Thanks for the detailed reply. I will say first of all that I am an autonomous sceptic. I think it could be useful for some situations but not in all situations. I would say that your first example really exemplifies my point about realisti

That's what I was just thinking. You could potentially have autonomous geofencing. You enter your destination into the satnav and then start driving; when you get to a geofenced highway that is considered "AI safe" the car wi

I'm the same, I can't really come up with any realistic vehicle accident scenario that would be a classic trolley problem. I may just be lacking in imagination though. I'd be interested if anyone could present a realistic exa

My favourite joke about that sort of thing is how following the exact rules of the English language "ghoti" is a perfectly valid spelling of fish :-)

I am genuinely interested in learning how you think that could possibly be workable. The reason I ask is that I am not particularly knowledgeable about either explosives or the canal but I can instantly envision a number of reasons why such

> The Grammy's nixed The Best New Female Raper. That seem unsurprising lol. This is why proof reading is so important.

Hard rock and heavy metal have their roots in the blues. All of the early bands that defined those genres straddled the line between blues and rock. Led Zeppelin were heavily influenced by the blues; but also if you listen to a band like De

Thanks for sharing. I had no idea about the African heavy metal scene. Some very cool pictures. It's nice to see people who look a bit more like me enjoying metal. I am not the biggest heavy metal fan I have to admit. There is some met

> I so disagree. You can totally dance to metal. First, there's headbanging and moshing which are absolutely kinds of dance, as is air-guitar playing (a kind of... interpretive dance; I guess?). I completely agree with you here. I u

As a black English man who enjoys a bit of rock and metal myself I have wondered this myself. I have some theories, which I fully admit are half baked and quite possibly incorrect. However, I think that a lot of the culture around rock and

Some good points, that have crossed my mind as well. I think I tend to a more pessimistic view of those who strive to become our leaders. Experience seems to show that a more likely outcome is for them to strive desperately to save themselv

Well obviously for those who don't want children the question is not difficult to answer. I'd like to hear from those who have children or who want children whether they think it's fair that you can only extend your life by a

There's a very strong chance I am completely wrong about this but my feeling on the matter is as follows. As long as mined diamonds are profitable there is a strong incentive for criminal interests to hinder any attempts to improve the

Here's a question: If medical procedures were available to extend your life to 200+ years but to get the procedure you had to have never had children and would have to allow yourself to be permanently and irreversibly sterilised, would

Don't you think there's a danger you'd end up with stories that looked like JRR Tolkien as written by George RR Martin?

Imagine a dictator getting to power who was unlikely to die from natural causes for another 150-200 years.

That's where we differ. I enjoy reading a longer form article like this. Lot's of interesting details and well written. Not everything writer needs to cater to those with shorter attention spans ;-)

I just don't see how this can be legal. How can they be allowed to completely destroy a business with no evidence and no appeal process? This surely must class as abuse of a monopoly position. I guess the fact that they haven't be

I'm confused as to how this got posted. I posted exactly the same link yesterday. If I try to post a link and someone has already posted it - even a few days prior - the link doesn't get posted and I get redirected to comments on

I'm not entirely convinced by your argument. Some years ago there was an episode of the Gadget Show where they were testing an app for suggesting food ideas. I can't remember how it was supposed to work, it was too long ago, but i

If the bees went it would be a lot more serious than no more honey. It would cause the total collapse of a significant chunk of the ecosystem.

I've enjoyed that one since I was a child. Funnily enough I listened to it just a few weeks ago after having not listened to it for years.

I did say that the minds are gods compared to us . What I was trying (somewhat clumsily) to convey is that the minds can think many times faster than us and can partition sections of themselves in order to multi-task on a stupendous scale.

The problem is that it would be almost impossible to write such a book. The minds are so vast, so powerful, that a human can't possibly conceive what it would be like to be one. They are like gods compared to us and who can write from
