Our species has not evolved past bullshit like racial bias therefore the shitty excuse for AI we have, that has zero capability to think for itself, only reflects who we are like a perfect mirror: humans are racist, therefore the shitty AI is racist, too, and there's no fixing it, any attempt to make it unbiased will just be scoffed at and devalued by the assholes among our species that has embraced racism; they'll dismiss it as 'liberal bias'.
Well, clearly and objectively you'd be one of the ones running around like a chicken with your head cut off, waving your arms in abject panic, being part of the problem instead of part of the solution. Meanwhile, people who can keep their heads and who know how to do things would be working to alleviate the situation -- assuming that is people like, apparently, you, weren't getting in the way.:-)
Better put your affairs in order, Zuckerbook, the TechReaper is coming for you. All the signs and portents are present!
Time to bail out of Zuckerbook, folks. Zuckerbook is Old and Busted, time to scamper off to the New Hotness, whatever that is.
Really, leaving now will do Zuckerbook a favor by making it's death swifter.
If there was some freak incident that knocked out every computer on the planet and prevented us from building more, there would be widespread chaos, yes -- but our civilization would recover from that and manage to thrive again regardless.
In many ways we've become too dependent on computers in one form or another, and spend way too much time paying attention to them instead of everything else. In many ways, we'd be better off if there were fewer of them than there are right now. Just eliminating smartphones alone would solve a number of problems we're having right now.
As-is, the question posed by this article is absurd; there's no rational answer for it.
For the second time today we see evidence that the poor excuse for AI they keep trotting out, in this case probably the most advanced version of it, even, is crap. I maintain that without understanding how a biological brain actually is able to think, there's no way these throw-it-at-the-wall-and-see-if-it-sticks guesses at an approach are going to ever be real AI -- and since we don't have the instrumentality to really truly see how a biological brain works, and map it's connections, in a living subject, we'll have to wait for that technology to be invented before we'll have any chance at real artificial intelligence. All your so-called 'deep learning algorithms' just don't cut it and never will; at best they're a small part of the real approach, one component in a vast system of interconnected systems that we haven't even scratched the surface of how they all work yet. And some of you people want to entrust your lives and the lives of your families to these. Madness.
Listen, buddy: I may have voted for Obama, but I far from agreed with everything he did, and assuming (like the fucktard a few above you here) that everything has to be extremes in one direction or the other is just fucked up, too. I voted for Obama because the alternative was even worse. But I didn't agree with or wanted the ACA, I think it's wrong to force someone to purchase something they may not want or need or can really afford; it's a drain on me financially, personally. I also don't agree with the way he handled some foreign matters. But meanwhile, just like always, because the wheels of government turn very slowly, Trump is taking credit for things Obama did that are just showing their positive effects now, and by the way let's be honest about it: the Bush Administration more or less took a sledgehammer to the toilets (so to speak) when they left office, leaving Obama with a gods-be-damned mess to clean up, and in the middle of a recession (which one could argue was because of so many years of one Bush or the other) so he was way down in the red just to start with, and I think that being considered he did a pretty damned good job overall even if I didn't agree with everything he did or said. Meanwhile Donald Trump is trying to drag the United States back to about 1940 socially and poltically, he keeps appointing extremists of one degree or another, many of which are flat-out corrupt, most of which seem to have their own agendas that have nothing to do with serving the United States of America, and he's about as untrustworthy overall as anyone could possibly be. I didn't vote for the son of a bitch, I didn't vote for Clinton because I don't trust her either (but I may as well have), I voted for the Green Party candidate (who was it, even, I don't even remember now!) because so far as I'm concerned you MUST vote. But I'm not going to sit here and listen to someone talking to ***ME*** like I'm some robot that just repeats what he's told to repeat, I was not affililated with ANY political party before about 3 months ago and now I HAVE to be Democrat to help restore some sense of balance to this countrys' government, which if you didn't notice has gone COMPLETELY out-of-balance, and like a poorly loaded washing machine on spin-cycle it's threatening to tear itself apart