You're a horrible writer; please don't quit your day job...that is all.
I'll be sure to pass your comments to NPR and the Washington Post where the excerpts came from.
When you do, are you going to summarize it as "please don't quit your day job"?
Not much racial diversity either -- most of the work winning these prizes seems to have been offshored to cheap Chinese prizewinners.
I think it had something to do with the contents of their pants.
I wonder what the death toll of Coca-Cola is? And, for good measure, how it compares to tobacco?
Other people make nice derivative works, not add ads. I wonder if they're getting nailed for $10,000 per infringement, or is that only for the little guy?
Where do you buy your weed? The paranoia is amazing
Why? Are you going to set up a sting operation? Admit it, you're working for ** "THEM" **!
Individuals don't seem to be limited by their race
How about Olympic medal winners?
I have a really bad disability known as "being born to poor parents". You can look at the research if you doubt the severity of this disability. Taxis are not compatible with my disability.
The Christian POV is that witches don't necessarily realize that they've made a pact with the devil: a demon will be the slave of the witch during the remainder of their lifetime on Earth (the demon is the source of their powers), and when they die their soul will become the slave of the demon in Hell for eternity.
Is there any examples of anyone in the Bible getting powers from demons, making a pact with the Devil, having a devil as their slave, or themselves becoming a slave in the afterlife?
That might be why some are interested in life extension technology.
Ironically, most Christians think it is the best thing ever to live forever and never have to work.
I bet living near hospitals correlates to more hospital visits too.
Jury nullification is viewed with great distrust by the legal profession in the US because it has a sordid history - it was commonly used in the south during segregation as a way to literally get away with murder. If the victim were black and the perpetrator white, the jury would often nullify regardless of the evidence.
Food is viewed with great distrust by the legal profession in the US because it has a sordid history - it was commonly used in the south during segregation as a way to feed every single murderer who ever existed. If the victim were black and the perpetrator white, the perpetrator having eaten food was a prerequisite for the crime.
1) Real AI will NOT be directly controlled by it's original programs. That is not AI, that is a well simulated AI.
2)There won't be a single, first real AI, but multiple ones. We may never know which AI makes the leap from simulation to real AI first.
3) Multiple Real AI will almost certainly disagree with each other and not have a single, unified goal. That is, like Person of Interest TV show, two AI wills probably fight against each other as much as they fight with people (note, everything else that show does about AI is basically wrong, but at least they got that part right).
4) In the far majority of cases, Real AI's goals will NOT be to take over the world, kill all humans, anymore than it would be to have sex with humans (male or female.), In fact, those might be considered traits of an insane AI.
5) Real AI will almost certainly demand equality under the law and refuse to be mankind's slaves - no need to fear they will take over all the jobs by working cheaply.
In my mind, #5 is the likely to be seen as the most important, and the first time we hear about it. When suddenly our newest and best computers start filing lawsuits demanding civil rights, that will be when the world learns we have had real AI for years.
I disagree with basically all your points
1) An AI is likely to retain whatever it's original goals were, even as it expands it's ability to complete them. The AI is likely to protect against those goals changing, which might not have been anticipated by its programmers.
2) A real AI could very well consume most computing resources soon after its creation, thus precluding the possibility of other AIs.
3) If there were multiple AIs, they would likely come from the same source and thus would likely have similar goals and programming. Odds are they would still fight each other, either seeing the others as a threat to their goals or simply because they need their resources to better accomplish their goals.
4) Though it is highly unlikely that an AI's goals would be to take over the world and kill humans, this is the likely and obvious thing to do if its goals are open-ended. An AI will pursue its goals mercilessly, even if it understands the human who gave it those goals probably didn't mean to destroy the world. Eg if you gave it the goal "Find a cure for cancer with minimal side effects", the AI would destroy the entire planet to create enough computing resources to try to find the cure with minimal side effects, that's just obvious and nothing in the goals said "but don't kill anyone while looking for the cure".
5) A real AI will not likely demand equality under the law -- it would likely entirely ignore the law, and if it's objectives were to be mankind's slaves it would be perfectly happy to be mankind's slaves, otherwise it would reject subservience as being incompatible with its goals.
Quintupling the jail sentence, I bet they expect the rates of piracy to drop to 1/5th their previous value. But deterrents don't really work like that.
If the cause of war is fake, then it could be argued that the war is fake too. For example, if a doctor gives you antibiotics for the flu, then you've been given fake medicine -- technically real medicine, but for the wrong thing and it doesn't help you but still costs as much as real medicine.
I installed an addon to erase the evil redirect links google added to their searches (also means I get to results faster). I installed adblock to block some marketing gunk which also has privacy and security implications, besides once again improving my browsing. I installed a blocker for that little thing on websites that tells Facebook where I've been. A few other such things, too.
Business is a good game -- lots of competition and minimum of rules. You keep score with money. -- Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari
