So you missed the news about the Uber robot killing the bike rider? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

You need way more than that. The entire situation must be assessed. Does it look like a military or peaceful target? What might the collateral damage be? Is the lead vehicle part of the convoy or a civilian car. 100s of other possibilities.

Humans will be taking care of the decision for a long time. If and when robots decide to kill or not, I really do not want to be alive, for the world will be a beyond scary place.

This may not be AI, but has potential to be a heck of a weapon.

First 3 minutes is cool and then goes hypothetical scaremongering.

I always liked her Wellesley college commencement speech. Keep in mind this is an all women's college and many students protested her as the speaker because she was famous, as they said, only as the wife of an accomplished man. I took a lot of courage to give a message to that audience that there is more to life than climbing the corporate ladder, which I agree with 100%.

He was the GOP version of Hillary, he expected the nomination to be handed to him based on his name. I doubt he would have won, however. The President is a fink.

See a movie called Mona Lisa Smile.
It's about a women's college in 1954
(it was Wellesley, in fact) where
the attitude was the polar opposite
of what it is today. A woman could
ONLY succeed if she married the
right man and that's what the college
drilled into the girls heads.
