Pretty much, every decent Go/Chess program uses some form of pattern recognition in their evaluation of the state of every board. Pattern recognition for imagery has improved dramatically over recent years...think facial recognition on your iPhone X! It won't be long before that hummingbird will be another solved problem.
"So let's discuss the why before we just start regulating stuff that 99.999% of the time will not need any regulation for any public safety, or even ethical purpose."
So, I'll submit that at some point, we may have AI that has the ability to do us harm, and needs to be regulated. In order to regulate, you'll need a definition of AI so that whatever agency does that regulation, they'll have a defined swim lane, much like the FAA, FCC, and others. This doesn't mean that we have to have something to regulate now, but it's good to get ahead of the curve before the lobbyists come along and fuck it all up.
I can't, I'll have to get my kids or my wife to ask Alexa. Alexa still doesn't recognise a British accent (at least not in the US). If I ask Alexa what AI is, I'll probably get a pizza delivered.
What he doesn't apparently get is that while yes, all of those activities will continue to happen. But, now the ISPs will be maximizing profits (as all good businesses should), by increasing prices as much as they believe they can, and coming out with a variety of tiered services that cost more. They'll also be double charging...not just the consumer, but the providers as well, on the same bits.
These are local monopolies, and need to be treated as public utilities. There is NO competition.
Um, no. No, it's not. If you know anything about Detroit, you know it was one of the most segregated cities on the planet back in the 60s. My elementary school was had a grand total of one black kid, and we were only about five miles from the downtown center,..Macomb Elementary near the major intersections of Harper and Conners. The area was pretty crime free when I was growing up, but that changed in the 70s.
While I agree that this seems to be a good idea, sometimes it's good to incubate experiments in one location before going all in. It's one of the few advantages of having 50 states in the US...you can see what worked elsewhere...and what didn't. Unfortunately for us, we let our partisanship get in the way of right v. wrong too often.
Ditto. I fortunately had a perceptive mother, who got it out of me that I was being pestered by a couple of bullies on the way home from school frequently during my freshman year of HS. She spoke with my coach who had a couple of my senior teammates address the issue, and I was never bothered again. Sometimes a little peer pressure can be a good thing.
I agree that the kids don't need those phones, but not so much this... "Children younger than driving age are in most locations by definition with an adult the entire time they are transiting to/from school."
Um, no. You need to look up how often people are injured while just walking and using their cellphones. Your "added safety" is completely obliterated by the added risk of injury.
I grew up on the streets of Detroit, walking about a half dozen city blocks to elementary school, back in the 60s. There were no cell phones, and there were not payphones nearby. We even did so during the riots in '67. The only supervision we had was the "safety patrol" boys, who were also elementary school age kids, who checked for traffic at each intersection. Never once heard of anything more than a fist fight.
We've gone from that to the current situation where we've got helicopter parenting, raising a bunch of pansies. It's not their fault, it's the parents who are living in fear because of the over hyped media coverage on predators.
Just like the bullshit that women are paid less. There's a great and truthful quote... "if employers could save 23 percent by hiring women, they’d fire all the men."
Having worked in "tech" since the 70s, I started out working with three women in a computer repair shop in the USAF. I dated a female software engineer (a def contractor), and her best friend was another female programmer. Once I got out of the military and landed my first commercial job (I'm still there after 36 yrs), about half of the software folks, including a director, were female. That percentage has dwindled over the years, in spite of our constant attempts to hire more women...I've personally hired many. Our company gives women higher pay raises, and more frequent promotions...unjustly in my opinion. But from my vantage point (specifically in my office), the only discrimination I've seen is against white males...for many years. That, in no way, is intended to insinuate that there's not a bias against women...I've witnessed that, just not at my place of business.
I disagree that women don't want to be programmers. I think many just don't want to be in an environment where they're the only, or one of the only women...they don't want to be in the boys locker room. I've had women bring this up during interview questioning.
I dislike the excuse as well, but have seen the same happen to guys in lead roles. HR refused to allow them to become supervisors w/o degrees in spite of having twenty plus years of experience. That's part of the suckage of working for any large company.
I wish I had mod points for you. As someone who spent six years working over there, I'm in full agreement with what you've stated here. I will add that I feel for the people of NK because they quite simply don't know anything about the outside world unless they're part of the ruling class.

What does intelligence actually mean? ...and why is it so scarce?
It's all in your head. But not you specifically.
we should just ask Alexa.
I can't, I'll have to get my kids or my wife to ask Alexa. Alexa still doesn't recognise a British accent (at least not in the US). If I ask Alexa what AI is, I'll probably get a pizza delivered.
That's because Alexa only speaks English.
Considering your name, I'd have to defer to you as the subject matter expert.

Take a bow. Bravo!

That's already happening in some states, by law, and in many companies, like my own which now gives paid leave to dads as well.
Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids...oh, you said tits.

Yeah sure. Please point to any time since the Korean war where that's worked with North Korea. Oops, you can't.
Clouds can be seen through with a variety of satellite sensors
"The NK missile launch last week occurred with NO warning. "
No public warning. There's zero chance that we didn't know about the planned launch.
