This needs to be a constitutional amendment.

Non-biological beings cannot be legally considered conscious or persons.

Nope.

I think likely the biggest revenue generator for any AI company is going to be people paying monthly fees for robots. It sounds silly, but I can totally imagine a situation where there are a LOT of households paying $200+ a month for a robot servant.

How much would you pay for a personal chef, maid, butler, etc. Imagine coming home from work and you have dinner on the table, the house is clean and decorated for the holiday, etc. Robots are getting friggin' darn close to being able to do that. I think a lot of households would pay very handsomely for that.

AI will clean up the messes that AI makes.

Just turn them upside down. Problem solved.

A month-to-month drop of .2% is just reporting on noise.

Skype was awesome in the early 2000s. There was nothing like it. I could have and should have dominated the mobile and internet messaging industry, especially with the backing of Microsoft.

But instead, MS bought it up so that it would stop competing with MSN Messenger. They starved it.

I hope they don't do the same thing to GroupMe -which is still awesome despite MS.

Computer malware is getting better and better and computer users are getting dumber and dumber.

Companies better start setting aside large amounts of money for ransom fees.

They had 10,000 "orders".

I bet they shipped far fewer. I bet they didn't even ship a baker's dozen.

But here is the problem with self-driving cars: one will eventually crash. When a human driver crashes and kills people, well that's a tragedy but it's a one-off. You punish that one person, and life goes on. But when a self-driving vehicle crashes, it's no longer a one-off. You've got thousands, or millions, of the exact same cars on the road with the exact same software. If another car somewhere else makes the same mistake and kills MORE people, now you have a major recall problem. You aren't just talking about a liability insurance payout, now we are talking a negligence lawsuit against the company.

Currently if a human crashes a Tesla, it's the drivers fault. But if a self-driving Tesla crashes, then it's Tesla's fault.

So do human lawyers. But when human lawyers do it there can be repercussions.

You can't hold computers accountable. It's not a thing that can care about accountability. You can hold humans accountable. This is why AI won't replace humans. The HUMAN lawyers can be punished for making professional errors, a computer AI can't be.

And Mexico can (and should) prohibit google from operating in their borders.

It's literally the same "phenomenon" for all physical fitness. If you don't workout your muscles, they will atrophy. If you don't work out your mind, it will too.
