I studied enough AI to know that, not only it's uncommon, but also doesn't have any sense.

Can the word "Turing" be mentioned in a Slashdot submission without some random guy bringing up his sexual orientation?
Everyone knows the story, it has been denounced and publicly acknowledged and an official "I'm sorry" was told. I welcomed those events and moved on. The meme, alas, persists. Even Simon Wiesenthal said something like "We can't pretend there weren't deaths in the holocaust, but we can't think about it all the time".
Now, can we talk about what's relevant? Like TFA?
Religion, no. Hell, yes. If humans believe in both Heaven and Hell there will be no net effect on the crime rates.
Actually, no. FTA:
A growing program of research from across the social sciences now supports the long-held claim that religion positively affects normative behavior[1]
The only measure of artistic capability seems to be the popularity of the artistic productions. Why not tying livelihood to it, as charging for consumption/copy accomplishes to some extent?
You are essentially saying "artists should get a day job" while conceding that most great art and artists went unappreciated in their time. Doesn't that make your brain bleed?
Read this comment, then the one right up.
Conclusion: it doesn't matter who's right. Either way, society can't recognise good artists.
Nice, I got a mod down because you disagree with me but were too cowardly to respond.
So, you were trolling with grandiloquent phrases, got bitten by the mod system and complained about it? Cry me a river.
It's immoral to cheat on your spouse but we don't put adulterer's in prison (anymore).
Even if it isn't violent, there's still legal consequences, especially with a divorce. Instead, non-violent copyright infringement has no consequences whatsoever.
The blog tackled that statement a while ago.

Fascist!
They totally plagiarized the country name. They just took Rome and added -ania to it.
Also, this is the same country that has news like this
Indeed, I've seen studies that showed very little difference in perceived quality between 30fps non-blurred frames and much higher framerates.
Really? Wow, I could definitely tell, especially on explosions or certain quick movements. It felt weird, "non-cinematic". While I didn't know that it was the difference in FPS, I knew "something wasn't right".
Not sure if you're an asshole...
...or a Winrar.
Really? I wasn't creeped out by Final Fantasy except when they kiss in space. In fact, when the bad guy pulls a gun against his head, I thought "Damn, what a scene!".
There are plenty of parents of "computer science". Alan Turing was more like the grandfather of modern computing, along with Ada and Babbage, and the father would be Von Neumann.
