A lot of people who regurgitate "improvement" talking points to discredit any criticism of AI have little to no awareness of the trickery that occurs behind the scenes to provide this mirage. Not only for autonomous vehicles, but the army of human labour used to fine tune generative AI.
Waymo exec says remote assistance operators are in US and also in Philippines. Markey says that's unacceptable, a national & cyber security risk. And it takes jobs away from American drivers to outsource overseas. "Transatlantic backseat driver is downright dangerous in our country" Markey says.

TikTok about my reporting got 21,000 likes in Brasil.
It talked about how I overstayed my visa, but was allowed to stay. A Brazilian federal police officer told me, "We're not ICE, we're Brazilians."
The video was blocked, though, for viewers in US.

A good reason to reject "papers" by Anthropic and other companies "even when the results seem favorable to my side": (...) "these companies are trying to convince people that their constructs are valid, and that will likely benefit them in the future"

i hate how predictable and avoidable this shit is and yet we don't avoid it at all, because some people see the opportunity to run little authoritarian fascist domains on their phones and their eyes roll back.
Hey, remember that time I said that pointing out that AI is giving bad data to ICE is missing the point because ICE doesn't actually care if the data is good? Check out how right I am.
NEW: Records reviewed by WIRED show DHS’s facial recognition app (Mobile Fortify) isn’t designed to actually "verify" identity—despite DHS claims and its agents relying on its matches to support probable cause in the field.
