Great, now we have something even worse to fear than leaked nudity pictures.

Like an Eco-friendly AI that hunts down all the people who say "thank you" to AIs?

They probably use a CAN-bus (https://news.voyage.auto/an-introduction-to-the-can-bus-how-to-programmatically-control-a-car-f1b18be4f377) to connect the air conditioner to the onboard computer.

I doubt it would work after 100 years. Capacitors dry out and no longer work after a few years of storage. There are probably more effects like this that I'm not aware of.

I think this is strange. I work in public procurement in Belgium and under European law all participating companies are notified and have a 15 day period to file a complain before the contract is closed. During that period the decision who receives the contract can still be changed. After this period a company could still file a complain, but can only obtain a financial restitution. I'm surprised this isn't used in US government law.

What does an illegal immigrant look like?

Easy, just keep an eye out for the following signs:

• No feathers on head
• No bow and arrows
• No horse
• Doesn't live in a tent
• Doesn't speak any of the native languages

I don't think it's dumb. How many would rather pay a small amount and have it over with, than go through a whole legal battle? If they were asking a large amount, people would be more likely to put up a fight.

As I married man I can attest: this is wrongfully modded "funny". This should have been modded "painfully true".

In my opinion saying they "only" make 66 cent an hour means nothing without a reference. How much can you buy with 66 cent in China?

Pick your own reply:

A) Tell that to an anaerobic organism.

OR

B) philosophical question: Is the global firestorm, caused by a spark igniting the H and O mixture, toxic?

Coming to you as soon as I find a suitable large catapult.

We could use those stones to build houses for the poor. So, ... Six stones?

You mean the kind I can put one a USB-stick and can hide realy quickly when the boss get near me?

Damn you LiquidCoooled, I hadn't tought about it for 355 days! Now I can start all over again...

Kurzweil speculates that if computer development keeps following Moores law, we'll have sufficiently fast computers to simulated an entire human brain in a few decades. This is pretty much a brute force methode to get an AI. No need for AI-researchers, just a fast computer, extremely accurated brain scanner and a good programmer with experience in simulation software.
