  1. Unfortunately, that's not going to work, because like with communism, people just don't work that way. If they could solve the problem they were intended to solve, the problem they were intended to solve wouldn't be a problem.

    I expect they've been talking about it since almost the first time they started talking about things.

    You just illustrated one negative aspect to the notion of intellectual property. People do not have exclusivity of ideas. Everything is cliche. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    American here. They don't even begin to cover as much material in the public schools here as they could. They never covered even half of the books and I was reading most of the rest of them. The teachers never encouraged this.

  5. Just how much attention to the thing you are trying to steer do you think it takes? And more importantly why do you think that?

  6. All the posts... on Rich People Pay Less Attention To Other People, Says Study (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 2

    The majority of posts are simply going to assume that spending more time looking at someone is better than not, but case in point people look at things they are afraid of and need time to figure out, longer than things they don't.

    But maybe there would be a lot less people targeting others or they'd set their sights lower, or maybe there aren't as many of them as the US wants everyone to run to them to protect them from. Ever thought of any of that?

  8. Fine, just BIOS operation for you, too! No OS for you, that would be way too complex... In fact, why don't you just ditch these complex computer things and join the strictest Amish-type people you can find.

    Well, if that's how you feel about it, just delete your Operating System and see how far you get with just a BIOS. That should be all the basic functionality you can handle!

    By founders you must be forgetting about the Hamiltonians who definitely did want all that stuff and is why instead of not giving the government power, the Constitution contains so many provisions against using the power the government was given because the Hamiltonians knew they could go back on all the exclusions they were granted.

  11. Why is it preferable to companies waging war on their own behalf? From what little I can tell it it preferable that companies wage war on their own behalf... from what little I can tell.

  12. This would have been a prime time for you to point out what you think it should be counted as, but you stopped short at arguing he had simply misfiled it under subsidy.

  13. Because the only worthwhile thing to accomplish is to build intergalactic nuclear bombardment facilities to nuke anything that fails to build intergalactic nuclear bombardment faciliities. Or was that neurotoxin plants. What were we talking about again? Your name wouldn't happen to be G.L.A.D.O.S. or Ripley, would it?

  14. We like to believe that we have come a long way from the pharaoes of old, but have we really?

  15. I had health insurance before Obamacare, I had health insurance after. Nothing much changed in my costs.

  16. Alright, I've read more of the actual article and the CTO does not seem to understand emotional intelligence. The AI makes statements indicating its own emotional intelligence. That awareness can help people understand how various segments of the population, such as voters or potential hirers might view the way they express emotions. That is what is actually happening here.

  17. Absolutely. That is just one sentence written by the article writer. Anything of any substance is only about the AI's emotional intelligence.

  18. I think there is a misunderstanding somewhere. This appears to be an assessment of the AI's emotional intelligence and not the candidates''.

    The article seems to be confused, or at least the title. This sounds like an assessment of the AI's emotional intelligence and not the candidates'.

  20. I don't need to be led.

    Another perspective: Help people only when they want help otherwise beggar off. That's a rule of thumb I use but allow for situations where the help is appreciated after the fact.

    I am preparing to teach the AI to be the me I wish I was and then I can finally go the way of Lain: https://youtu.be/iAo-LFDTxB8

  24. No, it is his friend's AI that throws the magic Frisbee with the commands to terminate the MCP.

  25. I have worked hard to figure out the mindset of the people who are described in the Bible. Right now we can talk about generations of people replacing those who came before but from what I can tell the nation of Israel was just as much Israel as Jacob was when he first acquired the title. The AI of the future will replace us the same way we now think of generations replacing us, and I intend to have representation within that reality. Wheher that future AI generation is me or not is a philosophical notion. I am not the 'me' of my youth. That person may as well be dead and gone for purposes of philosophy. So it will be with me and any future AI. I am already more like a Time Lord regeneration being than most people think of themselves as. No wonder the Doctor barely sleeps. It brings him that much closer to a sort of death.
