Bhagwan Chowdhry, [snip] Anything that requires judgment is something humans will continue to do. He is so wrong. The people owning the AIs won't care about careful or correct judgement - it won't affect them; c.f. the RoboDebt scandal in Australia (an automated mailing of demand notices to welfare recipients where the algorithm was wrong and the notices weren't vetted before dispatch)
A nice sentiment but I suspect we'll actually be feasting on the corpses left by the autonomous kill-bots patrolling the perimeters of the rich's enclaves. With advances in laser weapons the 'soylent green' will even be pre-cooked for us.

You're so right about this - autonomous cars are still decades away. In the next 5-10 years we might get cars that can drive on a freeway on a sunny day, and even then you'll still have to be awake behind the wheel.
If a corporation is a "group of people" then surely all those people should get to decide, collectively, to whom the money is donated. This includes workers and shareholders; and where a share-holder is another corporation, the workers and share-holders in that corporation, ad infinitem.
>Having resources when you need it. Lets say you have some seasonal tasks that needs extra horse power (Quarterly Reports, Christmas Rush, Back To School, Exam Time...) so you can request short term extra power to keep up
oh yeah? What about when all the other folks have exactly the same idea? Cloud provider sez: "Err, sorry buddy, no space in the cloud right now... but we might find a little bit you can have for, um, 3 times the price... ah, no, that's just gone to your competitor for 4x but I'm sure we can get it for you at 5x"

lucky bastard! only used windows twice in 50 years!!
This is why I hate arguing with you old farts.
'coz we're right and you're wrong?
we'll have fully automated kill bots
and they will be in the employ of the 1% to keep us off their lawns

So just like cygwin then... except for X of course.

so it's taken since the late 1970's to complete your website? mebbe you should have used a PC instead of your phone! ;->
meh, you're all wrong - the extra syllable is necessary to get the line to scan.
That's a nice little homage to the Grauniad ;-)
But proposing the Daily Mail as a news site is a couple of million miles off target.
And torment me by stubbornly refusing to buy into the bullshit.
FTFY

>Not since they openly held back and released things during the US election timed specifically to harm a candidate.
You actually know this or just repeating an alternative fact you read somewhere?
Have you bothered to consider that maybe they don't get leaks from Russia or China? Nothing leaked - nothing to publish.
>allowing the people to help themselves
but most importantly it must allow the 1% to help themselves to all the money - as they currently do.
I like to reply-all saying:
Standby for the redundancy applications in 3...2..1.
Some people are offended by this.

The majority of the 1% inherited their wealth and most of that wealth can be traced back to some extremely dodgy deal in the past. Eat the rich.

While I agree with the sentiment of your post by saying this you're as much a douche-bag as he is.
If a corporation is a "group of people" then surely all those people should get to decide, collectively, to whom the money is donated. This includes workers and shareholders; and where a share-holder is another corporation, the workers and share-holders in that corporation, ad infinitem.
The real reason we've never seen aliens is because they look like lobsters and if they came here...OM NOM NOM.
fuck the english language
what a strange thing to say!
this ambiguity is the basis of most non-slapstick humour
in fact it is the reason why your nick is amusing...
