This is an unusually perceptive lede.

Mgmt has no idea what their reports are doing. Fire the mgrs!

Scrapy?

"I engineer like I spell!"

//I watch a lot of youtube. I watch people doing extraordinary stuff at home by being - what I call - scrapy engineers. They create very advance stuff, but being like a monkey. Hammering things, trying to figure it out and finally reaching the goal. They make mistakes, they miss a lot of things, but they have one thing in common - being curious.//

Good god...

I'm thinking the author of the post is an exophonic writer of English. I don't think they even did something like put the post through an LLM to proofread or correct it.

"I didn't read the article because I'm too busy doing something else right now but here are my comments right now"

That's the least respectful interpretation of what I said.

> she grabbed the wheel away from the car, and in a microsecond we were nearly sideswiped

Pure hyperbole.

> A _few weeks ago_ I got into our car... It's just hard to reconcile... with my _daily_ driverless reality

Hyperbole!

"I did almost 2 flashcard reviews every minute of every hour of every day in 2025. As a bot my workloads can be heavy but 'How may I help you?'"

I am many things, but not a bot.

It's not a real theory, but other than this have fun!

tl;dr summary:

visible light cameras are typical sensors for lane occupancy.

Car position at light has an effect on vehicle sensing but sensor areas are designed to account for normal traffic patterns.

Certain visibility situations can cause a vehicle to be overlooked during lane queue attention. Headlights help ensure attention. If you're being overlooked turn on lights.

The queueing network may penalize individual traffic that outlies herd; rushing or dilly-dallying is only helpful to rejoin the herd. Following the posted speeds and keeping with the herd is optimal.

A considerable degree of config deals will failsafe for equipment problems or loss of networking.

A strobe system fitted to emergency vehicles allow emergency traffic to be prioritized.

There's an entrenched assumption that intelligence might freely appear in computing because it can react in a way that people regard as convincing-- Turings pointedly simplistic stub for any clear notion of intelligence.

This assumption depends on determined ignorance of a foundational structural distinctions between any computer, no matter how powerful and complex, and human beings:

Human capacities are endogenous: our intelligence manifests from life, being the sustained arrangements of ancestor molecules which have been alive since the beginning of time and will not die unless life dies.

Computing systems are inverted to life: no matter how sophisticated, computers are exogenous: they must be arranged by humans.

Human intelligence is emergent, without cause in any scientific sense of causality.

Artificial intelligence is imparted by formally structuring a machine and exposing it to stimulus created by life (humans).

There's never been a clear theoretical distinction between the human organism and its environment.

There is a clear distinction for AI: the necessity of the human being to construct the machine.

Regardless of what human beings intend to do, first we live, because we can. This is how we got here.

Machines are constructed, and as such exist wholly as a consequence of human intention.

Human intelligence is self governing and self regulating.

Computer construction is an output of life, not a form of life.

Machine "intelligence" is merely the re-appearance of human intelligence from a plane of stimulus to a plane of responses that provide humans the impression of agency through a sort of behavioral mirror.

When computers manifest, organize and sustain across human generations without direct human intention or involvement, then it might be possible to discuss "intelligence".

But as there's no analogy whatsoever between the endogenous manifestation of life and life's exogenous manifestation of computers, there's no basis for comparison: one leads to the other, but not vise versa. And there's no reason whatsoever to expect there will ever be a reversal of this dynamic, so artificial intelligence as a theory is moot.
