  • “These failures are the most insidious. But there are also continuous failures of simple programming inadequacy, such as only starting lane changes toward a freeway exit a scant tenth of a mile before the exit itself, that handicaps the system and casts doubt on the overall quality of its base programming,“ https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/09/tesla-full-self-driving-requires-human-intervention-every-13-miles/


  • Yann LeCun, the so-called “Godfather of AI” who currently serves as Meta’s AI czar, accused the billionaire of lying “again and again” about when fully-automated Teslas would arrive. “Elon: ‘I’ve kept lying to you again and again about Tesla’s ‘Full Self Driving’ capabilities for the last 8 years,” the AI aficionado wrote, “‘but you should…


  • So, what explains the shocking failures of basic reasoning that Simple Bench exposes? Let’s return to the vegetables — or fruits and vegetables, if you wish. Here’s my take on the first of my two questions: Why do models fail the question you saw above? … The clue is in their name: language models. They model language.…


  • It’d be remiss to fault robotaxi companies for having these kinds of safety fallbacks. The problem is that they’re not upfront about the fact that humans are still in the loop, creating a facade of full autonomy that doesn’t actually exist. https://futurism.com/the-byte/self-driving-dirty-secret

  • With new headlines cropping up all the time showing how poorly a job Tesla Autopilot actually does at piloting cars, it’s not surprising that the people tasked with building that system’s knowledge out are underpaid and heavily surveilled — or that when they tried to fight back against what they felt was unfair treatment, they were summarily cast aside. https://futurism.com/the-byte/tesla-autopilot-workers-treatment


  • Even more… it doesn’t even work in a tunnel that Telsa has full environmental control of. Forget open roads. Tesla still hasn’t figured out how to get its vehicles to autonomously drive through Elon Musk’s tunneling venture The Boring Company’s single-lane tunnel. https://futurism.com/the-byte/tesla-full-self-driving-doesnt-work-tunnel So explain to me why this fucker is allowed to put this…


  • Martin Bernklau is a German journalist who reported for decades on criminal trials. He looked himself up on Bing, which suggests you use its Copilot AI. Copilot then listed a string of crimes Bernklau had supposedly committed — saying that he was an abusive undertaker exploiting widows, a child abuser, an escaped criminal mental patient.


  • “The web is becoming increasingly a dangerous place to look for your data,” Rice University graduate student Sina Alemohammad, who coauthored a 2023 paper that coined the term “MAD” — short for “Model Autophagy Disorder” — to describe the effects of AI self-consumption, told the NYT. https://futurism.com/ai-slowly-killing-itself
