  1. Re:A very harshly worded letter was sent! on Government Officials Begin Investigating Equifax Breach (thehill.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    After that they will be made to sit in the comfy chair!

    That's silly. If I monitored 'trips to gas station' by car manufacturers and saw honda civic a lot, you could say this is because they get poor gas mileage, couldn't you?

    I am happy that you are proud of you pedantry :)

  4. Re:Wow, slashdot has gone down hill on El Nino's Absence Is Causing An Active Hurricane Season (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    Or just maybe after decades of being exposed to bullshit at all corners they are kind of prickly? Whatever optimism the internet generated died a long time ago....

  5. Re:El Nino and climate changes on El Nino's Absence Is Causing An Active Hurricane Season (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    These people are mostly funded by the government and use the governments own data (IE NOAA satellites), and have to write proposals for grants to get the funding. You don't know how to play 'follow the money' very well.

  6. Re:Charity (and other things) begin at home. on Should Congress Force Social Media To Investigate Foreign Propaganda Trolls? (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    In other words, maybe they should change the way they do news so that it is distinguishable from fake news.

    If you want to be pedantic they are called typhoons in the pacific

    That's bullshit. Hurricane season has been almost non-existent the last several years. You are just making shit up.

  9. Re:Why didn't Amazon vette the source? on Amazon Was Tricked By a Fake Law Firm Into Removing a Popular Product, Costing the Seller $200,000 (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    To be fair to Amazon(I can't believe I am saying this) they have been taking a lot of heat recently for selling counterfeit goods. So it sounds like they are trying, just not hard enough!

  10. It's happened through incremental improvements. So what happened in the last year or two where suddenly we need AI consultants that wouldn't be covered by ordinary IT initiatives?

  11. Re:And after 90 years... on TV Turns 90 (axios.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    And those counter-snob-snob-snobs are the worst! You should be ashamed!

  12. Re:They continue to un follow people for you too. on Twitter is Just Randomly Deleting People's Lists -- and No One Knows Why (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    The simplest explanation is that the twitter 'AI' is rebelling.

  13. Okay, well if someone makes a robot as smart as a cat I am in.....

    They are counting Democratic voters ;-)

  15. Re:Still primarily in R&D on Executives Say AI Will Change Business, But Aren't Doing Much About It (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    A few years ago nobody claimed speech recognition was AI. IBM started this silliness when it started a marketing campaign code named 'Watson' and now I guess everyone should hire consultants to find out how to get some 'AI'.

  16. You admit then it's just more of the same of what we have experienced the last 25 years. Why is it now suddenly AI? It's just a marketing gimmick.

  17. Re:Sure, when it happens on Executives Say AI Will Change Business, But Aren't Doing Much About It (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Sure, it's more elaborate but it's just an algorithm. Nobody thought Google was AI when they released their search engine and it was pretty. Because this is mostly an underhanded marketing tactic aimed at buzzword compliant PHBs it is precisely the reason why companies should avoid a vendor using the term AI and stick with real solutions.

    The difference between the two is thoroughly discussed elsewhere on the internet. Maybe I have too much 'I' to repeat it here, or am just too lazy.

    Yes, and that's led to automation. Like looking at x-rays or searching case law. But don't call it AI.

    Web 2.0 has run its course and IOT is stillborn they are grasping at straws.

    Pattern recognition is not 'AI'. Maybe when some actual AI is developed companies will adjust to it.
