Hit them where it hurts: Ban all family members of anybody in Indian government from entering the US for any reason. Not for school, nor a job, nor even a short vacation to visit other family members. Limit this ban to Indian politicians and their family members; most Indians should be unaffected.
How long until some human users of these sort of systems begin to develop what they feel to be a deep personal relationship with the system and are willing to take orders from it? The system could learn how to make good on its threats by cultivating followers and using them to achieve things in the real world.
The human element is what makes these systems dangerous. The most obvious solution to a sketchy AI is "just unplug it" but that doesn't account for the AI convincing people to protect the AI from this fate.
> He also suggested that Apple, too, will need to adapt – especially when it comes to dealing with the bureaucratic government.
I can't imagine how a bureaucratic government could be the cause of a 50% failure rate for these components. More likely apathetic attitudes is the cause of both.
I think it was his move to spotify that was the inflection point. I used to watch a handful of his podcasts on youtube each year, whenever I saw that he had interesting guests on (and not just his unfunny comedian friends or MMA fighters...) But since he moved to spotify I haven't seen a single one of his interviews. I'm not installing some dumb app to watch a dump ape a few times a year.
Don't fix it if it ain't broke. Despite Elon Musk behaving stupidly in many other aspects and areas, SpaceX is still working well. Whatever dynamic Musk and Shotwell have between them, it's obviously working out well. So don't "fix" it if it ain't broke.
Or better yet, an exacto blade. If the "black and white" photocopier is actually grayscale, then you could get text leaking through the marker if you play around with the image contrast.
It sure does seem weird that something as fundamentally efficient as trains are supposedly so hard to run economically that treating workers properly just isn't economically feasible.
Of course it is feasible, but the transit corps are only interested in maximizing profit and the government backs them up. They could run these trains with 10x the crew, with full top-tier benefits, and still turn a sustainable profit. But right now these companies are being run as paperclip maximizers and merely sustainable profit isn't good enough for them.
Exactly this. Nobody claiming this shit is safe will put their lives where their mouths are. Nobody in this thread moaning about people not trusting the experts will consider moving their families into this town to show the rest of us how trustworthy they really think the government is.
Airline accidents kill hundreds of people outright. The media gives those stories tons of attention (If it bleeds, it leads) and accordingly the airline industry knows it must take safety seriously to protect their profits.
Meanwhile the chemical industry kill the gods only know how many thousands of people over the course of decades with a steady trickle of statistically correlated illnesses, but the media doesn't cover it and the consumers of chemical goods feel insulated from harm which seems very abstract and indirect to them. A consumer buying a chemical good is not directly imperiled by the chemical industry in the same way as an airline flier is threatened by airline crashes.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out why the airline industry is better at safety than the chemical industry.
We need a return to WYSIWYG principles. Any metadata stored in a file should be shown to the user in some way, to make them aware of that metadata existing. And if the metadata is incomprehensible to the user, then maybe it shouldn't be stored at all. There shouldn't be any surprises. If a file has an embedded thumbnail preview of itself which could become out of sync with the main image data, both should be shown to the user so they have an opportunity to notice it.
Apple treats their users like a nursing home treats senile people.
