t that just help the American labs anyway though? Or do they assume they’ve actually already figured this stuff out and kept it secret?

Yeah agreed. Would be good to know the number of replies at least

Weird that it’s the Neo that is affected why it famously has hardly any ram.

How can there be any moat for AI ever, if you can just steal a model by talking to it?

This is actually a great answer
