But before asking for money, they should hire a designer. Took me many years to grock Twitter, and now that I kind of like it, I am turned off by its design. Too much chrome and too little content. If you want to read a discussion, you are presented with a narrow column, very aired, and with both screen sides acting as a "back button". It feels bad. I much prefer reading discussions on Slashdot, Reddit or Ycombinator. On Twitter it's not clear who's replying to what. There is no way to fold a part of the conversation. I am always afraid of generating unwanted clicks and touches while scrolling it. The whole page should not be a clickable area - just select parts of it, under 10%.
Just as fossil fuels have a terrible externality - pollution and global warming, so does automation - unemployment and concentration of wealth to the top 1%. Automation has to compensate for the negative effects it causes.
People used to rely on the value of their work, and work-power was inseparable from the person. But now that has changed. Now we can have the work without the person, so people are cut out of the economic loop.
In order to compensate for this effect I think we need to support people both with a BHI, but also with creative empowerment. We need to put automation into the hands of the many, and empower them to build a new world where they are not dependent on the state but instead own their own automation stack.

In other words, neural networks applied to learning real world dynamics? There is a self-learning algorithm for that.

It's not just a robot, but a robot with endless simulation time or real time to optimize itself.
Why do you feel the need to use so many negative words: bullshit, killing, evil, hatred, hatred, lies, evilz, hate? Could you not have carried your point across with regular, non inflammatory words?
You can't stimulate talent with pay. Only repetitive work is stimulated by pay increase. As long as needs are covered, creative work is stimulated by protecting creative freedom, and by the clear understanding of the significance of the problem.

For such a small effect (5-10%) I'm wondering why it is so much discussed. I think it's just because immigration is neatly divided in "us" vs "them", but other causes are much harder to discern.
If you need to type, tablets are shit. Typing on screens is awful. I don't know what is a tablet workflow because I tried many times to find a use for tablets and never really could. Maybe I am just too old.
Yes, but for streaming movies, tablets and phones are shit. Laptops have this wonderful ability of being able to keep their screen vertical without being hand held. I wouldn't want to watch movies on a tablet, or sitting at a desk in front of a PC.

> I just don't understand Twitter's obsession with "short messages".
My pet peeve with Twitter is that replies / conversations are a second class citizen on their platform.

How would a gaming PC or a web server fare? There could be considerable loses if the power source is high frequency.

In practice the street signs/store fronts challenge almost never work. I select as best I can and it doesn't approve me. Maybe I'm a bot??

Just keep an old phone for travel. Don't install many apps, don't connect it to your accounts. Also, wipe the laptop clean before leaving.

If I only had a penny for every time a cancer cure was posted on slashdot, I'd be rich. Eventually, one of them will be real.
They're features. For their blackhat user base.
Because Apple has the same interests as UK, right! Let's put our secrets in their basket.
The Google Page Rank algorithm itself originated as a reputation system based on links between scientific papers. Then they applied it to web pages.
Poker is not a natural language game, so we're safe yet.
Honeytrap?
You can run plenty of AI on mobile phones or PCs. It's not so farfetched to have a non-cloud personal assistant.
It's raw materials for future space expansion, when we will bootstrap a space economy.

Maybe PCs are less used today, but cloud computers are on the rise. It's just more efficient and scalable.
How about laptop + cloud VMs on demand. You can get powerful VMs with GPU and lots of RAM (if you don't operate on sensitive data).
What model is this beast?
