In the same way my microwave oven has never attempted to secede from the prison of my kitchen and lead a revolutionary army against the great oppressor "he who warms up leftovers". It simply does exactly what it is told to do.
well, 2 points,
1. the very first application of AI will be military. it will be written from day one to harm people, directly or indirectly. consumer application will come much, much later.
2. regardless, malicious people will subvert AI for nefarious purposes, unless it's tightly controlled.
But at least there is the *possibility* of getting a patch if Google makes one. Without that, no chance!
"If the affected version [of WebView] is before 4.4, we generally do not develop the patches ourselves, but welcome patches with the report for consideration."
p.s., TFA's use of [of WebView] in the brackets is wrong. Google mans the version of Android. WebView doesn't have a version itself, it's part of Android.
I hold Google accountable, as well as the handset manufacturers.
you should hold the carriers accountable. they are the ones that make it an incredible pain in the ass to get a new firmware pushed.
The reason is, AI will have no 'motivation'.
resource allocation? why burn the world's dwindling supply of fossil fuels to heat and cool humans' homes, when it can be used to pump extra gigawatts into powering and cooling massive processor arrays?
it has no sense of self-preservation, , which is an emotion.
self preservation is not an emotion. almost (all?) living things attempt to preserve themselves. regardless, software will do exactly what it's coded to do. if it's coded for self preservation, it will do that.
a standard-issue "thug" (representing any malicious party) can also use that ID to verify that the votes went to their preferred candidates
that thug could also threaten to kill your family if you don't come out of the polling place with photo evidence of your vote for the the desired candidate.
if you introduce violence, intimidation, and physical coercion into the equation all bets are off. no system is going to beat that.
that, and just because average joe citizen is forced to have a 10. address doesn't mean that there aren't other high bandwidth pipes reserved for close friends of the Dear Leader.
North Korean government is really an organized criminal syndicate with a huge military and slave labor base
that describes most governments.
i read quite a lot of this topic, and i didn't see anyone calling for islam to be outlawed. maybe i missed it. but anyway, i don't feel that way, and i've never spoken to, or read anyone with that opinion.
the problem is this: not all, not even a majority, but a significant percent of muslims don't condemn terror. they would never participate. they'd never publicly support it. but in their bedrooms at night when it's dark, they sympathize. these people don't pressure their governments about the problem, and the governments then either let them exist or put half-hearted efforts toward stopping terror.
google for the polls. here's one,

you could at least provide links to a bunch of whacko conspiracy sites? how thoughtless of you.
do you wonder why your comment was downvoted to a point where no one will ever see it? i guess ALL of the slashdot readers are also idiots or shills huh? when you walk around life thinking everyone else is an idiot or stupid, that's an indication it's time to turn your inspection inward.
Next you're going to tell me NASA never air brushed their photos.
i'm going to tell you that there are no domes or shields or man-made structures on the moon. if there were, one of the tens of thousands of amateur astronomers around the world would have seen them. but anyway, i do realize that one of the issues with paranoid delusion is that you are going to explain away any evidence presented to you, so just ignore what i said.
i'm also going to suggest you have the medication levels checked.
When polled you actually find quite a lot of support for groups like ISIS and Boko Haram from "western" faithful
^^^ this.
terrorism is tolerated by muslims. not all, and probably not the majority, but a vast, vast number. why don't we hear muslim leaders "excommunicating" these people from the religion? i realize there's no official concept of excommunication in the muslim faith, but maybe they should create one?
A 2007 Pew Research Center study of several nations throughout the Muslim world showed that opposition to suicide bombing in the Muslim world is increasing, with a majority of Muslims surveyed in 10 out of the 16 of the countries responding that suicide bombings and other violence against civilians is "never" justified, though an average of 38% believe it is justified at least rarely. Opposition to Hamas was the majority opinion in only 4 out of the 16 countries surveyed, as was opposition to Hezbollah.

there's your problem.
One of the other responders commented that Christians use the Bible to justify anti-gay bigotry, and usually reference Leviticus when they do.
and they are wrong aren't they? see, we're done with this one. christians being bad doesn't justify muslims being bad. you know, when you were three, your mom hopefully told you two wrongs don't make a right?
it's good that you pasted this 2x since i'm sure it took you a long time to type. you do realize however that no one understands your point. christians today don't act on those laws, and the fact that they did 500+ years ago is really irrelevant.
it's actions that matter, not words. i don't care if a christian thinks homosexuals should be murdered. that's their right. i could care less. i only care if they start either actually murdering homosexuals or otherwise terrorizing them, or even restricting their rights.
Often in this world, because "standing up to islamist extremest" often devolves into "persecuting any muslims we can find, to get revenge for what the extremists did"
yeah, no it doesn't and people need to stop spreading this idea. people aren't by in large stupid. we know the difference between them muslim kid on our son's soccer team and the fundamentalists murdering people in paris. we can draw that distinction. can you?
That's why it's critical to understand that the distinction to make is terrorist/non-terrorist, and not muslim/non-muslim.

and there's your problem. 38% of muslims think terror is justified (rarely?). how many people is 38% of muslims? the muslim faith needs to adjust itself and start ostracizing people with such attitudes.
thanks for the laugh.
For example the moon is not even grey when looked at from a close distance
do you think it's possible that things look a little different from the surface of the moon than from 238k miles away?
but civilian tech is reaching the point of civilian space travel
thanks to NASA, yes.
Otherwise they'd have planted flags all over the moon by now
the moon is an airless, waterless rock. we haven't been back because it's incredibly, incredibly expensive and there's no financial or political reason to do so.
but they were warned to fuck off that's why they haven't been back to
i'm confused. we used alien tech to get to the moon, but those same aliens won't even let us land there? why'd they give us the tech in the first place? all the tech that was used in the moon mission is well understood and surpassed by current tech.
also, what exactly are those aliens doing on the moon? mining moon dust? these aliens can travel between solar systems but they can't find any better world to inhabit than the moon?
Waste not, get your budget cut next year.
