An AI that can be entertained can also be bored. Do you really want an AI that can get bored? "Huh, the Scary Monkey show isn't much fun lately. Let's build a giant magnifying glass and see if we can stir them up a bit."
leave the phone at home. leave everything electronic at home (except maybe an inexpensive digital camera with no sd cards, just on board memory). don't even take a flash drive or camera card. take a few non controversial books. use a prepaid phone at your destination.
So you show up at the airport gate with a burner phone. They go through it - no contacts, no recent calls, no net usage.. you haven't even chosen a custom wallpaper. Obviously, you have something to hide. We'd better take this guy in until he tells us what he's done with his real phone and why he's concealing it.
I'm guessing this is one of those situations where they need to be seen to be addressing the problem, even if their solution won't work. Hey, Village Roadshow - stop forcing people to sit through forty minutes of advertisements (most of them for the Village Roadshow Advertising service) and copyright warnings AT CINEMAS before you grudgingly display the content we paid for, and then we can talk.
have you ever seen any of those hilarious blogs by artists and graphic designers who undertake commissions from people ignorant of, well, it seems ignorant of everything? the sort of people who ask you to take a full color photo of the finished work and fax it to them and then complain that they can't load it into microsoft word? "No, that blue is the wrong blue, we wanted a different blue. I don't know! A different blue to that one!"
automated software production? this. times a million.
perhaps youtube needs an "actively dislike" button. it indicates "if you even suggest this video to me again, i will punch someone. probably someone working for youtube."
Maybe they could manufacture billions of them and then arrange them so that they set each other off in patterns and then make an optical model of the human brain.
No amazing philosophical observations, but it'd make one hell of a light show.
Didn't find any pearls, worse luck, but we f- my god, what the hell is this? it looks like a bottle full of green aspic with a weasel skeleton floating in it.
"Spanish scientists say they have..." and not "Spanish scientists have"
"The so-called bioprinter uses"... so-called? What else would you call it?
"... and capable of producing its own human collagen, the researchers claim."
"According to UC3M, the technology could be used to..."
This is a far cry from headlines that scream "SCIENTISTS ARE -", only to be followed by an article that says "Some scientists think that maybe one day soon -"

People are the problem, not the match-making system.
people are the problem with any computer system. most of them would run perfectly if it wasn't for the users.
Until we develop an AI that can read between the lines honestly good luck with that
I don't think most people can even read between the lines, and especially men when it comes to women.
and this is how AI will overtake humanity effortlessly.
and i for one welcome our date-matching AI overlords. they could bring about the end of the world simply by matching the wrong people.

"Hold and Modify" radio. i'm sure someone out there has done that.

well.. a few more than you'd usually see...
I can still print out animated .GIFs, right?
No battery to charge, folds up if required, can be marked with any pen or pencil and there is no UI to learn or fumble with.
I had to learn the UI. What, were you born knowing how to read and write?
Didn't find any pearls, worse luck, but we f- my god, what the hell is this? it looks like a bottle full of green aspic with a weasel skeleton floating in it.
Let me know if they find a mirror that answers to the name of Persilian.
If you don't like the noises, then turn up the volume on your music player.
Am I the only one thinking "MenschenJäger Mark Eins"?
.. but I've never had a supervisor direct me to find an anus, and therefore I've never had to report to a supervisor "Sorry, couldn't find it."
Cynic in me wonders why they haven't already hired Ben Kingsley to impersonate one.
Trump: "How much is 2 + 2?"
THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!
yeah? tell that to Dr Emilio Lizardo, monkey boy!
All I can say is, thank god for .. uh.. right.
It's been patched.

Yet we consider it funny to ridicule them in ways that would not be acceptable for other disabilities. Why is that?
If you feel your position in the tribe is threatened, the safest thing to do is lead an attack on someone even less capable.
