Interesting point. But form a purely practical level, you get the rights and protections and duties of a human by having the right genetic makeup and being basically competent.
There are a lot of uncivilized barbarians around that really do not understand how civilization works and why it is important. The OP is one of them. As pathetic as it is repulsive.
Just for your information: Death threats are a crime. Falsely claiming a crime has been committed against you is also a crime. You seem to be utterly clueless how things work.
Pre-ordering on Steam is no problem. Just make sure to read some current review by people playing before playing more than 1h (or was it 2h?). Although I did get something refunded recently where I had 4h on record with the justification from my side "the game is not fun".
Yep. They delivered a working product. If you classify lying in advertisements as "fraud", 90% of the corporate world belongs behind bars. Sure, most larger companies have carefully worded lies that may, in some angle, not legally qualify as lies, but they are the same thing.
I agree to all of that. Personally, I had a pre-order on this game. When the first few reviews were bad, I asked Steam for a refund and received it with no questions asked.
The over-reactions are pretty bad though and completely irrational. This is a game, they did not promise you salvation and a place in heaven. (The people that do that have a clever delivery policy that makes complaints pretty difficult...)
These hate-mobs have no place in civilized society and just demonstrate that there is a group of people that have never understood what "civilized" means. Laws will not help, fighting hate with violence is not a workable approach. Education may help though.
Bullshit. Sure, you need to do it a the top end, but with all the nil-whits churning out bad code these days, that is not so far out of reach. And there will not be any "artificial intelligence creating self-correcting code" or "auto algorithms" anytime soon, if ever. That is a myth.
Not really. If you know what you are doing, just add some really optimized modules in C. Python is great for glue code and prototyping though and the interface to C is exactly the same as for Python classes. For the other way round (embedding the scripting in C), Python is not so great, but Lua is a somewhat Python-like replacement that is really easy to embed.
That said, no language is "the future of programming". All languages that have stood the trial of time have something going for them and have their place. All languages require somebody really competent at the keyboard to produce good software. That somebody ideally has skills and experience with a number of different languages and a solid background in data structures, algorithms and, today, usually Ibternet tech and software security. This will not change anytime soon, and may possibly not change, ever.
Ah, thanks. I was not aware of this project. I am very aware of the trolls and that they work from a set of scripts, not actual intelligence or understanding of the subject on their part involved. It is just basic propaganda with the usual tricks for manipulating an opponent in an exchange. Funnily, I had a course on that when going to university and it explained this all rather well, even though I do not find the materials anymore. It was on manipulating commercial negotiations, but that is basically the same thing.
A stellar example is the emotional approach to justify systemd, for example. Because the people behind this know they have no merit on technical grounds, they go for the emotional angle ("never start an argument you cannot win"). They also continue to ask anybody opposed to give any evidence, just as if they were in the right by default and completely ignoring all the well done collections of evidences and all the evidence already given. Sure, they are currently slowly losing this as the number of people actually running into problems with this badly done and supported trashware are raising. But many people still fall for this campaign.
There are others, not so well done smaller campaigns. For example, Intel has its trolls in here, although I think they have decided to tone it done the last few weeks as it has become obvious to even the dumbest person that Intel has massively screwed over its customers with really bad products. This is "do not draw attention to indisputable bad facts".
There is also regularly a wave of late moderation, were things get moderated done 2 days or so after being posted, possibly in an attempt to remove later visibility. I am nos sure yet whether this is targeted manipulation or some other thing.
To be able to make the car "pull over and stop" is a form of control. I should not have to say this. But it is good to know their stuff is good enough to have this minimal level of human backup.
It will allow some "developers" that have no clue what they are doing to fly under the radar for some more time and do more damage. And that is basically the only thing this will do.
Sorry to disappoint, these things are not "AI". They are just a result from around 50 years of dedicated, specialized automation research. And automation is a very, very old thing.
This is not the "proof of fitness" stage, this is still the "research" stage, so with human and, if done right, with additional safety features. This does mean that these systems can drop back to human control even when the automatics are just a bit concerned, but could actually handle the situation.
We should expect something like 10% of what we have today. Sure, that is still a large number, but think of the improvement. Eventually, it may be much, much lower though, but that may take a few decades. This tech is hard.
3DES has the problem that the keys are not independent. I don't think anybody ever found a flaw with that, but a lot of experts found this troubling. Increasing round count is also tricky, because of the key-schedule. I think the best course of action for an amateur is to just bite the bullet and use several ciphers with independent keys and just accept the longer key-length. But seriously, I don't see any need for new ciphers at this time. Breaking AES directly will be infeasible for quite a while, probably for very long. Basically all practical attacks in modern times are via protocol and implementation flaws.

So you probably think this https://www.bbc.com/news/world... is a good thing too?
I got a refund on Steam without problems.

I found Black and White incredibly boring and I really did give it a chance. I still do not understand the good reviews it got.

If you can't get Python indentations right, you may be in the wrong profession.
I second that. The style is a bit unusual, but anybody competent should not need more than a few days to get used to it.

Clever ;-)
She is making a lot of money though and some people mistake that for quality.

Statistical classifiers are not AI, whether trained or parametrized.

Security, at least when done above amateur-level, is not black and white.
Maybe criticize only research you do actually understand?
Sorry to disappoint, these things are not "AI". They are just a result from around 50 years of dedicated, specialized automation research. And automation is a very, very old thing.
Actually, almost all tricky situations are at low speed.
This is not the "proof of fitness" stage, this is still the "research" stage, so with human and, if done right, with additional safety features. This does mean that these systems can drop back to human control even when the automatics are just a bit concerned, but could actually handle the situation.

The goal of a car that performs better than a human gets closer. As human drivers are one of the major risks to limb and life, this is a good thing.
