The one at the bottom is the one I wanted 10 years ago, and remains the one I want today. Why is that so hard!?!

As always, people are the problem.

I think a true strong AI, and what would cause me the most fear would be manipulations, knowledge or social engineering attacks. Not the attack of your toaster.

That explains a lot of code I've read over the years.....

Depends on semantics.

On the other hand, must I trust anyone or any entity to do the same thing they did in the past? Well only to the extent that it fits with their own best interests. Unfortunately the more removed they are from my circle of influence, the less likely that their best interests coincide with mine.
Still I must trust that the sky wont fall, otherwise I'd never get out of the house.

I'm sure in a month, some teams of 60 people will claim to have 5 years combined experience in swift....

I believe this in so far as I think some congress people are jealous and want larger "campaign contributions" as well.

This wasn't meant as FUD, just good natured jibing. Relax :D

I don't doubt it. I have no hate for Perl, I was joking. Notice how many qualifies I put on my statements? It was just the first thing that popped into my head when I read a slashdot headline, no biggie.

Ok, I know I'll get modded down to oblivion for this, but my first thought on reading the headline was "Modern Perl Web Framework, isn't that an oxymoron?" Any others think that as a reflex at first too? Even if you don't really believe it?

I know I used to love Perl, but that was a long time ago...

clap clap clap

Well if we are using sperm and egg then we really need to develop robot parents that have strong AI modelled after ourselves to take care of the children and raise them as best they can. Send along all the accumulated knowledge we can, and hope for the best. Long term they probably wouldn't turn out too much different from ourselves. Even if the first few generations were really messed up.

Yeah, been reading OpenSSL Valhalla Rampage
  Once it is released in Linux, I'm definitely switching.

If people have problems driving without distractions, imagine if the car went where they were thinking/looking.... Now let them do it in 3 dimensions.....
What could possibly go wrong?

Unfortunately this really needs to get modded up... There are huge privacy concerns doing this... Certainly it takes advantage of the removal of Skype end-to-end encryption that we enjoyed so many years ago :(

Driverless party bus!!!!
