Comments
Victor, I think you should pay better attention to the common sense of you guest (re: self-driving car).
Or, maybe a scientists like this:
(especially about 3:43 min in, where he talks about our false assumptions... which I hear ALL the time in the media!)
But I do think t's not insurmountable. It's not anytime soon, but we likewise shouldn't think that 'not-soon' equals 'never'. And when it comes, it will come out of the work that Fridman and others like him are doing.
If we just sit and agree, it's probably less fun.
Unless there is some breakthrough in terms of AI (which I'd personally bet against), they are working on a data collection / human foresight kind of problem, where they think eventually they will get all the bases covered. I suppose time could be a factor there, but it depends on how big the problem is and how much of it we can cover in a given time. My concern is that I think too many are betting on the former (ie: an AI breakthrough).
