Asking the opinion of someone who thinks AI can be compared with a simple mechanism like a telephone is a waste of time. Having a CEO title, even of a company like Google, doesnâ(TM)t convey expert knowledge of abstruse technical concepts. Elon anticipates the worst because humanity has without exception shown that it can and will find the absolute worst things that can be done with any technology. Expecting that to change for AI is Pollyanna-thinking.

And it's a great day for astronomy folks... what? It's a typo? I'm shocked, shocked to find that an article on Slashdot was not capably edited prior to submission.
MS ought to have realized by now that they need to just throw away any even-numbered releases. The only numbered releases that have not been failures due to function or usability have all been odd-numbered (assuming you forget about all versions before Windows 3.1). And just skipping the even numbers won't work because it's the ideas in the even releases that are failures. Though perhaps it might be that MS needs the every-other-version beatings to actually produce decent versions?
1) Clueless submitter: Hey I have a solution! 2) Burning Man: All the reasons why it is, in fact, not a solution. 3) Clueless submitter: Re-sends idea from (1) with more lipstick 4) Slashdot scrum ensues. 5) Profit? (Who, exactly?)
What's even worse is the Slashdot commenters who thought there still wasn't quite enough lipstick on (3) and added their own to it.
bought Motorola for anything other than the patents, you're just fooling yourself. Having Motorola Mobility come with them was just the secret decoder ring in the cereal box. MM is not really as fun as it seemed at first, so time to put the toys away.
Seriously, this is like the worst of the military command structure, where every time a new commander steps in they have to change everything around just to pad their package. It doesn't need to be "flat". Doing that says that the height of design style was AOL in 1997. Ives, stop being an ego-maniacal clown and try introducing some real design improvements.
In a related announcement, they will also be testing particulate matter concentrations with sensors mounted on diesel semi-tractors driven around the port facilities.
Would have been much easier to allow everywhere and let the individual players block incomming "flirtatious" dialogue for their own character(s). That way you could block or allow all such dialogue if you wanted, or just for your specific "female protocol droid" preference.
evil!
But of course, some people will just have to continue using Instagram and Facebook, even though all past actions demonstrate that FaceBook deserves its reputation as a Mostly Evil (TM) corporation.
is a definite issue here. FTA, it took 3(?) months to get 5 gallons. Also, FTA, they expect to be able to scale up to an installation that can produce 1 ton of petrol (gasoline?) a day. With 1 gallon of gasoline weighing approx. 5.87 lbs (US, natch), this gives a whopping output of:
340 gallonsper day
So, move along, nothing to see here.
There is no way that a) Downey is going to agree to doing an ensemble picture as a bit player after headlining 2+ Iron Man movies, or b) That the studio is going to spring for the big money it would take to hire him, just for an ensemble role in a risky new franchise.
When you say Downey would not do a bit-player role, you make an unwarranted assumption that there will be an Iron Man 3. Don't be so sure of that. Judging by the trailers for Iron Man 2, it is going to suck ass, big time. If so, IM 3 will be shit-canned and the studio will be more than happy to throw Downey into an ensemble role to recoup some of the outlay.

"Hey You Kids, Get Off My Lawn!"
The saddest five words ever:
Breakfast has no mystical powers.

Ha ha ha ha ha! Whew. Thanks, that was a good one.
Wait, they're serious?
HA HA HA HA HA!
Um, how about it's because Tesla makes real cars and not bad sci-fi movie props.

It has a little wang to it.
plate, bullet-proof, automobile or stained?
do the fine, don't do the crime!
...I would not call that a movie that "bombed"
Then you don't know what constitutes a bomb in the eyes of the studio execs.
If it doesn't make at least double the budget in the US release alone, then it is a bomb.
The only exceptions from their standpoint are the small-gross, tailor-made, Oscar-bait films.

'94 Saturn ... parked in the Arizona sun for many years ... multiple electronics failures ... engine oil leak
Survived the sunlight just fine
It sure sounds it.
*ducks*
Not true. It survived the sunlight, but not the owner.
