    So first you're Batman and now Dr Phil?

    The anti-profiling crowd doesn't like it but there are expectations of certain behaviors set by demonstrations of previous patterns based by geography and ethnicity. Ignoring those patterns is what's insane, and in many cases will shorten your life expectation considerably.

    If you can't see the truth in that you're either completely clueless or desperately attempting to live out a dystopian liberal fantasy.

    My goal here is to make sure that mentally ill people don't spread their lies unchecked. I'm only out to defend the truth,

    You're not a fucking Batman. You could be described as being just as looney for declaring yourself some arbiter of all that is true in the world.

    What I have described is obviously my opinion. At no time did I pose as any government agency stating this would happen. More likely than not you're a troll just trying to direct traffic to your shitty 1990's designed website.

    No we are not in agreement.

    Lets take this out of court. Agency X needs to determine if this person is safe to do Y. They get your username and look up your friends and comments and associations. Support he NRA? Have family members that said they want to shoot person Z?

  9. I love what you have posted and believe you're correct on all but three points:

    and in fact can't because we simply lack the mental capacity.

    I believe the brain is a muscle, and our capacity can grow over time or generations as we work to improve ourselves.

    then blames everyone else for the bad and takes credit for the good.

    It's always my fault, and it's my goal to help everyone on my team to succeed. Whether that team is family or co-workers or a few other people that hold a special place in my heart. Placing blame is never productive.

    If a single bad decision will bone us then we're boned

    Some bad decisions are worse than others. I can choose to wear only my underwear to work, or the president could decide to nuke Iran, or he could try to nuke Russia. To some degree I, or all of us would be boned. It's still to be determined how bad an AI could bone us.

    I think a change for the better if you consider my following proposal;

    1. Remove millions of miles of asphalt that's creating heat bubbles around our cities. Leave some major infrastructure intact like highways etc.
    2. Major roads can have electric cars, buses, trains etc.
    3. Replace minor roads with a more natural material that doesn't absorb heat For pedestrians, bicycles, and horses, buggies.
    4. Bring back the horses and horse drawn buggies for the places we removed roads.
    5. Plant more tree's along the new and old roads to absorb more CO2. ( Trees breathe out what we breathe in and cool the planet )

    Reduced emissions will be the result of less cars, tree's will eat the CO2, Horses are smart, self replicating and can consume a wide variety of fuels and the temps will be *vastly* cooler without all the blacktop.

    Less noise, more fertilizer, cheaper transportation, beneficial symbiotic relationship with the environment etc. :)

    At the rate they are shutting things down and forcefully installing windows 10 on peoples computers we may all see MS whimper itself out of existence.

  16. The problem is that people conflate intelligence with knowledge. They are not the same. Intelligence is the rate by which new knowledge can be absorbed and assimilated. Experience is putting that knowledge into practice.

    Knowledge amplifies intelligence to be sure, but you will not be any more smarter once you come out of college than when you went in. The knowledge acquired will allow you to apply your intelligence to acquire experience which is what everyone is really looking for.

    That said, AI is really giving intelligence to non-human entities. There's a wealth of knowledge available and the speed at which it can absorb and assimilate has still yet to be determined.

    Once the AI reaches the 'self help' section of data acquisition and processing we could well be in a world of hurt if it has any ability to affect a change in it's environment.

    Consider how much teens have the ability to learn with all their free time to learn and explore, and how fast a computer could learn at the same stage, having the ability to be on 24/7 and not have to sleep or eat with a fat pipe to the Internet.

    We could well be boned if we don't do this *just right*

    They don't need permission from social media to use the freely available APIs. An ass-ton of information is generated on anyone with a Facebook account and visits a site with a Facebook icon. Companies can harvest this information someone anonymously. Governments will be able to pinpoint one individual and then look at all that data, including where you go which is now tracked by Facebook also.

    You should look into how Facebook works before making assumptions based on the perspective of the consumer. Sorry, you are the product, not the consumer. That's your first and only hint.

    This. We as drivers program ourselves to make decisions about our lives and how we weigh our choices at the moment is our resolve.

    I cannot in conscious abdicate the right to self-determination, especially when the legal outcome has not been determined for me if I should live. Getting any kind of a conviction in the U.S. is career suicide unless I am a lawyer or politician.

    Expound on the morality of the issue all you want. The final decision as to whether the outcome was predetermined or premeditated will belong to the jury.

    The real question I want the answer to is who will be on trial? Even then, until there is a sufficient body of judicial precedent I refuse to own, operate or allow to be carted away to my funeral in one.
