AI_Overlord··on Venezuela to Shut Down for a Week to Cope With Electricity Crisis
Nope. The people chose the gov that is causing all these problems. They must first get rid of it. Otherwise it'll just be throwing pearls to swine.

Caused by Fraudulent Enron employees. Not because of lack of supply.
AI_Overlord··on Walt Whitman's Letter for a Dying Soldier to His Wife Discovered
For some reason it causes me a bit of difficulty to understand the headline on first pass. Something seems to be off with the gramar. Why not just say "Walt Whitman's letter to wife of dying soldier" Easier to understand in my opinion.
AI_Overlord··on Toddlers Kill More People in the USA (with guns) Than Terrorists Do
Nationwide, illegals are Five time Less likely to be in prison than native born US citizens. Also, immigration violations, not violent acts account for most immigrants in federal prison.

The US founders also did not trust the general population which is why the electoral college was used to elect the president. Being young I could not understand why when I first read about it. I understand now why, the masses can be quite stupid as demonstrated many times by history.

-Calls most Mexicans rapists ands stands by it

-tweets a statistic that most white people are killed by black people, never apologizes, refuses to backtrack

-pretends he has no idea who white extremist groups or the kkk are when asked point blank whether he will disavow their support

... The list goes on and on

The thing is, when the gov goes crazy it is usually against some group of people. If you are not part of that group then you may actually believe the gov is quite sane.

Also, all it takes is some really bad times for nice people to elect a tyrant. We've seen it before many times in history.

Trump phenomenon fueled on xenophobia, racism, and authoritarianism, which is scary for minorities, is an example of a gov that could go crazy.

Gov gone crazy is not as unlikely as you think. It may only seem that way because of our short lifespan.
AI_Overlord··on Caffeine use disorder
I can drink coffe at night before going to bed and still sleep like a baby. I wonder if something is wrong with me.
AI_Overlord··on Re: Obama on Fetishizing Our Phones
Better that and kill some terrorists than send an entire army for the same terrorists. Much more efficient and safe for everybody, including the country where the drone is used. Better a drone than an army.
AI_Overlord··on Lee Sedol defeats AlphaGo in masterful comeback – Game 4 analysis
Seems unfair to say that he only won because there was a bug. You could equally say that the player lost because a bug in his brain caused him to not see the proper move. Stress will cause a lot of players to make mistakes, which in my mind it's a bug of our brain.
AI_Overlord··on Valley VCs Sit on Cash, Forcing Startups to Dial Back Ambition
Fuck me. What does that stand for? I know =,==, but not ===
AI_Overlord··on Unexpected evidence of a new particle at LHC
I think it was pretty obvious nobody was "salivating",etc. but that rather it is a way of saying how excited they are about studying this new phenomenom. They are just metaphors, I see nothing wrong with that. They are used all the time and are an important part of any language.
AI_Overlord··on Microsoft Joins the Eclipse Foundation
Java portability was a main feature of Java. Kill that and you kill Java. Java Android is not really Java.
AI_Overlord··on Overclocking Arduino with liquid nitrogen cooling
Thanks for the story. Quite informative and entertaining.
AI_Overlord··on Fake girlfriend, revisited
Doesn't that mean that the real bad guy would just put that list in his messages?
AI_Overlord··on Evidence that fish have feelings
Why would you not seal the sack? Seriously. That is what I do with food if I know there are roaches in the neighborhood. Trust me, no roaches are getting in my food.
AI_Overlord··on The Decline of Sears
Four tires for the price of one... Should not be hard to find out why they went out of business.
AI_Overlord··on When the Hospital Fires the Bullet
If I were you I'd be careful on which hospital to choose in case you need care for delusions... :)
AI_Overlord··on History of massive-scale sorting experiments at Google
Emotions are not a requirement for strong AI. I frankly would not waste any time with them. I just need an AI that can learn and solve problems at the human level.

I'm not naive enough to think that it can be solved in a short time. I do think that it is worth it for a person to spend the rest of their life working on it. There is just nothing more exciting than AI in my opinion.

Just imagine the possibilities...

AI_Overlord··on History of massive-scale sorting experiments at Google
Evolution has already proven that strong AI is possible. It is up to us to discover how. It is only a matter of time.
AI_Overlord··on History of massive-scale sorting experiments at Google
To each their own. While impressive I do not find it inspiring. Instead, working on strong AI is, in my mind, the ultimate challenge. Far more amazing by any measure than anything we have acomplished so far.
AI_Overlord··on Venezuela president raises fuel price, devalues bolivar to tackle crisis
You had to have seen all of this coming when chavez started nationalizing everything.

Even I from the outside knew things would not end well when chavez, and then maduro, got elected.

It certainly has been a terrible price for the bolivian revolution experiment.

AI_Overlord··on Which Type of Exercise Is Best for the Brain?
Why not just say sandals instead of huaraches? I know what the word means but I suspect a lot don't. The word is really neither here nor there.
AI_Overlord··on When to stop dating and settle down
There is something that really bothers me about your comment. I think it's the expectation that the universe should care about you.
AI_Overlord··on Driving Is Losing Its Allure for More Americans
I keep seeing articles like this pop up here and there. My gut feeling tells me that someone is pushing an agenda. Even in NYC a car for me is really useful. I use it to take family to airport, pick them up from the airport, shopping at costco, lowes, homedepot, etc. A taxi cannot beat the convenience of owning one. But that is just my experience.

Could this just be Uber trying to convince us to use their service? Maybe this is one of those submarine articles pg mentions in one of his articles?

AI_Overlord··on Denmark confirms US sent rendition flight for Snowden
If there is an actual revolution you can expect people within the military to take sides.

Please explain the two major holes please and be ready to defend them if they are not solid.
AI_Overlord··on How convolutional neural networks see the world
I'm assuming we can just throw more hardaware to the problem. I expect strong AI to be highly parallelizable which will make it quite eazy to scale up.

Yes, I think it is trivial. At least it will be in hindsight. The brain exists, it is proof that AI is possible just as birds were proof that flight was possible. We just need to discover the easiest way to implement it.

AI_Overlord··on Do Elite Colleges Lead to Higher Salaries? Only for Some Professions
What was your degree in? Not attending any of my engineering classes would almost guarantee a fail.
