Use OBS. It's Free and open source, easy to use and full of features. I've seen other people post videos that were recorded using Nvidia Shadowplay. You know how I could tell? Because there were fucking popups all the time showing it!
That's an unfair comparison, don't you think? The whole point of the draw Muhammad contest was to inflame radical Muslims by practically inviting them to a gathering of gun enthusiasts.
I don't remember a lot of details about the baseball shooting, but I imagine those targets were pretty far away and spread out if he was shooting people on a baseball field. It doesn't sound like a big crowd of people.
I know they've been working on this for a while in both Brood War and SC2, but the bots still aren't good yet.
Our initial investigations show that our agents perform well on these mini-games. But when it comes to the full game, even strong baseline agents, such as A3C, cannot win a single game against even the easiest built-in AI. For instance, the following video shows an early-stage training agent (left) which fails to keep its workers mining, a task that humans find trivial. After training (right), the agents perform more meaningful actions, but if they are to be competitive, we will need further breakthroughs in deep RL and related areas.
Totally, it's all very interesting. Technology advancements are one of the few things that keep me interested in the future.
You bring up another daydream that I have sometimes. Just like we're talking about raising AI, I think about raising an AI like a baby. I'd imagine to do this, you'd have to give it some kind of a body to operate and sensors to process input from the world. Try to raise it as a person first, and then later try to teach it more advanced things once it sufficiently knows how to act human. Of course, the big problem with this is biology. Humans don't exactly learn all things they know. Some things are intuitive and ingrained in our DNA. We seek out patterns, recognize faces, and feel at least some empathy naturally.
Another train of thought that comes from this is a generic science AI bot. I wonder if something like this could be created with the sole purpose making scientific discoveries. Teach it everything we know about physics and different scientific disciplines, and have it generate experiments that it can simulate and then we can carry out. Maybe I'll see FTL travel in my lifetime!
There was that recent story about video games and machine learning and how long it takes humans and AIs to learn to play a custom video game. One of the conclusions they came to was that humans learned their custom video game faster because of societal queues that they already know from outside of the video game. For example, they saw a man and assumed that was their character, saw a ladder and assumed they had to walk over and press up, jump across gaps, jump over what must be bad guys since they have angry faces. Their machine learning bot took a lot longer to learn the game since it was trying to figure out a lot more details about the game than the humans did.
This got me thinking: why hasn't anyone created a more generic AI that learns how to play *TONS* of our old video games? Start them off with older games and work them up to newer and newer ones. This way it would carry all those past experiences and draw upon them when faced with a new and unfamiliar video game. It would have knowledge of the meta of video games. I think this would be awesome, but scary at the same time. Could you imagine an AI that learned everything it knows about humans through video games only?
How about the facts of how internet access has changed over the years? Back in the dialup days all you needed to get online was a phone line. If you wanted to be an ISP, all you needed for customers to connect to you was phone lines. The same was kind of true for DSL. In modern times, your internet comes from cable or (gasp) wireless carriers. With the lack of competition, it's much easier for the few big internet companies to piss off their consumers with stuff like throttling because consumers have no alternative.
So the system works as intended? When a vehicle stops and blocks traffic (whether intentional or due to a crash or breaking down), traffic is routed away from it. What's the problem here?
Why is this a problem? I stopped writing after I graduated school, the next generation is growing up with even more tech than I had. If they're poor enough, they'll write and have the finger muscles.
Did you switch to anything good? I love Swiftkey, but I hate the fact that I'm now using Microsoft software on my phone. I want to jump ship before they start making changes in their interest. My friend recommended the Google gboard, but that almost seems like swapping one evil for another. Is there a Freer Android keyboard that has good predictions like Swiftkey?
PC gaming was already a DRM-laden dystopia. Keys and licenses for everything, every game having their own separate DRM system (although I'll agree that they were seemingly easier to crack back then). If you lost the key, you bought another copy, simple as that. PC gaming is a huge market now. Yes there are tons of shitty games and FPS rehashes, but if that's all you see then you aren't looking hard enough. Also, not all games on Steam actually use DRM. FTL is one such game that I copy right out of my steam dir and onto a flash drive for portable play.
I've had 2 of their keyboards that would disconnect from USB and repeat keys. I even had a mousepad that didn't work well as a mousepad! It would slide all over my roughly textured desk. It's such overpriced junk.

And Facebook says it's creepy to remove features from hardware and then gouge customers on adapters. Whoop dee fuckin' doo.
I don't have a Facebook account, should I also pay for them to stop collecting data on me? I'm not receiving any services from them.
That's great, but how translucent will their bags be?
Property can be stolen through theft, ideas are not property and you're not talking about theft.

Don't be such a puritan. Next thing you're going to tell me is that when you search for detergent you don't want to see this either. Prude!

Looks like they just had it playing Atari games. I want to see it winning Starcraft tournaments already!
Cues! Cues! Fuck, you got me.

If you want to use Facebook for marketing, why not just hire a marketing company? Or pay Facebook to market to its users?

Right. They still make money selling music, but didn't with this LP thing. Whoopdee friggin' doo. Slow news day?

They really couldn't just open notepad and maximize it or just lock the session before wiping?
Elite: Dangerous is one of the best VR games.

You make a very convincing argument, but I think there's one important fact that you haven't considered: fartbagel.

Holy shit the Talos Principle is real! We have to get to work creating AIs that are humanlike to take over when we all die!
