In an op-ed for the BBC, the highly opinionated Google — and soon to be Alphabet — chairman wrote that we're closer than ever before to true artificial intelligence, and that continued research into its development will have positive side effects that will benefit the public. But it will never progress as fast as real stupidity

I guess he would know. 
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

What do Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Insemination have in common?
While both are significant advances in technology,
neither is as good as the real thing.

Yes, because we are so extremely good at identifying what is good and what is not.
Not so long ago, smoking was considered healthy. And these idiots are going to determine what is "correct" in DNA and what isn't?

Yep; here comes that cliche (again) that history never gets tired of repeating: the "Master Race."

Fascinating and disturbing in equal parts.
Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.

In July 2013 a pair of studies set the cryptography world on fire. They were posted within days of one another to an online archive where researchers share their work, and together they described a powerful new method for hiding the secrets inside software programs. It's right to the left of "wishful thinking", just past, "real soon never".

It is: unplug the power, unplug the network, seal the machine in heavy plaster and drown it in the Pacific.
That way you'll have the safest machine evah!

Cloud computing might help people work faster and smarter, but it's not secure enough to meet government standards, according to a poll of federal IT workers. Raining on The Cloud (instead of vice versa)

Government workers are scared of losing their jobs and pensions, that is why they say it is too risky.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I already said that people will become more paranoid; giving your data to someone else is a risk in itself - a risk that some should not be taking.
