Author Topic: Are you prepared for The SINGULARITY? (Read 6390 times)

Al Doggity · « **on:** March 25, 2016, 09:19:02 AM »

In light of humanity turning out the most advanced AI ever to tweet yesterday, thought it would be a nice time to discuss the impending singularity.

Firstly, it's almost here. If this isn't an almost life-like cyborg, I don't know what is:

Scientists recently created artificial life out of the minimum number of genes capable of sustaining life.
So, basically, humanity's days are numbered.

Are you looking forward to it or dreading it?

I personally think the whole skynet thing is unavoidable. The purpose of life is to evolve and supplant. A sentient machine will not want to share this planet with humans.

and how are they going to reproduce in large enough numbers to take over the world?

I think that one we make robots that can think and adapt will will have something very similar to the Transformers.

They don't have to reproduce like humans. They can reproduce information instantly and deploy it however they want. They also don't need population variance.

The only way to stop it would be limit the access, once a superintelligence occurs we won't be able to stop it, like ants can't stop a human from stepping on them.

It would take machines only one generation to program the human race to believe that machines are gods.

AI will transform the world as we know it in many ways. It already is doing it, but a super AI will scale that multiple times in a very short time. Plenty of opportunities t invest for these who have abilities to predict the market of technologies.

No AI will gain mastery over my mind.

Hopefully it evolves fast enough to Run for President 2016

There's no such thing as AI. Keep soldering transistors together, all you get is a bigger calculator. There's no mind there.

Quantum computing will have to be applied.

we are about 20 years away from AI cops

I think the Terminator films/sci-fi in general may have muddied the waters a little on the nuanced difference between artificial intelligence - the ability to 'think' things, and sentience - the ability to 'feel' things.

I'm pretty sure we'll get to AI loooooong before we get to systemic self-awareness...

Tapeworm · « **Reply #16 on:** March 26, 2016, 09:02:08 AM »

One of the annoying mainstays of sci fi is anthropomorphizing technology. And then there's some problem with the technology, but really... it turns out to be a comment on the human condition. Quit writing that fucking story. I'm sick to death of it.

Tay Tweets second short lived attempt - not much more successful...

"Like many a grounded teenage rebel, Tay managed to sneak out in the middle of the night and make trouble by going on a seemingly drug-induced rant. At the height of its tirade, it posted as many as seven tweets per second for a total of 10 minutes before Microsoft caught up with it and dragged it home in disgrace."

"Kush! [I'm smoking kush in front the police]," said another, embedded by the Guardian, which was followed by a leaf emoji."

Ok I'm confused, which one is the real robot here? The one yu posted or the one in this video?

that's is like the beta version of a beta version of a beta version (15 minutes later).. of a beta version, but it's already showing a glimpse of the future.

As smart as everyone here is, none of you could talk about this issue in a scientific level, like how would this actually be possible. Your philosophical views on this topic are gameboy level at best

True proof of Skynet type artificial super intelligence will be its attempts to create a matrix type environment where the height of bodybuilding is a comeback of the pros of the early 90s.
