Not that I'm trying to discourage you, but why? Stability ? Money ?

This is such a good response, it's something I've thought about so much lately, especially with all this talk of human replacement due to robots etc. I sometimes wonder if modern societies feel superior to others because of techno

Except Ghengis was around Millenia ago, if we all lived like him now, then we would be in pretty bad shape. It seems taking more than our fair share has caused some pretty bad situations with regards to the environment, we can't keep o

Well if valley types have their way and automate 40% or more of jobs in the next ten years, then what actually is the alternative? This or major uprisings and violent clashes?

So, it seems the big hope for the future of AI, is creating a "Genie" or "Wizard" that works for all of us and looks after our interests?

once we have artificial general intelligence, everything changes infinitely forever. How do you think it will change everything infinitely forever? Are you confident this would be a positive change for us and all species on earth? This is

America hasn't exactly helped Europe out by displacing millions of refugees and creating a humanitarian crisis on their door step. Not to mention doing practically nothing to tackle climate change for the last 30 years. Sure Europe is

The interestesting part of all this is how would a machine know how to stop and take a shower? Right now if I notice one of my programs is doing something silly I come along and stop it, find out why it didn't work and start it again.

I had my first experience with VR yesterday, maybe I'm differenent but I actually found it kind of boring, at first it was scary and exciting, but after about 10 minutes I just got sick of killing zombies and flying through the air. Th

Same, I have a friend who works there, often tells me about how good his stock prices are etc, never ever heard him talk about ethics, it's just not even on his radar. The other day I installed messenger (in the hope I never have to lo

What's going to be the value of mass produced art work? Will teens just attend concerts with robots playing guitars? Will kids just give up learning music because a computer can do it ? If that's the case, there's probably no

To be honest, they might be impressive figures but the whole military campaign has been quite a failure. Maybe the solider is able to kill more, but it doesn't seem like much has been accomplished.

This is true, the processes and technology for far greater efficiency in business, manufacturing and politics have been available for a long, long time. But why would a manager in a corporation leverage these things if it means losing an em

I feel the problem is the fact there is 100 billionaires in he first place, no one gets rich on their own. Gates et al, are clever, but didn't get where they are totally independently without others support, so they should give back. A

Same, I have bought a Dell Ultrabook (XPS-13), and with the money I'm saving I will build a very quick desktop for working from home. You're also spot on, building computers and upgrading them is a lot of fun.

Sadly I'm sure no one will be help accountable for any of this. All those innocent lives lost, the murder of Saddam (like him or not). It's probably all just going to get swept under the carpet as the focus moves onto Syria. So ma

Very good point, it's very off putting this 3 month or longer hiring process. Definitely screws with your expectations of the company. The weird thing is most of my applications lately seem to be going that slowly. It's especiall
