Just wanted to ask an AI type question. If yoy could preserve state of mind after death, could you make it still develop opinions?
Mine change every day, so just copying my brain would only give a snapshot.
I guess I'm really asking, what is an opinion, and can a machine have one?
Maybe it's just a random result based on incomplete ata available, to try and answer my own question.
As a user of the T-Mobile unlimited broadband dongle,
I fill out pages of forms, searching out all relevant details,
get to the submit your application page,
Hijack! 'You have now exceeded your mobile broadband fair use policy' blabla-bla
Has it gone thru, or not, go back = page expired etc.
Once over for the month you get this message easily twice daily, the amount of times when completing forms & purchases I get this I'm sure there's a comedian in t-mobile central in charge.
And, don't know if anyone noticed this, but for PAYG dongle used to be 1GB download fair use, now is 1GB data fair use.
" "changing banks is easy. So is opening a new account."
No it's not. My bank refused to let me open a new account until I'd either spent money buying a passport, or spent money getting a driving license. "
Mine also wouldn't let me change my address without licence(don't have) / passport (was out of date).
The bank were however happy to register me for internet and telephone banking, & send details to old address, thereby giving control of my account to the strangers now living there. To help give them this idea the bank continued to send my statements to my old address until I finally acquired a passport (was too skint to renew at time so took a while)...
