Discuss with Marvin Minsky

"As humanity we are quite stupid", Say Marvin Minsky. "And we will not be wise. Look at what Aristotle or what Shakespeare have written from hundreds of years – and the books that are printed today."

If you think of yourself and your own works, you are trying to give him right. Goods not Marvin Minsky – the living proof of it that he is wrong.

"My big fear is", he says, "That the majority of people simply decreed, as it is, be good. If we stay like this, we can not bother us the way into the posthumous entity."

The pseudo-optimistic objection, the average person is disgountable and should therefore long for changing, he wipes with a gesture aside. "Mischievously. But used to doing what he does. The majority does not want to change and her life."

The extropians, on the other hand, are the future, and therefore he feels well in their society.

"The only other group I know next to you, which is as profound with the future, are the science fiction writers. But those does not matter to keep right in the end. The extropians, on the other hand, is not about the game with the future, but for truth and reality."

Minsky is impatient, with himself and with the rest of humanity. He has lost more Ratsel and invented more machines than most of his professors’ colleagues. The patents have made him wealthy. But he becomes old, and the problem that has procured him like no other, the artificial intelligence is unostered than ever. He needed time, but that is missing.

At the end of the podium discussion, Eric Drexler has appeared, holding a arm chain in his hand. "I did not like any circumstances", he said, "For 1000 years in the future, to explain to explain to all possible people, why I have allowed my brilliant teacher simply died and has always disappeared from the earth." And has Marvin Minsky, who could only hide his tranes behind puffedness, surprises a certificate and the chain with the well-known emergency instructions: "In the event of death, see the back side for Biotesis protocol. Administering A -1484. Please call and ask for further instructions. 5000 U Heperin Spraying and CPR make, while body is cooled to ten degrees Celsius. pH at 7.Hold. No autopsy! No embalming!"

"Technology gives us more freedom", says Marvin Minsky now. "We have to hug her, instead of her too fear."

Whether this is not a very American thought?

"And a very Korean thought", he says turning. "Not to forget a very Japanese thought, one …"

"But not a particularly European thought", I interrupt him.

"Ha!" says Marvin Minsky, as if he had already thought that I got him. "I have no feel for Europe, I just do not understand these people and their litants." He jumps up and attacks after everything he was scattered on the table before on the table. "Europe is history, done", he calls, again on the way to the airport. "You can believe that. The reorganization of the continent and the euro will not otherwise."

Online Advertising: Programmatic Advertising suppurs the market

Revenues with programmatic advertising in Europe increased by 23 percent last year to a total of 23 billion euros. This is characterized by the market analysis of the European industry organization Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB Europe). In doing so, the automated business involves in ever new areas: Also, AUBENAGE and video advertising is increasingly being aligned automatically on target groups. Even cookie refusers become their own target group.

Auction markets grow

According to the report of the IAB Europe, a total of 77 percent of display advertising and more than 50 percent of the video advertising on programmatic advertising channels were played in 2019. The data-driven advertising has written an impressive success story: So in 2013, in 2013, just 20 percent of the digital advertising market were programmatically, which occurred at that time by just under 2.5 billion euros.

But today, however, less than a third of the OpenRTB advertising marketplaces were traded today, which had first defined the programmatic advertising handling. These can offer numerous advertisers in automated real-time auctions on individual advertising places concrete users. The basis for Dafur are extensive interest profiles that are kept by advertising networks and Adtech service providers. Recently, revenues increased by 21 percent to 6.7 billion euros in 2019.

Classic advertising disappears

Meanwhile, the automatic promotional tools are used for other advertising books. Advertising players offer personalized advertising even without real-time auctions. So a mail order handler can play a retargeting advertisement on more and more websites to provide a product that the customer had previously considered, but did not bought. Other aspects such as the weather or the environment of advertising can play a role for programmatic bookings. Result: The classic advertising book, where advertisers book certain advertising places in advance, plays an ever smaller role. Most recently, these did just take 23 percent of the market.

