when combined with constraints on non-renewable energy, were to be as projected in the study (i.e., per present policies), by 2040 fossil fuel and nuclear might constitute only about ...
(wait for it)...
83% of the world energy usage.

That is, by 2040, renewables might then manage to constitute a whopping 16-17% of world energy usage, skyrocking up from some 13% in 2016, under their assumptions.

The authors of the study do not even attempt to estimate the likelihood of those assumptions, which is prudent considering how costly the renewable energy subsidies and fossil fuel limitation policies are.

The following is a link to the study that the ComputerWorld article is attempting to summarize:

Technology will permit Big Government to plunder our property even more efficiently. And distribute it to whatever favored groups keep it going and expanding. Forever. (And that's the good news. You don't want to hear the bad news.)

Maybe you should be somewhat more worried about automated car bombs.
Just a thought to get your minds off sex.

AI simply cannot replace a job which requires undefined cognitive abilities.
Therefore, all those who have no remaining economic value can work for the government.
With high pay and a great retirement.
And safe from any chance of replacement by artificial intelligence, or indeed any intelligence whatsoever.

The Senate's Draft Bill is "Ludicrous, Dangerous, Technically Illiterate": http://www.wired.com/2016/04/s... This bill will certainly stop terrorists in their tracks. After all, terrorists know nothing about computers. And no one outside U.S. jurisdiction knows nothing about computer programming. And no such person or company can produce a program that encrypts data that is "communicated" or "stored." And computer programs cannot be transferred across U.S. borders without approval by the U.S. authorities. And know one knows how to install a computer program without outside assistance by the company or person who produced it. And U.S. Senators and their staffs are not idiots. And/or fascists. And/or certainly not both.
