Autonomous murderbot tries to drive through Chinese New Year street party, gets whole entire ass handed to it. straphanger: Now, if I were AI, I might get the feeling that humans don't think you're particularly welcome on those streets. Just sayin'... That they took it out with fireworks is just... *chef kiss*. Don't fuck with Chinatown!
At one point, calculators were worse than humans at the same job. All it took was time and money and now I think everyone can agree we’re better off not having to wait 20+ minutes to get a quadratic equation solved.
Of course they’re not using AI to solve quadratics, it’s part of the calculator analogy. It’s a whole lot quicker to solve a quadratic formula in a calculator than by hand.
It mostly sucks ungodly amounts of electricity for a mediocre result. And I don’t think the energy consumed for things like driving a two ton vehicle around, when people can take a bus or a train, is worth it.
I am not pro car, I am very much pro AI though

How is solving a quadratic equation, whose analytical solution is known, equal to driving?
@Scubus @chaogomu wait you’re using AI to solve quadratics? You know this a solved problem, right? Like, there’s a formula and everything

No, I use a calculator. My point was that technologies that suck now get better as they age.

It doesn’t take 20 minutes to solve a quadratic equation by hand unless you’re doing it for the first time.
