It is not a given that any AGI would be a treat. There are plenty of Natural General Intelligences, and I don't fear monkeys taking over the world, or creating faster, better, stronger monkeys any day soon
Aí winters happened because of the hype and that people ultimately realize AGI (not even talking about the Singularity) is not as easily achievable as hyped. So interest dies.
Debt possibly. I personally knew a few people that would spend money they don't have just to show off IRL before social media was a thing, and I can see doing it to a larger audience being much more efficient.
"Next time true Communism will succeed."
And that's how we went back to book burning, again.
If you're referring to the mission of impressing the girlfriend, success doesn't seem likely.
That's like saying having to pay for any product is extortion, just because it's something you want but don't want the consequences of that, in that case paying for it.
Natural monopolies are like that. Artificial ones are either Govenrment enterprises or Government enforced taking what was initially natural one and making it into law, and tend to overstay their welcome because of…
Exactly and they have the perfect excuse: "Well when talking about deleting we mean we do the exact same thing the file system does to a file, it flags it, but doesn't actually erase it's content. Acting like a…
You accept that when you join.
Exactly. Another example is applications "phoning home" (desltop applications sending information back to the server) that not that much ago was considered a serious abuse. And people on forums would lambast you when…
It's the problem with that kind of speech, it's impersonal and dehumanizing. Let's say it like it is: facebook betrays users expectations giving their data to other businesses. Same for hacking: some people invaded…
You're still free to open a competing service, and can leverage the fact that you are better than the other guys as free advertisement basically.
Why would you block access from the EU if your site is hosted elsewhere? If you think complying with foreign regulations is not worth it, or if you're not even aware of it, it's not up to you to block anything. Why…
In a sane world they shouldn't be liable of anything if a person from another country uses their website.
Yes, it's not just because people are at the moment going through a problem that they know how to solve it. It's one thing to be in a bad situation, how it is and so on, another is to know how to get out of it.
That's also why giving money is a lot of time not a solution. Despite being easy, lazy and making people feel good about it.
What matters is that it ressonates with a common oppinion that smart phones are bad, so as long as it supports that somewhat popular position it doesn't need to be checked. We all have biases, and in fact I don't use a…
If less people use it then less people expect others to also use it.

It did. But didn't have security tied to the fs.
It's a pixel shader. It's widely used for everything involving 3D graphics these days, as most engines require you to implement one, even if it's a trivial one.
