A patent is meant to encourage people and companies to share the details of their inventions, instead of keeping them secret. In return the inventors get protection for a certain number of years.
My wife and I both eat the same healthy Mediterranean diet (born in the region)
Yet she is obese. Her body simply doesn't send the "that's enough" signals when it should and she overeats. It is possible to get get fat on a healthy diet, it is just easier with high calorie junk.
Careful with UBI. What they are thinking is reshuffling/re-branding Medicaid/Food Stamps/Housing voucher, etc, into one lump sum that just like the current welfare, will barely be enough to keep you alive.
Getting an idea out there quickly and cheaply is definitely a good use for AI. In the context of the original op, this is not putting any developers out of work. Quite the contrary, if the idea takes off then you will probably want to make a proper implementation with a carefully thought out UX.
What is you opinion of U.I "designed" by someone without UX experience, thru prompting. Most likely you cringe at how bad they are, as do the reset of us.
Similarly, programmers have a name for code generated without a coder guiding and reviewing, A.I slop.
Vibe coding by people with no programming skills is not going to happen.
What will happen is moving to higher and higher code representations. A compiler is already doing 99% of the actual coding when you realize that the only language computers understand is assembly.
Imagine AI during the Cuban missile crisis telling both sides, the other is about to launch a first strike. The USSR is gone but China is only getting stronger and more confrontational.
It is important to note that in China, developmental delays are treated with ridicule for the affected and as a source of shame for the families.
I'm not passing judgment on the parents, I'm just pointing out that how society treats developmental delays is extremely important to the quality of life of these people.
Here in the US autism was considered a "mental illness" until the 1980's.
The point is because they are all identical they should not be compared to the "average," a pool of good and bad drivers but rather good drivers alone. Unless you mandate "no more humans on the road" is is not the speed-daemons and lane-cutters that will choose automated cars.
Each human is different so we treat them as separate entities. Machines, by design are cookie-cutter copies. If one Waymo did something horribly stupid, then all Waymos would have done that exact same thing in that situation.
The problem is that they are building these wherever they can without any consideration for how they are affecting the communities.
The noise concerns are common because they build them in areas without enough electric capacity.
The water concerns are real, not because of some paper or because the water usage is incredibly high but again because they built them in locations that don't have enough of that resource.
The tax subsidies were negotiated in bad-faith, essentially lying about the number of permanent high-paying jobs they bring.
Even rural localities in blood-red states are opposing datacenters. Noise, water electricity usage coupled with few permanent jobs and little tax-income due to subsidies have made them unpalatable to many.
Humans are more likely to make small mistakes but the internal consistency check is pretty good at catching large errors. On top of that, fudging numbers to make everything add up is not something humans do (not unintentionally at least)
The problem with LLM's is that they could work correctly for months and years and then do something egregious which will will go unnoticed because of the misplaced trust one develops on a system that "just seems to work." Get flagged for an expensive audit and there go all the savings and then some.
I don't know if it's "birth control" but it will definitely let you know that "Plan B" is not considered "pregnancy-termination" it is still legal in all States.
