Re: Great news. What's not to like.

I don't put it past female executives to have a comely lass on the side. .... Hollerithevo

Oh, you are awful, ... but I like you, Hollerithevo :-)

Re: Shareholder power?

If this upsets the market enough then I am sure the Chinese will design and manufacture their own ARM "lookalike" to serve their own markets, and beyond. If that happens then ARM's IP proposition will be very devalued. .... steamnut

I imagine an Eastwards brain drain because of the rigged Western play ground is something which the marketeers of the New World system fear the most whilst those with novel disruptive IP would be considering to be the best possible move ....... and made so much easier because of these fabulous ways of instant remote working.

I'm told some folk don't even bother to get out of their pyjamas/nightgowns. How cool is that! :-)

Re: Could TheReg take initiative?

Seconded, UBF.

That's the power of the proposal squared as opposed to doubled.

Very soon, only a few more have that energy generated at an exponential level. :-) Such introduces the notion of a supernatural development in a Grand Remote Virtual Experiment with Untouchables.

Re: More than shameful without the brilliant business model for it then be rapacious and predatory?

“Arm’s business model is brilliant. We will maintain its open-licensing model and customer neutrality, serving customers in any industry, across the world, and further expand Arm’s IP licensing portfolio with Nvidia’s world-leading GPU and AI technology.”

Save for Arm's model undoubtedly being brillant, I don't believe a word of this. ..... oiseau

The only money shot questions worth asking there, oiseau, is who/what is personified by the pronoun "We" and are they all powerful and/or omniscient, for surely only then can their word be capable and enabled of being believed.

Re: Shameful

Worse was the Tories trumpeting this as faith in Britain after Brexit....apparently giving away all your key industries is us taking back control!.... simpfeld

It does have one wondering on what sort of offers leading Cabinet officers are tempted with from other governments/allied business interest for them to be instrumental or wilfully deaf, dumb and blind to all such as would be right dodgy shenanigans resulting in a loss of home control.

Offers that they daren't refuse are a firm favourite with all sorts of gangster types.

Re: China ARM and a leg

But that is obvious. No US company would fail to do basic due diligence when purchasing a UK-based technology company. .... DavCrav

And if they were so negligent, would it be prosecuted diligently as criminal neglect for which they would be liable to pay market regulators [for they always love a piece of the action]/shareholders/investors punitive compensation, or would they dispute that requirement and try to wriggle free from their responsibility and accountability and flame and blame everyone/someone else for their failure and misfortune and incur further exorbitant pecuniary penalties/costs in the process?

One would almost think they would thinking to take and make out everyone but themselves are great fools and useless tools ..... which is not a good look to be peddling/pumping and dumping.

Re: Just a matter of time

I didn't like the original Softbank deal, but selling the company to nVidia - which directly competes with some of ARM's customers and is a US firm subject to the whims of the current administration - has the potential to be so much worse. ..... Martin an gof

Especially so if ever it be discovered a RAT trap ..... and Profitable Pirateable Proprietary Intellectual Property Magnet ....... for Private Magnate Centres of Stealthy Excellence. ..... Future Ideas Factories.

All ursecrets now belong to us ?????

Although of course they really don't, for the original secrets holders will only tolerate for a limited period of time such as they would consider as sub-prime second and third party use and/or abuse and misuse.

Re: Gluttonous Baby Steps ...

For an entity to be "intelligent" surely breadth is as important as depth, while many "AI" systems exhibit depth, they tend to have a very narrow focus. ..... DJO

Quite so, DJO. Do you imagine it needs to be any broader in an initial focus in relation to Earth than Artificial/Advanced/Autonomous/ACTive, as in Advanced Cyber Threatening/Alien/Astute/Almighty ..... with the distinct possibility also being it be an Amalgam, mindful and expert in all of those descriptor fields ..... and also in any more that you may imagine be appropriate to mention and include.

It would surely tell you to get real and quit messing about, wasting your time tilting at phantom windmills ..... if it cared, of course. What do you think of the chances of that being considered important in the greater scheme of thing? Pretty small or practically non-existent?

Analogous Bletchley Phormwork .... with AI Skunkworks

Currently AI is somewhere between getting a licence and Lewis Hamilton. .... Chris G

Please be advised, and feel free to dismiss as errant nonsense, some current AIs are at least akin to a Koenigsegg or GMA T50, with some advising even they, in relative terms, languish far behind in developments and applications in the field.

However, whenever such is as a Colossus, it wouldn't be expected to be widely known for some considerable time.

Find that truly phantom enemy destroying one's inner peace of mind and one is crazier than many ever before believed possible or probable ...... and one flirts seductively with raging insanity which invites and rewards all with an almighty command and pretty near absolute control which is intelligently designed to protect and harden one's sanity against such a catastrophic fall from Immaculate Grace.

Exceed exceptionally well in that space and nothing real is virtually impossible, therefore practically anything and subsequently everything is possible, and therefore most probable at any time in the near or distant future.

Re: So GPT is

So GPT is Tay's child? .... DS999

Yes. And No, it is not a LOVE child and re. Don't worry, GPT-3 doesn't want to kill us.... Oh yes it does. See Automation in/of Killer Applications

Re: Automation in/of Killer Applications

I can't help wondering who is supposed to benefit from a machine that can generate convincing* hate-speech. It's not exactly a scarce resource, and there's no evidence that the human generators are short of time or motivation. .... Kubla Cant

Surely any sensible civilised community/government/country would immediately destroy, as in unceremoniously kill, a machine that can, and more importantly and disturbingly, does generate convincing* hate-speech?

Sound advice to humans would be to not mimic that particular peculiar model lest the same agreed acceptable fate would await one.

