Indeed. A not-replaceable battery is a severe design fault IMO and will reliably prevent me from buying. Compatibility with Lineage is another must-have. No, I do not care if this limits the selection.
These were cheaters. They did things the game ordinarily does not allow. For example, one was completely unaware of me being behind him for 20 seconds or so and when I shot at him he just turned extremely fast for an immediate head-shot directly after my first shot. Not possible without cheating with that speed, humans are just not that fast. On the rest I got fragged 5 times in clearly legitimate fashion.
So, yes, I am pretty sure. And no, I do not accuse good players of cheating, even though I know many people do.
Well, since "Intellectual Property" is all about might and money and politics, it does not seem to be subject to morality either, by that argument. I do not disagree. I think the only moral issue that arises is when somebody claims to have something invented first and they did not.
I agree to that, also to the self-driving cars. They are certainly not AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and anything else is really just dumb automation. But no matter, dumb automation without insights or understanding seems to be perfectly capable of driving a car in all regular situations. What we are actually doing is not building intelligent machines, but finding out that a lot of tasks humans are (so far) needed for do not actually require intelligence. I am perfectly fine with that as well.
I predict that as soon as self-driving cars become generally available, insurance premiums will do the rest very fast, because on average these will cause far less and far less costly accidents. This will probably go even faster in Europe that the US, because here "unlimited" is pretty standard for car insurance and (I think, I have never owned a car) 2M or so is the minimum. This will probably also revolutionize car-sharing, as you can simply order a car to some time and place. Looking forward to that, because I am not a good driver and sometimes a car is useful even in a large city.
What people do not realize (because they ignore or do not know human history), "criminals" described Jews in Nazi Germany, "politically unreliable people" under Stalin, etc. The next Hitler will get all his victims served on a plate, no way to hide. The only way to prevent that is to ban these technologies outright and very clearly label them as what they are: A tool for oppression that is a severe threat to anybody.
Oh, and actual criminals are either not important enough or get caught just fine without technology like this.
I played PUBG for a few hours and in that time I got killed 3 times definitely by cheaters and 2 more times probably (out of 10). I really do not know why anybody (except the cheaters) would want to play this. Git a STEAM refund with this complaint without any problem.
From the numbers of actually banned cheaters I saw recently, things have not gotten any better.
You know, I cannot think of any single thing. The US seems to be hard at work remove any shred of moral superiority if may (or may not) ever have had. The exclusion was just to specify the issue under discussion, not to say anything about other things.
For the US mostly. China now thinks they benefit more from IP protections than from not having them and that simply means they produce more value now from their own IP than from things they copy.
Indeed. Impressive quantitative advancements, absolutely nothing on the qualitative side. That does extent the applications dramatically, bit these things still have zero (general) intelligence and zero insight.
I have absolutely no issue with that. But it is not the same thing. It is problem-driven. Much if the AI hype is fantasy driven about the new slaves we are all going to get, or alternatively, the overloads that will kill us. And that is nonsense.
One thing that needs to be crystal clear. We do not have to achieve qualia of consciousness for an AI to understand the world.
That is a completely baseless assumption. In fact, the only entities we have that can understand the world have consciousness and heavily use it in that process. Hence the only reasonable default assumption is that it is needed and everything else would need extraordinary proof. You do not even have regular proof...

And it shows nicely what happens with monopolies: Bad and worse quality.
You mean the NSA that got Kaspersky banned because they would not ignore NSA malware?
Technology does not cause genocide, sure. But it can make it so much easier.

Spoken like a real fan of fascism. Maybe have a look into a history-book sometime?
That in addition.

You will get no argument on that from me.

So this whole thing has happened before and any moral arguments are basically lies. No surprise.
Joke is on you. It means they have stolen enough and can now continue to grow on their own merit.
That is how this works. The US does not have any moral high-ground in this regard.
For the US mostly. China now thinks they benefit more from IP protections than from not having them and that simply means they produce more value now from their own IP than from things they copy.

What can I say, I just have a beef with natural stupidity, and there is plenty of that in the AI threads.

Well, we do not really have a different approach and we do not really know how to improve the existing one either.
I think the statement is more that ML systems use the wrong approach to identifying reality and get a very fragile performance as a result.
If you do not understand that understanding is different, then you do not have understanding. Sorry. Does make you part of the larger crowd though.
