News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I think the team is already busy teaching their AI or whatever that when you have a yellow police tape (or otherwise heavy presence of armed officers or other [para]military), find an alternative route. This is how the self driving tech improves. And it's better that glitches like this happen with a small food delivery robot than with a AI controlled truck.

But consider this, that robot didn't get arrested, shot at, or otherwise brutalized by the law enforcement officers. And hopefully didn't cause too much confusion at the crime scene either as in preventing officers doing their job. So really, a non-story with win-win ending; or something like that.

Does that then become a hack to misdirect the robot? As a side note it also works on real people, a long time ago in a small town a friend and I redirected all the traffic on the main Street down a small side street after one too many on a Saturday night. Harmless and it seemed funny at the time.

Robots treated better than humans? What sort of -ism is this?

Most likely this doesnt use AI, but remote control by employees from south america.

Whenever the topic of AI comes up, I always ask if it wouldn't be cheaper to set up shop in my country and pay people to do it in real time and call it AI.
