It's only when it becomes real life and you start giving real addresses that problems start creeping in.
Heh. I have national computer magazines from the 80s and 90s full of wanted ads for pen-pals, trades, sales and the like which always published people's real names and addresses. More striking is that it's likely these were teenagers. I'm not sure that'd happen much anymore...
You're holding machines to a higher standard than people. Driving tests don't involve hundred thousands of scenarios that a student needs to pass before getting a license.
That's an interesting point. The driving test is validation of your internal model. The test is simple. The complexity of your internal model is likely to be incredibly complex. How do you know we're holding machines to a higher standard when we have little or no clue what our own standards are?
How long can Facebook stock hold up while Peeping Tom Zuckerberg carries on as CEO? Even the general public can't be dim enough to continue contributing to this Orwellian freakshow.
[Vladislav] Surkov turned Russian politics into a bewildering, constantly changing piece of theater. He sponsored all kinds of groups, from neo-Nazi skinheads to liberal human rights groups. He even backed parties that were opposed to President Putin.
In typical fashion, as the war [In the Ukraine] began, Surkov published a short story about something he called non-linear war. A war where you never know what the enemy are really up to, or even who they are. The underlying aim, Surkov says, is not to win the war, but to use the conflict to create a constant state of destabilized perception, in order to manage and control.
General Melchett: Is this true, Blackadder? Did Captain Darling pooh-pooh you?
Captain Blackadder: Well, perhaps a little.
General Melchett: Well, then, damn it all! What more evidence do you need? The pooh-poohing alone is a court martial offense!
Captain Blackadder: I can assure you, sir, that the pooh-poohing was purely circumstantial.
General Melchett: Well, I hope so, Blackadder. You know, if there's one thing I've learnt from being in the Army, it's never ignore a pooh-pooh. I knew a Major, who got pooh-poohed, made the mistake of ignoring the pooh-pooh. He pooh-poohed it! Fatal error! 'Cos it turned out all along that the soldier who pooh-poohed him had been pooh-poohing a lot of other officers who pooh-poohed their pooh-poohs. In the end, we had to disband the regiment. Morale totally destroyed... by pooh-pooh!
A moving story of divorce starring Dustin Hoffman and the titular lizard with particular dramatic focus on the impact their relationship difficulties have on their hybrid son.
They're guessing their tactic of "it's easier to get forgiveness than permission" extends to dumping self-driving cars on the road and hoping no-one has the gumption to tell them to do one. I'd say it's a Hail Mary but it's all they've got at this stage.
It's a pretty sad state of affairs when a style guide aimed at adults has to include direction on correct punctuation. Is the standard of written English that low at Google? I suppose it could be aimed at non-English users but even so...
The weirdest thing about all this are the critics who label Damore's firing as Orwellian while overlooking the greatest data aggregation exercise in human history.
It was going to end on Friday. Then it wasn't. Now it is again. Anyone who responds to anything coming out of Downing Street at the moment with anything other than resigned bemusement is far too trusting. The government is as split as the country was and I'll be astonished if both major parties manage to survive Brexit. Worth bearing in mind that the man who holds the purse strings, Phillip Hammond, is not a fan.

I wonder if it was as successful as this.
That could be fun given the differing attitudes of Elon Musk and Western Europe toward trade unions...
Yep, It's the fundamental mistake people who use the lamplighter or buggy whip analogy make. AI isn't coming for one job. It's coming for all jobs.
Including making bad analogies.
... to use a secure phone in a different light.

Really?!
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity (Although don't rule out malice)
Is that the same Watson that's dreadful at cancer diagnosis? IBM's PR department triumphs again.
Heh. Fully automated luxury communuism made real.
Sound familiar...?
Quite right. You've got to have standards.
I can't believe you missed Kramer vs Godzilla.

Is that true when there are non-negligible parts of the United States that don't have access to basic sanitation?

Where do you stand on the inchoate offences such as conspiracy to commit a crime..?

The politics may well prove impossible.

I think it's a bit of stretch to call Newton's proclivities a 'quirky habit'.
Crush the hippie, tree huggers like Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson! If there's one industry dragging the country down with their green crap, it's Big Oil.
We've never had a taste of fascist government before so we don't know how it happens. We will though.
