another insurmountable hurdle for self-driving cars

perhaps the cost of using a self-driving vehicle could be changed to address the organ donation shortage problem. every 100 rides, you have to donate an organ of your own choice; or every 500th ride you must donate an organ of their choosing

so much of this crap feels like solutions to problems that aren't really that important (or are even non-existent)

Absolutely.

this is not what happens when you put two of these next to each other though is it? the conversation makes enough sense that it seems to me like they either running (very simple) custom code drawing from a list of templated responses, or it's a conversation generated by something other than an alexa.

it's not very hard to make something like that that feels like it's making sense or there is something intelligent happening, without actually doing anything approaching machine learning or AI, e.g. http://thenextweb.com/artificial-intelligence/2016/10/07/argueton-bot-simple-mission-slaying-twitter-blowhards/

I just tuned in to see them start talking about the rules of fight club. it's obvious these are chat scripts, there were 3 or 4 spelling errors (not of the cupertino variety) while I watched. bad puppetry
