So image and voice recognition and learning to play games. Enough said. Ridiculous. A computer is going to be better at ANY game. The fact that it can play Go or checkers or whatever game you can come up with doesn't change that fact.
If THAT is what you call "AI", then the term is meaningless. Computers have been solving complex problems for decades. This new AI hype is just another cycle that will go away once the VCs grab a few dollars.
You can just mark 0% for progress now. Playing Go or Chess or any game is NOT AI. Neither is Siri or facial or voice recognition or autonomous driving. They are just programs. Computers are good at Go and Chess because they have strict rules to follow. Computers love rules. Computers are less good at autonomous driving because the rules aren't as clearly defined.
Everything in the Universe is controlled by "basic physics". However you need to be able to fully describe the system in order to apply the physics to it. The planet is not just like a greenhouse. Personally I think overfishing and in some cases local pollution plays a part here.
Well that is dumb. What is the difference between a Canadian cloud service and a US one? You still don't own the data. Why would you put corporate data on a public cloud service? Sounds unlikely.
The "filter" that space nutters ignore is distance and the speed of light. Basic physics. You can never reach even the closest of these planets because you cannot accelerate anything to any significant fraction of C. The fastest we ever gone is 0.0002% the speed of light. This is reality.
We likely will never see AI. The digital computer revolution is coming to an end due to physics and there is no clear path forward. We haven't seen leaps and bounds in digital computer processing power for many years now.
Obviously they didn't think of the children though. My next proposal with be called "Think of the Children" and will require full Internet histories of everyone to be collected and stored in perpetuity.

No, the point is should the car have stopped, or kept driving after seven warnings and 37 minutes? It is supposed to be a smart car.
What if the drivers was incapacitated and couldn't put his hands on the wheel?
Anyone who has four degrees isn't too bright. They just don't want to get a real job.
You will never know, because you can't ask the guy the car killed.

Well if he isn't proud of you, I am! Thank you for your service to our country. It is much safer with you looking out for us.
Nope. The brain is nothing like a digital computer running programs. But nice try.
I don't understand. You earn $55k in IT in Silicon Valley and are protecting our country from hackers. What else could a father want from his son?
I have the same, but my kid is as dumb as a rock but good at sports. We cancel each other out.

No one is buying those either. People buy them in contract "bundles".
I said "Android" phone, not iPhone.
No one is going to buy a $479 Android phone.

...we only have dialup. You know the story.

Plus slow internet and Microsoft laid off their QA department and Seattle stuff.
So I guess half of the people here are still able to post.

To a Space Nutter, fantasy is reality. They will just reply with "well we will construct it in space in our space factories".

Because there is no such thing as "AI". You obviously are not a programmer.

This guy is the "Seattle guy". He is the one who says he can only get dialup Internet in Seattle and got laid off from MS (probably QA).
