Very good question! The problem assembly programmers had with compilers wasn't that they wouldn't understand the generated machine code - it was that the generated code was often bad (as in unoptimized and bloated) and…
You vastly underestimate the capabilities of a bored kid. The barrier of entry for setting up OpenClaw is not reasonably lower than reading a tutorial and running malware builders. But yes, I agree that scale is an…
Sure, but that's a problem of regulating and controlling the production and rollout of superpowered exoskeletons, not an issue of of terrorising limbless villains. Because, guess what, the same dangerous tech can be…
And therein lies the problem. I listed all the things that differentiate cars from current AI models: cars require a license to drive, they are subject to heavy regulation (insurance, registration, inspections, etc.),…
I'm sick of this strawman nonsense. You are attacking a false analogy. Discuss the actual meat of the argument instead.
The analogy would be more fitting if you had said "cars don't kill people if every drivers has proven skills, never drives impaired, keeps the speed in line with weather and road conditions and stays on actual…
When put to the test in real-world environment, the capabilities don't look as impressive as benchmarks and synthetic tests might indicate. So doubts about actual spatial reasoning capabilities remain.

I think we're talking about fundamentally different perspectives here. I'm not talking about what the LLM does internally. If a metaphor helps, here's one to help you understand what I was trying to get at: Imagine an…
He has a point, though. The LLMs (or any AI for that matter) can't do anything. They can't. It's a function call that ingests symbols and spits out symbols and that's it. 100% of its actual capabilities are tied to…

I don't know - real-world tests leave me unconvinced: https://youtu.be/ENWVpqtOdRI?t=867
I've worked in wholesale logistics (backend for inventory management) for many years way back when and let me tell you, cost of ink vs cost of a chip the least of the problems. Barcodes (and QR codes as used here) have…
100% agreed, but if you truly want to go down that route, you'll quickly find that basically NOTHING has externalities priced in. If you truly were to do that (which I'm personally not opposed to), prices of pretty much…
Passive ones can be less than a cent per unit.
The chips are sub-cents per unit in terms of cost and weigh milligrams. RFID chips come in many flavours the ones most used are passive, i.e. basically just a bunch of wires printed on a tiny piece of carrier material.…
I hear this a lot without actual calculations backing up the claim. First of all, orbital data centre doesn't mean a monolithic 500MW monstrosity orbiting Earth. That's not what the companies actually investigating the…
The physics aren't the problem, though. You CAN cool the processors provided you have large enough radiators, a really good system for the coolant flow, and hardware that's fine operating continuously at around 100C or…
That's nit-picking. It's one of the first steps towards this goal. Why would any sane engineer put a complete orbital data centre prototype into space without having any data on how most crucial piece of equipment would…
Debatable. It's not economically viable under current economics. There's an engineering problem that's solvable in the short term, e.g. the cooling issue. The economics of mass production of satellites has been…
True. Physical capabilities can be added with ease. The actual problem isn't the actuators anymore, though. Very useful for a remote controlled puppet ala "Surrogates" (the film), still not quite there yet when it comes…
The thing has no real arms, hands or carry capacity, so what would be the point? Running up the stairs is the easy part after all. The difficult part in such scenario is lack of orientation due to smoke, obstacles like…

Absolutely. I was impressed by ASIMO and Atlas. Running fast, though, doesn't seem all that impressive by comparison, but yeah YMMV.
