Why Don’t People Return Their Shopping Carts? A (Somewhat) Scientific Investigation - by Hannah B. Waldfogel - Behavioral Scientist

“Fifteen years ago, computers could correctly identify what an image contains about 60% of the time. Now, it’s common to see success rates near 90%. But many computer systems still fail some of the simplest vision tests—thus reCAPTCHA’s continued usefulness.” via @KnowableMag.bsky.social
Computers are getting much better at learning to “see”
The machine-learning programs that underpin image-recognition still have blind spots, but will they for much longer?

Q: We're talking about dismantling. What does "mantling" look like?

A: You can't "mantle" as readily as you can dismantle. Only holds as long as the party in power wants to "mantle."
