"we set out to make the torment nexus, but all we accomplished is making the stupid faucet and now we can't turn it off and it's flooding the house." - Every AI company, probably.
I thought FSD only works if there are kids around for the car to aim at.
I set my car to YOLO more by pointing the vehicle roughly the direction I wish to travel and then dropping a brick on the accelerator.
It doesn't seem like a viable thing. Is there really enough demand for a supersonic commercial flight with the seating capacity of a regional? The company claims that major airlines have already committed to purchasing the yet-to-exist plane, which begs the question "how committed?" I would highly doubt that without a demonstrator specifically for the passenger version, that any airline would put down any amount of money. I have been known to underestimate the foolishness of leadership, so maybe there is an inked deal as opposed to a handshake for x number of planes, though only at y price.
In concept, supersonic aircraft are cool. Going fast is really neat. I think those are the feelings Boom is banking on, which is sad because I feel that their airliner is vaporware.
Has anyone heard of Boom Supersonic? Supposedly the company is making a new SST that is supposed to be able to go supersonic without the sonic boom hitting the ground by flying at or above 50,000 feet. They did a demo flight using a a plane that doesn't use the engine tech that the prospective finished plane will have nor does it resemble the prospective airframe design, so it seems like they went fast to prove fast plane is fast I guess?

Why does Reachy 2 have a tank top? Are they shy about their bot nipples or something?
Thus, what appears as intellectual fast food – the ultra-processed thought-nuggets deep fried in venture capital – often conceals wholesome ingredients sourced from a gourmet pantry of quite some sophistication.

Well has anyone tried prompting it in EBCDIC? How do we know doing so won't immediately create the super intelligence that "or whatever"s us to silicon Valhalla? Asking for a friend.
Oh, is that what the orb was doing? I thought that was just a scam.

Yeah, and a lot of the answers he gave seemed to originate from that point.
One particularly grating thing was saying that the left needs to embrace AI to fight facism because "facism embraced AI and they are doing well!" which is just so grating a conclusion to jump to.
Got to a point in this where Casey Newton enumerated his "only two sides" of AI and well, fuck Casey Newton.
