What if it Snows?

AI

 

Pretty good article on AI in self driving trucks. Read on down to the "moral/judgement lines.
Gets down to the what if situation has never been programmed, or which is the best and less deadly decision in a situation.

There is no Artificial Intelligence, it is a very deep accumulation of "past" events/data with some algorithm applied as the best answer/decision.

Pretty well in line with my own thinking for the last two years.
The never ending grants, loans, easy obtainable approval of new business start ups, could not continue. "The payday; someday is arriving."

Ref the credit card delinquency situation, the auto finance bankruptcies, the removal of the illegals, (from work force and cash flow of their wages) and no one wants to/is willing to go to work 40 hours. Work 4 days remotely in your PJ's and shut down early.

Add the drug scene to the lack of desire to work at a steady job, and NO $... But my rights and entitlements????
There is coming sad singing and slow walking to a large percentage of our population. ...

My take.....
In past years, every Friday evening our local Walmart was packed with illegals sending money home, and shopping while there..
Now, they are not there. the sheetrock is not being hung by them, the MO fees and sales at Walmart are gone, the used 4 door, deluxe chrome pickups on weekly payments are not around. Several of our "international themed" restaurants are closed, and the remaining one's understaffed.
A few had disastrous "kitchen fires" and did not rebuild... So goes the unwind of the never ending good times. 2008 on steroids....

 

yep

 

Same when the Timber industry shut down here. A few mill fires?

 

Flashback to the husky I grew up with, no doubt about it!
