The Whole World is Now a Computer, Says Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella (zdnet.com)
Thanks to cloud computing, the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, we should start to think of the planet as one giant computer, according to Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella. From a report: "Digital technology, pervasively, is getting embedded in every place: every thing, every person, every walk of life is being fundamentally shaped by digital technology -- it is happening in our homes, our work, our places of entertainment," said Nadella speaking in London. "It's amazing to think of a world as a computer. I think that's the right metaphor for us as we go forward."
[...] AI is core to Microsoft's strategy, Nadella said: "AI is the run time which is going to shape all of what we do going forward in terms of applications as well as the platform." Microsoft is rethinking its core products by using AI to connect them together, he said, giving an example of a meeting using translation, transcription, Microsoft's HoloLens and other devices to improve decision-making. "The idea that you can now use all of the computing power that is around you -- this notion of the world as a computer -- completely changes how you conduct a meeting and fundamentally what presence means for a meeting," he said.

Laws are rules for the court, but merely a bottom bar to hit for life. Think beyond laws in your actions always.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is a fucking idiot.
The world is a computer and it's running Window's Vista.

I just hope that nobody decides to reboot. That would mean 4.5 billion years down the drain.
As an aside, can somebody improve my memory retrieval function? It has been having some issues lately.
