I mostly agree with you. The human mind will grow together with AI. Like how Wikipedia gives the common person more knowledge than the greatest humanist 50 years ago, new developments in AI will be used to advance the human mind.

Neither is it necessary for us to understand the complete human mind to expand its capacities. Just as a simple pole enables us to Jump a 15 foot high fence crude electronics could be used to improve our brain.

Submitted by tanman on Thursday June 21, 2007 @06:35PM

tanman writes: After reading an article in the Miami Herald that said "[President] Bush's twin daughters, gave him a CD they had made for him to listen to while exercising", a Florida lawyer calculated statutory damages of 1.8 million dollars and has sent a letter to the RIAA asking that they "display the same vigor in prosecuting this matter and protecting the rights of your rights-holders that it has displayed in enforcing those rights against other alleged violators." From the letter, "This is a serious violation of copyright. As you know, whichever of your member organizations that are right-holders for the copied musical works may be entitled to statutory damages of $150,000.00 per musical work copied."

An anonymous reader writes: This article over at Computerworld implies that the EU Privacy Directive, or something like it, will soon be signed into law here in the good ol' U.S. of A. The author seems to think this is a good thing, but I'm not so sure. What does the /. crowd think? Is it time for a national privacy law or "Privacy Czar", or are we better off letting things be?
