Looks like a really cool project. Congratulations on the momentum!

I have some feedback to share:

- A thing that bothers me a bit is the extremely long URL that Guggy generates. It's probably not a priority, but those would look and play nicer as shortened links.

- As always there's a slight "uncanny valley" problem when computers match up images with natural language. I sent this to a co-worker as a test, and she complained about the insincere looks on the Seinfeld cast faces: http://bit.ly/2viBamB. It achieved the opposite of what I intended :I

- Let people re-caption existing Guggies

Lots of domain experts casually mention that there's nothing defensible in a well trained model.

If that's what gets you going: Russia could also match or beat America in AI.

This article title is a bit off. The audio is not generated, the video is not convincing, and the original conversation is not fake.

This is an art project which highlights the implications of research like Face2Face: https://youtu.be/ohmajJTcpNk

It would be interesting to know how many users are impacted. AT&T stats imply some astronomic numbers: https://www.att.com/Common/about_us/pdf/att_btn.pdf

Your points are valid, but I'm not sure about the strategy. It would definitely make sense for left wing adversaries to use the same techniques, ending in total media pollution. Even if that helps everyone distinguish fact from spin, Google's mission would inevitably have to shift towards estimating the credibility of such organized mis-information.

OP here. I didn't submit this because of politics, but because the validity of Google's search engine results is something that may concern the community. The takeaway here might be that until Google does something about this, you are being overtaken by the competitor with more recent updates, spread through a number of online properties. For instance: Hashicorp could try to improve traffic by moving all their product blogs to their respective domains. I'll add that despite Google's attention to Black hat SEO throughout the years, identifying these types of affiliations is an open problem, perhaps not that critical for a functioning search engine (until gaming starts to skew the results). So maybe that's somehing we'll have to take into consideration for years to come.

I suppose that's a variation of Hanlon's razor, but this isn't a rule of thumb situation. They are winning at gaming the biggest source of information, which shouldn't be hapenning regardless of their motivations.

I hope everyone is keeping in mind that constant conversion + more traffic = more users.

I think the causality you were trying to invoke goes "If you eat more than you need, you could become overweight." As such, it describes ways people can become overweight, not the cause for obesity or food cravings.

People are overweight for reasons other than "eating too much," just as drug addicts relapse for reasons other than "trying meth once." I'm actually comfortable thinking about greed as a symptom of a disconnected world view as well. Just one that none of the afflicted are inclined to treat.

Snapchat was always evolving the product way too slow for me. It took them forever to liberate the emojis into stickers. The few hit features they nailed won't help them cross over. It could happen that they will continue to lack some core features, that make a social app used widely & frequently. Like how Facebook seamlessly added threaded comments somewhere along the way, while following conversations on Twitter falls under graph theory.

So afl-fuzz could technically be considered the most advanced universal software license key generator? :) I suppose the days are numbered for offline validation.

"User profiles with persistent content, what's the point of that anyway," said Snapchat. "Oh look, our users are ephemeral too."

Are remote management functions of portable consumer electronics (i.e.: remotely wiping your iPad) also supported by similar hardware chips from other vendors?

Yes. It is his uncontrollable urge for getting thousands of corporate IT admins to disable the Management Engine, at it again.

I hoped they did it to prove themselves that advertisers will use such capabilities to take advantage of innocent filterless future consumers, but that would require a diametrically inverse interpretation of results. Having worked in advertising, I feel we should have heavy-handed restrictions with regard to advertising to minors. Given the potential for abuse, I would recommend enforcing equal restrictions on targeting based on the current emotional state. Irrational decisions are the motor of many successful marketing campaigns (things like anchor pricing are the norm). Letting advertisers sophisticate the message according to the customers emotional state, is like giving sudo privilege to a bitlocker. The metrics on their dashboards do not include morals. We have to stay on top of this.

> the absolute murder "small businesses" get away with, (like; taking their personal Truck as a deduction, by calling it a "work truck")

How about "work computer"?

I'm sure they will put in lots of overtime. Maybe fire them while they're asleep under the desk, and their card is out on the table.

I think the logic used to go "Don't comment if you don't have anything to add to the discussion". So people downvote comments that should have just been upvotes in the first place.

I thought he said the market segment doesn't matter, as long as you're on track to monopolize it.

How does not being able to maintain 100% privacy elsewhere matter in this discussion? The fact that there are thousands of abuses happening every minute doesn't justify abuse in any way.

Are you familiar with a type of hardware or software called firewall?

Once a fair number of hackers become dinosaurs, working from home might become the new norm.

Apologies. I'm not a native English speaker. Still having a problem imagining in what sense an SMS service might be "publicly available", and how public availability helps in proving control of a phone number :-$

I checked the article to see if I could do exactly that. Why couldn't the second factor be another web service? Password resets shouldn't be possible with the second factor alone anyway. What's the use-case for a publicly readable text service? I'm not familiar with any such services.

Even the Report feature in messenger doesn't cover that situation. Right now I'm able to report someone from a conversation for:

  - Sending suspicious links or attachments
  - Showing sexually explicit content
  - Insults or harassment
  - Suicidal behavior (??)
  - Not being interesting (???)

I just realized I can make another ~700 polite off-topic questions, before my karma runs out. That's actually very acceptable :-D. First time I see it as currency.

Thanks!! I was hoping someone might drop a tip like that, so I kept the notification around. Indeed.. After a long press, it reveals that it's owned by the Evernote[1] app. Apparently it comes preinstalled. The gear button results in a crash, but I was able to block notifications under the info icon. Probably best to take the time and purge all the bundled apps, before another one pops up.

Please excuse the loose relation to this specific aspect of their relationship, but there's something bothering me about Google & Evernote.

I recently set up a consumer grade LG Android smartphone. A few days later I got a push notification inviting me to install Evernote[1]. I wonder who gets paid for that: the telco, LG, or Google? How does one unsubscribe from such app adverts? By disabling Google Play Store notifications? I really didn't know push ads for apps are a thing. Besides the annoyance, it seems like an unfair advantage over all the other top apps.