because half or less of the people in this country are having their interests addressed, the rest are functionally-speaking being told to FUCK OFF and quite frankly that makes me wonder if there's going to BE a country much longer. So excuse me if I'm not going to sit on my hands like some fucking coward and keep my mouth shut, I'll make all the noise I want to about this, it's my DUTY as a citizen of this country to utilize my right to freedom of speech and speak out about things I think are wrong. I don't HAVE to 'suppor the president' or his Administration, that's not what this country is about, it's not a dictatorship, dissent is part of our national DNA, and I'll be damned if anyone on either side of the aisle is going to hush me up just because they don't like what I have to say.
I call 'em like I see 'em. If you're going to make fucktarded statements like some genetic throwback, then maybe you are. Besides, it's not like anyone pulls their punches with me or anyone else, so why the fuck shouldn't I? BTW you're likely another fucktarded Trumpite therefore you can fuck ott too.
Yeah, sure, 'traitors and asshats' that will actually protect the environment (you know, the air you breathe, the water you drink, and so on), not allow the destruction of animal species for no damned good reason, that won't destroy public education in favor of 'vouchers' that only benefit The Rich and leave The Poor and middle-class with shit schools and shit teachers, not sabotage the national economy with 'tax cuts' that only benefit The Rich and fuck over everyone else, not have a neo-nazi heading up the DoJ, not shit on the long-time allies of the U.S., not piss off the entire world with heavy-handed 'trade tariffs' instead of taking a more thoughtful and measured approach, not tearing apart families for having the almighty GALL to want to get their children away from violent regimes and violent drug cartels, not hand the Internet to greedy ISPs on a silver platter, fucking over the American consumer in the process, not appoint neo-nazis to the Supreme Court, helping drag us back socio-politically to the 1940's, and so on, and so on, and so on. Get your heads out of your asses and stop helping fuck over the country you live in, you mongoloids.
Obviously that NFC chip will link Trump to the C&C server Putin has set up to give Trump orders as to what he should work on sabotaging next. Russian cyberoperatives have clearly demonstrated their proficiency in hacking into any system they want, so hacking into whatever media server that chip links to should be trivial for them. Orders and other relevant data embedded in media files (a common steganography technique) can then be easily retrieved and decoded by Trump and no one would be the wiser.
Many people think of cars as transportation fashion accessories. Can't have one that's out of style!
Okay, I'll buy that explanation, even though the mindset is foreign and frivolous to me.
These people are the market for "Cars as a service."
But, as I do somewhat understand the concept of 'status symbols' even to the point of 'conspicuous consumption', it's only really valid if you own something; just 'renting' or 'borrowing' it is cheating and identifies you as a poseur; stet?
Who the fuck buys a new car 'every couple years'? Are you rich? Or are you dumb? Properly maintained a modern car should last you AT LEAST 10 years. If it doesn't then you're clearly not doing it right.
I am starting it by opening a dialogue with people on the Internet about it.
What the hell is your problem? Are you one of these people who just accepts whatever it is that's going on and doesn't care? Can't even be bothered to discuss what's going on?
Haha that's very nice. Now could I get a real answer from someone who knows what they're talking about and not some fucktard AC talking out of his ass?
This is about more than banks. Like I said elsewhere: when the lights go out and stay out, water stops coming out of the taps, and everyones' bank accounts are drained, then suddenly everyone will care -- and it'll be TOO FUCKING LATE. Shit needs to be FIXED, NOW.

MFW what he means is 'anyone over 25'
Oh noes, you might have to (shocking!!1!) have face-to-face conversations with people! How will you EVER recover?
Well, clearly and objectively you'd be one of the ones running around like a chicken with your head cut off, waving your arms in abject panic, being part of the problem instead of part of the solution.

Just don't make ANY reboots 'automatic', let the user decide when that happens and trigger it manually.
Or, you know, you could dump Microsoft entirely and get Linux, and take back control over your hardware.

Everything in my world has to be either one extreme or the other extreme, there can't be ANY COMPROMISES of any kind!
Fuck off. I can't even tell anymore which of you are just the garden-variety trolls and which of you really as as fucktardedly stupid as you sound.
Traitors and asshats

Yeah no shit. The New World Order: You own NOTHING, only The Rich own things, you pay RENT on EVERYTHING, FOREVER. Don't fall for their bait, people.
