Absolutely correct, we must try to get more collaboration and cooperation not every fantasist billionaire just doing what they want, however well intentioned.
Not sure a 'game' type approach is what we want here. Seems there are two undesirable/unintended possibilities:
1. The 'competing' AIs treat this as a game and use game-style methods to win, where they are rewarded for 'winning' rather than actually proving their proposition.
2. How long before competing AIs are sufficiently smart that a human judge could not actually, reliably, tell which had proved their proposition ?
Good post and interesting numbers but of course they only reflect extradition requests that were actually made and therefore appearing in the statistics. I wonder how many times an extradition request was never submitted because it was for perhaps a US citizen for example and considered very unlikely to succeed (for reasons of attitude of the US government rather than strength of case etc. and based on experience of previous, failed, extradition requests from previous years...) ?
The controversy surrounding UK-US Extradition particularly is explained with some background and links here
Regarding this and other similar Computer Abuse and Fraud Act cases it does appear that the US justice system is more concerned with revenge than what most people would agree was 'justice'.
Great fun and very satisfying.
Hard to believe there are still
Enjoy your fantasy world while it lasts, or perhaps get involved in the conversation about what society will become when automation is able to perform 99.9% of tasks currently done by humans.
Have a read of one of the many interesting books on the subject like Superintelligence
The Blackphone 2 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. The maintainers (Silent Circle) released a patch a week ago that 'updates to the latest Qualcomm config files' but it's unclear if that fixes this specific vulnerability.
Nope, it doesn't. Still one out of four isn't bad
To the casual (and admittedly distant) observer of Obama's Presidency it looks as if he has finally had to admit that he will be unable to change things as he initially wished and that ultimately he did not fully comprehend the 'complexities' of the office.
Cynics would say that he was naive in believing that he could effect any fundamental change in areas such as government transparency but we need more people that believe they can or we might as well all pack up and head for that island (away from potential cyclones of course...)
I don't think the question is stupid. Dismissing it out of hand seems more so.
1. Asking questions such as this, where we have limited information, often spawns interesting approaches to solving them
2. Any method for detecting 'unwanted visitors' may also be effective in detecting unintelligent (but still unwanted) visitors like significant lumps of fast moving rock which if unencumbered may cause an extinction event
3. It is an opportunity to involve people across national, political, tribal and ethnic divides in pursuit of something important to all of us.
(I'm sure there are many more advantages to at least contemplating what our civilisation could do in this 'hypothetical' situation but this lot should do for demonstrating that the question is at least worth asking...)
Corollary: Don't use MS Word.
You must realize that the computer has it in for you. The irrefutable proof of this is that the computer always does what you tell it to do.
