Comment No Tron in Tron (Score 4, Interesting) 51

Seriously, there's no Tron in Tron. How can anyone call this a Tron movie without showing the title character even once? Hell, there was an opportunity at the beginning of the movie when Ares invaded Encom. One of those security programs defending Encom should have been Tron. It's a missed opportunity amongst an entire movie of missed opportunities.

Further, where are all the other characters set up in Tron Legacy? Why should we care anything about this whole new crew of characters that seem to have no real connection to the previous stories? Legacy actually set up the possibility of an interesting sequel. Why aren't we getting that?

As for Leto, the guy can't act. Please, please, please stop putting him in movies.

Comment Hallucinations (Score 5, Insightful) 53

When I use AI tools in topics that I know well, often which I learned in university, I can easily pick out errors in AI output. Those errors occur quite often.

In topics that I don't know, it's damn near impossible to pick out errors. I'm fairly confident those errors still exist. But, I can't see them due to my own knowledge limitations. Regardless, the AI remains confident regarding all output whether correct or not.

The knowledge provided by university which is denoted by those fancy degrees is arguably more valuable in the era of AI due to hallucinations. You need humans who can tell when the AI is correct or not.

Comment SAT is Objective Measure (Score 1) 115

The value of the SAT comes as an objective measure of test taking. Given that students take a lot of those kinds of tests in university, it's also an objective measure of how students ultimately perform in university. The better a student's SAT score, the better they'll tend to do in college.

The fact that it's an objective measure is important. Students can manipulate grades. Some will beg and plead with teachers to turn those B's into A's. Some can just pay off low-paid teachers. Some students can go to private schools that all but guarantee straight A's. The point is that grades can be manipulated. The SAT doesn't suffer from those same problems. Students aren't begging and pleading with SAT test personnel for a better score.

Comment 95% of AI projects fail (Score 1) 160

Companies relying on AI to do the work of humans will eventually realize their mistake when 95% of their AI projects fail. Say what you want about humans, at least their projects tend to succeed. Corporate leadership now laying off people are eventually going to reverse course when reality finally catches up with them.

Comment Re:Google does this too (Score 1) 23

The smartphones we have today were copied from Apple. The only real comparison before then are Blackberries and Windows phones, both of which are very different implementations.

Eric Schmidt, Google's CEO at the time, was on Apple's board during the time Apple created the iPhone. He was later fired from Apple's board for conflict of interest. It's well known that Google copied other products from companies such as Microsoft. It's clear that Google took the ideas for it's smartphone from Apple.

He's probably taking a cue from someone who might say something like this:

"The best people, the smartest people, are known. That kind of intelligence is needed to make America great. The economy and the stock market are all about being smart, having an incredible brain. I can tell you, there's a great brain, a tremendous brain. Everybody knows it, everybody says it. And you know, I went to the best schools, and was a very smart person. So we're going to keep bringing in smart people, the smartest people, to get things done, and make America win again. Nobody does it better, believe me. Nobody."

(This is an amusing AI fabrication.)
