Then make it law, and also make it law that all social sites have to show us what they've collected if we ask for it, AND THEN, destroy it if we quit their sites.
Today you see the technocrats singing the praises of robotics (there are good uses don't get me wrong here) just as you saw them sing the praises of the Internet years ago.
The most likely scenario? Elimination of workers in favour of robotics will be the end result.
"The main idea behind the system is to log a user's activities on the system or any other device that he/she may be using and then ask questions about them when they login next time."
Cloud security? I think I'll stick with pass phrases.
Meatfucker was unique, and outcast for his behavior, that sort of thing was highly frowned upon. The drone intellect is far superior to humans (never mind the GSV minds) but there was a balance struck, and even the drones admitted humans had resources not available to them. Humans (and the other bipedal species) were also varied genetically, could successfully reproduce with an alien species and could become the opposite gender as well, strange days there.
I think Iain creating the Culture and putting machines (essentially) in charge was a statement on human behavior more than anything else.
And yes I will miss him, he died too young and I'm sad there will be no more books form him, one of my favorite authors.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his company are suddenly facing a big new round of scrutiny and criticism about their cavalier attitude toward user privacy. An early instant messenger exchange Mark had with a college friend won’t help put these concerns to rest. According to SAI sources, the following exchange is between a 19-year-old Mark Zuckerberg and a friend shortly after Mark launched The Facebook in his dorm room:
Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask.
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?
There an interesting video the other day http://boingboing.net/2013/12/31/jacob-appelbaums-must-watch.html I believe he mentions the NSA and hacking wireless routers, perhaps they created it. additional several router models are susceptible to a hack so easy it's ridiculous, namely adding a certain user agent string to your browser lets you in.
I personally don't use wireless at home any longer,
Even with clemency I don't believe some in power will get over what he did though, there is a special sort of punishment reserved that happens when you embarrass the power structure.
Iain M Banks Culture series, some of the best SciFi I have ever read, I still chuckle every time I think of the drone bringing the body-less human head (still alive) the gift of a hat.
OK so here's my vision of the future, robot mining, robots transport ore to foundry, robots process ore to material, robots take material to factory, robots manufacture, robots deliver, robots repair, robots construct, robots guard, robots farm, robots fight wars. All that's needed, even at this point, would be a functional AI, and some of the AI work I've seen is coming along "nicely".
Crazy right? Read too much SciFi right? I'm guessing if things progress as I see them that some where around 8 or 9 billion people will be around when this robot revolution is a real thing.
Meaning what? That encryption was good enough to keep likes of the NSA out even with their resources, and so they compromised it? Or something even more insidious.

I wager 5 quatloos on the newcomer...
People get carried away with things, take for example the NSA...

Marijuana makes you stupid, that's why they call it dope.
If it's legal, is pure powdered THC far behind? So an overdose and death is possible.
Doesn't multi core imply more speed, if not by clock then by efficiency?
Why not Johnny Depp did.
(Queue repetitive commercial music) BIG CRUNCH *chorus* it's gonna squash your brain* BIG CRUNCH "Start your morning as a singularity"
Over that time scale genetic drift alone would mean we wouldn't see them as human.
"half-assed, hipster-inspired "web design"."
LOL
If only for the fact it sounds delicious.

Is this good for his ego? I'm sure there's an inflation joke in there some where.

I had the pleasure to find this, it is (they are) a BRUTAL read, but it was worth it.

Well that says it all doesn't it, too bad no one has stopped to consider the implications of 8 billion people and jobs moved to robotics.
