And like, even if you only had depth... the cat would be a slight anomaly relatively to the points around it which would be relatively easy to pick out too

He's also seemingly ignoring that you don't even need to run any segmentation on the point cloud to detect objects? The cat would definitely show as a separate object from the ground even with some relatively simple clustering.

Lol. I bet Yun-Ta thinks so. Anyway. Pretty much demonstrates that the remaining personnel on Tesla's Autopilot Team went to the Elon Musk School of Robotics - which only contains incompetence and lies. If we actually had auto safety regulators anywhere globally, hard questions might be asked.
A screenshot of a social media post by [Yun-Ta Tsai](https://www.google.com/search?q=yun-ta+tsai&kgmid=/g/11fyz4n1pz) (@yunta_tsai) on X (formerly Twitter) dated October 7, 2026. The text reads: "After many years in top machine learning organizations, with friends at frontier labs, I still consider Tesla's ML engineers the best—the only ones I would trust with my life. Unsatisfied with theory, they scrutinize every detail until it is proven in reality. They demand real-world miles, not charts. This culture exists nowhere else. This week marks another anniversary at Tesla. I am honored to work with you all for many years to come." The post shows 270.7K views.

I saw someone breathlessly talking about this as "AI produced proofs that will take humanity years to understand" ... which just told me that they really don't know what scholarship is, in math or otherwise.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the autonomous vehicle developers who most vocally argued that society must accept a certain number of deaths to enjoy the technology's safety benefits (Tesla & Uber ATG) were the only ones who killed people and never actually delivered on their promises

It's pretty clear to anyone but deep stans that SS only exists to launch Starlink, and the fact that SPX seems to actually be real about pretty much withdrawing from the normal launch market by retiring Falcon supports that

Aside from Shotwell being a lunatic liar, the cost of Starliner and Crew Dragon are pretty much the same (6 ish billion each) once you account for the fact that cargo dragon need to be counted under the crew variant cost (since Starliner didn't have the benefit of an existing platform to work from)

More than a trillion dollars and four years into the AI bubble, it's not unreasonable to expect that we'd have solid data showing that AI was this major economic agent of change. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-how-...
We’re over a trillion dollars into the AI bubble with hyperscalers expecting to spend a trillion dollars more next year, and as you’ve read today, it’s really unclear as to what it is we’ve done other than pumping tech stocks and a chunk of GDP growth that is almost certain to disappear once the money runs out.

For the most part, every economic analysis I’ve found has tried to put lipstick on a pig. Putting aside GPU sales and data center construction, AI software sales and AI model efficacy do not appear to have had much of a meaningful impact on GDP, and what effect sales have had appears to have been vastly-inflated by outdated methodologies that have failed to keep pace with a tech industry that has, for the most part, not really innovated much in the last 15 years.

LLMs are too inconsistent, too unpredictable and too expensive to replace human beings, and none of the data I’ve seen seems to suggest that they’re doing much to enhance human productivity outside of accelerating the amount of questionably-stable and secure software shipped on a daily basis.

Guess that could happen indeed, but it will probably still have more usage friction than just loading chatgpt now lol. Unrelated to image generation but using a bot as a search engine is one of the "normie use-case" that probably is the most vulnerable to OpenAI/Antro dying

I don't even think coding assistants are safe because even if people think they are useful (freaks...) they are still mostly coming from the same hyperscallers than won't survive the bubble popping!

"neural nets" in general if we mean ML are not going to disappear of course and probably also not transformers since they are used in other things than LLM. Specifically what can be "undone" is LLM-based public facing systems, because in most cases they require a massive infra to run
110
AntiDr @antidr.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Yes but the difference in my opinion is that locally run models are one step too far for most "normies" so once chatgpt/claude/etc are not accessible anymore you are going to see, for example, the end of the epidemic of ai generated small business posters & such

AntiDr @antidr.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
So IMO functionally for normies it's actually possible to "unring the bell" to a significant degree

AntiDr @antidr.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Here to stay doesn't mean usage on mass scale in the general public will stay though. Once the main apps are dead because OA and Anthro ran out of money you start to get too much friction for most people
