    Duh? Haven’t we just been training them this whole time? I always figured we were just generating training data for them to sell.

  2. I mean, good! If they’re going to have self-driving cars on the roads, they’d better be 100% at identifying objects they will encounter there

  3. Fake news. If it was so good at identifying red lights and bicycles Teslas wouldnt be crashing.

  4. They were never there to stop bots.

    They’re there to stop humans who are using vpn’s and other ways of blocking their data from google

  5. They completely overrun my small business online forms. Don’t know how to stop them. A dozen trash form fills every day.

    So we’ve successfully trained them with that aggravation. What new one will they have us training them on?

  7. Well we’ve had self driving cars for years now so it’s about damn time a computer can finally recognize a traffic light

  8. The one for the Quickbooks Online sign in was changed a few months back and now it’s ridiculous trying to log on. I’ll often spend 4-5 minutes just clicking on those damned Captch pictures.

  9. If I had been born wealthy with my level of IQ I probably could have taken over the world. Being born to an average income family has held me back. I’m just saying I’ve done so much with nothing. With barely any resources. Imagine if I had been wealthy combined with this level of ingenuity. I would have done almost the same thing, except I wouldn’t have talked about it publically. I would have built up a drone army in secret. All it takes to control the world is to buy up all the computing resources. You take control of energy and you take control of computing. If you control computing and energy, you become wealthy from those two things, so you could use wealth and coercion to buy up energy from NATO countries. Ruling the world may be an overrated thing though. Would someone want that much responsibility. I don’t know that I would conquer everything if I could. Division of power into territories gives authority to deal with the needs of the people living within them. I wouldn’t want to have to take responsibility for the needs of everyone in the world.

    meanwhile Steam’s verification is so intense now that I can’t recover my account because I can’t prove I’m human
