The only reason you have a black and white Liberal - Conservative divide in the US is the mathematics of how your electoral system works. Other countries with sane electoral systems actually have shades of grey.
I would rather work in raw HTML 1.0 using ED than try and write anything sophisticated in a program like Word Oh come on. Admit it. You're just exaggerating.
In our physically-limited universe it probably just means "reaching something very different very fast". In our physically limited universe it just means the person making the claim is an idiot.
Listing things than can go wrong doesn't make it go away No. Anything which is intelligent will be just as fallible as we are. There's no such thing as perfect knowledge and the knowledge encoded into a brain is specific to whatever you've been learning.
First. The Singularity. Nothing increases exponentially for ever in the real world, anyone who suggests otherwise is a fool or a fraudster (including bankers and politicians).
Second. Even assuming that we can make an artificial intelligence, what on earth makes anyone think it isn't going to have the same problems we do? It's going to be based on a very similar architecture to our brains. That means it's going to make mistakes just the way we do. Hell, it's going to be a pattern matching machine, it might even get religion.
Third. If it takes $50 million a year to run what's basically a human simulation, you're probably better off with a couple of real humans.
It's clearly a clone of Transformers, which was about as shit as you get. So what? Someone decides to copy it because they can't think of anything better?

TurboPascal was great. Or is it Delphi now?
I still need a blue screen to write code quickly.
Replace the wings with an envelope and you can stay up for weeks.
Yeah, cos the price of Diesel will only go down in the future.
Belief in exclusivity is what drives business, and innovation. Giving something away just lowers the apparent value.
Burn it. External Combustion Engine to power a generator.
Cool. Globalisation works.
Well, you could also switch from a form of transport which is 12% efficient to something better.
Yeah, you joke. That's exactly how the politicians will spin it.
What's that as a level of investment? $50,000pa?

Sadly, please mod insightful.
Only 1,199,999,700 left to go.
I would have tied them on to a long distance lorry.

Damnit. The bad guys get all the best software!
Is making crap considered a good idea?

And he's the boss!
What chance to the rest of us have?
You forgot to add "dude".
Christ, the standard is really slipping.
