Waymo has reduced the rate of severe accidents by 90%, has 2000+ cars on the road driving 2+ million miles every week. They just raised $16 billion for expansion.
Those statistics are so misleading, that is to be expected since they are published by Waymo.

Waymo doesn't do highways and rarely exceeds 45 mph. It's not an apples to apples comparison.

Also, did you know, Waymo is more expensive than Uber or Lyft and typically takes much longer to reach it's destination?

It's still a novelty, time will tell if it can survive beyond that.

I'd like to see the stats normalized for type of driving (highway versus not). Most accidents occur at low speeds, under 40 mph and 75% occur within 10 miles of home. Based on what I see, in urban areas, arterial roads account for 60% of severe accidents.

Also, do you have the data on Waymo taking longer.

There's a couple of links below, but those look like the lack of highway driving is the main factor. I saw another article, but can't find it now, that showed Waymo taking significantly longer to pickup, on average, than the other services which was a major factor for shorter rides.

The reduction is based upon a comparison of like for like driving conditions. It doesn't come from lack of highway driving. They aren't comparing aggregated crash data to aggregated crash data.

This hub compares the Waymo Driver's Rider-Only (RO) crash rates to human crash benchmarks for surface streets.

No one is prepared for what is coming. AI security will be 100% necessary soon.

Seems it already exists considering they found and reported 500 issues. The story is that Anthropic, Alphabet, xAI and OpenAI have the most powerful AI models and none of them would risk their position by exploiting vulnerabilities and they all would report the vulnerabilities as a representation of capability and good will.

Said it earlier, more smart good people than smart bad people lays the balance at reducing worry about that stuff.

Would be stunning if there were enough inefficiency on Polymarket to average ~35% returns per trade over the course of 200 trades. If that were possible it would be wiped by people doing the same thing.

You might could do it for a while before other people figured it out though.

Would suggest a highly inefficient market and a person willing to expose and thus end the possibility after only making $2900 after only running it for two days on an exponential growth curve. He's certainly not the only person attempting to use AI to do that task. First day he made $175 out of a $50 initially deposit. That resulting $225 turned into $2980 a day later. Following the same trajectory he'd have 10's of thousands by day 3. Not sure that it could scale to millions due the impact of the larger bets on the swings in the market.

Anyone denying what AI can do - and where it's going - is either weapons grade ignorant, dim or delusional. Or perhaps they are just trying hard to convince themselves otherwise. Fear will do that to people.

It's gone viral on X. Unfortunately, I think he's underselling it quite a bit because the reality is more insane than what he is letting on and there isn't going to be any way you can prepare for what is coming. Even the AI experts are now at risk.

So many naive simpletons here.

AI has not won. AI is a tool, it will not "replace" anyone. The greedy CEO will use AI as an excuse to cover for his own failure and screwup precisely because there are so many naive simpletons who will buy what he says.

Then in a few years when reality sets in, they will say AI has reached its ceiling, they need people again. Much like offshoring which showed up to mediocre in quality.

Lawyer here. My law partner came in and asked me to research Forida law on an insurance law issue since that is my area. Idiot employee at a client hired an uninsured unbonded contractor for demolition work. They hit a fiber optic line, etc...

Uploaded all docs to Gemini, spent some time with a good prompt. It wrote a perfect legal memo in more detail than I would have in less than a minute. Dates, names, legal citations -- all accurate. Gave me emails to contact the Florida 811 service (call before you dig) to verify info. It would have taken me an hour if not more, to research, google, and write all that.

And the scary thing is it gets exponentially better each day. Most of the lawyers I know are freaking out. Accounting, law, finance, medicine. All white collar jobs are at risk.

More than anyone else on this thread, you need to read that article. But if you don't, that's fine. One less meat sack to compete against for the crumbs.

Patently false. Law firms will not hire as many new associates. You won't need as many radiologists because they are just going to check what AI read. Same for accounting and financial advisers.

I have this weird nook in my house, and I used AI to give decorating ideas for it. Then I told it which one I liked, and it sourced the furniture, rug, and lighting. No interior decorator needed. Did the same last year with landscaping suggestions.

Maybe 10 years before those jobs are worried about the exact same thing. Maybe.

Slap enough tools in a row and you get a task. Slap enough tasks in a row and you get a job. Slap enough jobs in a row and you get a company. Company into an economy. We are somewhere between the tool to task and task to job transition.

The speed that it advances between those is going to be tough for society to absorb without panic. Not wholly worried about that, because people underestimate their ability to fill time/find enjoyable and productive non-income experiences.

More worried about agents being misaligned/deployed without consideration to their intention.

I've introduced it to my team and work and it's blowing everyone's mind. It created a 49 tab workbook for all of our environmental rules related to leaks for federal and state requirements. It would have taken me literally months to do this and I'm not exaggerating. It took about 20 minutes to make it. I've been through a few iterations to add things and make minor error corrections, but it's well beyond my ability at this point.

Seedance 2.0 has just obliterated copyright law globally. There is no way to enforce or stop this since this is a Chinese model. They tried to stop the American models from doing this but just like with everything else, if we don't do it the Chinese will.
