I also recall a similar stampede to enroll in CS when I was an undergrad decades ago. I also remember an attrition rate of around 80% by the time I was a senior.

If the portion of the image the AI is "allowed to create" happens to have key diagnostic information, you lose. The whole point of getting an MRI is to spot unusual data. Also, most people going to a hospital have some sort of problem, so the data the AI "creates" could easily show abnormalities that aren't really there.
So FB is not only giving people fake news, now it's giving both false positive and false negative medical tests.
They should hire Elizabeth Holmes to direct this program.
The NSA was already caught hacking Cisco's routers before foreign customers received them. I wonder how secure Amazon's are? Do they subcontract the manufacture to China? Does the Chinese government get a back door out of the deal?
Bezos has been described as a "hyper intelligent alien being with a passing interest in human affairs.".
I guess he doesn't like it here on Earth and is preparing for his voyage home.
Or he's gearing up for inter-continental ballistic delivery drones. I'm betting on the trip home.
It's just an x86 microcontroller, but we'll throw in exciting buzzwords like AI, blockchain and cryptographic anchors to see if our stock goes up.
Since when is "sorting" a "basic AI task"?
This is the same country that gave us the previous major crypto-currency fiasco.
Mt Gox lost 650,000 BTC - roughly $7.2B (as in billion) at today's prices.

+1. Nobody uses their phone or laptop on the floor, so measuring the coverage there is pretty questionable. It's easy to image walls, furniture, appliances and interference patterns changing the signal strength from the floor to desk/chair height.
Unless the researchers have a steady need for the computations, moving work to the cloud makes more sense. Why build a multi-million dollar facility when you can just rent the computers for a day or two for your computation?
My guess is the list looks different if the data centers built by Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc. are factored in.
I don't get this claim: Google Now Playing, an always-listening, Shazam-like service... displays song titles on the lock screen if it picks up on music playing... Processing is done right on the Pixel 2 and it doesn't need network connectivity.
Where does it get the song catalog to match to, if not the Internet?
I cringe every time I read one of these stories. It's not the 1990s anymore. The market for PCs is fully saturated, and any purchases are generally for replacement. Specs no longer double every 18-24 months, so replacement is needed only when something breaks or the GPU is no longer supported by the OS. I owned my last PC for seven years, and the current one will easily last that long.
+1. In every iPhone app, you have to hunt around for the "Done" or "Cancel" or "Close" or whatever. Best of all, Android's "back" works across apps; so if an app launches the browser to show you something, tapping Back returns you to the original app.
Sorry Chaudhri, Steve Jobs was correct.

What total BS. Facebook is about *advertisers*. People are just the product Facebook delivers to them.

The service was really handy in the flip-phone days, and allowed Google to collect a massive training set for their voice recognition work.

That name is awfully suspicious.

I can imagine big ISPs simply pulling the plug on the state government, and leaving the contract to a local ISP.
Yes! My favorite! (OK, I'll admit to a little jQuery as well...)

Something's fishy about the "auditing our development processes" response. Maybe somebody was deliberately trying to slip in a back door?
There is a laptop lost in a UK garbage dump with 7,500 BTC on it. Never getting those back...

You'd better hope nothing goes wrong. According to iFixit the Surface is glued shut and is very difficult to repair.

A good read for the harm "AI" and Big Data are already causing is Cathy O'Neil's Weapons of Math Destruction.

Let me guess: the "extensive testing" took care of that problem.
+1. When the company was founded, they knew DVDs-by-mail was just a stopgap until broadband speeds enabled streaming.
Probably not. Given a total US population of 320M, leaking data on 143M probably covers most every adult with a credit card.
I do not envy the crew assigned to tracking that bug down.
