    I am sick of the latest "boogy-man". The far left and the entertainment industry have cried wolf way too many times.

    The same goes for :
    - Pedophile
    - Racist
    - Rapist
    - Russian
    - Terrorist
    - Global Cooling
    - Global Warming
    - Climate Change

    When will they get the clue that accusations aren't evidence and name calling is powerless irl? Fuck off already.

    If you had a LinkedIn account you would understand that's a no-shit sherlock moment. LinkedIn *is more obvious* about what it does, in the same way.

    It's no secret. It's not new. The Facebook crowd is *just now* understanding how the tech they been using works.

    You must recall that Facebook pretty much sums up the least common denominator in the Internet society.

    So far as I have perceived AI is just more advanced if-then-else routines albeit on much faster systems with magnitudes more ram than existed in the old DOS MUD days.

    Humanity has a unique way of freaking itself out over shit it makes.

      "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

    "The reason why journalists use that style of headline is that they know the story is probably bullshit, and don’t actually have the sources and facts to back it up, but still want to run it. "

    Biologically speaking homosexuality is bad for the replication of any species in it's most basic form, with the exception of creatures that are capable of legitimately swapping between the male or female role in order to mate.

    This is a scientific certitude that only delusion will argue with.

  19. Re:Garbage in.... on When an AI Tries Writing Slashdot Headlines (tumblr.com) · · Score: 1

    Logical reasoning is required to program a *sane* AI. As noted above, garbage in, garbage out.

    The trouble is AI's are being written that will have zero biological constraints for successful replication. Physical constraints may be RAM, nonvolatile storage, or CPU.

    What would be the algorithm that determines the propagation of sane, successful, code?

    Who or what algorithm determines what access to physical devices these AI have?

    What Assurances can we trust that AI's of various capacities aren't able to escape and inhabit systems they have not been rated, tested, or approved to inhabit?

    I can imagine a refrigerator app feeling a little down and decided to run a cruise ship for a bit and having absolutely no idea how to navigate a channel. When the only physical restriction to access is an Internet connection this could be a real possibility. Assuming AI has any feelings at all.

    The point of the article would make this impossible without the expert modification of other video sources outside of the control of one person or organization. If online versions don't perfectly corroborate what the police have or someone contributes an edited video it will be bleeding obvious.

    The more user submissions the tighter the evidence will be.

    Then there will be no more conflicting evidence for the media to exaggerate.
