Facebook realized their AI chatbots had created a new language, and right away understood this is not something humans should want AI to do, so they built in a requirement that the AI chatbots only use English.
The problem with AI is not responsible scientists, but greedy mo-fos who are going to eventually use it as they please, the rest of the world be damned. This is the nature of humanity.
Ever since attending the AWS conference, I have been wondering if the reason AMZN is not concerned about still hemorrhaging money and not making a profit after 20 years now is because the end game is becoming To Big To Fail.
I think Bezos et. al. learned a valuable lesson from 2008 and applied it as part of their business strategy.
Bailing is pure bullshit - I have never bailed on plans with a friend and never will. That is the definition of friendship. I might not want to go when the time arrives but guess what, I do, and am usually happy I did, because I feel good about keeping to my word and seeing a real friend is always good too.
Acquaintances on the other hand? Bail away... And here is a clue, people who bail on you are not your friends, they are acquaintances.
Absolutely. Lucky for me I figured out the pay-to-play society that was being set up and decided against leveraging myself to get a stupid degree. All any degree other than a PhD shows is that you are good at jumping through hoops.
Yeah, Steve Jobs was the genius driving Apple - proven after being fired then returning and taking Apple to the stratosphere.
Personally I think AAPL is a long term short now - they are obviously still riding Steve's coattails as he did the best he could to set them up to do so; but without a once-in-a-lifetime visionary genius, they are nothing special.
I was left with two distinct ideas after reading this book that I'd wished I'd had 20 years earlier.
1) It's damn ok, if not mandatory, that a person feel good about making money off their talents
2) Pure unabashed capitalism is an extreme philosophy.
Maybe the safest of the hallucinogens they were compared to, but to say they are the safest recreational drug likely means the researchers were themselves shrooming.:P
This is hilarious and just goes to show how ignorant these lawmakers really are regarding technology. Pass whatever secret surveillance laws you want, you won't be breaking RSA-4096 anytime soon, and when you can, cryptographers will have devised something better. What a utter and ridiculous law. Tools of the oligarchs...
Yeah Waze works real good. I laugh as I see Waze users, I know they are using Waze because they are sitting in traffic on a side street that is usually empty because of everyone using Waze. Cracks me up everytime... Bummer for the people that live on that street though.
I like to be supportive of Tesla, as the ideas are great, but based on past offerings this is likely get it while it's hot. Remember free supercharging for life?
This response by this person is part of the problem - it's so damned simple, if every employee refused, the issue would drop.
However the pay-to-play society we've built makes saying no a problem as most people are leveraged over their head, starting with their consumerist education leading to a huge student debt to be paid, as well as blatant bling bling consumerism. All this leads to the viewpoint expressed in the parent post.
Smart people know debt is slavery and avoid it, money is power for certain.
Agreed - I have over 400 vinyl albums, most of which I ripped to Mp3 only because I don't want to pay twice for music I already have - so I have to put up with the clicks, hiss, rumble and wow and fultter of vinyl while listening to these tracks, and do not for one second think that audiophile vinyl is any better, it is not, digital blows vinyl out of the water, that is why vinyl was left behind so long ago.
Hipsters like vinyl, 70s chopper motorcycles and skinny skateboards, all three are sucky technology, the 70s choppers are outright dangerous, something those with a few years under their belt know; they're the ones that left them behind for better tech.
Slashdot Mirror
Nothing new here folks, same method was used to nail Ted Kaczynski - of course it was much more difficult back then so a far greater accomplishment.
Yeah they are calling it technology? Hardly...
So glad I did not go for the remote network accessibility option in my new car. Seemed like such a bad idea; yep!
Yet another reason why device manufacturers, not to mention everyone else, should move to RUST sooner rather than later.
Men with fragile egos that can't handle the idea that women may be better than them at [ fill-in-the-blank ]
There is one word that succinctly describes men/boys like this: douche.

That ride is going so suck without a realistic VR experience to make it seem a bit more earthly. Speeding through a shiny lit tunnel? Not for me.
Bailing is nothing new, and it has not increased.

Google will no longer scan emails for the purposes of advertising targeting. They never said they would no longer scan emails altogether.
:P

Wow nice linking to fake news sites, except for the Denver Post link which had absolutely nothing to do with sound scientific research.
Trump much?

Main reason not to go, in Los Angeles at least, are disruptive, annoying and inconsiderate people.
Once only studio execs had bitchin' screening rooms at home; now thanks to technology we all do, and besides, free beer at home!

Crowd sourcing is not always a good idea

The greatest benefit Bill Gates or Warren Buffet could leave to human kind is to use most of their money to fund a global free press foundation.
Must be the first time ever I've heard of a Texas Holdem game where luck was not a factor.

It is myriad - as in myriad bad test results, not a myriad bad test results; didn't you pay attention in skool?
Oh you beat me to it! Wish I had mod points!
