I disagree. AMEX had to feed this LISP program real world transactions to train it, and it had to be tailored to individual spending patterns to be useful. Also, perceptrons and weights were implemented in LISP long before they were in Python/Keras.
Certainly, this application was very focused, and could in no way be considered 'general AI', it was a heck of a lot smarter about detecting fraud than an individual.
Actually, AI in one form or another has been around for a while. Back in the 80s, my father sold (LISP?) software to American Express, that they used to identify patterns of charges. From these patterns they could discern legitimate transactions from fraudulent ones. I believe it was called the 'Artificial Reasoning Tool' from a company called Inference in California.
Nowadays, it's somewhat common to get an email or text messages from your credit card provider signalling you of potential fraud. The fact of the matter is, that functionality has been around for 30+ years.
WalMart's answer to employee unions was easy: shut down the store where the union succeeded, and open another one nearby later. A "kill it before it grows" strategy.
It'll be interesting to see how Amazon retaliates.

Frankly, I don't see how Musk will ever capitalize on the full award given the never-ending cash-burn, and constantly receding break-even horizon. If the capital markets dry up, Tesla will go out like a perforated lithium battery.
While the article, true or not, is ripe with fearmongering...I wonder what our geopolitical rivals have to say about our undeclared "Doomsday" arsenal.
I don't see NVIDIA going after people who install the software in a datacenter. I see them using this licensing clause to quash lawsuits from people who do violate the terms, and end up having some sort of issue running the hardware where NVIDIA could be held liable. Be it something extreme like a fire from overheating, to a chip-level problem like what Intel has recently been going through You're running this software/hardware in a datacenter, and we told you not to. Liability absolved...maybe.
I can't see treatments like this coming to market without huge cash dispensing machines like public or private insurance. The market for those needing treatment is just too small to offset the price of R&D.
Perhaps a better financial approach would be for our public institutions to offer a large bounty for cures like this. (And a substantially lower bounty for remedies that are periodic continuously taken treatments.) Then the private market can respond with a price point that makes having medical insurance irrelevant.
Yes, troll. I doubt on his application to the police academy he expressed interest in responding to fake 911 calls from adult babies playing video games. No doubt, he failed as a police officer, but you can't say he asked to respond to pranks.
Yes, I do feel badly for the cop. He and the victim were the only two people who didn't ask to be put in that situation. And yes, he will justly pay, in so many different ways, for his decision to open fire.
Examples are going to be made of everyone. The kid who did the Swatting. The kid who paid for the swatters services. And the unfortunate cop who pulled the trigger. 4 lives minimum, ruined.
There is something you guys should understand about Wall Street (particularly Goldman Sachs a.k.a. The Vampire Squid) getting into the cryptocurrency futures market. You would think on the surface, if you write (or go short) a Gold, or Oil, or even Cattle contract, that you have to come up with the goods when the futures contract matures. However, there is the little discussed option of "Cash Settlement". If you can't meet the obligations of the futures contract, you can simply pay the owner of the contract what those goods are worth in US Dollars. The markets tout this as good thing for all market participants, but in reality, it is a gross perversion of the market in general. It effectively turns your Cattle, or Oil, or Gold market into a US Dollar market.
And now they're doing the very same thing to the BTC market. When people are short BTC futures and have to come up with the goods, they don't have to worry about spiking the spot market looking for BTC. They just have to shell out USD. And the Powers That Be have LOTS of USD to spend on either side of that trade.
Oracle OnDemand was, and from what I hear still is, notoriously shitty.
Call it what you want: It's still somebody else who doesn't have your business urgency in mind, with an eye towards spending the least amount of money possible (on both hardware and people) managing your database and application infrastructure....and gouging you a premium for it. In this case, it's Oracle, who really doesn't give a crap about you past your next purchase.
Call it "Cloud". Call it "Hosted". I call it dereliction of IT Management fulfilling their duties of recruiting good people and sensibly provisioning their capital budget.
We had softball size hail the other day. To people outside, that's potentially lethal. The killing power of tornadoes speak for themselves. Most countries don't have the frequency, or magnitude, of tornadoes and hail that the United States' midwest does. That is the primary, and most certainly useful, purpose of the civil-defense sirens. (...you insensitive clod.)
Absent severe weather, the sirens blaring at night is potentially an indicator that you should prepare to kiss your family, neighbors, and ass good-bye.
Understand folks, these sirens NEVER go off unless they're testing or there's a tornado,large hail, etc.
Rousing people from their sleep in this manner, coincidentally right after we launch 60 cruise missiles at a Russian ally, is fucking frightening. Frankly, it wasn't until I learned on Twitter that Dallas was the only place were the sirens were going off that the panic subsided.
