    Russians should then ignore elections and start submitting A.I.'s that get the 60M dumb asses to buy "disruptive" products? The stupid part of this suggestion is that it's not illegal. Crap.

  3. Re:You have to look at the source on Do Strongly Typed Languages Reduce Bugs? (acolyer.org) · · Score: 1

    A computer language is either strongly typed, or not. Other types of errors, usually not based on "type" is another set of problems. If the compiler cannot evaluate Type Definitions created by the programmer, then the compiler fails at being strongly typed. This entire debate goes nowhere, if the compiler cannot handle checking type defs, then programmers work around it. And if the programmer tries to change the language, then most times, a new programmer is brought in.

    You just happen to touch upon 2 things I know something about. Lets start reading what I've stated, did you see the word "only" at the END OF THE F**KING SENTENCE? Modded Insightful? Duh. You do realize the Critical Thinking happening here gets more complex as we proceed? Cooking meat? The topic is Strongly Typed Language; try to stay focused, princess.

    If one uses Strongly Typed Languages, one gets fewer Strongly Typed Language errors; only.

    Maybe Twitter should have said that the Kardashian's use Twitter to market products of others. In other words, become someone to be "followed." And by using "Suggestive Marketing" make a pitch for your product?

    Well, I'm not a tax person, but until the laws the change, I'd think it would be, "ad revenue."

    The advertisers primary job is not to sell, but to inform that the product exists. As a side note, 99% of all business models fail within the first 24 months of business because no one knows the product exists.

    I began to imagine a Consumer Reports solution here. Where product's benefits are quantified. But there will be difficulty in quantifying the Cool Factor.

    Given the globally publicized break ins to such companies like Equifax, our personal data is now a commodity that can be purchased for what ever reasons. Clearly there will be a new industry, Credit Corrections. How Credit Car companies handle fraud, is to pass the cost to the retailer as a, "Shop Lifting Issue." Now the question emerges as, "Can Average Joe, or Average Jane, A/J, handle types of fraud on them like a business can?" The short answer is, "Hell No." That means when this type of fraud builds up to the size of a Carbuncle, laws will be made. These laws will not stop the grinning show-off, but will help A/J by saying to Creditors to ignore certain types of events.

    So we are discussing levels of chatbot sophistication? If so, then the chatbot should have some method of communicating that there are several paths that one can take, or procedures that one can complete. That's realistic for chatbots.

    The Mortgage is one set of documents, the sale of the home another set. Escrow handles both. And most folks get a mortgage to buy a house.

  18. Wouldn't the question be, "where is the link to the chatbot?" Which makes me wonder, is there a forum where folks can ask questions like the ones you've presented, and J.Browder, et.al. consider?

  19. Maybe this legal tactic could be handled by communicating to defense attorneys that deal with this stuff? The next step is to update the chatbot accordingly?

  20. I'm thinking that this chatbot is the kind of A.I. that Elan Musk and friends might be worried about? Consider the possibilities, if this solution were applied to the likes of, say, Wells Fargo?
