Skynet it ain't: Deep learning will not evolve into true AI, says boffin

Re: Seems clear, refuse to use it if that's what you believe

> "So if on the NHS you, or any of your family, get offered a system called Ultromics to review your cardiovascular health you will of course refuse, point blank, because 'its dangerous' and 'bull'?"

conlinb: you sound a bit hysterical. After using my "deep learning", you are in danger of blowing a gasket.

[ from the article in question ]

"Humans, as they read texts, frequently derive wide-ranging inferences that are both novel and only implicitly licensed, as when they, for example, ..." (edit) - read colinb's comments. =)

What a wonderful tool to have and use. (I did read your link.) But Ultromics workings do not relate to the problems discussed in the article. The article states that narrowly-confined and focused - AI performs very well.

All the best to your friend.

> "A.I. is a misused label, so what."

It certainly is uncontaminated by cheese.

p.s. I will remember your friend in my prayers.

BlackBerry Motion: The Phone That Won't Die

Hi M0rt,

Sorry for my confusion. After a long absence, I fired up my Z30 blackberry. I happened to select Amazon APPS icon - which led me to their services.

I had forgotten about Blackberry World. Apps are still there, and there are no restrictions.

Again, sorry for my bit of FUD, and your correction.

Up, up and away - JellyBean :-)

Amazon now handles Blackberry apps. To actually use the app, you have to be logged-in to Amazon "service".

Hmm ...
