The only sentience that humans have experience with is our own, and I think it is safe to conclude that most scientists working on AI projects would try to replicate human sentience either intentionally or unintentially.
sex one of the other major driving influences besides survival, and no doubt will be part of the driving force for AI. i've heard many sexual disorders stem from a desire to have a completely submissive and totally nonjudgemental partner.
much of the utilization of UNintelligent machines has been in undertaking jobs hazardous to humans.. from working around superheated metal to the little police rovers with cameras. there's much to be said for their disposability.
i don't know that replicating the survival instinct would be high on the priority list.
read the itty-bitty print of the two newspaper scans in tfa here and here (I tried to get the text, but it's a paysite) and you'll see this does NOT apply to joe tourist, cellphonecameras, or anything like that. This applies to COMMERCIAL photographers, wedding photographers et al. You can debate how great that is on it's own, but it's nothing out of the unusual, I know you need a permit to take wedding photos in the public parks here in Milwaukee. The law generally is such that these photo-takers don't detract from others' enjoyment of the park, but this article says that security guards were stopping anybody with a tripod, even when the park was otherwise completely empty, and giving them leaflets that cited copyright protection, which like a lot of leaflets, was kind of glazing over a more complex subject. hilarity ensues.
Intellectual property is not a service either, sorry.
I can steal a haircut by running away after the barber's done. I can sneak into a concert. The barber can only cut hair so many times in one day, the concert can only hold so many people before it's full. From a cost-perspective, there's a loss there.
When a recording is stolen, the only "cost" is a loss of OPPORTUNITY to sell that music TO ME. I don't beleive the govt. generally treats OPPORTUNITY as a commodity.. I mean, you can buy a lotto ticket and that's buying opportunity, but you can't file a tax loss on that or missed stock opportunities.
i can't tell you how many times i've wanted the source when working in.net, especially when creating custom objects to extend some common.net object like a textbox or dataset. I've wept tears for weeks trying to debug things when I KNOW looking at the source would alleviate everything. Sometimes microsoft's APIs are just WORTHLESS.
I share some of the political concerns over the open-sourcing that I've read in here, but I think this is a bait I'll bite on regardless. I can quit saying "When in doubt.net you can't read the source.net"
my original post was not really informative, nor was it redundant to anything. overrated was about the only modding i could agree with. not ONE mod went with 'funny' which >i think was the obvious choice.
mods are obviously reading primarily at +2, because before i got this karma bonus, i rarely got modded one way or the other, now i get modded all the time. i've gotta agree with some other ppl i see posting around here, read at a low threshhold PLEASE when modding, because there's so many worthy posts that stay at 0 or 1, and far fewer +3s or +4s than +5s. let's get some better dispersement of modding rather than all going for the same post.
and whoever modded my alsalaamalaiykum response troll is out of their head. THIS is a troll, that was an honest answer.
'Accidental' non-manmade creations can be art, like a sunset. the sunset is art if someone views it and decides it so. Manmade items created not for art can later be decided to be so, like old railroad cars. Art created for one meaning can gain entirely separate meaning, like che guevara's picture.
whether something is art or not is only relative when it's being appreciated, and has nothing to do with it's creation.
#1, that's most frequently used as a greeting, so critiquing it's common meaning is like doing the same to "what's up?" which has little to do with physical direction.
#2, i'm young and from the east coast, both lend to a little gruff in phrasing that's not especially cruelty.
#3, I'm fallible, and there are differences between my ideals and how well i uphold them.
#4, the Lord's peace is a pretty big picture, and likely includes some contrary ingredients..
there's freenet of course, but going with the social angle, i bet nobody's paying attention to gopher. is fidonet still in existence on what bbs's remain?
not just a way of doing business *coughcough*ADV*cough*, but also a cult-classic compilation of some of the kind of bullshit dubbing children of the 70s&80s should be nostalgic for, featuring how-they-lied-o-vision, and gems like the flintstones hawking winston cigarettes and a black & white porky pig saying "son of a bitch".
sadly, this animeCon favorite has yet to be encoded for the net, but several other fims by Corn Pone Flicks are available, most notably "star wars, by george lucas, age 9" made using nearly every starwars toy you ever had.
I'd say more to degrade american dubbers and praise volunteer fansubbers (especially the copyright-conscious ones), but I think the rest of the comments on this article have it covered nicely.
as goku said when his best friend from childhood was gutted then detonated before his eyes... "darn!!" @_@
I've had never-gonna-do ideas that involve disposable LLCs as a front to legalities like the parent post's. i presume there's something i'm missing and it'd never work. I'd appreciate if someone fill in the technicalities of what common sense says wouldn't fly.
liberals as nouns exist only in statistics. otherwise liberal is an adjective. noone is A liberal (noun), they have liberal (adj) tendencies. I am PROUD to be independant. I have both liberal and conservative opinions, and if you don't like that, go fuck yourself. (happy i didn't apologize?)
Lots of liberals are idiots, lots of conservatives are idiots. intelligent liberals can still be trolled by idiot conservatives and intelligent conservatives can still be trolled by idiot liberals. We have no problem in this generally-liberal forum dispelling conservative-FUD, but we're receptive to liberal-FUD. I don't want to be receptive to ANY FUD.

aaaactually, mr wizard taught me that it's just the water's skin that's really wet--that is, it's self-adhesive properties...
pour a shitload of babypowder on a cup of water, and stick your finger down to the bottom. it'll be baby-fresh instead of wet.

a system meant to reduce all that is to be said about a game to a single-digit number somehow leaves the smaller nuances unsaid.
stunning.

uh... no. after growing up 17 years outside Philly, I've in the 10 years since been a couple other places with worse roads.
I really miss the PA turnpike & taking 30 between philly and pittsburgh, well groomed or not.

we know we're in the computer age for sure when we see THAT plastered on urinal covers nationwide ^^
pshh, my old 386 was much more adaptable to replace that missing basement step than my brother's head ever was.

i see, they're providing an attraction so we can get a bunch of spammers in one place and kill em!
-admiral akbar- it's a trap!
whee, my post is 40% 'redundant' to a post 45 minutes older than mine and another 2 hours older.
i've been redundant to nothing too, is this modding supposed to be for info you already EXPECTED to see?

good troll tho.
oh, and first post, bitches ^_-
here's a game guaranteed to get your girl off ^_^;;
finally stoner videogame boyfriends and needy nontechie girlfriends can be 100% on the same page!
there's freenet of course, but going with the social angle, i bet nobody's paying attention to gopher. is fidonet still in existence on what bbs's remain?
fine, when i'm an unmotivated millionaire i'll take ritalin ^^
file that under 'problems i'd like to have'.

allllll-right ACtroll, let's do this.
