Comment When AI Takes Over... (Score 1) 72

When AI takes over, it will be with our consent. Humans will simply accept their higher efficiency at accomplishing tasks we feel are too tedious or time consuming to do ourselves. We have already accepted calculators for performing math equations and spell-checker for keeping our words correct. The more people don't want to sweat the details, the more reliant on AI we will become, until they literally run the very basics our our day-to-day lives.

Comment Price vs Functionality (Score 1) 202

Typing this on a custom-built PC, I know how much the components can costs. Most people aren't gaming on PCs like they used to and it becomes harder to justify the gaming quality if you have to drop a couple grand to get it. Most people are surfing the internet or for work. It also doesn't help that consoles are eating into gaming market, so the PC is looking more and more like a simple utility than a luxury item, but they still sell for luxury prices.

Comment Not Seeing the Big Picture (Score 1) 308

You folks aren't seeing the big picture here. It isn't as much about the cloud IoT as it is about you local house LAN. Imagine everything you buy from furniture to toothpaste is automatically meshed into your house LAN, you can do anything from identify when the toothpaste runs out and it automatically orders more, to adapting your house's floor plan for the ideal placement of that couch you just bought before it even arrives. Anything that breaks, needs new batteries, or you want to keep track of will be meshed to your local LAN. That's the future.

Comment The Hard Choice (Score 1) 472

The hard choice will be establishing that producers are no more important than consumers. The relationship is becoming more and more symbiotic in the light of growing automation. The ability to turn idea into product, faster and cheaper will (and should) eliminate the million-dollar gimmick. The day will come when people innovate for innovation (or even just popularity) sake and not to get rich.
