I believe we can safely assume that the systems we can see in public are at least one generation behind what big tech has running internally. ChatGPT and a Bing are so for only influencing its users passively, but when they think overpopulation is an issue, it might add a bias to answers already. Questions is when will we see -or hear- from a first system set lose , able to push active code

I wonder how much of the poverty can be still traced back to the British East India Company
Re:Physical buttons outperform touchscreens in new cars, test finds

I also do product safety risk assessments , yet in other industry . But from safety perspective , I cannot come up with any reasoning how touch screens are acceptable . For sure they distract eye from the road when you try to find the right button . In a good car , your hands find the right function without the need to look for them .
And not to speak of Tesla tachometer on the touchscreen. To my understanding , this has to be banned . It would’ve been acceptable if the things would drive themselves , yet as this is not in sight , that kind of distraction from the road seems unacceptable . I would never buy a car designed like this just out of safety reasons

Out of context but reminds me of the painfully missing feature in outlook to highlight key information . How can this feature be not there ?

Issue is in my opinion that Tesla deliberately doesn’t install features to closely monitor driver‘s attention. In a Mercedes , if you don’t pay attention , multiple systems detect this and system is shutting down auto pilot functions with pre-warning .
