    So a mentally unbalanced young man can come unglued hearing synthesized voices and becomes a criminal.

    Not sure there is a lesson here other than another justification for concealed carry, probably best someone put that two-legged animal down

    You are ignorant of the processing power a game with thousands of players require. No wonder you post AC, you know nothing and would be shunned and marginalized.

  4. Re:IT'S NOT A FLESHWOUND, IT'S A FUCKING ROBOT on A Doctor Remotely Told A Patient He Was Going To Die Using A Video-Link Robot (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    No it is not a robot, does not meet the Oxford definition of one I posted. It is merely a remote controlled machine. Putting servos to control your car's rack and pinion steering rather than a direct mechanical connection doesn't make your car a robot either.

    No it is provably a matter of deaths and maiming because of this stupidity of screwing around with the clock.

    Get a dictionary, then you can be a pedant.

    Robot: (noun) a machine resembling a human being and able to replicate certain human movements and functions automatically.

    A remotely controlled machine is not a robot. The voice telling him he would die was the doctors. He spoke the truth. If you can't handle the truth of someone near death's fate stay out of hospitals. Life is cruel and a bitch, then you die.

    not a great reason to do anything. this is not a security concern at all. drive has to be flashed with malware, then the people next to a office PC have to yell at each other. This won't work in a data center server for reasons only those never in a data center would need explanation.

    It's a non-issue. Someone could put an underwater camera and mike in your toilet and record you jacking off and taking a shit too. It's that level of concern...

    wait that's the wrong order. First you have to ask for permission to shut down the computer, remove and reflash a hard drive with bad wares, and reinsert and boot up the machine. But don't worry, no one will think this is suspicious at all.

    Pffft, this is some kind of security news? for idiots.

    Sweden isn't the norm though, I was speaking of planet earth, which gets 80% its power from fossil fuel, centuries into the industrial revolution. Sure, I'd like that to change but reality can't be denied.

  17. Haha, you believe the marketing hype about "artificial intelligence" . Those of us who have to work with those AI wankers know it's all smoke and mirrors and nothing new for decades.

    There is no threat from AI to lawyers, doctors, etc. No one is going to trust the diagnosis of a machine despite the hype stories you swallowed.

    Yes civilization recently started using nuclear and other types of power... 80% comes from fossil fuel though.
