Artificial intelligence still has some way to go

i try to work in a dick and still have it recognize the drawing

whoops, it turns out there was more to it than the drawing thing. here are the others:

the drum machine one is fun, although less obviously AI

There was a documentary on the current state of AI that tied in with the start of UK Channel 4's Humans. So about a month ago.
Not sure how accurate or exactly up to date a tv show tie in would be. But it was interesting.

I was just about to come here and post about that. Thought the documentary was fascinating. Really brilliant and actually scarier than the show itself.

let's hope that AI still has some way to go on that one, fuck

can't wait for those sweet bluetooth le bertillon instruments to hit kickstarter

In Silicon Valley, hacker George Hotz gained fast fame after being the first to unlock an iPhone. He recently capitalized on his reputation and turned to hacking cars, raising millions in funding to build a third-party device that would give average, everyday cars autonomous functionality. He called this device the Comma One and the company making it Comma.ai.

But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) sent Hotz a letter in October asking him to detail how the product works, as well as how the safety features built into the Comma One work, or face an ever-growing fine. Hotz abruptly canceled the product, tweeting, “The comma one is cancelled. comma.ai will be exploring other products and markets.” Then on Tuesday night this week, Hotz started tweeting hints that the Comma One could be revived, at least partially. He also posted a video of what appeared to be a Comma One-type device driving on the 280 highway.

On Wednesday morning, Hotz held a press conference in a San Francisco home to announce that instead of reviving the Comma One as a market-ready device, Comma.ai would be giving away its self-driving software—called Open Pilot—as well as plans for compatible hardware, called Comma Neo—for free, according to The Verge.

...The instructions clarify that Open Pilot currently only supports the Acura ILX 2016 with AcuraWatch Plus and the Honda Civic 2016 Touring Edition, although apparently a little tinkering will expand support to other Hondas and Acuras. With the Acura ILX, the software relies on cruise control for gas, so the system can only be enabled above 25mph. With the Honda Civic, Open Pilot disables steering below 18mph, “due to limitations in steering firmware.” Still, Comma.ai asserts that “adding other manufacturers besides Honda/Acura is doable but will be more of an undertaking."

countdown to first open pilot fatality begins... NOW

what's the worst that could happen

a self-driving car that can't drop below 25mph or it'll revert to manual control sounds like a terrible pitch for speed 3

steering firmware

'patch notes 0.57: problem with car only capable turning left resolved. now only turns right. working to resolve the issue but please plan your journeys accordingly in the meantime'

Should be illegal to turn left anyway

uh the UK hello

modulo what side of the street you drive on, I'm not a total monster

Love the girl in the background of that tweet above who takes the perfectly-timed "That ain't none of my business" drink of tea.

🐸☕️

good catch. I wonder if she told them how that was going to go down beforehand

That dude's reaction after Miyazaki drops that bomb on him is 100% priceless.

Also, that Christmas song is now my new favorite thing.

she's likely from Miyazaki's team? but yeah, his response is so punishing and they look like their hero just told them to fuck off, which he did.
I hear what he's saying though! they're telling him "we're trying to build you in a lab" and his response is "fuck off", which seems about right.

miyazaki thing is amazing wow

also huge lols at the AI zombies grotesquely dragging their limbs and moving around in their demo

ouch

I was like, "O u made a DEAD SPACE cutscene 8 years too late, gj!"

lol otm

hahahahaha

holy shit the pan around the room after he tells them that

The documentary then cut to Miyazaki back at his drawing board as he says, “I feel like the last day of Earth is close.”

that is an earth-shattering moment to be sure

someone put this company out of business already plz

fuck a self-driving car.

drive a self-fucking car.

xp: wrong thread: Objectum-sexuals

somebody find the thread with the guy who likes to fuck tailpipes who posted indignantly on here that he likes to fuck tailpipes and then posted pix of him fucking tailpipes and everybody was like "cool bro, post here more often" and then dude/sock just disappeared... in a cloud of exhaust you might say

bring on the swing riots imo

I just read that. Thought it was pretty good, though not sure why the author felt compelled to get in a dig at John Searle at the end.

I attended a lecture by Y4nn L3Cun a few years ago where he hyped his work on “woman with sunglasses” for 10+ minutes without showing any images. When he finally showed an image the entire audience started laughing and he meekly admitted “we’re still working out the kinks …”

Times article is pretty good. I appreciate the credit given to Jeff Dean since he usually receives very little since he isn’t an academic. But he’s done more for machine learning than most.
