Wow, I didn’t even know NVIDIA CEO was a government position.

RTFA: “Read The Fucking Article”

based on RTFM: “Read The Fucking Manual” coined by tech support people at least 50 years ago.

If I had to legally defend the foundation my main argument would be that any proposed thousand-year policy is clearly satire, and that this was actually a test to weed out those who didn’t get it.

as in RTFA

Dunno - it’s assigned a destination, which could be done by a human, then it seems to navigate there autonomously.

According to OP it was waltzing.

Yes, the real issue is that it disobeyed a Don’t Walk signal, which is clearly a defect for a robot allowed on public streets. People saying it “fled the scene” are just making noise.

The robot tried to cross the street against a Don’t Walk signal it should have obeyed. That behavior is a defect, which the manufacturer should be responsible for. Whether the robot “fled the scene” is only an issue if the robot is smart enough to recognize that it caused a problem, and left to avoid the consequences - which I srsly doubt. I mean if the robot were a live dog we wouldn’t expect it to understand the situation enough to flee, we would assume it just ran off because it’s a dog.

TFA says this hack was mostly phishing and old-fashioned social engineering. I can’t tell whether the author thinks Homebrew is “an AI tool” (it’s not) or an unnamed AI tool was involved. It’s not even made clear that the devs were actually vibe coding, let alone how it contributed to the success of the hack. Regardless of how you feel about AI, let’s not abandon critical thinking.

Nobody got fired because no angry parents found out about this and showed up with lawyers. The people who get fired are the ones who actions turn into lawsuits against the school district.

Reminds me of getting a game CD in a box of cereal - might have been Pajama Sam.

My wife and I could have dinner at a Thai place for that 15 years ago,.

Jeez, you can get a 10-yo desktop computer for less than that at Re-PC.

To me this is like reading that locks are now obsolete because somebody invented a way to unlock them just by touching them. On one hand it makes me angry that somebody would invent such a thing. On the other hand it means locks have always had this hidden weakness which would eventually be figured out, and now here we are. So what do we do next? I mean, in terms of things that might actually help?

To be fair, it did pay off in boats and vacation homes for a whole generation of salesmen.

It’s impressive because it’s totally passive - radar can locate incoming drones, but also lets the drones locate the radar antenna. This new technique finds the drones without emitting any kind of telltale signal. So the drones don’t know they’ve been spotted, or even that anyone’s looking.

Which billionaires aren’t flooding money into politics to influence elections? They were doing it long before all the AI drama.

Can’t touch this!

Should be attributed to idiot managers grasping at the latest straw-du-jour to save money. Might as well blame bad carpentry on hammers.
