Agree on it being AI, but what really screamed "AI slop" to me was the emojis. I don't know any tech bloggers who use emojis, but everything that ChatGPT or Gemini generates always has too many emojis.
definitely not easy by yourself, but the whole process (change, then alignment etc) shouldn't take a decent mechanic's shop more than a couple of hours. I've changed tires on my nearly 200k mile car several times now, and it's usually a few days for the tires to be delivered (in america the mechanic will just receive it) and a 2h appt to get the work done. I'm shocked your parent comment mentioned waiting a whole day at the mechanics'.
My friend does this at Costco, and it takes longer purely because of appt mismanagement and backup, the work itself is quick.
> This is potentially easier than reliably shooting guns at people.
I suspect the shooting guns robots will be used against populations the owner considers sub-human, and reliability (accuracy in this context) is not a concern as long as it doesn't turn around 180degs.
You know they are adding AI to drones fighting in Ukraine (on both sides). Mostly to deal with signalling scamming that prevents remote operators from controlling the drone.
Whether you consider your opponent in a war sub-human or not is completely irrelevant to all the engineering problems you have to solve here.
Reliability is absolutely important, because you want that opposing tank or helicopter or soldier etc to no longer be opposing you. (But, of course, reliability is only one aspect, and engineers make lots and lots of trade-offs.)
What context do you have in mind where you need a robot to shoot people?
That interview was unfortunately timed (taped before nomination, broadcast afterward). My takeaway was that they are not trying "just not report the numbers" _yet_.
In the context of the article, instead of your parent comment, this sounds like a weak excuse. Is driving to the Huascarán mountains (and it's ilk) more dangerous than climbing it?
I'm almost sure this is a pretty common Zoom feature, I have run into this at least once a month the last 6-7 years.
IMO, it's less a Zoom problem, and more a setting on the host's side problem. Same category as "guest cannot move a meeting invite unless explicitly allowed to" on google calendar.
We took a Turkish Airlines flight in September (IST-SFO), and the seats were teeming with bedbugs (as in, multiple passengers were able to visually point them out when we were still boarding).
Some passengers were able to switch to other seats, while multiple others broke out in hives (including my wife). The cabin staff were polite and understanding, but once we landed, escalating to Turkish airlines was pretty useless. We've filed a case with the DOT which got the airline to respond.
Glad the media is covering this, we heard from multiple folks that this has been a problem.
Wow, did you consider requesting to deplane? I would at least seriously consider it, considering the notoriously difficult to get rid of nature of bed bugs.
Also, my search brought up this final response from Turkish, which infuriated me enough that I wanted to share:
"Thank you for your feedback.
