It was a completely new and unknown asset, starting at zero. It's virtually impossible to go from that to a stable value X without volatility on the way.
More traders usually means volatility goes down. Volatility is determined by average sentiment moving around. The larger the group, the less the average moves.
An artificially created picture is not photo (or even set of photos) of a real physical object.
The objects that trick the AI are also artificially created. The turtle has specific patterns on its shell. If you'd print a 3D turtle, and put the circles on it, the cat would still think they were moving. It's very much a similar thing.
The day an AI can return "Answer A, Answer A&B, and Answer Z which you forgot to list in the possibilities", and reason their way through it, you can say we have AI.
When I look at the dress, I only see white/gold, so I failed your test despite not being an AI.
Simple colour measurements on the original image determine this quite conclusively as does the purchaser and manufacturers of the dress.
Pixel values are light blue/yellowish-brown. And whatever the manufacturer says is irrelevant for my perception. I believe what they are saying, but that doesn't change what I see.
so it's definitely feasible to craft an image that humans classify one way but is in an area of the distribution where the AI is likely to misclassify it.
It's also possible to do it the other way around: craft an image that humans misclassify. Or cats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Vandalizing street signs has been possible for a long time, just remove one street sign, and replace it with another. I don't think this has ever been a wide scale problem.
If nothing else, all of our radio and TV broadcasts we've got zipping around all over the planet probably attract some attention, if intelligent life is looking.
Unlikely. To detect an analog TV broadcast from Pluto, you'd need something on the order of an Arecibo disk. From a few light years away, it would require a dish many miles across. And out of the 4.5 billion years that the Earth has existed, we've been broadcasting these signals for less than 100 years. For any alien to pick up our signals, it would require: close proximity to us, huge receiver dishes, perfectly aimed, perfect timing.
Modern transmissions are all digital, which are even harder to pick out, because they look like wide spectrum noise.
The estimate that TFA says is to high is 36 gigawatts, almost 8 times higher than my estimate.
The difference is that your calculation (which I agree with) doesn't take into account the status quo. Because bitcoin prices have risen so much lately, the mining capacity is trailing behind.
At the status quo level, when people stop building additional mining rigs, the total power cost will be slightly lower than the total profit, which is 1800 bitcoin reward per day, plus the transaction fees.
There are a shit-load more idle chargers than there will ever be mining rigs.
A mining "rig" is a useless metric, because they vary wildly in size.
A popular miner is the Antminer S9, running at 0.1 Joule/GH. Current hashrate is 13 million TH/sec, so about 1.3 Gigawatts, plus overhead for power supplies and cooling. An idle charger uses less than 1 W, so we're talking about the equivalent of maybe 2-3 billion idle chargers.
I had a fitbit for a few months. The heart rate monitor was a piece of crap. Sometimes it didn't work at all, and when it did display a number, it was often wrong. After a few months, the band started to come apart, and I threw it away.
As a society becomes more advanced, violence plummets.
No violence plummets when you have such an abundance of natural resources that you don't have to worry about dividing them. Discovery of large oil and gas fields have helped a lot. As the oil is going to run out in the next century, and population rises over 10 billion, plus major climate change in some areas of the world, you'll see conflicts return.
And as far as 'more advanced', I have my doubts too. It's starting to look like Idiocy was a documentary.

Because they thought bitcoins were useful
I think bitcoins are useful, but I'm not mining myself.
They find the original course of belief again though other knowledge of the world
Sometimes, yes, but plenty of times people move on, not realizing they saw the wrong thing.
Neither did you.
But everything is easily verified using a few google searches.
An AI image classification system already outputs multiple answers with probabilities.
Show me a vision system that can take any photograph of any road, and decide whether or not it should stop the car.
A human vision system can't do that either. Plenty of accidents are caused by a human driver misinterpreting what's in front of them.

True for this particular example, yes, but there are plenty of optical illusions that persist even when rotated.
if you asked it to tell you WHY it was a rifle, and it could pick out features on the image that look like a rifle from a certain angle, yes
Is the dress white/gold or blue/black? Use reasoning.

Many humans are also easily fooled into thinking that this is just a plain brick wall:

You clearly know nothing of available cryptocurrencies if you think one cannot do mining at home. Have a peep at zcash.
The whole discussion is about bitcoin.

You just don't award much for mining. The whole thing is insane.
If there was no reward for mining, why would people invest the money to do it ?

Or the technology can be used for better weapons.
laughing their asses off at how stupid and primitive we are.
To think that we're worthy of a visit is the arrogance of the highest order.
They'll just destroy the solar system, and use the mass as fuel for the next trip.
