Crapnovate (new word), usage/meaning just enough innovation to look good but enough crap to force you to upgrade to the latest version. Root words Crap (we all know what that means) and Novation, which is defined as: N. (Law): Substitution of a new obligation for an old one, or the remodeling of an old obligation.
Of course, this causes problems for humans: when every single thing you can do can be better done by a machine, what do you do?
What do you want? All the crap in the world? Nay... How about, learning everything knowable? You might get bored... Let's see, if you were able to get into the mind of the AI you would note a few interesting things, but surely you would go insane with the artificial size of its thought collection -- hold on, you can do that with humanities collection of writings, nothing new here.
The only thing AI can do better than humans is to show us what we shouldn't be wasting our time on! It would force the point home better than anything previously in existence.
At the end of the game, you have two choices: To repeat or move on to the next level? The only problem is nobody knows what the next level is or if it exists at all.
Too bad so many people have this sentiment about AI, hehe... If you knew what I know, you won't say such things.
I couldn't agree more with James Martin. So few people approach the problem correctly that we are moving forward at a snails pace. Its always at the wrong meta level and people don't see it... Its getting boring watching you people say "This will never happen. Never. Trust me." -- No trust me!!! The only reason someone like me hasn't programmed the thing is because of the consequences and possible dangers to the world... The current philosophical problems I'm working on don't even come close to nice and quite frankly make me what to abandon the idea...
Just don't say "Never", when you haven't a clue about the number of possibilities and number of people working on the problem...
I'd be surprised if it doesn't hit the world by 2005, and completely change the world by 2012... Bye, bye, for now.
Its not bad, except for the small businesses and the like that don't have $millions to start-up their business. If we had one more revolution in the regard to individual freedoms, I think it would probably be the only way to go.
Having been interested in the whole debate and read most of the articles and discussions on it, it seems the faults of the patent system are really apart of the big business corporatism. These issues all come from the problems related to placing $$$billions in the hands of a few and expecting them to act in a fair or an uncorrupted manner, which nobody seems capable of! They always get bent on crushing the competition and extracting more money from the customers (i.e. everyone) to pay for their power and control.
As for solutions, its up to the government allow or not allow something like this to happen... So, its actually a direct problem with the peoples' inability to monitor our(US)/their own government and have it perform the way we want it to work.
All power in any real "free" country comes from the people, anyway. Corrupt people tent to ignore everything but lots of money and concentrated power pools.

Crapnovation, rings true.

What's up with the self "pun"-ishment behavior people use when they use a pun? (Ok, I get it..)
