It's a crazy idea. I don't think it's going to fly particularly well, but hey, if they want to try something unique and crazy, I'm not going to stop them.
it's not a question of stopping them. it's a question of whether you are going to give them money. will you?
Instead of moaning how bad of an idea this is, YOU make something that you think would work.
it already has been made. USB stick computers. plug it into the HDMI slot where it doesn't move. bluetooth mouse, keyboard. done.

A restaurant filming me does not bother me at all. Why? Because they don't do anything with it other than in the case of a crime.
seriously? how do you think all of the celebrity footage gets released? sort of like the film of Jay Z getting punched by his sister in law (or whatever it was) in the elevator?
the reason why nothing gets done with security footage of you is that nobody gives a crap about you. google glass won't change that.
you need to go check out the latest google translate. point your camera at any text and instantly translate it into 8+ languages in real time.
but don't ever expect me to be OK with people walking around with those on their faces.
personally, i don't expect anything other than for you to mind your own business.
There are subtle but important differences.
the difference is that w/ glass, you know you (may) be recorded. without glass, you have no idea. covert recording devices are numerous and powerful. if someone *wants* to record you, they will.
You think is OK for some Glasshole to walk into a restaurant where you are enjoying a public yet private dinner with a friend, record it and put it up on the Intertubes? You are OK with that. I mean, it is a "public" place, right?
i'd be flattered if someone cared enough about me to do so. anyone that uses the term "glasshole" is utterly naive about the technology and has serious misconceptions about what privacy they have while in public places. if you aren't getting recorded and blasted on youtube today, it's not because it can't be done, it's because nobody cares. if someone wants to record you in public, they will
If Tizen development speeds up a bit, the OS could become a stand-in for Android
wrong, samsung will make both. they made 52 different smartphone models last year. samsung has enough money to do everything 10x, and they do.
Hollywood has set the bar so low you'd need trenching equipment not to clear it.
the bar as always been low.
old farts (like me) do this thing where they remember only the good movies from their childhood. across a lifetime there are many memorable movies. movies were better when i was young! what they don't remember are the thousands of duds, of course, because they weren't memorable movies.
The doom and gloom scenarios all hinge on this idea that the AI is going to be so much smarter and more powerful than we are. That's where it's dipping way into just crazy speculation. Based on what we know about intelligent beings, the system is full of flaws that slow everything down.
it's not like we have to build AI from the ground up. we have a prototype already. it's called the brain. your brain is just a meat processor. it's a system of cells, interconnections, chemicals, and electric pulses. all of that can be modeled in software, and run a million times faster, run itself in parallel, interface with other electronic systems in vastly superior ways, nearly limitless, perfect storage, and so on.
For all we know
think about what humanity knew 100 years ago, and what they know now. no one is saying absolutely AI will threaten humanity. people are suggesting it might, and considering the stakes, we should be proceed with caution.
I'd wager the first truly sentient AI's will be quite a bit duller
one idea is that once software can improve itself things will go from 0-60 very quickly. that's why people suggest we need a plan before even the dullest AIs are developed.
unless you actually fucking MADE it evil.
did you mean "made to do harm"? people do and will continue to make machines that do harm, and if giving them some semblance of "AI" makes them more effective, they will do it. people are "evil", and we build machines to help us do our bidding. i hope that humans aren't in conflict with other humans in 200 years, but i doubt it.
where i come from, discussing and addressing problems before they are a threat is a good idea.
did we learn anything from global warming? we denied that up to the point where it's essentially too late. would have been good to be talking about global warming a hundred years ago wouldn't it have? humans need to get accustomed to looking at the big picture if we are to survive.
malice
malice isn't a requirement to do harm. in fact, indifference is more dangerous.
yes, worrying about AI that might be a threat in 500 years is like worrying about the Sun burning out in 5 billion years. good point. we should also stop talking about global warming while we are at it.
We cannot build a computer that can model a bug's brain activity, let alone something a million times more complicated like a human brain

rather, once we are able to model any nervous system we are well one the way,
AI do not exists
thanks, we know that, but we are concerned about what could happen when they do.
you think it's absolutely impossible that could be achieved in say the next 500 years, considering what humans have accomplished in the last 100?
