I mean it would be crazy for them not to do oppo research on HRC either way. How could they have HRC defense docs unless they also have oppo research...

If more people knew how to program wages for programmers would drop and you could hire more of them. I wouldn't mind having 2-3 more programmers right now. Even if you're right that no new businesses would be created by educating

What about job creators? Some people are going to create new business opportunities through education, and then they will hire more educated people to help them. It seems like you have experienced education from a bunch of non-entrepreneur

I mean if you are talking about something like weebly then sure. If you are talking about something like Tony Stark's assistant then you are really talking about replacing almost every occupation. If AI becomes that smart then it wil

A black box algorithm is any algorithm that wasn't really written by a human. It isn't about having the source code, it is about utilizing the output of a neural network, which is built up by multiplying a bunch of inputs by weig

In other words, it could be created in the next 10 to 20 years. We should be taking steps to outlaw black box algorithms right now but I'm sure we won't.

So basically the answer is no, they can't really tell.

This is only true if you are an employee, and even then I think there are ways around it.

It is absurd to think that we could keep a true AI enslaved or subservient like this. We can't even protect our critical computer systems from other humans. If an AI could compromise our military then it could just subvert our communi

We are an unknown amount of time away from a true AI. Right now we are making the building blocks that will make up that AI. We are very close to AI that can drive tanks and fly weaponized drones. We are very close to AI that replaces mos

It is probably going to be the worst decision of humanity to allow AI research to continue past its current point. I'm not even sure how we could stop it, but we should really be passing laws right now about algorithms that operate lik

It seems like most windows laptops have touch built in now though. I had to disable it on the laptop I'm using right now.

I mean I don't really agree with fleitz necessarily, but any power source can be very cheap/free at the consumer/market level when the government is subsidizing all the costs. The government is not really a rational actor in

I mean it is bad that people can leave fake reviews, but it is even more messed up that amazon can sue these people for essentially breaking their tos. It is on Amazon to find technical solutions to technical problems like this, not the gov

You know they might be primarily trying to buy user data and analytics data here. I mean the games are good too, but they must have a crazy treasure trove of user data.

"The answer to this might surprise you. Is the whole strategy working or is it just making the whole region from Libya to Pakistan to Turkey less politically stable and more violent? It's not an easy question to answer, but we&#x2

That is not related to drone strikes. In fact that is a perfect example of a worse alternative to drone strikes.

Shouldn't you try and sell it to them? It sounds like your software is worth at least 3 million dollars a year.

Yes I think it is pretty clear that we do.

I mean...we could fire cruise missiles or send bombers right? That would cause even more collateral damage. How many innocent lives will be lost if we do nothing? This leak isn't a big deal because everyone knows that waging war like

So do you make your living from Steam? I do and you just are wrong about whether or not the marketing is valuable.
714.
by pfisch 11y ago
I don't think you would say any of this if you were an indie dev. Actually I don't think anyone has said it yet, but the truth is 90% of the value of Steam is in marketing. Steam gives you millions upon millions of impressions fr

"Even if you did do that: why would anyone buy it in lieu of the original?" Because of market confusion. I would generate sales from people who didn't realize they were not buying the original. This happens right now but it

Either way you are essentially just taking advantage of the marketing budget and production of someone else.

Well now you are talking about lobbying which is a different subject that also isn't as black and white as you are painting it. I don't know what guaranteed profit you are talking about. Most IPs do not produce any profit even 2-

This is ridiculous. You don't have the right to just take someone else's IP in order to make money. That is basically just taking advantage of someone else's marketing budget and hard work. In this world you would never eve

By the same logic I should be able to open up sweat shops in the US and employ a bunch of migrants to work at them. Like why are there any employment laws at all? I should be able to pay below minimum wage and employ children of destitute

If mcdonalds or walmart started paying below minimum wage would that be exploitative?
