gollark: Anyway, osmarks.tk™ free hosting™ is available for signups, by which I mean you have to ask me it's entirely manual.
gollark: ???
gollark: Ideally, self-driving cars which run neural networks which are not susceptible to weird attacks.
gollark: Because:- if they're not robust against these problems, then a leak of the network means you can meddle with cars- it makes it harder for new companies to enter the self-driving-car space- you would need some sort of really evil DRM scheme to stop people just... reading the neural network out of the car's computer systems- trusting your life to closed-source systems is problematic
gollark: Well, then that's ALSO bad.
