  2. Re:Religious AI on Facebook Spares Humans By Fighting Offensive Photos With AI (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    You can't think on this AI as being a "digital person in charge of removing pictures", but as a "a creature that have the basic need of removing offensive pictures", like if it HAD to do it by instinct like you have to breathe.

    Of course nothing stops it from searching for shortcuts and easier ways to accomplish it.

    An 6Mhz Z80,bank switched memory and a HUGE media for that time? not bad, not bad at all.

  4. Actually, most trump "supporters" are not voting on him because they think he will be any good, but because they're sure he will be so bad, the system will break.
    He's as described by some as the "ctrl+alt+del" candidate, and the worse people paint him, more sure those people get on who to vote.

    It's not.
