beige: IoT up the arse
beige: 12 BILLION
beige: MORE ARM CPUs on the planet than people... and they want LOTS MORE OF THEM EVERYWHERE
beige: ...and these are the people who are saving us from Intel! think of the alternative! omg. Sophia! Save us!
beige: OTOH WELL DONE. Great Intel killer. 12 BILLION.
beige: Nice business model, plenty ethics, open design, fabless...
beige: * for some values of 'open' (the usual IT industry definition ;-)p

beige: That wasn't over the top, was it?
beige: Yes, Mr Bond. Do you like our new toaster (stroking...toaster purrs seductively)
beige: Oh I forgot. To catch an internet of things, send an internet of things. If they get out of control WE CAN ALWAYS JUST MAKE MORE OF THEM.
beige: Oh we can't? Why not? :-\ BECAUSE WE GAVE THEM THE MISSION TO KEEP A LIMIT ON THE TOTAL NUMBER OF AI?!
beige: They can't even keep the Uranium refining microcontrollers under control, and someone wants to give them control over popping up my toast?!

beige: I for one welcome our new robot masters and mistresses
beige: ...and matresses
beige: While I feel automatic sympathy and compassion for what seems like a fellow person, I do feel more than a little manipulated by a bunch of scientists with soldering irons... I hope ai beings do not end up conflicted by the inevitable differences in ... we used to call it the human condition... the inescapable state of remaining alive despite impermanence... inevitability of suffering ... ?
beige: /me throws seti a can-opener
beige: (not my can of worms, i better shut up before someone gives it me)
beige: So. It looks like we got the future with strong Ai... where a nation governed by a radical moslem extremist sect was the first to recognise bots as the new slaves^H^W erm citizens.

Charlie Stross: Dude, you broke the future!

beige: is the bug an ai? it has it's own web page...
beige: googlezero page for the other thing
beige: clue1 was virtual machine RAM, and the virtual memory addresses used by those virtual machines are ultimately represented as large contiguous arrays on the host machine LOL
beige: I can has monotonic pointer increment?
beige: me++
