In medicine, when a big breakthrough happens, we hear that we could see practical applications of the technology in 5-10 years.
In computer technology, we reach the same level of proof of concept and ship it as a working product, and ignore the old adage “The first 90% of implementation takes 90% of the time, and the last 10% takes the other 90%”.
Which adds up to 180%. And that is all you need to know about deadlines.
Yup, a complete 180
The same deadlines from MBA chuds who think nine women can birth a child in a month.
Because medicine practices a little thing called "ethics," and there's a strong ethical argument for restricting AI to research purposes only and completely outlawing any practical deployments, at least until the implications are fully understood.
AI may very well be the nuclear WMDs of our time, and we're letting everyone play with it like a high school chemistry set.
It’s almost like medicine that goes into your body is very different from apps on the App Store. But other than that, yes, very interesting observation Cerevant@lemmy.world!
Yeah, let’s talk about self driving cars…
Yes, let's.
Do you want me to Google if they are statistically safer than human drivers per mile, or should you?
