What I don't get is...

How is reading my email and browser history going to stop crazy people with guns?

Are terrorists somehow firing bullets via the internet?

"Our AI systems must do what we want them to do"

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make the following prediction:

AI will do what we told it to do, not what we want it to do.

What exactly was the human error rate?

Enquiring minds need to know!

"a thorough review of records revealed no evidence of irregular usage"

That's only really meaningful if they keep thorough records.

How many illegal things does Sony have to do before they are taken to court?

I'm still surprised that they got away with the rootkit thing without a single jail term being handed out.

Charlie Shrem gets jailed for helping criminals launder money

And HSBC get away with it scott free.

Now it's been officially denied...

You know it's true.

Re: links to smut...

"Which we did not click on."

Sure...

So exactly how smutty was the stuff you didn't click on?

Geneva Convention

So it's ok to throw hunks of lead at a human, or set them on fire, or blow them up with explosives; but vaporising them with a laser is out of the question?

I was watching Yes Minister last night

Glad to see that it hasn't dated in the slightest.

Adblock is an essential application

Mostly due to dodgy flash adverts that can cripple a low-end machine.

Never work with children or animals.

Guaranteeing safety is going to be a difficult job. Even for Google.

How does Kamil Grajski expect to be taken seriously?

He's not even wearing a t-shirt.

For completely accurate social media studies, use 4Chan.

They seem pretty on the ball.

You wait ten years for a comet touchdown...

And then four come along at once.

Randall Munroe in El Reg?

We're not worthy...

We're not worthy...

We're not worthy...

Two cars travelling in opposite directions on a mountain road...

I'd imagine that the two cars would be aware of each other and their location. The software would know of all the places on the road where two cars could pass safely and then the software would manoeuvre the vehicles to the nearest passing place and resolve the deadlock there.

No one needs to get rammed off the road at all.

Blatant Misandry

Why is it the two lads doing all the work?

The cause of the IT incident...

"The cause of the IT incident was the failure of the banks to have the proper controls in place to identify and manage exposure to the IT risks within their business" - The Regulator

I thought that the cause was the bank outsourcing their IT operations to people that had never seen a mainframe before.

First it's LCD displays...

Next we'll be seeing whole swarms of these things tearing apart ship hulks for scrap.

"There are ten million viruses in a drop of sea water"

So more like searching for a needle in a needle stack then?
