  1. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bin on Ask Slashdot: Should You Use Password Managers? · · Score: 1

    . and of course there is a dark side to it.. Answer for me is yes though.. Pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/) does it nicely with great GIT integration.

  2. Windows ME creator unveils the truth about AI on Bill Gates: AI Is The 'Holy Grail' (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    Premise: I disagree with the fact that AI dev would produce "beings" that "think" like us. At a side, I agree with the fact that AI dev would produce "beings" that will do and learn tasks that could (at some point) make human beings redundant.

    "He (mr Gates) talked about two of the challenges AI will pose: a loss of existing jobs, and making sure humans remain in control of super-intelligent machines."

    That sentence is just preposterous for me: I think that in the last 200000 years of human evolution we can say that the most intelligent being has prevailed, flawlessly. Then he reportedly says...

    "He plans to talk with others about ideas to combat the threat of AI controlling humans, specifically noting work being done at Stanford."

    Now, how is it possible to "control" and prevail over such theoretical superior being? By creating a retarted but safer version? and who or what may stops other human beings to just avoid such safety/ethical measures.. last time we learnt something cool like that it was when we found out that we could split the atom and harvest energy from it... and that went all cool and ethical and under control.. easy peasy
