  1. Re:Is A.I. Ready for Prime Time? on How Canada Ended Up As An AI Superpower · · Score: 1

    This is really cool to consider various A.I.'s that are in use today by businesses; for commerce. The subtle application I am in search of is an A.I. that does not represent some mercantile oriented transaction; but as a 3rd party observer in nature. As any observer of elementary economics will agree, "Customers" are the other half of the economic cycle. My search is for a Customer positioned solutoin.

    The kinds of questions I have are a little bit more, cost orientated. Currently I am very interested in topics like Health Care, Auto topics, and Taxes. I guess maybe Wolfram has already solved those singular issues. But it's the questions I will have that A.I. needs to be able to solve for that I would measure usefulness by.

    Can you suggest a source to try?

  4. Is A.I. Ready for Prime Time? on How Canada Ended Up As An AI Superpower · · Score: 0

    Can I download an A.I. program and have it help me with my tasks and issues? It has to be general purpose in nature, and adaptable to a single person's world view point. It has to constructively inform. From what I can see, A.I. is not there, yet.

    I believe the Big Stick policy was deemed obsolete several decades ago. It's amazing to people in charge are basically not accomplishing their duties because they ignored middle school history class.

    I was thinking Trump was like a blind squirrel, and that this time he found an acorn. Maybe North and South Korea don't need Cadet Bone Spurs to help each other out. And with a direct route to Peking from Soul through Pyongyang, elementary economics could easily be applied here.

  8. until resources are consumed. Or unless someone invents Star Trek's Replicator technology. Then robots will be firmly obsolete. which has me humming the melody sung by Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" My apologies to the Black Mirror.

  9. I am reminded of the last words the scorpion said the to turtle, "because I am a scorpion" Dumb ass billionaires that think an apex predators will ever cut them some slack deserve their fate.

  10. What is very interesting is if one were to create a 3 Laws machine; what would the source code be? Before even that, what would the definition of "harm" be? Currently, automation is growing to the point that optimal solutions are not done by single units, but by systems of units being combined. One has to ask, "will robots be obsolete?"

  11. Re:Causation on Amazon Threatens To Move Jobs Out of Seattle Over New Tax (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Consider another solution; where ever Amazon moves to, ship the homeless there. Seattle's problem is solved.

  12. i know it sounds funny, but with more and more automation occurring, and as it occurs people lose jobs. with white collar rule followers losing their jobs to software that runs on rules. and people lose more jobs that support both the blue and white collar folks. So when humanity passes a threshold of machines doing a large percentage of jobs; people will just not be working any more, because the machines are doing them. so while we are all laughing, something is going to have to change. nobody is going to kill the geese that lay the golden eggs, but will the billionaires elite be allowed to adjust our feeding troffs?

  13. given that humanity is approaching a star trek based economy, will billionaires be so open minded?

    There are other parallels of this business model. m$ will still be around, like itty bitty machines, but their relevance will be small.

    A.I. is a search algorithm. But sometimes the results generate more questions, than answers.

    Well, that is the job of the military. My job is to pay the rent on the first. Personally, I would be very interested in an A.I. that that was always working for my best interests; that no one had access to.

    These are the same folks that are stating A.I. is dangerous, but are using forms of A.I. to make their revenues. And their business model has nothing to do about nationalism. I believe their meeting will be Huuge.

    Well now that you've brought up the S&P folks. A minor look at the stock fluctuation shows is that one could have easily made $50 a share by buying when the stock it bottomed. But I really don't think production was altered by the fluctuation.