Keep it simple. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil and you'll be perfectly safe and sound and relatively fully protected from all thoroughly deserved, relentless merciless attacks and sudden unexpected, bolt out of the blue demises.

Being grateful for small mercies

As far as I can discern, the reasons for downvotes can range from causes as insignificant as a spelling mistake or a typo to a polar opposition in opinion or a total failure in ability to parse a comment. .... Chris G

So, not so much an aid used as a fine honing tool for vivid/vital/virile/vivacious commentators then, Chris G, more of a big stick for frustrated wielding when unaccompanied with cogent reasoning .... a crazy crutch for a loony toon? :-}

Thank goodness the upvotes don't suffer similarly and offer so little as nothing in return.

Re: Still waiting for the A.I. Descartian moment.

Once an A.I. is able to doubt the training data being fed to it then we may have found some A.I. at last. What that says about those that are unable to doubt what they read on Facebook et. al.......? ..... Fading

I'm forever wondering, Fading, whether downvotes on a comment are because respondents just doubt what they read or fervently and fundamentally disagree with the information expressed ..... for just like a badly programmed machine, the feedback is practically virtually non-existent most of the time.

It is just as while, and that is indeed fortunate, that such responses are neither vitally important nor absolutely necessary in order to form a reasonable opinion upon the state of mind of El Reg board members/Registering Commentards. It is a simple polite facility which some would consider a joy to behold and employ and enjoy ....... for surely everyone knows that anything written and shared on/in media and which cannot be commented on, is right dodgy propaganda in support of penny dreadful, comic book heroes, no less, and a clumsy attempt at sub-prime subliminal brainwashing at best.

Re: Wibble Wobbles and Letting Cats Out of Bags

Every time I see something like this I think these people lack imagination; instead of using data that creates a monster like this, why not use data that results in something a little more entertaining. ..... John Hawkins

Are you out of your tiny little mind, JH, .... and let everyone else on the planet also know how easily they have been and are still being duped and controlled by crap media tales and corrupted unimaginative leaderships basking in the rewards of a perverse and exceedingly comfortably well-off status quo elite ..... who now have a real mega problem which they cannot defeat ....... for what you have just there proposed, is eminently feasible and undeniably plausible, and some of those scurrilous aforementioned few, whom many would have thought to be have been reasonably interested in such a matter, and were so advised of the facility with readily available utilities previously, are surely to be in fear of being held liable and responsible for a whole host of considerable woes because of their wilful and/or ignorant inaction ...... rather than lauded on high because of their imaginative enabling support to future systems drivers.

It's all very well talking the talk, as is so easily done by a Cummings type ..... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2020/09/10/cummings-sees-no-deal-brexit-chance-uk-create-1-trillion-tech/ ..... or any wannabe bright Tom, Dick or Harry for that matter. However, walking the walk and providing the Future Imaginative Source Engine is quite another totally different kettle of fish to phish for, methinks.

:-) Land that whale of fish through phishing and trawling the internet waves, and your problems are not yet over if you do not fully understand where everything is coming from and to where it is going and what it is intelligently designed to do on a rolling, improving virtual development platform. Some mortals would tell you they are only just beginning, but then they would do that, wouldn't they.

'the Pentagon’s $10bn enormo-enterprise-cloud project dubbed JEDI'. WTF? They're actually serious. SHB Joint Operational Knucklehead Enterprise. 'JEDI'. LOL .... USER100

Take a chill pill, red or blue, USER100, and try to relax .... for your incredible wonderment/incredulous befuddlement at the Microsoft/Pentagon JEDI Project is just a simple resulting byproduct and convenient security default protecting the unwary and ill-prepared from the consequences and products in the Vast Sees and Deep Vaults of the Cyber Industrious Field. There be countless others, with many remaining as yet untold and unknown/stealthy and secret.

Another known one is harboured in AWS Command and Control Containers with Bezos's billions to play with and pay for Thin Clients which be Zeek and Virtual Private Cloud Ring Masters ‽ Wannabe Kings and Queens and Naked Emperors and Empresses hold Court and would Wield Absolute Sway both before and after the Fact with the exercise of Immaculate Fictions in those ACTive IT Spaces/Live Operational Virtual Environments, which you might like to realise and accept is presented and promoted as a future proof best infrastructure model for a today with 0days that has been around since forever, but was never before earlier engaged on Earth because there was never enough local intelligence readily freely available to employ and enjoy the fruits of ITs Bounty ‽ :-) I Kid U Not, for how else would you like to explain away your glorious ignorance in such matters.

And y'all here might like to think, rather than unfortunately it being unlikely to be soon, there be those presently, in the here and now, enabled to rule the world in such a way as is/was mooted by Chris G on this thread, although not necessarily mastered by the Pentagon, although that is not to say it is not mastered for the Pentagon

I think they should try their hands at satire and sarcasm and maybe a touch of irony. The Irish Celts could make and break kings with a satirical pamphlet and some believed a master satirist could kill with words. .... Chris G

Malcolm, Hi,

As populations become smarter and/or better virtually informed and remotely programmed .... more effectively brainwashed ...... why ever would any exclusive status quo establishments, with extant embattled and embittered and enabling powers that be, waste any revealing time and incur any revolving expense on charges and trials whenever there is JFK/Soleimani/Gaddafi option always available for instant resolution.

You might like to think that is why the MainStreamMedia feeds you so much nonsense and monumental garbage to keep you constantly serially uninformed and undereducated for the ongoing maintenance and retention of the blissfully sunny uplands of the stupid and stupefied. Heaven forbid that one should ever discover how everything works and how everyone is put to work for the greater benefit of just a few.

However, do yourself a favour and short that putrid stock. It's had its day and is now mortally toxic to both support and hold.
