  • Taping to the camera as shown on the left would be challenging to make work at least. The cameras don’t put out light so whatever image you use would have to be on paper thin and light enough for backlighting to work. The distortion that close would also be extreme, so you’d want to keep the main part of your image in the center and small. And yeah, it’d probably be blurry, but the resolution on most of those cameras was already pretty bad up until a few years ago so you might not notice.

    When I moved away after high school my parents sold the old Volvo station wagon I was driving, decided the newer Volvo wagon my mom had been driving would be what my younger siblings would drive, and with strong encouragement from my younger brother, my mom picked up a used Boxster thinking that she’d never have to do the carpool line again. This was after the dot-com bubble burst and there was a surplus of used Porsches for relatively cheap. Somehow they found one as an automatic transmission back then, but it was still the best car I’ve ever driven as far as the handling goes. I loved the GTI I bought later, but that Boxster was a different level. At the speed limit it was almost like the car was steering itself because it was so effortless, and it was easy to go double the posted speed limit without realizing it if there weren’t other cars around.







  • I’m sure there are many jobs AI is not capable of doing but some CEOs probably do a bad enough job that an AI chat bot could probably do better.

    I know we like to dump on CEOs all the time but a good CEO does not seem like one that could be replaced by AI, certainly not by what is currently being hyped. There are just a lot of highly visible companies with CEOs who aren’t actually very good. I suspect the dysfunction of publicly traded companies and the goals of Wall Street investors (or other nations’ equivalents) frequently not aligning with a good long-term health of a company has a strong influence on this.

    And of course these guys will be happy to have AI replace them; they’ve already made boatloads of money and think they’ll be able to keep that going even if they lose their job.
