Très cool ! Si tu es sur Paris et que tu veux lancer un petit workshop pour apprendre aux autres à le faire je suis partant haha

It's not "tax those guys", it's "tax those corporations making profits to redistribute them fairly"

Exactly. That's why we NEED THE STATE to intervene and ask for wealth redistribution, because employers won't do it willingly

No, because these machines don't have a "will to live". So if they look to "become more efficient", it's only because we've told them (through their learning dataset possibly), that we, humans, need them to be more efficient.

"Pointing you" is very different from "finding questions on their own", or useful math. Pointing you presupposes a human is there to value their question.

Which is precisely my point. That's why humans will always be needed

Maths is made of two parts: questions, and solutions.

Machines could, presumably, become good enough at hammering at solutions. But they won't be very good at finding questions. Because questions are infinite. And to a machine, all these questions are the same.

Questions are "good questions" because they are good questions *to* humans. And that's what makes human mathematicians (and scientists) so important

Not tech savvy enough to push a button?

Not having to pay extra employees to maintain the fridges I guess

That's not clear. Perhaps the savings made by having connected fridges over the year has offset the hacking event waste, so overall it could still be worth it. Now they need to apply security patches, and possibly only use the connection for monitoring (read-only) and have a kind of "2FA" / physical presence required when sending commands from the web

Or it should/could be connected, but in a read-only mode (eg monitor the data). And control could require someone on the location doing a physical button (pushing an "authorize command" button physically behind the fridge, or in a local control room, or something)

It's routine for apps like Messenger to pre-download attachments (eg to compute a resized preview of the image etc)

They use ad network to try to target individual user visiting a page (eg you know your target is a male, 60 years old, living in that area, with a few other checks you can almost uniquely identify your target)

Then the ad network delivers a targeted ad that exploits a vulnerability (eg a broken JPEG decoder that, when sent a bad image, allows to run arbitrary code on your machine), and from there you have access to the computer

"Most browsers are highly secure"... erm no

Really? Nothing happened in church? No generalized paedophilia? No kids that got completely abused?

You probably never read about the stories, that's why you only remember your anecdotal story

Sure, it's always easy to imagine the "positive scenario" (the kid really did something wrong and got lightly restrained).

Now when you authorize a restrictive / possibly violent behavior on people having authority, and you will default to "believe them" (because they're the literal "adult in the room") you also open it to abuse

See what happened with police in the US...
