You are right about American freeways. City roads tend to have a lower speed limit that is probably appropriate and it would be unsafe to go faster.
Rural America will have little roads with deer and intersections at blind curves and say 55 mph seems about right.
Note that Debian has had a purist approach to intellectual property, and the common sense practical view that 'obviously' it has to be ok or else the entire industry would be hopelessly screwed by now, I could see them trying to stick to their guns.
There are still court cases flying about and so far the focus has been by rights holders versus the AI platforms. Those have thus far been pretty favorable for the platform holders, but there's a catch.
The platform defense has been that "sure, we trained on copyrighted works and sure, the model can produce copyright violations, but when a violation happens, it is the fault of the operator and they should be on the hook for violations". So it remains possible that someone comes after an AI user for making a knockoff, and given the context, the AI user might be making a violation without even knowing they are.
So accepting a contribution under GPL might get them in hot water because some company decides that the submission looks too much like their proprietary code, and they can draw a line from their codebase being open to AI ingest to it landing in a codebase.
Sadly, this is a bigger risk for open source than closed source, as the closed source is harder to detect such things.
Not him, but I almost never boot windows, but the other day I had to change a part of a a stupid powerpoint presentation that only could be done using Powerpoint desktop app. Wine has not done so well with it, Libreoffice wouldn't do the thing right, and browser based office can't touch 'master slide' content.
While true, this same infrastructure is used by corporations that either feel they need the privacy of on premise model, or decided paying by the token is too expensive/unpredictable.
NVidia would love every business to decide they need to have dedicated private gpu heavy infrastructure.
At least kpop demon hunters is everywhere, go to a grocery store and you'll see big displays of products themed around kpop demon hunters. The song Golden gets played a lot.
Netflix has a strong marketing push.
Well, the guy was leading the police on a chase, so it's probably true for that.
And she was intoxicated and they only investigated after the crash, so probably true there too.
It's not that it won't improve, but it isn't going to cause a runaway "singularity" event.
Like the drama around the models "escaping" and "amazing hacks" have turned out to be something, but not nearly what people were afraid it was going to be.
A lot of the fundamental limitations have remained, and we are figuring out the scenarios where those limitations are fine or there is a way to create a feedback mechanism to try to reroll the AI until it passes. Lots of success there, but the fundamental disconnects are still there, just not important for the task at hand or can be worked around.
It seems to be just that consumer tech doesn't evolve like it used to. It was insane how things went from the late nineteenth century to modern era, but lots of signs of slowing down.
While computer tech is going, it's now only doing so by scaling behind home electrical capacity. The high end server chips are just cranking the wattage because they can't improve within a more reasonable power envelope anymore. A 2026 laptop that replaced a 2020 laptop that was broken wasn't really significantly faster. In 2000, a new PC would have been more than 10 fold faster than a 6 year old PC.
Tech progresses, (e.g. just got a phone with a solid state battery that's crazy better than battery behavior before), it's just some of the biggest consumer electronics things are hitting physics and things we are used to advancing are just flattening out.
If nothing else to feed ego. What's the point if you don't have billions of people to be wealthier than?
Based on what I saw and what I read, it only took over of it detected you trying to swerve and an obstacle that would hit and change it into an aggressive lane change. The steering into was at least roughly the maneuver desired, but it just corrected it.
Though it may sound scary, it absolutely worked in my scenario. I've never ever seen it activate accidentally.
I can't even be sure whether it activated or not that time, I wasn't driving. It just seemed like a scenario and maneuver unlikely for a barely driving 15 year old to pull off so perfectly. I'm not so sure even I would have avoided an accident, but even if I did, I doubt I would have hit the maneuver so spot on.
It's pretty much codified. 9 mph over means pretty much nothing. If you are a little over that? Everyone knows the courts will probably knock it down to 9 over just by asking.
As another comment points out, it's works for being selectively enforced. Almost every car on the road can be pulled over. Even if you are going the speed limit, you might get pulled over for impeding traffic.
