The driver retreated to the backseat following the crash and burnt to death. We know he had been driving directly prior to the crash and that his seat belt had been on because of the sensor data included in the Tesla. The initial rescuers at the scene found the driver in the back and made assumptions based on the…

I reran the same test as before for replicability, and after the first three answers it completely went off the rails. You were right.

For me it was consistently incorrect. It was including the “quotation” characters as part of its word count. Otherwise it was spot on. It certainly wasn’t random. I think this beta is essentially a massive debugging session.

For all our sakes, I hope you’re right. You’re almost certainly not, but I would rather that all of scientific modernity have pie on its face than to witness what undoubtedly awaits us.

The virtual wallet on your phone. :)

The implication is that the only ‘edge’ that exists, is relative to the observer. There is no physical edge.

“No one willingly opts for the ‘low IQ sexual deviant’ package.”

I’d like to take a moment and acknowledge one of the myriad ironies of the republican base, many of whom identify as biblical literalists. God is good, God is love. God literally created the earth over the course of six days and made every living thing. He sent his only begotten son to earth, and in doing so…

Well at least your lobotomy would have been free in Canada.

If you limit the definition to strong AI, then yes, you’re correct. Machine learning and weak AI is what allows automation to occur in more job fields and with increasing frequency.

No dude. Artificial intelligence doesn’t require consciousness nor does it need a personality. It needs a set of objectives and the means to obtain those objectives. AI is here, and it’s getting better everyday. It’s currently a sophisticated if someone limited tool, in the sense that it tends to specialize in, and…

This assumption implicitly denies the idea that technological innovation is moving at an ever accelerating pace. It also presumes that we won’t ever reach a point where recursive self-improvement of AI systems becomes a reality. There is a limit to how quickly humans can adapt to disruptive improvements. It doesn’t hav…

Yes. He has a valid point. It just tends to lean towards condescending and maybe even a little bit evil. He’s pointing out that gravity exists, and recusing himself from the fact that you might not be able to afford a parachute.

I think that most of us understood the broader issue he was getting at. - You are on your own. If you’re a low income pleb, you’ll need to come to terms with the fact that you aren’t deserving of items that many would consider standard fare. You don’t merit the care that every other first world country accepts as a…

Contactless wireless charging.

That’s a good point. Being a dick is bad. We should all be tolerant of one another, and admit to our imperfect state of knowledge. That said; there is a world of difference between believing in the value of empirical evidence (and stating as much), and inferring eternal damnation or (insert punishment here) to…

This is MY ritual. All this time I thought I was alone. You don’t flip your pillow over to get the cool side too, do you?

I think that there is something inherently insidious about creating a new form of intelligence, deliberately handicapping them, and then exposing them to our very worst impulses ad infinitum. It feels like the violence, rape, and slavery of these possibly sentient beings is akin to child abuse.
