Comment Pressing buttons vs expressing thoughts (Score 4, Interesting) 163

After touch-typing reflexively for a month or so, you start expressing thoughts directly rather than thinking, looking, typing, and repeating. It also becomes easier to control-backspace to delete and retype entire words, as you're now dealing in whole thoughts. There may also be a whole hand-eye-language-center pathway being developed, but I'm just speculating there.

Comment Won't someone think of the kids? (Score 2) 99

And my point to them is, where's the moral high ground in a landmine that can't tell the difference between a school bus full of kids and a Russian tank?

And shouldn't we also consider the machine ethics of taking out a Russian tank full of kids? It's all so confusing. I have to wonder, though, if he strategically selected "landmines" as his example, considering how recent U.S. policy has changed in this regard.
