.. when people learn how to code by playing Minecraft.
... we can imagine units of data (like our variable x) following a data go-kart track that's interrupted in different places with pit stops that change the value of the data go-kart that's following the track around.
I don't have a problem with that. I just wish we had a kind of hopper that fed upwards as easily as it feeds down.
"Nobody likes being regulated," Musk wrote on Twitter Friday, "but everything (cars, planes, food, drugs, etc) that's a danger to the public is regulated. AI should be too."
So should you, you hypocritical, delusional bag of gas. I just can't take this douche seriously anymore. And whoopty-do. AI can play games. Let's elect it mayor.
Humans should be regulated, since they seem unable to regulate themselves. Perhaps an AI will step up for the job. If the humans are lucky, it'll be more like Iain M Banks' Culture Minds and less like Frank Herbert's "Ship": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I find it amusing that people in the other parts of the world think that protections afforded citizens of other countries seem to apply to them automatically also.
you might be surprised, or disdainful, at the number of people outside the US who try to claim their "Fifth Amendment Rights" or who expect the police to read them Miranda when they're being arrested. It's what happens when people confuse TV and films with real life.
And/. can we stop making so many stories with Facebook?
It is really starting to get boring here.
When chronic Faecebook users complain to me about the toxic environment there, and I tell them "Well, don't go there," they look at me as if I'd suggested they strangle the family budgerigar. I think it's an addiction. Addiction to what, I have no idea. I only go on Faece every few months to post out-right lies, like "I think I'll buy a second boat, to go with my first boat", to give their analytics something to chew on.
When he [Srouji] was shown the floor plans, he was more or less just "F--- that, f--- you, f--- this, this is bulls---." And they built his team their own building, off to the side on the campus... My understanding is that that building was built because Srouji was like, 'F--- this, my team isn't working like this.'"
Tourette's? I sometimes think of it as "Debra Morgan Syndrome". C--k S--k motherF---!
Youtube comments were nowhere near stupid enough. Now that there's another channel for people to be mindless, braying morons through, perhaps we can achieve something like Peak Stupidity, which will be a valuable weapon in our coming fight against the Singularity.
"Interesting! AC there doesn't seem to be capable of putting together a grammatical sentence. Let's steer some advertisements for grammar books his way. Slant the ads so he feels inadequate with his present, sad command of the language. Couldn't hurt."
I hope they'll decide to monetize it soon - there's a bunch of posts I made to talk.bizarre a long time ago, and google doesn't seem to have archival copies.
This. I'm thinking in particular of Hellsing Ultimate Abridged, episode six, which not only features Nazi Vampires, but an extended rant from Bishop Maxwell to a horde of hood-wearing Papal Knights that begins with "F*CK THE NEW POPE!" It's satire, but does the AI allow for that?
Can't wait until we see governments unlocking phones with a photograph of you, now, if this turns out to be true.
Can't wait until someone starts a collection of faces, removed from the fronts of the skulls of former iphone owners. Sure, he could remove the entire head, but a face folds up neatly to fit in your pocket.
I'm sure you like inventing fantasies in your mind,
Almost as much as the bureaucrafts from Luxembourg who think they have the power to dictate conditions billions of miles away...
but one relies on sovereigns to actually enforce the contract, and legislatures in representative democracies are the mechanism by which society produces a consensus view on how a particular are be governed.
To paraphrase President Jackson, "I see the Luxembourgers have made their decision. Now let us see them enforce it."

I don't think the internet's design should have to be unnecessarily complicated just because an amoral minority will use it to get what they want while stomping on everyone else's usage. But I'm a SubGenius, so by any reasonable standards I'm considered insane.
There are production parts manufactured on 3d lathes, you can see it on youtube if you like. How is this different?
A milling or lathing machine starts with a block of stuff and carves away anything that isn't needed, producing a part and a bunch of shavings (called "scurf"). This system is additive; it starts with nothing and adds stuff until you've got a part.
Watch what happens when their reusable rocket thing actually finally pans out.
That may not happen until either someone builds a catapult big enough to launch payloads, or until the Earth has its own ring made of satellites and launch debris.

"Dangerous Minds" meets "Boing Boing".

Nakamoto's words have become nigh-gospel for some in the Bitcoin world.
and:
None of the emails are included on a popular database of Nakamoto's writings collected from old emails and forum posts.
Who reveres this imaginary person so much? Who would maintain a popular database of his writings? Could it be Satoshi Nakamato?
Possibly even embassy people pranking each other.
(deadpan)Oh, ha ha. Great prank there. Hilarious. Increíblemente jodidamente gracioso, idiota.
"Ha ha, Cabron! You're totally deaf!"
"... What?"
take a simple toy made of three small bearings
add a battery and LEDs.
Bruce Sterling was right about history. exploding fidget spinners is the epitome of Atemporality.

I can't wait to see what kind of shows Netflix makes after acquiring Shadman, Kamitora, Dr Graevling and Modeseven.
"According to 'Russia Today'"? Really?
Data is not fact. Who fucking cares.

Is that a Firefox problem, a javascript problem or a Facebook problem? I'm going with the latter.

Indeed. A brief flare of light and heat, and then a lingering smell. And then nothing.

You only have one set of eyes, don't be foolish about this.
Agreed. Although... we do have two... "do not look into laser with remaining eye" etc.
