I put a bike on a trunk rack on the back of our Toyota. It thought a bike was behind the car and kept slamming on the brakes while trying to back out of the driveway.
Then there's the lane assist that jerks the wheel while going through construction zones, because the lines on the road don't match up with where you need to be.
Trade secrets don't need to be enforced much by law. You can create an ad hoc trade secret regime by simply keeping your secret between a few key employees. As it happens, there are some laws that go beyond that to help companies keep the secret, but that only extends something that could happen naturally.
It actually did, but not in a way people expected at the time that movie was made. It changed a lot underneath the hood.
We shall break into the desktop and laptop market! Let's start by severing ties with one of the most successful companies to do that so far.
The x86 license itself doesn't matter much anymore. Those patents expired a long time ago. Early x86_64 is held by AMD, but those patents are also expiring soon.
There's more advancements past that which are held by both Intel and AMD. You still can't make a modern x86 CPU on your own. Soon, you'll be able to make a CPU with an instruction set compatible with the first Athlon 64-bit processors, but that's as far as it goes.
That's exactly what I'm getting at. AI is about pushing the boundary. Once the boundary is crossed, it's not AI anymore.
Those chess engines don't play like human players. If you were to look at how they determine things, you might conclude they're not intelligent at all by the same metrics that you're dismissing ChatGPT. But at this point, they are almost impossible for humans to beat.
AI as a field of computer science is mostly about pushing computers to do things they weren't good at before. Recognizing colored blocks in an image was AI until someone figured out a good way to do it. Playing chess at grandmaster levels was AI until someone figured out how to do it.
Along the way, it created a lot of really important tools. Things like optimizing compilers, virtual memory, and runtime environments. The way computers work today was built off of a lot of things out of the old MIT CSAIL labs. Saying "there's no I to this AI" is an insult to their work.
Censoring topics is the least of the issues with the AI bubble.
It's really difficult/expensive for a home user to do a 3-2-1 backup properly. Especially if you're pushing beyond a few TB.
My NAS uses a pair of SAS drives, and they make noises at boot up that would be concerning in a desktop. They're quite obnoxious. But I keep them in part of the house where they don't bother me.
When the cache isn't full, yes, that's true. Copy a file that's significantly bigger than cache and performance will drop part way through.
