1) A robot may not injure a human being or allow a human to come to harm through inaction; 2) A robot must obey the orders given by humans unless it conflicts with the first law; 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as it does not conflict with the first two law

@Metal-Spark thanks mate, same to you! It's been tough but I'm glad video games at least is a good space for artists (for now) Lucky most genuine artists share the same distain for Ai, I think it has potential to help but shouldn't replace real art.

Simple predictive analytics. The Google algorithm. That's how well Google knows you. Scary eh? Google knows me better than any of my girlfriends or even my best friend. Crazy.

Ai bros when they realize their brain doesn't have any Cuda cores (the cores used for ai processes):

Yeah, my initial reaction to this story was that she was gonna bail out on the program and make bank doing "entrepreneurship", which is pretty much just her milking her reputation. But then the American in me said so what? She obviously worked hard and sacrificed to get here so she deserves to, god forbid, do whatever she wants to do.

>2015 Have you reserved your copy of Windows 10 yet? Hahaha. I immediately thought of this when I was watching that movie. Hey, if Cortana is Skynet, I welcome my new AI overlord!

"Unlike the land rush days of the United States' "Wild West" in the 19th century, interested parties will be able to choose plots remotely from an online map." Wait, what? The Wild West wasn't populated using online maps? Well, I guess you really do learn something new every day!

Welfare is a small price to pay for corporatism to continue. Hence why the only people feeling the squeeze is the middle class.

The issue is that both of those are really just overconsumption in disguise. Overpopulation is the root cause of just about every environmental issue. Maybe we could make things a bit more manageable if we didn't have such a wasteful, consumer-based culture, but we would still have 8 billion people striving for affluence on a planet where there isn't enough fresh water for everyone to have flushi…

I guess they're not really self driving if you have to control it from Time to time. Tesla's Guiding Cars: because every once-in-a-while you'll have to self correct and save your own lives.

People are acting like this AI has come to that conclusion itself. The AI is just “repeating” what people on the internet are saying. It’s not intelligently deducting that Communism does not work.

This is great news. However biodiversity is waayyy more important in the rainforest and tropics. This link is awesome for learning about rainforest biodiversity. http://www.rain-tree.com/facts.htm#.W3DpIhZlDDs - 2.5 acres [in the amazon] may contain over 750 types of trees and 1500 species of higher plants. - In comparison, the entire UK contains somewhere between 80-90 original native specie…

Self-Driving cars and trucks will take away thousands of driving jobs in the long run. I pity people who still have 5-year loans out on their Uber cars based on anticipated income because I don't think there will be many human Uber drivers in 5 years.

>When I was young, I thought that the world was divided into good and bad people, and that I was one of the good ones. Later, slightly older, I thought it was divided into informed and ignorant people, and that I was one of the informed ones. Older still, though still not nearly old enough, I thought it was divided into Bad Elites and Good Masses, and that since I had no money or power, I must…

There's a few buzzwords like that from political articles that are just an automatic "ignore me" sign. Slams, destroys, obliterates, demolishes, etc. Just clickbait garbo.

Except none of this is free market. There are taxes, bailouts, regulations, bureaucracy... This is corporatism.

I’ve had a lot of work done recently and I would happily employ an English builder, if they show up on time or indeed at all. It’s all I ask. Now maybe they are super in demand which is why I can’t get another one, or why they show up a week late like the last dude. This is why everything else in my flat has been done by Romanians. Hell, I am one of 2 English developers in my team at work, ever…

The fact that it irks you shows you still have a moral compass. And these days that's a virtue. Coworker has clearly abandoned that virtue.

Sure, but keep in mind that without COVID, Trump would have almost certainly been reelected.

Right now we should already be preparing ourselves for a world where human labor won’t be necessary, because it’s definitely going to be the reality pretty soon. I develop safety software for “mobile assistants”, which is basically the industry 4.0 term for AGVs with load handling units, and right now we’re developing and implementing concepts for autonomous factories where there isn’t a single h…
