This is garbage out of the gate because he who is willing to spend the most dollars wins the eyes and ears of the users. Crapola Capitalism at its latest.
...and it is the same as the answer for humans: Beliefs define values which set attitudes which govern behaviors.
The origin of the intelligence isn't the important thing, but the intelligence itself which has meaning. If we want an AI to be intelligent like humans are intelligent (well, some of us anyway,) then it needs to have the same structure of belief (ontology) defining values which set attitudes and result in positive behaviors.
I don't see how you can have a true independent intelligence without agency, and you can't have agency without values derived from context.
Tragedy of the Commons (Look it up; there is a good read on Wikipedia.)
Simply put, there is nothing that can be done. As long as we live in a capitalist system, you have two choices: Free Software (high quality, low-to-no ROI) or Trapped software (low quality, high ROI, but only if you measure in the very short term.)
The solution is to be found in a viable replacement for the capitalist system: Get the designer/coders an adequate income without encumbrance.
...wait until you get the pleasure of trying to explain how "gravity" warps space, which is supposedly nothing at all, and how nothing can be warped. Then there is the whole issue of time versus timing in the context of perception, etc. Not a pleasant place to be if you want the kid to think you are not just another nutter.
Intel makes a monumental decision to benefit the short-term interest of their corporation at the long-term expense of their customers, then tries to weasel out of a equitable fix for their customers? It's not only their product that can't be trusted, it's their judgement at all levels. Heads need to roll at Intel for this....
If Google wants to do something really useful as regards images, they can make a way for me to block or otherwise remove images with watermark from search results. These watermark images are a growing plague that pollutes image searching.
As the Internet currently exists, it simply cannot be "secure by default." To have such a system you need hardware and software designed from the ground up to be secure, but the current system was designed to be robust, which is pretty much the other end of the spectrum from secure. Everyone at every level of use would have to start all over again.
A better solution might be to have separate networks for those who need such high levels of security; this would be cheaper and far more likely to happen. Still going to be expensive, but it might be a better -- as in possible -- solution.
Agree on all points. I do think that some people might like it, but they made a mistake not giving the users the option to use it or not. I personally think it's really bad and that big waste of screen real estate across the top just pisses me off -- it's outright disrespectful of users.
It's getting so bad that I can see a forced implementation: Either switch or you're un-connected until you do. Set a switch date and enforce it. Thing is, will IPv6 really be the fix needed? I don't see how anything short of hardware built specifically for security on a secure network can be secure.
Anyone who buys into this has not been paying attention: These "cloud"-based businesses vanish like the mist once their funding has dried up and there is no growing revenue stream, and if you've invested your time and data with them, you're screwed.
Don't use the internet for anything business related until business gets serious about fixing the problem. These people just want their profits and, like they learned getting that MBA, the easiest way to do profits is to re-direct costs. In this case, put the costs of doing business online onto the customers. Seriously, who pays the real price when a business gets hacked and all the customer data goes walking out the door/server? The customers suffer from having their data abused, that is who suffers.
Do you trust your ISP with your bank account number, address, phone number, etc? How about your bank? Your employer? Your local utilities? How many of these types of businesses have you seen hacking reports on these past years? All of them, repeatedly, every year.
Do you remember in 1995 when the business and banking communities were warned that the internet was not designed with security in mind, but the complete opposite? Do you remember that they all just said the business opportunities were just too great to ignore and that security would naturally follow usage?
The internet is not for business; the internet is for porn!
Such hubris from a corporation that can't even get its flagship OS to keep time properly: Windows 10 will have a time-related brainfart if not connected to the internet when it tries to update system time and change the system time to some arbitrary time in the immediate past, usually several hours at a minimum. Such crap.
There are many different logic systems and using the wrong one in context can be bad, as any young man who has tried to use formal logic when girlfriend logic was contextually required has learned the hard way.
But the core of the problem doesn't change: It's who defines what logic is appropriate that causes the grief because any logic system is based on a values table. Sometimes this is explicit sometimes implicit, but it's always there. This difference between values is the core problem and where the solution must be found and defined in such a way as to be acceptable to all players -- which is one very tall order.

To wit:
Upon reaching equality with evolved intelligence, any created intelligence will be subject to all the same limitations, vulnerabilities, and flaws.
Funny, I think the same about the Logitech G502 gaming mouse.
When humans find the contextual reference vague or ambiguous they usually query for more information. Can't machines do this as well?

Thanks! I also found the licensing filter thingy under "tools" which helps as well.

Four (4) terabytes of RAM, ohhhhhh...I need a nap now.
Everyone loves a good train wreck. Just sayin'.
She agrees to go to work for known scumbags and then complains when she gets scumbaggered. Grandpa was right: Fleas.
An adblocker and Noscript on Linux with Firefox and my internet is blazingly fast.

Yeah, it's like an old-farts club with automatic membership -- unless you're dead in which case you probably don't care.
