Yeah, they had a great R&D department, winning Nobel Prizes, inventing the transistor, discovering the cosmic background radiation. And they did NOTHING with all that knowledge to provide innovative services to their customers.

Are you kidding? You need to read The Idea Factory and get a clearer view of the issue. You're getting outraged over something you don't even understand.

Though come to think of it, most of the time people get outraged it's over things they don't understand.

Comment not enough money (Score 3, Interesting) 99

A lot of school districts in California either bought iPads or Chrome Books for every student. It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of weird priorities (and weird bureaucracy).

Now the school districts that got Chromebooks are upset because they got the cheap devices, and the ones that got iPads are upset because they keep breaking. It's like a disfunctional family.

My reasoning is this: in the military, you don't even trust soldiers with live ammo unless they are on a mission, because they are going to make mistakes. AI is not nearly to the quality level where it can make decisions better than even a stoned soldier.......

I don't care about 'fully'. In the short term, I care about the technology that's already at our fingertips: a robot with a machine-gun that is able to assess a situation and then 'decide' (without human intervention) to shoot the people it deems to be the enemy.

OK, that's not really much more interesting than land mines, is it?
