The goal of AI was to be humanoid. Recall that I was there. The bar has been lowered, according to TFS to recognize the difference between a 6 and a 9.
So, if you try to free copper from rocks, what will happen is you will start destroying earths supply of rocks, despite the best containment system, if copper is seperated [sic] form [sic]rocks, some copper will be leaked out and will float off into a stream or stuff. This is not sustainable and causes permenant [sic]ecosystem damage. No rocks, nothing to stand on.
... for ALL sources of energy, do we calculate cost, from cradle to grave?
For instance, take wind (could be solar, thermal, and all others).
How do we produce the components that make up the turbines and masts and blades and everything else that is needed? Doesn't that genesis start with mining raw materials and doesn't that process involve fossil fuels just for manufacture? What about the space the turbine masts (solar panels, thermal mechanisms, wires, cables, etc.) occupy? What machinery do we use to dig holes and erect them? Are they fossil fuel driven?
For any source like wind, or solar or thermal and others, what are the costs of disposal?
As a physicist, the law of conservation tells me we are never going to get something for nothing.
It's nice to talk about how well an existing wind turbine works, but I suspect the energy we invest in creating, and disposing of, them is more than the energy we get out of them.

Nothing is wrong. Tesla is right on track to create a test case that will settle things once and for all.
I'm sorry, but Coke® disagrees.
I apologize for reading too much science fiction and the nonfiction computer science, as well.
I won't correct your spelling errors, but here's a site that would benefit you.

If you had studied computer sciense you would know that
Can you distinguish between a 6 and a 9 and stuff?
Actually, you are missing something ... a revenue stream.

In the early days, AI was a simple concept.
No, that is only the case of people in the business changing the marketing hype to adjust for their failure to meet the original definition.

Listen, asshole: I started this digital shit back when Moby Dick was a minnow and I've watched the wilting of the definition of AI over the years.
I didn't write the definition I cited, right?
Yeah, I've always had the power to be the BOFH but I've never given in to the temptation (32 years).
Sorry:
Full Definition of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. 1 : a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers. 2 : the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior.
So you're saying Dilbertize it ... ;p
And it's a fucking misnomer.
Artificial implies not real and intelligence implies thinking.
Artificial intelligence is so unattainable that the original definition has evolved to something meaningless.
True artificial intelligence is when a computer becomes depressed because it lost its connection to Facebook.
... that women who have children don't have time to work but men who have children do?
What percentage of women's down time for giving birth is larger than a man's golfing time?

Every few years, management makes me order it and when I tell them they have to train it, they want ME to train it and then hand it back to them.
Then management bitches because the fucking thing is useless as tits on a boar hog.
In a chat room, I said, "I don't have a Texas accent."
It came out, "I don't have a Texas accident."
Needs work.
What's the one metric?

Maybe we should use Linux.
I apologize for my shortcomings.

However, I don't know that.
Yours hit at 7:45 and mine at 7:49.
You win.
