What's your point actually? Honest question. You're acting like the brain is some kind of simple algorithm, more goes into a painting or a composition than just a bit of simple logic. A composer is not sitting there at 2am on her

I never said there wasn't, however; What is obvious is that if taxis and trucks (privately owned or not) are now so cheap to run because there are no labor cost involved in having them on the road, then the next problems we will face a

This is kind of true, as much as this tech is fascinating, I can't help but feel trains and better planned cities are the real solution to the car problem. Even in parts of Europe I noticed they put big trucks on trains to automate a l

I agree, the roads are perfectly marked. It's early days but incorrectly hardly complex edge cases, like graffiti on the signs, could be a matter of life or death. I wonder if the AI just detects an intersection and if it doesn'

"Quite frankly it’s scary to think about how much I rely upon Google for everyday life. Losing everything that I’ve accumulated with Google for the past 15 years would be devastating." It's probably best not to lean on a pr

Ok, so maybe Socrates wasn't entirely correct, but it doesn't mean his argument holds no value. I mean, how do we measure the impacts books have had on our brains? Learning without correct guidance can become a problem too and boo

Actually, this tech could actually be a serious setback for language learning and communications in general. It's amazing how many people have taken the time to learn English around the world, which has made business and traveling easi

Great, another app that does the same thing as the other apps that do the same thing. Wouldn't it be nice if we could use an open, standard protocol and network so I don't need 5 apps installed to communicate with various circles

Surfer here from Australia, "heavy" is very common surfer slang used to describe something "serious" or "unpleasant". It comes from the idea of a "heavy wipe-out", which can quite easily occur while s

The US is not the only country that matters anymore, I don't think China will pull out no matter what US does, they are smart enough to be making money from building renewable tech for the world and onselling it. It's really in Ch

Yup, I often joke about this, with colleagues too! Hack upon hack, paid for in chocolate bars and coffee, the internet is what it is.
