Microsoft is eyeing artificial intelligence capabilities to give its Visual Studio IDE a greater grasp of the available code for a project. Now the AI can ask for codez pls

This is really good news, because the ms-of-latter-years has proven itself to be so good at doing everything right.
I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Google.ai will serve as a center of Google’s AI efforts — including research, tools and applied AI. "Pichai alluded to AutoML and a future where neural nets can create new neural nets on their own." This is how it begins

Digital "miners" run specially configured computers to solve the problems and generate currency, whose value ultimate fluctuates according to market demand. Math pays. Who'da thunk? (Seems kind of esoteric to me...)
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.
While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

It's actually a straight forward but brute force computation called a Hashcash but usually you allocate all the computer resources to find a solution rather than implementing it as some low level background process, since, for bitcoin at least, I believe it requires some specialized hardware / GPU's. I'm surprised embedding a background miner worked at all.

My snark wasn't clear enough - sorry. The fact that solving a math problem leads to money in that way seems esoteric, and stupid, to me. But if people want to pay...
Edit - interesting article, by the way! Thanks for the link.

I looked into this a while back and found that the amount you pay in energy costs are more than what you would actually receive in bitcoin.
There is no such thing as "something for nothing".
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

So you get paid to waste electricity and contribute to global warming.

Correct, so it is something that you run on your machine at work, not your machine at home.

If you're paying for hardware and power then yes you either need the latest and greatest ASIC miner or to be mining some me-too coin that doesn't have a dedicated ASIC yet. But if you're stealing resources it doesn't matter how inefficient they are since the cost to you is zero. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Google doesn’t lose trademark even if it is a generic term for searching the Web. Guess he should have googled the legal precedents

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Almost. More like to the googol degree. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Even worse than a generic name to search the net;
"What browser are you using?"
"Google"

The only google products I use are android, maps, and translate, but "to google" is a new verb, and has nothing to do with the noun.
The guy was a w@nker, though. What's unfortunate is that treating this w@nker justly will come up as precedent in other cases, where the respondents aren't w@nkers.
