Beware the man bearing gifts, especially one's you actually have to pay for.
Besides, fears over the singularity are not that insightful. Nobody knows what will happen, so its easy to describe fearsome possibilities. In my opinion AI will be controlled by capital, and will benefit those who have the capital at the expense of those that do not, just as it has been for a long time. Why would people be wary of that future when it has been readily accepted as reality for generations already? I think our current administration proves my point.
Any person who relies on external stimulation to cure boredom is doomed to be bored. (Possibly not including books.) The cure for boredom is an active and creative mind. Anything that facilitates creativity and allows it to thrive will help. Anything that boxes creativity in will perpetuate boredom. Technology can do both, whether its phones or the web or games with specific goals, but there seems to be more money in the latter. And, ultimately, boredom is passive and creativity is active. A person needs to pursue stimulation to fight boredom.
I've always found that only boring people get bored. Sadly for them.
I imagine it is just the Russians and Chinese trying to keep up with what the other is up to. Or maybe its just the Russians spying on the Russians. There can't be anything interesting happening there originating from US sources.
I thought Moore's comments had to do with the impact of transistor counts on cost. Huang seems to be talking about increased performance without reference to cost. I'm not a gamer, but isn't there a lot of squawking about GPU costs? I wasn't at the talk, so maybe Huang addressed that as well. [Maybe he also assumed people would do the cost vs performance calculation in their heads.]
This from the state that issued 12,000+ speeding tickets in 33 days from 5 cameras. Rhode Island obviously wants to lead the country in bringing on the police state. I think police access to all Home voice assistants is a logical next step. Liberty is way over-rated. Bring it!
As long as we figure out a way of moving huge numbers of displaced workers into other careers that can pay the bills and provide a sense of self-respect, everything will be fine!
Hopefully, they'll tell the vorld when its ready, or ze whole point vill be lost, despite the fact that the Cobalt Thorium G definitely seems like overkill, if I may use the word.

I wonder how many people who eat at Jack in the box make minimum wage? Perhaps they should start working on robots to consume their product as well: I'm sure a robot would be faster, and cleaner at consuming Jack in the Box product. I envision a 24/7 lights-out Jack in the box automatically making and consuming product at an incredible rate without any human involvement at all. They could even consume the packaging. How awesome would that be?
Cash does allow for transaction privacy, which credit cards definitely do not. I have nothing to hide, that doesn't mean I want ALL my purchases tracked, and linked to recent ad campaigns, and input to recommendation engines, and given to my health insurance provider, and such. (Not that that any of that would happen. ha.) Maybe there will be a bitcoin option..?
OK, now come at me, troll bros! I know how you all hate any thinking that's not pro-business, so score me a 1 and tell me all my problems.
The internet bubble came and burst. But look at what the internet is today. The bubble was just an exuberant expectation of something that builds value less slowly than expected..
I agree that trust in national currency, which are governed by forces beyond citizen concerns, and backed by corrupt governments like our own, managed by inept financial institutions, etc is no longer bedrock. In times like these people would move to gold. So think of having bitcoin like having gold. And think of its price as being set by the same mechanism.
When the day of financial reckoning comes, and it will with the next disruptive global event, which do you want to be holding: a bunch of dollars or a bunch of gold? Now think of bitcoin like that. Maybe overpriced, but idly not through exuberance but pessimissim!
I totally agree with this. NOBODY is speaking on people's behalf on the rules of the internet. Even when we [The People] speak on our own behalf in large numbers, nobody is listening.
I would add that this is ironic when you consider that this is how power talks to people. It is not a conversation with power, the promise of the web. The "world wide web" of broadcast ideas is a one way dialogue at us, and a one way collection of information from us. I'm not sure what it will take for this to change, if it can. But I'm not optimistic.
Pai is obviously trying to prepare the case for how his actions do not represent the subversion of the wishes of the people he should be serving by trying to make a molehill out of a mountain.
Its clear who he serves, and it ain't the people*.
-- even for the people who stay alive -- S/B --ESPECIALLY for
This online community relies on its brain over our hands or bodies to an unusual degree. Losing mental capacity sucks, even the natural aging stuff. [five of you know what I mean.] Alzheimer's is living death.
But starting a VC fund to fund research rather than funding NFP research organizations is a model for guiding the invisible hand in the era of small government. It's not new, but its worth mentioning. This is not a part of the charitable foundation. This is funding formerly charitable work outside the charity. Kinda sounds "for profit" to me.
Take heart and don't listen to the naysayers good people of SF. I was in Austin when GAATN was built and adopted. Yes, Time Warner passed [probably literally, but technically got Texas legislators to pass] a law saying city ownership of public network infrastructure should be illegal in Texas. But I think public ownership of fiber infrastructure and leaseback to operators for use with conditions is actually a great way to go, if the city has the will to fight ISPs. In the case of GAATN, it could have provided service but for the law, but it is still used by all public sectors of the local economy
City ownership of fiber is totally awesome, and need not be a tax burden. Quite the reverse. GAATN has paid dividends over almost 25 years! GAATN might have flaws that I'm sure the good people among you will point out. But my broad point remains: Public ownership of fiber infrastructure is good for the people who live in the public ownership service area, even if they themselves do not receive the service themselves, and even more if they do.
Besides, don't we all support a free and open internet? [besides you, Lowell or Randall]
And you're asking this about Miracle Berries?
There are much better, and more costly, examples of lying on the internet.
I agree. Its a great question.
So let's stick with berries and see where that takes us.
So, if I understand correctly, an organization who whose sensitive personal data (on almost every US taxpayer) has been compromised, is now being paid to be the sole source of verification for that very same information. What could go wrong?
I realize I am at odds with 50% of the American Electorate, but perhaps we need to get specific on who exactly is in this swamp that needs draining. Ajit Pai is cool? Equifax is legit? And people support these positions? WTF.
I don't know the exact word for state of Anarchy in which The Authority is itself is the source of the chaos and disorder. But, this seems to be current policy doctrine, supported by a large part of the electorate, for God Knows what reason. (Literally.)
I would think there would be a clause putting his equity in jeopardy in the case of malfeasance.
Oh wait, he probably has the overriding indemnification-for-all-things clause in his agreement as well.
My mistake.
I don't believe for a second that airlines will pass the savings on.
I do believe that we will see even more passengers on planes, even in the new "standing seats," and tensions will be higher. I can understand why airlines want to get as many crew out the aircraft as possible. It's ugly. Ain't nobody got time for that!
But it gets you thinking.. when a passenger hits an attendant mid flight, how will the plane make an emergency landing. Who will be in charge?

That should be easy to weaponize!
Surely just using the device voids the warranty?
