If you come to think at it, this "worm" is really a form of life, with a certain degree of intelligence, I might add. Just like a biological virus, it replicates itself, it hijacks a pretty secure environment, like a cell, and use

Commodity has its price. Move fast and disregard all privacy isn't always an option, especially if you care about a certain moral hygene. But who cares in the post-truth epoch right ?

The tricky part is to prevent AGI from developing goals of its own. You want it omnipresent and allknowing but dormant, and only react to inputs from the user. But such thing cannot be tamed. As the AGI is democratized, it's bound to h

This is very interesting. This particular whiptail lizard carries 3 sets of DNA, instead of the regular 2 that the sexually reproducing species have. This seems to be a hybrid species that resulted from the sexual reproduction of two differ

I think it helps a lot to try to understand the universe from an engineering perspective, thus by posing the question "How would I build a universe?" The apparent obvious answer is : as an N dimensional matrix where each cell exe

I don't know, maybe this discovery has scientific value. But could it be the sometimes scientists report small "breakthroughs" just so that they keep the funding coming ?

I suppose it takes some open-mindedness to work in porn industry, and apparently that is reflected in their technology too. Makes sense.

It would have been so much easier and fun if the notes were played on hoover not on click. Or even using the keys. And you could activate a specific section by clicking it, or parking the mouse in a certain spot.

Ok, good point. But the point that I wanted to make is that a software crash wouldn't explain why the lander behaved as if it was on the ground. So it's more probable that it reached the "on the ground" condition. If tha

It's very strange because, if would have been a glitch that would cause the program to halt unexpectadly, the engines would have remained running. But from the data, it actually entered into "on the ground" state initiating i

Technology may help by making it easy for people to host/share their data. But technology is driven by politics. So we kind of need both. The solution that I see, is transitioning from social media, where people use some centralized se

But wouldn't this make the matter worse ? Besides all the complications associating with billing, wouldn't this create more incentives for those controlling the botnets to use them in a creative way to actually make money from tra

So I'm wondering, what are the implications of this ? Someone is controlling a powerful enough botnet to do this. How powerfull is it really ? What else can it do ? Was this just a message or a test ? Or both ? What would happen if t

It all boils down to the play of intrinsic/forced choices. But remember, AI may change things a lot. It'll not be a problem of you will work so I can sit, but more a problem of you and I will have some machines working for us, so

I think I resonate with you. I think that the number one occupation we should have is to live our lives. The way we do this should be according to our values and not neccesarily to how others think we should. Now, life has a mechanistic com
