WYSI-dangerous: Why WYSIWYG editors are bad for your website - RedCloth: Textile for Ruby

by Spone
Suppose you are fed up with rush-hour traffic and you’re looking for a new way to get to make your daily commute. “I’ve got just the thing,” I say: a personal-sized airplane that will deliver you to work like the Jetsons. Don’t worry, you don’t need to know anything about flying—it’s all automated. No knowledge of flight dynamics, weather, or navigation is required. Just push the right buttons on the dash and the computer will take care of the rest. It’s as easy as driving a car! I hope you’d say, “thanks but no thanks.” Sure, someday that will be a reality, but you realize that right now flying is a much more complex operation than driving. You’re operating in three dimensions instead of two; there are more external factors, like weather and turbulence; you can’t just pull over onto the shoulder. The consequences of making wrong choices are much higher and aviation AI just isn’t sophisticated or trustworthy enough yet.
