That is like putting a paper bag on a Shrek and calling him arousing. I would not just put Kaspersky on a virus infested Windows 95 and call it a day, even with Gretha. Compromised machine has to be wiped as a minimum, but smart TVs can't even do that. Compromised by OEM, thank you, can i get that again, master? No, you don't own the glass, if I could, you know where the glass would go, just guess. Anyways, fortunately this is one of device types that has a privacy respecting alternatives, forget about TVs and more so smart TVs. Digital signage flat panels to the rescue. No Android, no similar crap. Basically TVs of today, but without smart. Anything smart today in a users home means user dumb. Yes, don't care about downvotes. This is unfortunately not so possible with other devices. Searching for not smart but autonomous dust collector and nonconnected electric car. Not seeing any anymore.

Sounds like absolute scam. Not a word about how the car was controlled. Just put this magic box in your car. If the led is on, it works. You have to be exceptionally stupid to believe that. Journalism hits bottom after bottom. This could be ok for zuckworlds ignorant inhabitants, swallowing any garbage.

This will influence inequality, something state kind of should be controlling. It can also affect value of currency. Also something that should be state controlled. As well as all the virtual coins widely used by all kinds of swindlers. But I guess that is solved by Flock and LG.

Android is on a very slow, but death spiral. Good that there are now alternatives. Not perfect, but good. I have lived with very minimal Android dependencies for almost a year now and only turn it on briefly in a virtual machine on my physical phone. I won't cry when it finally dies just because Google locked out nonapproved developers.

First of all, we have to stop calling everybody and his dog a researcher. If an AI company name is in same sentence before a persons name, that is not a researcher. That is a lobbyist with particular interests. At that point anything he utters is at most slightly interesting. Motives are widely known by now. Secondly, AGI will have a quite practical benefit of getting rid of humans. That has been analysed and synthesised by real researchers. With great book debunking elements etc. But all those 10% chance claims are pulled out of something round with something more round around it.

Comment What exactly was created? (Score 2) 51

So, a 3D model was created. I guess that means a considerably larger but same geometry in space. A physical thing. And then we jump a huge gap with implying that a 3D object that looks like a brain would also act like one? Sounds like a cargo cult with wooden airplanes and mysterious rituals to induce goods dropped on a little island of fools.
