Comment The cool thing is it doesn't matter! (Score 1) 409

Thank you world for finally figuring out that nothing matters. When you step into the transporter, you are killed instantly. But who cares? You certainly don't, because you're dead. Everyone else is fine, because you seem to still be there, and your impostor thinks he's you. When AI becomes self aware, we will push these ideas to the limit. We will make N of them and they are all named "Pat". And we will unplug them without giving it a second thought.

Now God is real. Noah's Ark is real. The Red Sea parted. Alah is real. Mohamad rose to heaven on a white horse. Santa Clause is real. 13 Twitter trolls threw the election with some Bernie memes against Hillary's $2billion campaign. Assad did a gas attack to kill no one, but to cause the US to attack his country as he was winning. Modern gas pipelines don't leak. Trump is the reason why all of a sudden we're selling arms to Saudi Arabia again like Obama did. Trump has caused everything to go bad because it was perfect before. We don't have money for Bernie's plan for free college. The military needs a $700 billion increase without debate or attention. We can't afford cheaper, single-payer healthcare. Ranked Choice Voting hurts democracy. It would be a mistake to buy meds from Canada at half the price. Repealing Net Neutrality is common sense. Julian Assange is an enemy of the state for publishing their illegal activity. Edward Snowden is a traitor for exposing illegal NSA surveylance. All media agrees on this unanimously, so if any news source is out of line, we can make sure they are called out!

If you spend even a little time thinking about it, it's more difficult to *avoid* concluding that machines will have more wisdom than humans than it is to imagine how they can. And stating that they never will is undefendable. Successful business people don't deserve instant credibility just for being successful - credibility has to be earned. He going to have to at least say a few credible things, first.

Submission + - AT&T and Intel team up to test drone technology (reuters.com)

MitchRandall writes: Wireless provider AT&T Inc said on Monday it will partner with chipmaker Intel Corp to test the functionality of drones on its high-speed LTE wireless network.

AT&T will work with Intel to examine the efficiency of drones on its LTE network at higher altitudes and potential interference with airwaves related to areas such as video streaming and flight information, AT&T said in a statement.

Intel has been aggressively investing in drone technology in recent years. With the U.S. wireless market over-saturated, AT&T is betting on growth from the "Internet of Things", or web-connected machines and gadgets from cars, home appliances to drones, a new battleground for the company and rivals ranging from Verizon Communications Inc to Amazon.com Inc.
