Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

[A112358]

I literally have in front of me a postage-stamp sized microcontroller that has built-in wireless, bluetooth, dual 240Mhz CPUs, and 8MB of RAM and data storage space each. Pic related.

Did you imagine then what we have now?

The evolution of technology marches onwards.

Can you imagine what quantum computers look like and what they can do?

Obviously I didn't, as noted in my tagline...

We know...

Not if you use a VPN in front of it.

People who think VPNs protect them from anything, oh this is a deep rabbit hole.

i didn't say VPNs are the total solution to privacy.

I loved my Commodore 64!

AI is crap designed so companies don’t have to pay human workers. If allowed to continue it will destroy the world as we know it

I'm old enough to have used mainframes as big as a two-car garage, and punch cards.

Computer operator back in the day.
Jim Walter Corporation raised my family.
IBM 355, and later the 360,
Then Amdahl 370 systems,
Our mavericks couldn’t even haul the continuous form printer.

Disk drives the size of washing machines,
We had ten,
Tape drives the size of refrigerators, we had eight.

My all time favorite, the modems.
The size of a Yamaha audio video amplifier/tuner.
800 baud.
The handshake often took twenty seconds.

Halon fire suppression systems.
Oh my.

What does that have to do with the Commodore 64?

I do !
Hydrogen was a great idea and would have been a major
contributor/supplement to oil and EV tech.
Big oil killed that idea. It’s easy when you control the media.
Power is often abused.

Did you know the only exhaust from the hydrogen engines was H2O !

Um that’s water for the twat waffles.

I think hydrogens 'volumetric energy density is the reason it's not widespread. Many oil companies were involved in development of hydrogen power and I'm unaware of any actions from petro chemical companies trying to suppress it's use.

I try not to use technology that makes me jump through hoops to make it safe. Not an easy task and at Times we have to compromise. We all have to find our comfort zone.

Wait a sec, @Cherokee , I doubt that. Hydrogen is a clusterfark as a fuel. Making it, storing it, transporting and distributing, and finally using it - all that is far too fiddly.

At least car fires would be over fairly quick.



As a twat waffle I heartily endorse that last statement.

Lifting gas is not fuel. What if I told you gasoline is highly inflammable as well?

I expect all these sneers to turn to sheer horror and shock by 2030.

Look, you can chest thump, howl at the moon, claim that you are superior to any machine, or attack the messenger. The future doesn't care. It's gonna happen and you can adapt or be left behind.

AI is a steamroller. You are an ant. Go ahead, yell and shake your fist at the steamroller, Mr. Ant. Good luck with that.

Ai and robotics mixed, is doing things in construction i never would have imagined. what they are working on for the future is even more wild.
change is the only constant

So very true .

Hey, remember DOS and GIGO?

Except it really is not garbage in and AI is putting garbage out. More like correct data coming in and AI makes the best guess that may or may not be what the intended outcome is.

It is hard and next to impossible to codify for AI what real human “experience” is that is left out of a lot of processes and documentation. It is the myriads of little things that are written in margins and held in human memory that make getting an item from the drawing to a producible product that is deliverable. AI cannot do that at this present stage.

AI has trouble distinguishing fact from fiction, truth from opinion.
