Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Video shared on social media shows a Waymo driving through a red light and into an active police standoff in downtown Los Angeles.

In the video, officers can be heard yelling at the Waymo to clear the area. Instead it did the exact opposite, slowing to a crawl and trying to sidle up to the curb, right near where the suspect was being held at gunpoint.

“Go to your left! Go to your left!” an officer can be heard yelling as the driverless cab throws its right-side blinker on. Of course, the Waymo doesn’t respond to outside verbal commands.

a company spokesperson told NBC that... "When we encounter unusual events like this one, we learn from them as we continue improving road safety and operating in dynamic cities.”

I hope their takeaway isn't to let thugs barking orders at cars dictate what the car should do.

I appreciate that the car understood not to follow the demands of some uniformed gangster standing in the road with a gun pointed at some dude on the ground.

I wish people would be as anarchist as this car. Fuck the police

What? No! What if it had a person?

I hate cops too, but having a driverless vehicle driving into a shooting is bad

Well, hopefully the company's actions will be to open the doors, tell the passengers to get out, and then run over the police, open the doors, and tell the poor guy on the street:

get in if you want to live!

Then speed away

Cool outcome, but massively difficult for a car that can't even wait a red light

Needs more piggy-detection training
