There is no such thing as a fully autonomous vehicle. There are only highly autonomous vehicles that require a human to be present in the case of an emergency, ie trains. That will no longer be the case. The AIs will eventually be much better at handling emergencies, driving, everything than humans.

Which country in history had a habit of truly passing up on hugely significant economic or military resources based on some principled idea? None. Because all the ones that did couldn’t survive. You really are going to try to argue that geopolitics is powered by virtue?

That’s not true, there are fully autonomous vehicles. The reason we don’t see it daily — and I doubt we ever will - is that AI will always make mistakes. But you can’t put in jail an AI and the way they make mistakes is unpredictable to humans.

You’re contradicting yourself. You say there are fully autonomous vehicles but they aren’t capable of autonomously driving themselves fully. Ie they aren’t fully autonomous. So that aren’t any fully autonomous vehicles.

Ok so now you’re saying that AGI is impossible. That’s a completely different argument. And it’s wrong to reject regulation based on that argument because it can’t be proven. So you can’t reject regulation that way and you can’t reject it with your idea about humans having intrinsic value. So you are forced to support regulation of AI.

They are capable, but society wont allow it because of the legal implications. You are arguing a strawman.

Dude what are you even talking about. If you want to continue this conversation then we have to talk on the phone or twitter spaces or something with higher bandwidth because this is wearing out my thumbs.

He's saying you're arguing in bad faith because you are: Human drivers are fully autonomous and make mistakes - the difference being we accept the risk of human drivers and their mistakes as a society and have not (yet) with self driving cars.

That fact does nothing to disprove the existence of autonomous vehicles.

Go outside, friend.

This is absurd. He’s saying that human obsolescence can’t be real because we have fully autonomous vehicles already and humans are made to drive them. First of all, no we don’t have them. Second of all, if we had a system that didn’t make mistakes then we would let that system drive instead of a human, obviously. There is no such system to point to to contradict me. This entire argument is stupid. Humans won’t be employed to do things that machines can do better. 99.9999% of cloth is weaved. Y machines, not humans. By your logic there should be a human manning each loom.

Go outside? Go back to Reddit you retard and don’t come back until you’re graduated from high school.

He’s not saying anything of the sort.

You seem very worked up and calling people names is ironically something a puerile teenager in high school would do.

Go outside, get some fresh air and perspective and come back to being a productive member of this community.

Maybe they will not not because of virtue, but because it is not desirable.
