  1. Re:Smoking Guns on 100-Page Report Warns of the Many Dangers of AI (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    What a fucked-up mind you must have. AI isn't superpowers. It's just another tool. Russia doesn't need an AI to launch a nuclear holocaust, and neither does China, nor does the US. The US was not only first, they're the only ones to have ever used them in war, yet we still had the Cold War and we are worried about NK and Iran. The same will happen to AI. Maybe. If it ever provides a capability qualitatively different than what we have without it.

    The term artificial means "made by humans". The AI may also be synthetic, but it will always be artificial. Perhaps no one makes the distinction because the terms are not mutually-exclusive, you fucked-up shit.

    What makes AI scarier than the software controlling nuclear facilities or nuclear weapons? Humans can wipe each other out and persecute each other without the help of AI. This scare-mongering is stupid, and makes you look like a retarded dipshit.

    problem is once they do learn to think (if that's even possible, who knows) is that they will outpace us in capability very quickly

    Pure speculation.

  5. Why would the human magically become unemployable? Is the AI going to dig ditches?

    That's OK, I predict 10% replacement in 5 trillion years. If it's a little sooner, that's OK.

    You're a shit business owner if you consider those you pay the most to automatically be your most expensive employees. What about something as sensible as letting go the workers whose work the AI is doing?

  8. Re:People will be pawns to business AI on AI Experts Say Some Advances Should Be Kept Secret (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Here's a definition of AI that should work for everyone: a system that can contrive a solution to a stated problem, using nothing more than its own programming and its own choice of inputs.

  9. You are a clear liar. Why don't you go find a nice deep pit to fall into?

    Insurance is priced based on expected payout, and not the value of the item insured. While there is definitely a correlation between the two, an iMac spends its time immobile, usually on a desk. The phone is typically used anywhere but a desk.

  11. All electronics create radio emissions. It's just that usually, they are too weak, or the wrong frequency, to interfere with anything.

    Switching apps is more about being able to handle the data, and not where that data comes from. Distributed storage only helps for availability, not usability.

    Right. Because people editing video with the intent to commit fraud are going to use such software. Are you this much of an idiot in real life, or is it a slashdot persona?

    I used the Alpha port of NT, including FX!32 emulation for x86, at my university's lab. It was never popular, but it was available outside of MS.

    In Israel, you see teen-agers (18+) and up walking around with semi-automatic rifles. People claim Israelis are racists, yet Israel has not had a mass-shooting like this since the psycho Baruch Goldstein, some 30 years ago. If the most rabid Settlers don't do it, then Americans have a lot to learn about gun safety and consideration for life.

    Office for Windows was the port, actually. Though it wasn't an actual port, but a rewrite that was mostly-compatible with documents created on the Mac version.
