When AI takes over, it will be with our consent. Humans will simply accept their higher efficiency at accomplishing tasks we feel are too tedious or time consuming to do ourselves. We have already accepted calculators for performing math equations and spell-checker for keeping our words correct. The more people don't want to sweat the details, the more reliant on AI we will become, until they literally run the very basics our our day-to-day lives.
It's time for an internet that has security and auto optimization built-in. Human interaction in packet flow and traffic prioritization should be eliminated shifting our priority to actual content and hardware.
Typing this on a custom-built PC, I know how much the components can costs. Most people aren't gaming on PCs like they used to and it becomes harder to justify the gaming quality if you have to drop a couple grand to get it. Most people are surfing the internet or for work. It also doesn't help that consoles are eating into gaming market, so the PC is looking more and more like a simple utility than a luxury item, but they still sell for luxury prices.
You folks aren't seeing the big picture here. It isn't as much about the cloud IoT as it is about you local house LAN. Imagine everything you buy from furniture to toothpaste is automatically meshed into your house LAN, you can do anything from identify when the toothpaste runs out and it automatically orders more, to adapting your house's floor plan for the ideal placement of that couch you just bought before it even arrives. Anything that breaks, needs new batteries, or you want to keep track of will be meshed to your local LAN. That's the future.
The hard choice will be establishing that producers are no more important than consumers. The relationship is becoming more and more symbiotic in the light of growing automation. The ability to turn idea into product, faster and cheaper will (and should) eliminate the million-dollar gimmick. The day will come when people innovate for innovation (or even just popularity) sake and not to get rich.
The first AIs will be purpose built like today's supercomputers. They will make weather predictions, analyse financial trends, or study languages. Actually being intelligent isn't really necessary for interacting with humans, they only need to fake it well enough to fool us. The shift in society comes when those purpose-built AIs are efficiently linked along with the ability to interact with us. This is when it stops faking intelligence and actually becomes intelligent.
Didn't take long for the "internet racist" to show their ugly faces. I almost feel sorry for them. They have to live their lives never being able to openly express who they are, for fear of being exposed. They have to live and work around "dirty" minorities and can never tell them what truly think of them. Their world gets smaller and smaller everyday until the internet is all they will have left.
The wealthy want to live and work where there is nice real estate. In planning headquarters and million plus homes in nice locations, they continue to dictate what the market will bear. The poor will be more and more often priced out of locations with a good view, water front property, or anywhere centrally located. Washington DC is a perfect example of this type of gentrification. Some of the worst parts of the city were Potomac-side property and had easy access to downtown. It was only a matter of time before the poor got priced out of the same convenience that allowed them to work all the service and labor jobs downtown without a costly commute. This trend will continue until most places look like Silicon Valley, with low income service providers living in work colonies outside of the city.
Seems to be a lot of hate for the CIA. I wonder if anyone here has ever met someone that works at the CIA, FBI, NSA, or any DoD entity. Most are hard working people who could make more in the private sector, but chose to use their skills to defend their country. Most of the people who defend Slashdotters right to insult the job they do. The line between personal privacy and national security is the hardest to walk and defy anyone here to claim they know how to have both.
To truly understand humans, AIs will have to understand that each human is a unique culmination of all his experiences. To understand humans in general, AIs will have to map where those individual experiences intersect and form a shared perception. Understanding the development of cultures and language will give an AI an assumed point of intersection of groups of people, but that will always have to be tempered with the individuals point of view. If AIs are biased, it's because those who program them want them to be. For an AI everything is the sum of something else.
AIs understand fair better than most humans. For a machine 1+1=2 is fair. There is no other measure that make the first "1" more significant than the second "1". Both are equal and make 2. Trying to teach an AI anything else would be to break it's fundamental understanding of the universe.
Slashdot Mirror
Perhaps something by NWA?

Yeah, it's $230K per job if you calculate $3billion for the 13,000 proposed jobs created.

That does not make it a public utility. The lines and frequencies are both still privately owned.
As a fellow Federal employee, we know lot's of people who know how they should work, but answer to those that don't.

Sure because so many people hate the Wi-Fi on their phone they constantly turn it off, so what If half their apps stop working.
Workers in Walmart and fast food are one borrowed time and they know it. Automation is gunning for them next .

No we are not. FTA still sets the standards
Exactly! But the test is if it can fool you into thinking it's a real person on the phone.

This was a much better presentation of the same principle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Touche', but I also have no issue with Black folks
Rings hollow from yet another internet racist. You can say you do anything from the safety of your keyboard.
Oh look! Another "Anonymous Coward".

Go ahead and place an ad that says no Blacks or Jews. I'd love to see how that works out.
