I think we will get some “break throughs” in Quantum Computing that Google execs will assure us makes their company worth five trillion dollars.

  • Self driving cars are still not “done”, it seems like most big manufacturers work on them and it’s still hot. I’ve worked on one such project for a huge global company, and I’m about to start working on another, this time open source and for a university. Kinda sucks if this is what becomes my niche then dies off lol

      Yea agreed about self driving cars. It’s taking a lot longer than people anticipated 10-15 years ago but Waymo has been making steady progress and expanding

        I’m honestly still baffled why that even became a thing. just a single look at shitty state of infrastructure and intensity of traffic in basically every capitalist country should rather cause sneering laughter than serious tries.

      The next move is to try to combine AI with self-driving cars. Tesla will probably roll it out first the same way Google, Microsoft, Apple, and others appear to have, by just pushing it out into all of their currently used products with essentially no easy way around it despite it making the user experience objectively worse. And those other companies’ things generally don’t weigh thousands of pounds and move insanely fast.

        self driving cars dont really work without ai… the chat gpt stuff is all llms, which is a specific kind of ai for natural language processing. i wouldnt be surprised if they have some of that in there though. Transformers (which are how llms are made) have turned out to be a pretty powerful architecture for neural networks
