  1. Re:Until true AI is developed.... on Robots Are Coming For Our Jobs, Just Not All of Them · · Score: 1

    In the end between the robot companies, the programers and the robot maintainers you end up with more or less the same number of jobs than those that were lost just with higher productivity and better results.

    You're insane.
    For every robot company worker, programmer or robot maintainer there will be hundreds of low-level service workers who will have no way to break out of poverty, if automation keeps increasing at its current rate.

  2. Re:Blame unions. on Evidence That H-1B Holders Don't Replace US Workers · · Score: 1

    How many IT workers are unionised?Basically none.

    You're the same kind of idiot as the one who wrote the article.

  3. Re:There is no reason for any drought to continue on How California Is Winning the Drought · · Score: 1

    There is plenty of water for farmers and city folk..

    There won't be enough for either in a few years if they keep draining the aquifer.

  4. Re:But but but.. on Dr. Frances Kelsey, Who Saved American Babies From Thalidomide, Dies At 101 · · Score: 1

    It takes that long because the harm-inducing corporations have effectively infinite amounts of money to hire delay-inducing lawyers.
    The victims don't.

  5. Re:It'll never happen on Will Robot Cabs Unjam the Streets? · · Score: 1

    That's because Zipcar employees keep them clean.

  6. Re:interesting experiment on Hitchhiking Robot's Cross-Country Trip Ends In Philadelphia · · Score: 1

    Well, it certainly taught us something about Philly.
    It's a place not safe for man, beast or robot.

    You can download VMWare Workstation for free from VMWare.com.

  8. Re:This researcher lacks vision... on Answering Elon Musk On the Dangers of Artificial Intelligence · · Score: 1

    Anyone following the latest results in deep neural networks (with recurrent designs for temporal or sequential pattern recognition and recent-memory emphasis) can see that it won't be too much longer before a good "general intelligence" architecture emerges.

    How much longer is "too much longer"?
    Ten years?
    A hundred years?
    A thousand years?
    I have no idea, and neither does anybody else.

  9. Re:Bigger Danger: AI to Deliver packages on Answering Elon Musk On the Dangers of Artificial Intelligence · · Score: 1

    You'd better not enrol in "Drywalling 101" next semester.

  10. Re:If you think Windows is bad on Mozilla CEO: Windows 10 Strips User Choice For Browsers and Other Software · · Score: 1

    So what?
    It's what a browser does that matters, not what its based on.

  11. Re:If you think Windows is bad on Mozilla CEO: Windows 10 Strips User Choice For Browsers and Other Software · · Score: 1

    Try iCabMobile.
    It has support for all common extensions (adBlock, LastPass, 1Password, etc), is fast, and has every feature you can imagine. Even has applewatch support. Costs 2 bucks, but well worth it.

  12. Re:How is this a "robot" on A Robot That Can Walk and Jump On Water · · Score: 1

    The abstract says nothing of the kind.
    This is an interesting physics experiment that has nothing to do with robots.

  13. Re:Can my car have a sense of humour too? on Robots Must Be Designed To Be Compassionate, Says SoftBank CEO · · Score: 1

    You won't need a Turing test, because it will act alive

    Too bad you will have no way of recognising whether it is "acting alive" or just faking.

    It will have to say "ouch!" and really mean it when you stick it with a pin

    Again, you will have no way of knowing whether it "really means it" or is just faking.
    The whole issue of machine sentience is moot - and a foolish waste of time.

    NRA is in favor of better mental health background checks.

    Bullshit.
    The NRA is vehemently opposed to all background checks at gun shows, where a lot of nut cases buy their weapons.

    It has little application in the humanities, where illogical arguments are considered to be OK, as long as the conclusions are politically correct.

  21. Re:Three Laws of Self-Driving Cars on UK Government Releases Rules To Get Self-Driving Cars Onto Public Roads · · Score: 1

    Two million miles on a specially designed test track that lacks:
    1. actual pedestrians (just cardboard cutouts)
    2. weather other than sunny and warm
    3. conditions other than daylight
    4. other drivers who are dangerous jerks.

    When a self-driving car can pass an actual driver's test, in all weathers and all traffic conditions, I will be impressed. Until then, it's all hype.

    It stayed the same?

  24. Re:Key points about AI on Which Movies Get Artificial Intelligence Right? · · Score: 1

    If you read Turing, you would see that any Turing-like test Is intended to act as a filter: if the machine fails, then it is clearly not intelligent. If it passes, that just means that the test was too easy.

    Where does this end? Probably never.

    Ennius' work took place 15 years ago. Since then, no one has been able to replicate it, and has since been discarded.
