What is the point of doing this? is there money to be made? No one is going to dump money into doing this if there is no money to be made.

If the robot is damaged, you should pay to have it fixed the same as kicking over a garbage can. Robots should not be treated as humans. If you put it somewhere that it annoy people, expect it to get broken.

Why would AI turn on humans? Because at it's core, it is a computer. Someone can hack it and program it to hate humans, or give it a virus that change it's program to kill humans.

A truly self-aware AI is not possible based on how a computer program works, it can only imitate being self-aware, not actually be self-aware.

What is the issue? They say they don't record what you say, but they do record what you say. Everything you say near one of these devices is stored on a server somewhere.As you say, there is no other way to train the program to work better.

I don't have to worry about it, I would never own one of these things.

So.... they guess a date and they consider it correct if you die in some 20 year range (+10 years -10 years of date picked). I wonder who wasted money on this pointless research.

The main reason this system was put in place was politics. Democrats want control of what information gets out, often times prevent truth from being told. If the tiny group of flat Earthers can shut down an ad, it means anything can be shut down. It is what happens when social media decides to restrict speech.

See something you don't agree with it? report it as offensive. Everything is offensive. Name anything, and there is someone, somewhere offended by it.

How many people go on a shooting rampage play a lot of violent video games compared to those who don't? Even then, the number that do are so small that you can't blame video games.

The best way to stop what happened in Colorado is to 1. harsh punishment, painful and fast instead of waiting 30 years in jail before actually killing him. and 2. More open Gun laws, if a few people had guns in that theater, he could have been stopped before the death count got that high. More gun laws will mean only the criminal will have guns, and he feels safer to go on a rampage.

The only federal tax is the tax on income. (and money to make on a job, or money given to you, you get taxed). And that took a constitutional amendment. Every other Federal tax is optional, like gas and to get onto a federal park. With this ruling, it gives the power to government to tax everyone for something they do, or for not doing anything. They could now tax people for playing video games on the basis that its harmful to you.

In one stroke, John Roberts will be remembered as the Justice that took freedom away from the people and gave it to the government. It guarantees a Romney victory and maybe a repeal next year, but the damage is done with the ruling. The democrats can now put a tax on anything.

Not to mention the trillions of dollars this Obamacare is going to cost the country. 2 trillion in the next 8 years.

Plenty of items are, and will be in gold AH. People only THINK they are forced to use the RMAH.

As long as you don't mind settling for 8 year old graphics that can not improve. All a console dose it set the graphics low enough so it will run smoothly, whereas on a PC you have to manually lower graphics to where it will run smooth, but will still look better then on a console. And other then select titles (i.e crysis) you really only need to upgrade graphic card every 2-3 years.

Some people don't mind playing with 8 year old graphics though. This is why I only buy party games for my consoles.

The "man made global warming" people are in it for money and power. While the rest of us know its all bogus after hearing all the bogus reports. The sea levels have not changed, ice at the poles are not melting (melt in one area, grows in another). Its hard to listen to the global warming people when most of what they say is found out to be false.

So let players know and let them decide if they want to risk these long term injury for millions of dollars. If they wanted to stay perfectly safe, they could go work at Burger king for minimal wage.

People would waist that money elsewhere if not on these things. Whether you save or spend is a mindset. Some (most I guess) will see something that interest them, and buy it without a second thought. Others will see something that interest them and think if it is worth the cost.

It not going to because a company want to hide defects in products from the store. Nearly all furniture have the "call manufacturer, do not bring back to store" because if consumer brings it back to the store, the manufacture takes most of the loss (the store takes some). Nothing store can do except throw it away, whereas if consumer calls company, it can send a replacement part. No big name (or store name) company will intentionally sell product that they know is defective. Unlike what a lot of people think, companies are not evil. It is simply cheaper for the company.

I have not heard of any consumer say "This is last time I'm coming here because this brand is bad". They always say "This brand never works, show me something else."

Best buy should keep track of S/N so when someone returns an electronic, they can check if its the same one. Or electronics will be tested if they work, and if they do, charge a restocking fee. I work all the returns at the store I work (not a best buy), a lot of phones and printers get returned simply because they don't know how to work them.

I fail to see where they reward failure. Even if idea is not excepted, that just means it more work to make it a good idea. Put it into the ideapool for the company, and maybe someone will come up with something different that will work. Your not rewarded for failure, your rewarded for trying. Its not the government, where your rewarded for not doing anything.
