Actually, I think the opposite is true: if it is indeed AI (actually thinking, and not only within predetermined boundaries), one of the first potential threats that would rise to its radar is human irrational behaviour.
Our worst enemy would be our own dishonesty and denial (of reality).
I'm wondering how they're going to 'patrol' the galaxy for 'incomings'. I suppose incoming-light imagery wouldn't be enough, and it would take a periodic certain-frequency multidirectional 'wave blast', to pick up its return reflecting from anything hiding out there... great way to announce our presence, too.
Well, it's a start. I'm waiting for the technology that allows us to 'pour' metal into 'nanoforms' - say, interlocking wire pyramids - which would allow for stronger, lighter, less-resource-consuming, and -flexible- forms.
You know that 'wife-like' is because of our tradition in training the female brain in 'wife things'. Maybe it's time to look towards forming a society where -wives- are more pc-friendly.
'Authorised devices' (with a certificate/token authentication), with a -backup- password or other method. Every device has its own MAC address, why not take advantage of that? Of course, that doesn't eliminate -stealing- the device... but at least you can't do that from a distance ; ).
Hm, I don't quite agree. I think a 'use it or lose it' condition on patent claims would be both protective and productive. Oh, and I'd like to see that ideal applied to cybersquatters and their ilk, too.
The missing "a" does make sense: aren't "man" and "mankind" synonymous? "A man" and "mankind" are obviously different, and if used would make a more meaningful (and humble) phrase meaning: "one l'il tippytoe for l'il old me, but what a mark of progress!".
...that MON 180 ~didn't~ pose a health risk, either; more research is probably needed for both parties. The French are not big eaters of corn, anyways.
...as there exists already an international phonetic alphabet, an alphabet that includes annotations for lilts, gutteral intonations and such. Why not just add the IPA pronunciation of each word to a given language dictionary, and have the computer read that? This would greatly reduce the 'training' work needed by the end user. It would also open new possibilities for text-to-speech translation, or even speech-to-speech translation.
To date I have found no text-to-speech reader on any platform that can understand (and speak) IPA symbols.
They both copied the PARC gui - that was limited in its function (no overlapping windows, etc) - but Apple copied it better. And have been ahead ever since.
It's not from where you take ideas that is important, it's where you take them.
Jobs was good at one thing: Ergonomics. Not only did he know his product was good, he knew why it would be useful to consumers even before it was ever made. That merits respect - most CEO's either don't care what they sell, or only want to make 'what's already selling'.

Or am I thinking too much again?

The DNA 'change' in exercised muscles is probably an altering in (or activation of) cell-division behaviour.

IMHO, cars won't be (safely) automated until roads are. Yeah, I know, catch-22.

...sounds like a 'Charlie's Angels' episode.
I hope he's not referring to schtupping.
But why are they calling it a 'printer'? The comparison to 'data-driven' (aka 'computer controlled') 3D printer is apples to oranges.

Oh, much, much worse.

...could be blocked! What about www.expertsexchange.com? Oh yeah, forgot the hyphen: that should be experts-exchange.com.
Well, at least some here are at least wise enough to see the opportunity for a good joke ; )
Microsoft already cut the chord a decade ago - with their sh*tty Windows XP boot chime.
Answer: They filtered to MSql databases.
...be ~higher~ if I was there, expecially after the two-bottle-of-vodka bender that would precede my visit...