The reason is that the planning of advertising campaigns with programmatic means can function as a cast. In particular, rough advertisers have always recorded their clientele in recent years and can place their advertising materials in parallel with numerous media without the detour via agencies. According to a separate survey of the IAB Europe, advertisers, in particular, advertisers the efficiency of programmatic campaigns and prefer to can not play their campaigns due to estimates and amptions.

Cookie denial as a new target group

With automated advertising books, costs can be saved. Publishers and side operators, on the other hand, are pleased that they can sell a large part of their advertising places on these ways. But there are also counter-arguments: so 40 percent of the advertisers criticize that they are not satisfied with the quality of the data, while 48 percent of publishers complain about the high cost of advertising intermediate handlers and AdTech service providers. Together, both groups is that they feel the business with advertising to intransparent. The proportion of programmatic advertising is still increasing.

Also the increasing proportion of users who are no longer reliable via cookies and other techniques, at least do not harm the programmatic business. On the contrary: Meanwhile, like Xandr or Google, have identified the cookie refusers as an exciting new target group, which, on the other hand, have high income and consumerity to achieve a particularly cheaper advertising places.

But the industry is not convinced of these offers and is trying to look at the data by methods like "Realtime Targeting" to fill. In this case, from superflat factors such as geolocalization or the requested website, an instant interest profile is created, with which the unknown users are sorted into the classic target group categories.

Comment: Just before the anniversary of the connection of the 11. September, Donald Trump has shut down the peacekeeping with the Taliban Via Twitter. This step was fatal

Trump’s step only makes it clear: the US prasident is not about peace, but self-containing. This has to end.

After nine talks with the political delegation of the Taliban in the Golfemirat Qatar, many Afghanistan observers agreed: the peace decoration is in front of the door, and he will be appreciated soon. But shortly thereafter, it became clear how unpredictable the US politics has become thanks to Donald Trump.

Via Twitter, the US prassident reported to speak shortly before the absorbing of the peace detail and blew any sponsored with the Afghan uptairs. The reason he called a Taliban attack in Kabul, where a US soldier and "eleven other people", How Trump wrote, were killed.

That said reason served as a pretext was clear. After all, it is – unfortunately – nothing new that the peace negotiations continued to get warred and people are told – from all sides. Anyone who says in these days, to attention to the violence of the extremists should not forget that according to UN in the first half of 2019 more civilians at Hinduchusch by US militar, Afghan army and CIA militia were killed. Also, the number of air raids and drone operations that have always hit civilians since has always made immensely increased.

Donald Trump wanted to negotiate with the Taliban, but at the same time he likes to escalate the violence in the country. The victims of this violence could not lose the American prassides little until not at all. It is therefore more than just incredible for that he is uphill.

In the US, the fact was criticized that Trump wanted to absorb the Peace Decal with the Taliban in Camp David – and also three days before the 18th. Anniversary of the terrorist attack of the 11. September. For wide circles of the US public, this would have been a scandal. After all, contrary to all known facts – the Taliban to which today a participation is accused of the abandonment.

Fact is definitely that not a single Afghan at the striking of the 11. September has been involved. The majority of the tatters were Saudis, but the most important US-bonded in the Middle East remained perfectly spared in any way. Instead, the absolutistical consumer acted as one of the control centers of the war at HinduKusch.

But TRUMP had some other things in line with Afghanistan. He wanted to end the longest war, which the US militar ever wanted to finish and stylize himself as a peacemaker, who deserves a Nobel Prize,. The scene of this goods Naturally Camp David, where once Menachem Begin and Anwar As-Sadat met with Jimmy Carter.

Trump thought that his plan had been perfect. He was just about himself. His soldiers interested him as little as all those Afghans, to which he – without zogern – only a few months after his power took "Mother of all bombs" defrost.

For Afghanistan everything is, which contributes to a continuing or escalation of the conflict, bad. While the Taliban diplomats were negotiated in Qatar, their hardliners are now promoted to the front and will never trust Washington again. During the rally Trump, who played even a few weeks before the assembled press with the imagination, ten millions of Afghans declined, more violence.

Trumps Twitter Tirade ended overnight with a question: "How long do the Taliban still want to fight?" The answer is simple: long than the US militar. However, the permanent state of war is finished only if it is really about peace – and not self-containing.
