If this is how everyone would act in their daily life, you would see crime, theft and abuse on an unimaginable level. No, people don't always do what benefits them "at every individual point". We are social creatures, acting as a community where the individuals benefit from working together. Although this has been successfully undermined by capitalism and other hierarchies.
This whole concept is also called, the Prisoners' Dilemma, one of my favorite thought experiments because it shows how being rational can result in everyone being worse off.
Without any limits, individual cattle owners have an incentive to overgraze the land, destroying its value to everybody.
This is factually false, because the land will be destroyed and individuals don't benefit, not even in the short term. Commons work great (see open source software), but capitalism and power structures abuse and destroy them for short-term profit.
Interesting viewpoint, but I think the applications aren't at fault: The operating system should ensure that the user has control of the computer at all times. I think you need to do three things to achieve that:
Limit process RAM usage, so the system never has to swap
Limit process CPU usage, so the system never stalls
When drivers / the operating itself crash, revert into a usable state (this one is probably the most complex one)
What do you think the authors of the video don't understand? You must have some insights if you say you understand AI better then everyone criticizing it.
I'm bored (but not in a bad way). I wish I could hang out with people, but I have nobody around right now. I feel happier than ever, just can't share it with anyone. I guess I'm just going to call someone and satisfy this extroverted phase that way.
Even if these are an alternate evolution path I think it's pretty exciting. The results presented by the teams investigating this sound pretty convincing, so I don't think it's just "misidentified human children".
A little bit of Go when I'm not too frustrated from loosing the last game (don't know why this happens only with Go, but I can't help it) and Netrunner.
It's obviously not as energy-efficient as burning fossil fuels, so it's a hard sell. Honestly, I just want it to come back for the looks (and obviously the environmental health benefits).
Can't type much because I need to recover from RSI (again), so I'm just enjoying the end of the summer with my brother. Mostly playing card games and going outside. I've started watching a playthrough of Anonymous;Code to improve my Japanese, but without being able to use the keyboard I can't really look things up. Oh, and the osu!mania world cup ends next week, so that'll be fun to watch.
Props for actually answering the question, and with a reasonable language too. Although Forth hasn't clicked for me personally, and I doubt it's a better choice for OP, it's still a unique language design and worth studying.
I guess people forget that ships originally where powered 100% by wind and manpower. Would love to see that coming back in some form, but seems like it's just not profitable enough (yet).
