I like how the government that thought they could insert a back door into asymmetric encryption without compromising it now thinks they have legislative competence in AI.

There was a fuck load of work put in to y2k. It would have fucked something up without it.some of us are old enough to remember the Y2K "scare" - worry enough people you make a load of money
Wait for epoch time in 2038. That might be fun.

Musk saying AI will do all jobs, absolute bollocks, unless it’s filly fledged robots that can move like humans then that won’t happen.
I am starting to get a really pissed off with the way “Artificial Intelligence” is becoming the latest buzzword.
There are adverts boasting about the use of AI to create…. Varifocal glasses. It's as if they didn’t exist before or t somehow makes them better. How is AI used for this? Surely they just mean computers rather than actual real AI.
Then a big feature on the news about AI, which was mainly about self driving cars. As far as I understand it that is just computers and sensors, it’s programmed and not AI as such.
Then the “new” Beatles record which was supposedly created using AI. I’m fucking sure it wasn’t AI, it was just normal computers and software and programming.
I know it is going to drive me round the bend as this trendy phrase is used more and more to sell stuff and to avoid actually explaining how anything involving a computer has been done, or to make it sound cleverer than it really is.
Now you have read this I am sure you will start to notice it too, and I will feel a tiny amount better knowing that Others are suffering with me!
To save my sanity I think I may go down the Cliff Richard route and replace the word ‘Intelligence’ with ‘Inseminatation’ every time I the phrase AI is used. In 99% of cases it will be just as accurate.
What does it need to be for it to be AI as opposed to 'just computers'? For you.

I am old enough to remember programmes like Tomorrow's World telling us that technology/computers would put us all out of work within 20 years. That turned out well?

As long as it continues to upset people who only use cash to pay for things and refuse to learn how to use a computer then I’m all for it.

Oh I am well aware of that its just the doom saying on AI at the moment reminds me of that run up period when all that work was done - same will be happening with AI but its easy headlines scaring people who are easily scared
