I ve been reading alot of news recently about ai, and how an "insanely" amount of money, time and research is being put into applying it to personal cars by major brands and private investors. Why? We could be investing in space exploration/colonisation (didn't NASA design plans for this back in the 70's?) Why this stupid interest in cars, most people I know already expressed a negative reaction to the idea of a self driven car.
>Space exploration
We already have telescopes and satellites.
>Colonisation
Why would anyone want to live in a lifeless rock?
We have a lot of automation to do here on earth before we will be able to venture out.

It's not lifeless if we live on it
what do u think is more expensive
building a huge ass rocket and colonising space, or paying some nerds to think about ai and stuff
>>7776540
depends on the nerds
>>7776515
if we are lucky we can apply the progress made in ai to other fields than just cars
>>7776515
Because its better to have AI think of ways to go into space rather than humans, if you get a AI with superior intelligence imagine all the innovations and discoveries that can be made. Not to mention how efficient it will be.

That's my point, why not invest inn that right away...
>>7776518
I meant exploring and colonising with automatas. We re useless sacs of meat, in the vastness of space we are nothing and our existence is far to short to ever accomplish something significant.

Because consumerism. Not to mention everyone is short-sided.
>>7776629
Indeed...
