NFTs don't do anything its 100% speculation on a made up asset.

AI actually does a lot, and can replace many jobs.

Then don't buy Nvidia stock and you wont lose your money.

Whether the stock goes up or down, millions of people will be replaced because running a GPU is cheaper than having a real human answer a phone and write emails.

A small team that contacts you over a speaker call if you press a button in the car or it gets stuck.

If a thousand rideshare drivers are replaced by robotaxis and 20 customer support techs, that's automation.

AI customer support calls already exist too, the human operators are just there since Waymo hasn't bothered to set up an AI call center yet.

No, not hypotheticals, Waymo operates thousands of rides per day each, in multiple cities.

Other companies have already automated customer support calls.

Humans are always more expensive, and can't do anything a bot can't do.

It's not a masurement of probability at all.

Technology exists, even if it's not where you happen to be at that moment.

self-driving cars can expand exponentially once they exist. You can drive for uber now, but it's quickly being automated.

They've spent most of their time doing R&D to make the first cars, and are now testing their cars in a few cities.

While they are in the development phase they will have a different ratio then when they finally roll out to most cities.

Waymo was founded in 2009, so they’ve been in "the development phase" for 16 years now.

So Waymo has relatively few engineers, and they've already made software that has a lower accident rate than a human, and that software can be copied and pasted for free into new cars. Retaining engineers just allows them to improve the software further, so it just gets better.

You said they have more employees than cars because they’re in the development phase and when I said they’ve been in the development phase for 16 years, you said no they’re not in the development phase because they have a product.

So which is it? Are they in development or are they not in development?

They have more engineers than cars now, but aren't done expanding.

Do you think they're going to have 10x as many engineers when they are in 10x more cities? R&D doesn't scale when they expand to a new market, but customer support would.


> that get paid more than uber drivers do.

Users are willing to pay more to use a Waymo over Uber or Lyft.

Yes, they have had a commercial product for years, and they are no longer in the pre-rollout phase. That doesn't mean they have zero employees working to improve the product further.

It took 9 years of development before users could order a car. It's been 6 years since and they have expanded from 1 to 3 cities, with 2 more planned.

They finished their 9-year long pre-rollout development. They won't stop refining the product unless they go out of business.

Building a faster train isn't the same challenge as building a car that can drive itself.

> Waymo: still in development after 16 years
And no, they took 9 years of development

> has killed people.
It's safer than human drivers already, there are fewer deaths because of self-driving cars. Pointing out that it isn't 100% perfect missed the point: it just needs to be better than humans.

What decade is it? That was 80 years ago. The only reason why Japan was successful is because the United States spent billions of dollars rebuilding Japan because they wanted an ally in the east during the Cold War to oppose communism. Japan has terrible demographics, they have low immigration, Asians don’t like the Japanese because of what the Japanese did in the Second World War, so even if the Japanese wanted immigrants they probably wouldn’t get them, their economy is stagnating, they’ve gone from the second largest economy to falling behind China and Germany, and with basically zero GDP growth, they’re basically guaranteed to fall behind India next.

Anonymous P double-posted this 3 months ago, 4 minutes later, 1 day after the original post[^] [v] #1,398,647

And by next I mean, India has a 3.9 trillion dollar GDP, Japan has a 4 trillion dollar GDP, India grows at 7% every year, Japan grows by 0.1% every year, it will probably happen literally next year. They’re a declining civilization, and the west is next.
