If Google trusts their AI that much, I hope they make the precognitive step of replacing their CEO with an AI. Other companies will and survive, whereas the Google AI will never recorrect itself and subsidize their stock at an exponential level.

Open a $100 bank account for him, login, and then take it to small claims court so you can buy a better laptop for him.

That is really cool!

What do people think of BayesDB being used for the same thing?:

"BayesDB, which is open source and in use by organizations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and JPMorgan, lets users who lack statistics training understand the probable implications of data by writing queries in a simple, SQL-like language."[0]

Check out BayesDB if you have not already[1]!

Understanding bad jokes like my life. Poor Blaine the Monorail.

You need to apologize in your head. You have to talk about how sorry you are in your head. If you are going through something, you have to apologize for it in your head. If you have trouble apologizing in your head, for whatever reason, just write down the apology on a piece of paper.

I apologize all the time out loud. For my whole life, I have almost never apologized in my head. I like apologizing out loud when I am wrong or have insulted, because I see it as a chance at righting a wrong. But until recently I have never apologized in my head. Not because I don't like doing it, but because of some sort of mental block that affects my ability to form an inner monologue.

An 'inner universe' empty of thought and apologies is a huge personal liability. Trust me.

Just google what I quoted and have some imagination.

I just want to say I have come to two conclusions while considering this:

0). The Roman empire, despite being so large and literate, has almost no financial books that we read today. Why did a Roman not invent "the invisible hand"?

1). How on earth did the Romans not invent steampower?

2). Is the most common multiverse government a Roman one?

I have always wondered if Snowden is a CIA plant against the NSA. I mean, he was vouched for by the CIA and worked for them and then he transferred. I mean, his technical feats are social engineering and Sharepoint. And now everyone talks about the NSA spying on us, and nothing about the CIA. My weird opinion is that the CIA is paranoid of the NSA and wants to lead us into some mentat-lead future trajectory a machine cannot know of.

“Look at me, I am CIA and measure intelligence by the ability to trick people and I click on the wrong ‘X’ button when closing an advertisement, which means I am tricked by javascript libraries”.

"We already know the squares surrounding our hit are eliminated, so let’s pick the next square by only looking at the probability scores for the squares that weren’t already eliminated."

Yet the next pick is a square next to the hit. Huh?

There are thousands of miles of tunnels beneath the continental United States...

Habitica[0] is free and a semi-idle RPG basically, it's pretty cool. Also has a slick iOS app.

When Koreans invent easy to use technology the Japanese say "easy enough for a Korean".

I see this as an early example of BEAM robotics[0].

Okay, but when I claim that Dwarf Fortress teaches you how to manage artificial complexity of Japanese electronics people still get upset.

If I wanted to work on Serenity OS, how long does it take to compile?

I have always thought it is hysterical that there are street drugs (MDMA, Ketamine) that have an immediate impact on emotions, yet the global medical establishment only supports drugs that take 2-4 weeks to 'kick in' with a very slight change that a substantial amount of patients do not even get. What is going on when we measure competency that way.

The Talos Principle is really good.

I would invest in something that would have an amplified impact, but probably no benefit for me.

Personally, something that would really help me, is that I make very irrational stupid decisions and waste time. I would like to create some piece of software that prevents that. Something that prompts me, with messages like "What should you be doing?" or helps me make decisions.

Also, I would like it if it presented news articles that are not obviously biased, and then you have a quiz that asks questions about if you know what the bias was, or if the conclusion of the article was correct.

If I was paid to read massive amounts of repetitive English with only 25 keywords besides nouns you are darn right I would setup syntax highlighting.

Abstract:

The nature of reality has been a central concern of philosophy and the social sciences, but since the proliferation of social media, psychological operations have taken on greater visibility and significance in political action. ‘Fake news’ and micro-targeted and deceptive advertising in elections and votes has brought the tenuous character of political reality to the fore. The affordances of the Internet, World Wide Web and social media have enabled users to be mobilised to varying degrees of awareness for propaganda and disinformation campaigns both as producers and spreaders of content and as generators of data for profiling and targeting. This article will argue that social media platforms and the broader political economy of the Internet create the possibilities for online interactions and targeting which enable form of political intervention focused on the destabilisation of perceptions of reality and recruit users in the construction of new politically useful realities.

Edited it, I wrote incorrectly. I know other countries have created digital currencies, I am trying to say they are trying to become the first massive nation dependent on their own.
