the key is being able to drive and learn another language and learn to play an instrument and do math and, finally, group pictures of their different pets together. AGI would be able to do all those things as well... even teach itself to do those things given access to the Internet. Until that happens then no AGI.

Of course there are caveats there, but is driving really the yardstick you want to use?

In restricted settings.

Yeah no fam.

>but is driving really the yardstick you want to use?

Yes, because it's an easy one, compared, say, to walking.

But if you insist — let's use that.

Just like self-driving is going well on an empty race track.

>Good luck with that take

Good luck running into a walking robot in the street in your lifetime.

Look, a time traveler from 2019.

It sure must feel like 2018 was a long time ago when that's more than the entirety of your adult life. I get it.

The rest of us aren't that excited to trust our lives to technology that confidently drove into a highway barrier at high speed, killing the driver in a head-on collision mere seven years ago¹.

Because we remember that the makers of that tech said the exact same things you're saying now back then.

And because we remember that the person killed was an engineer who complained about Tesla steering him towards the same barrier previously, and Tesla has, effectively, ignored the complaints.

Tech moves fast. Safety culture doesn't. And the last 1% takes 99% of the time (again, how long ago have you graduated?).

I'm glad that you and your friends are volunteering to be lab rats in the just trust me bro, we'll settle the lawsuit if needs be approach to safety.

I'm not happy about having to share the road with y'all tho.
