Once again, "AI" is revealed to be an army of mechanical turks in a call center.

Cruse "autonomous"vehicles require 1.5 drivers, and manual intervention every two and a half miles:

@jwz “AI” is not about eliminating labour but alienating it for optimal profit extraction

@jwz This is the scariest possible outcome for "not me" driving a car >_>.

I'de rather take my chances with broken AI than a company hiring minimum wake workers to remote control a machine that can easily kill me with me inside.

Seriously... if an imployee ententionally or unintentionally caused an accident, the most they would have is being let go. The outside world thinks they are autonomous! So would the police. And the company wouldn't self-report due to being exposed.

Like. What. the. fuck.
This would qualify for Black Mirror

"its rivals fear Cruise's issues could lead to tougher driverless car rules for all of them"

Why would that be a problem, if their driverless vehicles actually work? Every rule would be irrelevant, because their vehicles already follow these rules on account of already working. It would be like legislating that all Californians are required to breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. It'd be a useless regulation because its requirements are already met and surpassed, on account of [two words omitted to provide you a fun little puzzle]

@jwz@mastodon.social so they were doing supervised machine learning reinforcement on public streets with people in the passenger seat.

@jwz it’s amazing to me that they tried to scale out before having a working product.

But I suppose that’s a feeling I’ve had since my first tech industry job.

@jwz as far as I'm concerned this rock solid proof that driverless cars aren't doing better than human error and that they don't know how to make them do better than human error

Terry Pratchett wrote about the Gooseberry Disorganizer, operated by an imp inside.

Aren't "autonomous vehicles" just same?

Technology calling itself magic, when it's just a machine using trapped imps as underpaid labor?
