He is a victim of someone at the authorities in this age trusting some random image on the internets, launching activities of high cost based of simple stupidity. Regret of the stupid mistake and attempt to shift away the blame. If I lived there, I would like to know the name of this blameshifting simpleton who for some reason had crawled way too high for his abilities. Fake images have been there since the internets went public. Should have known that.

Exactly. A humanoid form robot with restriction of no more than two cameras spaced no further apart than human eyes, that would be impressive. But without such restrictions, this is totally doable in Python, no need for AI. There is a guy who did some years ago a similar achievement of darts you can not miss the center, I bet he could do this too, given enough resources, even when this requires a bit more, like angles and collision moment speed and direction.

We have enough already with global warming, AI threat to humanity and pesky wars everywhere. And RAM prices, yes. I hope this does not fly, cause the consequences would be epic. First of all, this would compete with state held identity systems. Passports, ID cards. That means not just fourth power - digital media with it's electionshifting results, but fifth - control of who can what. Second it is my private and identifying data given into hands of a pathological lyer that has already done too much damage, I can't imagine anything he could do to make me trust him and anything he says. If we don't get our grip into transforming our democracies and economic systems allowing such megarich to accumulate, I am afraid this is the explanation of where is everybody out there.

Was wondering same. Sounds like those magic aura people, feel the energy flowing through you. Energy has to be in something, in some specific form. Like a mass with velocity. Or electromagnetic field that becomes evident in something with mass.

"now that the GUIs are typically on par with the Windows experience" - agree to your main point, but this is a delusion. Linux has had GUI way above not just on par for past 15 years. I could agree, it has matured, got more consistency, but then again Windows lost that after XP. What Linux now, recent years has on par is gaming, though that does not apply to typical office.

32 year olds have 10 years of cognitive decline? Sounds a bit dramatic, but maybe I am beyond dementia already and my comprehension is just random words which in rare occasions make my contact with world appear effective.

Do nonblind people want that in such games?

Which part of that page is that you mean here? Vacuum? That produces CO, not O2.

Not sure how relevant this is for the article, but thank you George.

This sounds reasonable. Thanks for explaining.

Do they consider cows stupid that the cows don't get it that there is nothing more to graze and they have to move, but that seems too complex a task they need a shock to get it? Or the farmer, that has two issues. One place overgrazed to become a hole where trees and people fall in. Probably stupid cows too. And another - totally overgrown area where no technology can get through.

So far I don't see anything termendous besides money wasted.

You are totally right about us reaching AGI soon not being a reality. But that does not mean that we should ignore the inherent human wipeout when it happens and have tight control before it gets too late.

Yeah, look at global warming or legal system to take a bit simpler stuff. or even simpler - nucular arms race, the doomsday clock. We only act when something that matters has happened, until then we just look at it approaching. And seems another one is incoming with AGI - when it gets done, we are done too. So far all the "prepare for doomsday" looks just like any other marketing with a few legal entities at interest.

This looks like shifting the goal posts after realizing that they can't reach the quantum computer. Any 5 years now. Just like fusion, just like AGI, just like selfdriving and colonizing Mars any day now. Show me a practically working one. Show me it's build method scalability. Show me that your machine can do anything more than a few very narrow usecase problemsolving. Haven't seen any proof yet. Until you do the homework, not gonna believe one nonquantum bit of your claims, regardless of your size. It ceases to be magic when you look at the details.
