This will end in a generation best equipped to avoid government mandated network restrictions.

And one that will have good reason to disrespect government and the law.

That would be a nice idea, indeed.

It probably would, but that is already to complicated for most people.

No problem for me, but many consumers don’t think that far.

The problem is that many TVs have HDMI, but no DP.

So it would be OK to hit the suppliers with bombs like the US does in South America?

It can be even worse. One of our club members built a model for an exhibition and bought a large amount of white 1x4 directly from LEGO for this. A few months later, a few of those bricks turned yellow, while the rest is still white.

I have no idea why LEGO QC still does not get this under control, the issues with white are there for years now.

I would not call it a catastrophic failure. I would call it a valuable lesson.

Good.

Yep. Let it flag potential problems, and have humans react to it, e.g. by reviewing and correcting things manually. AI can do a lot of things quick and efficiently, but it must be supervised like a toddler.

“Delivering total nonsense, with complete confidence” - Thank you for this wonderful quote, applicable to nearly all Harvard MBAs.

But quality control by humans, even by unpaid interns, would exceed the budget!

Well, thank you for the warning. So you are saying people should avoid working for you at any cost.

Thirtyish years ago, we played a multiplayer online game called “LPMud”. There were three talking NPCs in the game: Harry, basically a simple programming example on talking and reacting NPCs, Sir Obliterator, a dark knight with a more advanced vocabulary and a few talking points about a quest, and Eliza, basically a NPC with an Eliza engine.

Usually, they never met. Harry “lived” in the core area of the game, Sir Obliterator in or around the quest area to which he belonged, and Eliza was normally not even active.

Some wizard had summoned them all to the guild hall, the entrance area of the game for fun, and they were rather busy “talking” with each other.

They were annoying, but also hilarious…

While what happened in Japan sucks and calls for an apology by Mozilla towards the team, the general idea of machine translation on demand is one of the few working examples of machine learning. I’d recommend professional systems instead of google translate, though.

Well, did anyone expect them to admit guilt?

And let me tell you how this works with cars. With planes it is the same, except that the savings are even better.

A real rich person owns no cars. He owns a car sales company. That company has a few select cars, which the rich person can “test drive” whenever they like. If the prime time of a car is over, the car is sold and a new one is bought. The car sales company pays for everything: purchase, insurance, taxes, fuel, cleaning, etc. Of course, this company does not make any profits. On the contrary. So the rich person pays for these losses, and those payments are tax deductable.

As usual. Our government, your government, totally clueless about how the internet works or what it actually is. And with all the money they waste every day, there seems to be no cent left to get some professional who could explain things on a politicians mental level. We’ve got people who successful teach computers to seniors, maybe politicians should hire some…

I had a hard time explaining to the powers that are that AI would not be able to help in any way, simply because there is no knowledge base available for this kind of job of which it could have learned anything worthwhile.

The fact that he is puzzled over that just shows how disconnected this company is from its user base.
