  1. Re:Have we passed Peak Google? on Google Employees Resign in Protest Against Pentagon Contract (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Google is an advertising company. DuckDuckGo is a search service.

  2. Re: Can't be excluded on Stephen Hawking Service: Possibility of Time Travellers 'Can't Be Excluded' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    There isn't. He didn't even have a MySpace account.

  3. Re:Can't be excluded on Stephen Hawking Service: Possibility of Time Travellers 'Can't Be Excluded' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly. To say that Time Travelers might exist opens the door to a lot of stupidity. Then people will say that Jesus might have existed, or the Earth might be flat, or any other lunatic thing. Hawkings opinions on time travel and AI really left a lot to be desired.

  4. Re:It's the whiplash with a touch of insider tradi on President Trump Pledges To Help China's ZTE, After Ban (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it should "remind" you of the Cohen fiasco. That is what I was referring to. This is more of the same. He is out to help himself TO America.

  5. Re:MCGA? on President Trump Pledges To Help China's ZTE, After Ban (usatoday.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You must be kidding. Trump isn't out to help America. He is out to help himself. Morally and ethically bankrupt.

  6. Re:Your doing it wrong on The Future of Fishing Is Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (civileats.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Who is "we'll"? I hope you don't have children.

  7. Re:Missing out on Military Contracts? on Boston Dynamics' SpotMini Robot Dog Will Go On Sale Next Year (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I am not wondering. These robots look "cool" in YouTube videos, but are ultimately useless.

  8. Ridiculous on NASA Will Send Helicopter To Mars To Test Otherworldly Flight (bbc.com) · · Score: 0

    A rotor doesn't work in a vacuum. It wouldn't even get halfway to Mars.

  9. SpaceX fans are all closet accountants. The rest of us don't care how much it costs to put yet another communication satellite in orbit.

  10. Re:Just like the human mind! on AI Trained To Navigate Develops Brain-Like Location Tracking (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Interesting. "Roomba" powered by DeepMind.

  11. Waste of time on 'Father of GPS' Receives the IEEE Medal of Honor (eetimes.com) · · Score: -1, Redundant

    What a waste of time. He should have been developing AI GPS. It learns where you want to go by tracking your movements and shows you how to get there.

  12. Re:"solved" my ass on AI Trained To Navigate Develops Brain-Like Location Tracking (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    You are missing the point: now that DeepMind has "solved" this Go problem, it will now be applied to "solve" another problem. Eventually it will be able to "solve" useful problems, given enough VC funding. If it can play Go AND figure out mazes, the sky is the limit here.

  13. Re:Rich people realizing they can't spend it all on The $100B Bet: The Meaning of the Vision Fund (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    That is because America's economic output increased quickly. Rockefellers net worth would be about $30B in today's dollars. David Rockefeller was incredibly (financially) successful in banking.

  14. Just like the human mind! on AI Trained To Navigate Develops Brain-Like Location Tracking (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    This is just like the human mind. After all, it is called "DeepMind" and uses "neural networks". Surely it operates just like the human mind does! I mean look at what it can do: "could adjust their routes based on changes in the environment, recognizing and using shortcuts to get to preassigned goals after previously closed doors were opened to them." Truly groundbreaking results. And also "This was surprising because it is the exact same system that mammalian brains use to navigate." Truly amazing! These guys also know how mammalian brains navigate! How can I invest?

  15. What SoftBank is on The $100B Bet: The Meaning of the Vision Fund (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    Softbank is just a bunch of rich people wasting oil money. Most of the money comes from Saudi Arabia.

  16. Re:Google can't be bothered? on Malicious Apps Get Back on the Play Store Just by Changing Their Name (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Vetting content would destroy their profit margins and require effort.

  17. With AI available, how is it possible that a multi-billion dollar system is fooled by changing a string in the app name? Doesn't the AI detect that? The humans did. Very puzzling.

  18. Cusp? on Ask Slashdot: How Would a Self-Aware AI Behave? (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    We are on the cusp of self-aware AI? I missed something. What technological progress has there been in the last 20 years that would make you think that?

  19. AI on Malicious Chrome Extensions Infect Over 100,000 Users Again (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Good thing we have AI to protect us from running malicious programs. Surely AI is able to do that?

  20. Who is going to fork it and maintain it? You? Doubtful. Get over it.

  21. The point is, who cares what you are "against'? That "joke" has been in there for decades, and no one noticed. Get over it.

  22. Re:Why do people care about Stallman? on Richard Stallman Demands Return Of Abortion Joke To libc Documentation (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    You ought to create a fork that fits your needs then. Until you do, enjoy the joke.

  23. You must be kidding.

  24. Uh, obviously he does have the "power to do that". The "joke" is back.

  25. Re:Clueless on Richard Stallman Demands Return Of Abortion Joke To libc Documentation (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I just wonder what it is like to go through life getting offended by every little thing. It must be exhausting.
