Tesla Full Self-Driving is not safer than a human driving manually. - FSD failed a DMV driver's test.- HW3 has 20/60 vision (illegal).- HW4 has 20/40 vision (bare legal minimum).- FSD hallucinates like all AIs. It's no surprise Tesla can only defend FSD with fake safety stats.

In this week's People of ACM, we interview Brad Myers, Professor, @SCSatCMU, and Director @cmuhcii. He discusses his recent book on the history of computer-human interaction techniques and predicts what new HCI technologies are on the horizon. Read here:

“One goalkeeper robot stood placidly as its opponent kicked a ball at its legs several times before finally managing to score." You don't want to miss highlights like this from a recent robot-only sports competition in China.

Today we remember Edgar F. Codd, who was born #OTD in 1923. He received the 1981 #ACMTuringAward for his fundamental and continuing contributions to the theory and practice of database management systems. Codd's work revolutionized the field of databases.

“If we continue on the current path … we are basically playing Russian roulette with humanity,” warns #ACMTuringAward recipient Yoshua Bengio. A new class of agents has arrived on the scene: ones built using #LLMs. How to make them work safely?

Eighty percent of job openings available to fresh graduates listed AI-related skills as a plus in 2025. In a slowed-down economy and a competitive job market, many students see AI as a lifeline. .#TechNews #CSEd #AI

It used to be impossible to run a local LLM without investing in pricey GPUs. But researchers have had so much success in shrinking down and speeding up models that anyone with a laptop, or even a smartphone, can now get in on the action. Here's how:

🚨New survey reveals minimum tariff concerns amid growing economic momentum. A new nationwide August survey of America’s Main Street small businesses revealed muted concerns about the @POTUS Administration’s tariff actions, as business owners prepare for coming growth.
