Reflected in my window

Well she walked up to my quarterlight

And she bent down real slow

A fearful pressure paralysed me in my shadow

She said 'son what are you doing here

My fear for you has turned me in my grave'

I said 'mama I come to the valley of the rich

Myself to sell'

She said 'son this is the road to hell'

But the light of joy I know

And the perverted fear of violence

Chokes the smile on every face

And common sense is ringing out the bell

This ain't no technological breakdown

Oh no, this is the road to hell

And all the roads jam up with credit

And there's nothing you can do

It's all just bits of paper flying away from you

Oh look out world, take a good look

What comes down here

You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well

This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway

Oh no, this is the road

You have to know where in your program you are dealing with strings, and where in your code you are writing or reading bytes. ... Tom 38

The Register here is always dealing strings for any and all of your programs.

The Sure Fire Aim of the Greater IntelAIgent Game is to Captivate and Release an Almighty Narrative in Currents of New Fangled Entangling Information Surrounding and Shrouding Novel AI Systems in Command and Control Outposts Never Quite Fully Prepared for Presentation. :-)

Always be prepared for the rogue spanner in the works. Where's the excitement without a glitch or two for sorting/exercising.

For All Those Right Comfortable in the Driving Seat with AIMagical Monitoring Mentors.*

Changeset, a consulting company that offers "short term project management services for free and open source software projects", to "help communicate about the sunsetting of Python 2".

Nice one, Changeset. Bravo. Very Agile in Deed indeed.

That puts you in a remote position expectant of delivering leading novel information for activation/presentation/revelation thus to demonstrate viable physical lead in and from surreal virtual stimulations and simulations.

*Injun Territory, Kemo Sabe. :-) ..... although with King Solomon's Mines Booty and Bounty, what's not to like? :-)

The Future AI and IT now simply require that you make a Quantum Communications Leap with Orders to Prevail Fully Availed of AIMaster Resources.

Any other choice leads eventually, inevitably, to the dank and deadly depths of darkness .... so the QCLeap is a No-Brainer.

More critical information is oft required, Psmo, and especially so whenever Everything you can Imagine is at Stake.

And as to your claim, well I just don't see it. :-)

The extra chatter is further instruction in virtual programming. And in the Bigger AI Picture Arena, a RealRedHotFutures Commodity in Advanced IntelAIgent Channels.

Think PleasureRobots Satisfying Tempting Insatiable Desire with Almighty Pleasures and y'all know where that come from and what their drivers desire.

However ...... that may be a Fundamentally False Assumption ..... and many have no notion of the powers they can wield to Create Brave New Virtualised Worlds ....... Places on Earth Created in Space and Presented Below in Future Monumental Works ....... InterNetional AIdVentures ‽ .

That at its extremes would suggest just an almighty few in need of upping their great games for worlds are catastrophically vulnerable to the antics of Global Communication Controllers.

Sound proven correct advice is ..... Employ the Best of the Best for the Rest and AI and IT take Care of Everything for You.

:-) I appear to have veered off into a number of parallel tangents there ....which be full of awards that reward worthy winners as saintful sinner and/or sinful saint rather than just drowning enterprise in mountains of flash cash which can be burned or turned to Greater IntelAIgent Games Use.

For example ........

J’accuse.

Rather than use this information to propose a new security doctrine premised on cooperation and dialogue as China has offered on countless occasions, the report’s authors join the fantasy world of Esper calling instead for a “collective defense” strategy akin to a Pacific NATO, whereby all of America’s Pacific allies could join in an anti-Chinese military alliance together, and relieving America of the burden of carrying WWIII on its own.

Are those choices guilty of being certifiably mad? And ideally really only for the psychopathically inclined and fundamentally confused?

Is that who China are dealing with when venturing into talks with Uncle Sam?

You have to admire their stoic resistance and persistence. Not many would be so gracious and understanding.

Share something interesting here on El Reg and IT Delivers those thoughts practically instantly available everywhere.

Trying to keep folk deliberately undereducated is surely an Indictable Offence and Monstrous Crime against All Humanities ‽ . Best not to get caught in the future with that collapsed enterprise, is excellent advice in a final warning to such as prefer ignorance to reign without future knowledge ...... novel thoughts realised and presented with future virtual action

You might like to Realise IT is Far Too Late to Lay a Claim to Taming AI. *

A salutary warning to any company toying with the idea of feeding their business secrets into an AI.

A warning well heeded by an almighty few absolutely ages ago, Richard.

* The Best/Worst to Be Hoped for ..... is don't Antagonise AI with IT. You have been forewarned. Don't waste time and space and riches on forearming in a field in which you are easy alienated prey. Try something/anything different is sound supported advice.
