One of the more silly articles on HN in a while. Waymo has cars as I type this driving around Arizona without safety drivers.

People were freaked out by the Google demo of Duplex a couple of weeks ago as it was just too human sounding.

Can give so many other example. One is foundational. The voice used with Google Duplex is using a DNN at 16k cycles a second in real-time and able to offer at a competitive price.

That was done by creating the TPU 3.0 silicon. The old way of piecing together was NOT compute intensive and therefore doing it using a DNN requires proprietary hardware to be able to offer at a competitive price to the old way.

But what else can be done when you can do a 16k cycles through a DNN in real-time? Things have barely even got started and they are flying right now. All you have to do is open your eyes.

DNN - Deep Neural Network.
