"Did the vehicle just crash" has a short feedback loop, very amenable to RL. "Did this product strategy tank our earnings/reputation/compliance/etc" can have a much longer, harder to RL feedback loop.

But maybe not that much longer; METR task length improvement is still straight lines on log graphs.

The AI has read all the business books, blogs and stories.

Unless your CEO is Steve Jobs, it's hard to imagine it being much worse than your average pointy haired boss.

This seems like a liability as most business books, blogs, and stories are either marketing BS or gloss over luck and timing.

As someone using AI agents daily, this is actually incredible really easy to imagine. It's actually hard to imagine it NOT being horrible! Maybe that'll change though... if gains don't plateau.

But they are shit. Over the last 2 days I've got bored of the predictable cycle of it first getting excited about a new idea then back peddling once I shoot it to pieces.

They can't write and think critically at the same time. Then subsequent messages are tainted by their earlier nonsensical statements.

Opus 3.7 BTW, not some toy open source model.

Getting to that point is likely going to involve a lot of (the business and personal equivalent of) Teslas electing to drive through white semitrailers.

> AI driven cars have better risk profiles than humans.

From which company? I hope you say "Waymo", because Tesla is lying through its teeth and hiding crash statistics from regulators.

Let's not forget that Waymo requires an extensive, custom mapping and software/pre-training development process for every new city they operate in, are only in 10 cities total after over 20 years, and are still nowhere near profitability (or even with a clear plan to get there as far as I can tell).

I personally believe widely available self-driving cars which don't operate at a loss will continue to elude us until we accept the tradeoffs of dedicated lanes, a standardized vehicle-to-vehicle communication protocol, and roadside sensors. We were lied to.
