I have a small hobby project that scrapes concerts on various venues websites.
Many of the websites don't write out which the year the concert takes place, so in python I will:
try the current year and see if the date has already passed, and in that case I try the next year.
Of course feb 29th is an issue in this case, so some of my scrapers modules crashed.
I am confused about the example with the 'Greeting' function breaking the test. Did the author see this as an issue with testing?
If the functionality is changed, the tests will have to be changed to reflect that. One feature of tests is that they are are documentation for the expected functionality of code, so naturally it needs to be updated when functionality changes. It is a feature in my opinion.
Theoretically the machine could perform social engineering to fool a sysadmin or developer to let it out, and then start cloning itself like a worm. Good luck getting rid of it from the world if that happens. An isolated network might also not be a huge challenge for a general AI, depending on what level of security and what precautions are taken to avoid it.
I don't know when you were born, but my relationship to the Internet started probably around the time I was 7 or 8. My school had computers with Internet, there were two computers at home. My parents could have limited my Internet use but they couldn't have stopped me. There is not a guard standing by every computer stopping me from being Online if I am under 18 years of age.
I still don't think Omegle is at fault, but we have to assume kids are on the Internet.
