I'd be for it except for the fact where Uranium mostly comes from. Like it or not, coal remains the energy reserve that potentially can keep the Us free.
Modern AI can barely drive a car under ideal conditions without crashing. The ocean is full of sounds. AI is decades away (still, and I've said this now for decades) from figuring out what it is hearing.
Self-driving cars have to answer every question they encounter successfully or it's a tragedy.
Sub detection involves a series of guesses with no significant penalty for being wrong - you just spend time looking again until you're sure. It's an infinitely easier problem.
Driving a car is in many ways harder than detecting subs. In particular, the car needs to make a lot of fine-grained decisions very fast in a feedback loop that affects what it sees. A sub-detecting algorithm only needs to output Option<vec3>. There's a lot of noise, yes, but I don't think it's crazy to think that can be solved by just having a honking huge model and adding more data, e.g. chemical traces, surface lidar, etc...
I saw a picture of a stretch of road in the west and started thinking about the 1800's and the striking contrast between the wild and the technological American landscape. It turns out Google has an interesting site, linked.
I do Java as I've done for several decades. I tried C# years ago despite Microsoft. Java and the JVM are superior, technologically and morally to anything they can come up with.
The fact that the pile of tools required to get a web to do anything useful is such a terrible mess including Angular and React is why I'm in full dismay that they are used by otherwise intelligent developers at all.
