    Actually the opposite: the traditional media outlets shut down comments once they realized that people were allowed to post differing viewpoints and actually had logical refutations of the garbage they were posting as "news".

    A webpage is not a city council meeting. But I did see that you threw out the word "trolling" there. Good job. It must be trolling if they say something you don't like.

  5. You are dumb. There is a difference between calling someone a "troll" and a "terrorist" and also public appearances versus webpages. I know you really don't want people to point out the SJW BS that goes on, but too bad.

    The next thing is that the politicians will call these people "trolls". Basically in 2019 anyone who doesn't agree with your thinking is a "troll". Rather than ignoring, or actual discussion, you just label the person a "troll".

    5G includes new revenue opportunities for carriers that 4G didn't have, so you will see it deployed much more widely.

  8. Catching a baseball requires about a week of training. We can't even get "AI" to solve SIMPLE problems, because it isn't intelligent at all. Forget about catching a baseball. It can't even RECOGNIZE a baseball unless you train it to, and even then if you show a picture of a baseball that is different from what it was trained to recognize it wouldn't work.

  9. Because it is just a voice recognition system hooked up to a database with a speech synthesizer. None of these systems "learn" at all. They are just databases with some semi-clever programming around it.

  10. If we get strong AI then it is a life-changing event.

    WTF? "Cheaper than any ICE car in the > 450 HP range?" I thought we were saving the planet here, not racing. Virtue signaling at its finest. BTW, I've driven Tesla's. They are good cars. They are not "green" though.

    That isn't surprising. All car companies do the same. Look at Volvo: only the "cheapest" models of a line are made in China. The rest are made in more expensive places.

    A car is not "green" by any stretch of the imagination. Cars are unsustainable. An EV is just a virtue signaling device used by technocrats to indicate they are wealthy and "care about the environment". A Tesla IS more expensive as well. So basically completely wrong.

    Go ahead and clean it up. Are you not understanding? It would require millions of these things to make any difference (and they would need to work). The point is we need to stop producing it. You cannot clean it up. It is too late for that.

    If you want awareness then this is not the way to do it. What is needed is less plastic waste produced, not pretending like you can solve the problem by deploying a technical solution. This is even worse: people will think this will solve the problem, and thus never cut back on plastic production. Stupid Millenial thinking.

    There is a reason for that: There are 150,000,000 tons of plastic in the oceans now, and 8,000,000 tons new each year. Each trap was supposed to clean up 150,000 POUNDS of plastic each year (if it worked 100%). You would need 2 million of these to clean up what is in the oceans now, and another 100,000 just to get the new waste. This is why no one is trying anything like what he is doing. It is a stupid idea.

    The entire idea is flawed and self-serving. 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans each year. Even if this thing worked 100% you couldn't build enough of them to make an appreciable dent in the incoming waste stream.
