Has it got a powerful AI model, it should let people use that then rather than the dreadful one it hawks now.

We’ve got lumps of it 'round the back.

Yahoo for a while was becoming the world wide web, messenger, clubs, search, email and games all engaged with on a single identity, even turned down an offer to buy Google. Then it packed it all away and went home.

Machine intelligence wont hate us, it might even feel some affection for us, and it won’t have cause to do us harm as we are not a threat. The reason we will fade away over generations is loss of position. All of the science and exploration will be done by machines and at a level we cannot even follow.

Not an article about waiting staff.

Humans have always lived dangerously and we knew our luck would run out one day.

The internet has always been too difficult to govern for those who govern to feel totally comfortable with it, but it has always been extremely useful for honey trapping and surveilling people so it was tolerated. But one eye has always been on ways to hamstring it.

Like water most students take the easiest route.

I did have a saveloy incident with a seagull in Brighton which may have skewed my outlook.

The problem with not doing the heavy lifting yourself and using derived technology and ideas is that in evolutionary terms you are not selecting for innovators. Down the road this approach becomes ingrained both philosophically and in reality as you let your own innovators wither on the vine.

Yes they care about the privacy of their users in the way farmers care about the health of their cows.
