I once had a boss who said that I should go intoi management. I told him the only way I'd go intoi management would be to fire his ass for making such a satupid suggestion. That was the end of the discussion and I worked for 20 more years and was the highest technical level in the company worldwide, SeniorGeoscience Advisor.

Accountability and transparency need to be key values for artificial intelligence, says Macron Because if you're going to plan an AI, ask the President of France

Crazy, right? Obviously, it's the King of Sweden that should be consulted...

I liked the show "MaxHeadroom" That was a good AI because it was a upload of a real person!

Microsoft today launched two new courses in its online education program for developers: an entry-level software development class and an AI course for more advanced developers who want to expand their knowledge of machine learning. So, our devs is learning?

Quote: The Microsoft Professional Program for Artificial Intelligence is available for free on edX.org, though you can also opt to pay for a certificate.
Of course they'll try to get money from it.

"Mmmm Pay"
That was blatantly obvious.
The actual hidden message is that what you'll be paying for is Half Life 3 because MS secretly bought the franchise from Valve.   
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

Just about every game player: "Hey Valve, do you remember that you have an IP worth at least $100 million just lying around doing nothing?"
Valve: "Whatever."

The team behind the popular open-source CMS Drupal is urging admins to update their sites to ward off a nasty bug that could leave their sites “highly compromised” to attackers, according to the organization. Oh good: it's been so long since there was a major vulnerability I thought the hackers were done

The company launched a new public Domain Name System (DNS) resolver service that’s supposed to protect users from spying while speeding up their experience on the web. Assuming you want a faster, more private browsing experience

Nice! Some sites start loading much faster than using comcast.

Theyy start loading faster, but take longer to complete loading, so it's got to be better!

The site lets you upload working code for everything from websites to VR experiences, and encourages you to "remix" them regardless of your skill level. I'm sure it will meet YouTube's high standards for quality as well

Perhaps the funniest part of looking at the trend of “considered harmful” essays throughout the history of computer science is their tendency to fall into meta loops of considering “considered harmful” essays harmful. Harmful considered harmful

It’s hard to believe that not even 75 years have passed since ENIAC, that room-sized, 30-ton calculating machine, was the number-crunching hero of World War II. The computers! They've surrounded us!

Quote: A heart monitor embedded in your shirt provides real-time data to a cardiologist, who can then send updated prescriptions to your pharmacist, who can, in turn, send an alert to your smartwatch while you are driving home to say that your medications are ready to pick up. Then your GPS can automatically update itself to route you to the pharmacy, where you arrive in your self-driving car and pay for the prescription using your smartphone.
Or the same idea adjusted for a more realistic future:
A heart monitor embedded in your shirt provides real-time data is farmed by Google en route to a "cardiologist" in a call centre in Mumbai, who can then send auto-generated prescriptions to Amazon who will provide the nearest available substitute item.
They then send an alert to the smartwatch that you're somewhat laughably still wearing in the future, while you are sitting in a traffic jam to say that your medications are ready to pick up.
Then your GPS can automatically update itself to route you to the Amazon pick-up point.
After a major incident involving some roadworks that your GPS was unaware of and a lengthy trip to the local hospital, you eventually arrive in your self-driving car (in which you have already spent three hours clearing up after the previous occupant) and attempt to pay for the prescription using your smartphone, only to find that the promised 8G signal is yet not available in your area and that the legacy 6G and 7G services have been axed to make way for it and have resort to real money which is only available at a bank fifteen miles back in the direction that you have just come from.
On arriving home, late and tired, you discover that hackers have been monitoring your security system and have been fully aware of your 15 hour absence from home. Your house has been burgled and there is something on the carpet that did not emanate from your dog. To make things worse, your IoT enabled cooker has cremated your dinner and everywhere on JustEat has just stopped serving.
Finally, you take your new heart meds and realise that they are somewhat inappropriate for your previously mild angina. Clutching your chest as your head starts spinning, you find yourself pining for the days when you could simply have picked up the correct prescription from your doctor's surgery and taken it to the pharmacy next door.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

What if computers could program themselves? Instead of the laborious job of working out how a computer could solve a problem and then writing precise coded instructions, all you would have to do is tell it what you want and the computer would generate an algorithm that solves your problem. They need an intelligent designer?
