The name Jodorowsky appears because that's what the AI was asked to do: generate images from a Tron movie in the style of Jodorowsky. A critic expert on Jodorowsky viewed them to evaluate how Jodorowskyesque they are, and answered “very”. That's what this whole thing is about, not pretty pictures.

RTFA before you rant, please, it's all that us humans have left to tell us apart from bots.

Huge difference.

Oh! So that's why they're unable to find the edge of the flat Earth! They get more stupid as they get closer. /s

For browser traffic, users can just install a plugin that alerts them when the government certificate is used. This not only protects authentication, but also exposes attempts to break it.

For other apps, this can be done in each app or in the OS.

That is, until they introduce the first Kazakh-manufactured device, which would be, I'm sure, great success.

I mean, if the government has nothing to hide, it has nothing to fear.

"I saw a UFO" isn't a statement about what I saw. It's a statement about me, the person failing to identify the flying object.

Corollary: if you want to see many UFOs, just be ignorant and look up.

The "consumer surplus" is the difference between what the product is worth to you, the consumer, and its price. The "producer surplus" is the difference between the price and what the product costs to make. The "social surplus" is the sum of the two (plus externalities), and that's what society gains by having the transaction.

The better the producer matches the price to each consumer's value, the larger portion of the social surplus goes to the producer. The price tag, which fixes the same price for all consumers, was one of the biggest gifts of Quakers to humanity (second only, perhaps, to oat-based cereals), and tech giants are taking us 150 years back on that front.

And that's why capitalists who think they like the status quo, which isn't capitalism at all, are morons.

Berkeley has a celebrated Center for Human-Compatible AI (CHAI) (https://humancompatible.ai/), so of course Stanford must have an "Institute for Human-Centered AI" (HAI).
Jeez, people, innovate!

You sound very confident, which is really bad when you're wrong.

First, let's take apart this "work at cost" thing. The cost for the publisher is virtually 0. Authors work free or pay. Reviewers work free. There's some administration, which $0.10 per download would easily cover (and then some). Instead they charge $35.95 per download (UC presumably pays less).

You're right that uploading papers to a free, popular pre-print server like arXiv is a great thing to do, except top Elsevier journals will reject your paper if you do.

So how can Elsevier afford to be expensive and get exclusive rights? That's the rent it extracts from publishing prestigious journals. Deciding which journal is prestigious is a hard coordination game. Even with a lot of effort (which researchers at UC and worldwide are exerting in various ways), it takes time to change the status quo.

UC simply feels, likely correctly, that the tables have turned far enough that Elsevier can now be taken out of the game.

Ok, so I'm not allowed to set my browser to not download ads.
I guess I'm also not allowed to prevent ads from being displayed on screen?
Am I allowed not to look? Or must it also reach my eyes?
Am I allowed not to pay attention? Or must I let it into my brain? My mind? My soul? My very existence?
Why not just force me to buy the damn thing you're promoting and get this over with?

The missions aren't really that long, if they're all scheduled for a single day, March 5.

Google is waging war on our psyche. This here is intelligence gathering, to better identify weak spots in our defenses, in preparation for an escalation of their assault.

Will we ever fight back?

"The first official RoboCup games and conference was held in 1997 with great success. Over 40 teams participated (real and simulation combined), and over 5,000 spectators attended." [http://www.robocup.org/a_brief_history_of_robocup]

By "real and simulation" they mean that AI has been playing soccer for more than 20 years, both in simulation (as in TFA) and in real, physical robots.
Welcome to the world of AI research, South Korean!

(To be fair, it's probably some reporter's snafu, rather than a researcher's.)

There's a CC camera at every street corner, and soon on every person.
If you've resigned to being watched whenever you're online, you've resigned to being watched nearly always.

If the results are very surprising, "statistical significance" is not enough. They're probably still wrong.
That's Bayes 101.
