The interesting part of the news is this: """ The sources said the program was discovered by Yahoo's security team in May 2015, within weeks of its installation. The security team initially thought hackers had broken in.

So the core of the argument seems to be that there are many ways to encode a basic concept like 'something to move oxygen around' - and that without that you could not have evolution and that brings platonic essence into the evolu

We can create true, autonomous Intelligence, even though we don't understand how it really works. I predict that - we'll be able to create AI and train it just like we do with a human being.

I am all for control of our devices (even though I can see some problems with for example cars) - but it is only a part of the problem. First of all we will never control other people devices - and they will know more and more about us. Sec

In theory the European Union has a bit better law than the US in this area. I write in theory - because in practice the USA does not need to abide by it - and it is mostly US companies that keep our data. As to the awareness group - I guess

The trustlesness comes with a heavy price of Proof of Work with its wastefulness, complexity and vulnerability to various attacks. I can understand why financial institutions don't want that part.

I actually found the article interesting, but you are right that it would improve much if he worked a bit more on these parts. I stopped at exactly the same points. As to the last point French is a bit more logically spelled than English -

This might be a part of the story - but it is not the most important one. It makes a good story - a fight between the good and the evil bureaucracy. But what I have seen is rules created in perfectly good faith and often they are reasonable

Ever since reading http://strikemag.org/bullshit-jobs/ I have been thinking about this. One problem with this is the definition of 'meaningful', it is not very concrete. But I think the phenomenon is true - m
