Google Photos puts photos of my dog under the heading 'Cats'. And they want this AI to control cars on public roads?
I really don't think driverless cars are going to favour one species over another when it comes to deciding whether to swerve/brake to avoid them or not.
I physically can't get 8 hours (or more) every night or I get a weird headache and I feel groggy all day long. The sweet spot for me is around 7 hours.
Congratulations, you are Mr Average.
Normally on Slashdot people would be boasting about how they need either one or twenty hours sleep because of the super-specialness of their brains.
So despite their being responsible for the protection of life and property around the clock night shift workers are considered statistical out layers? I'm finding myself strangely sympathetic to those who use the term little "snowflake" right now despite my strong left leaning political view right this moment.
If you say that Einstein was a statistical outlier in terms of intelligence, you're not criticising him for being clever.
Here in the UK most people seem to have contracts with a "free" phone (i.e. no up front cost but hefty monthly cost) which they replace every two years. This is regardless of whether it's Apple or Android, and was more or the less the case back when it was just a choice between the latest Nokia or Motorola dumb phone.
Let's check that... Que... chiefly Californian for barbeque... Que... abbreviation for Quebec... Looks like an English word to me.

The OP was not talking about BBQs in French Canada though, was he?
Zero Fahrenheit is not a temperature you can sensibly live at. It might not immediately kill you, but to pretend it's just handily at the lower end of human comfort is ridiculous.
And 100 Fahrenheit is 38 Celsius, and this time above the comfortable zone for most humans.
Don't say you are lazy, because clearly you arn't. The fact that you can do half those things means you are willing to adjust to the technology. Most people won't.
There is a difference between mental laziness and physical laziness.
No, because she would then de-compile herself. You'd just be left with a pile of dead 0s and 1s, and something beautiful in the world would have been lost forever.
There was a marketing dude who wrote a book. I forget the exact title but it was something like, "10 Rules of Marketing".
One of the rules was that there was room in any market for one market leader and one smaller, lesser brand. Never any more than that. He had all kinds of examples of third place brands that went bankrupt or got bought out by the leaders.
And in the present situation, Android seems to be the market leader with Apple iOS the smaller brand (though by profitability, Apple is the leader). Now look at what happened to Nokia, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, WebOS, Palm, etc.
Rubin might have a shot but this would seem to violate this marketing rule.
It's lucky that this can't be trivially refuted by pointing out that there are more than two car manufacturers, brands of whisky, or makes of laptop, right?

If I take our picture and I want to share it with you - WHY MUST I also share a copy with G FB NSA etc?
You could always try not using Google if you're that worried.
Crazy, huh?

Is there anything at all about this "feature" that doesn't seem at best creepy and intrusive?
I seem to have missed the bit about how it's compulsory to install this on your computer and phone.

Try putting a black sounding name on a resume and see how much prestige it gains
Actually you would get hired. That's one of the most sought after demographics, especially in Silicon Valley.
Yes, the directors, owners and senior managers of Silicon Valley firms are almost entirely black lesbians.
It's a conspiracy to do down the straight white man.
Oh, wait, no of course it fucking isn't.

No, that doesn't make "que" an English word.

Because some of us, at least, can easily sense temperature to within 1F. Which is approximately 1/2C.
82F is about optimal for me under most conditions. 83 is "warm", 81 is "cooler".
Wow, aren't we the precious little snowflake?
Turkey didn't exist 10.000 years ago. Call it Anatolia or the Black Sea Area. There's no reason to dumb down this stuff on Slashdot, is there?
That is ridiculous pedantry.
On that basis 10,000 years ago "Italy" or "the United States of America" didn't exist either.
Plus discipline. Set boundaries and set them hard from a young age. Cats generally will accept them.
I think someone sold you a puppy and told you it was a kitten.
I paid $25 for a 128GB MicroSD last Black Friday.
That does not mean that you can get a 256GB card for $50.
You're comparing Apple iphone production installs to Android installations. That is not an apples-to-apples comparison.
Insert your own "no it's apples-to-androids" joke here.
That is a terrible cliche to use here.
"I refuse to install the Facebook and Messenger app"
Full stop. I won't dabble in Facebook, period. I don't have an account and never will.
Such courage.
the NWO
Oh dear.
It is creepy. You don't have to be paranoid. Think of FB as a creep and stalker that follows you around.
I seem to have missed the news item about the new government mandatory requirement to have your FB-connected smartphone with you at all times.
I think adding a big "don't forget I'm a dumb machine not a fucking AI or mind-reader" sticker on the box would be the most useful improvement.

Seri-ous question: can you say, "Siri, undo?"
No, because she would then de-compile herself. You'd just be left with a pile of dead 0s and 1s, and something beautiful in the world would have been lost forever.
They have to get rid of the 'search the web if all else fails' fallback.
The rest is silence.

$1/kWh?! That's seven times typical midwest US rates. Shudder to think of summer A/C bills...
There are probably about 3 people in the whole of the UK who have summer A/C bills. A/C here is about as useful as a raincoat in the Sahara.
That's the most BS excuse I've heard, $5 says you are a non-degree holding wanna be loser? yeah
Why would anyone WANT to be a loser?
BeauHD is the singularity; a really highly compressed AI
I can buy the "A" but where's the evidence for the "I"?
