Bill Gates is worried about artificial intelligence too

Clearly, cause all you smug *******s seem to think it is going to happen, and that we're doomed.

 

Let's talk about how Planet of the Apes comes to pass. The singular event when they gain consciousness and are able to use all of our tools against us.

 

You are the Thomas Malthus of computing.

 

Maybe the non human primates that code the first conscious machine will go easy on me.

 

I think it is possible to happen, but can be avoided. If I interpret your posts correctly, you are certain it cannot so why worry.

 

You have gotten almost as much mileage out of this as billy Ray got out of achy breaky heart

 

If comments about your aversion to the vagina were actual mileage, I'd be a Prius.

Always run a play until the opponent stops it.

 

I put the likelihood up there with other primates gaining consciousness.

A thinking, learning, adapting AI is feasible, and not far off. One with the mind of Einstein and the aggression of Hitler and the subtlety of Stalin is not only exceedingly unlikely, but prohibitory.

 

It's just funny that this is all built on a story Card fabricated about 85% of for his own amusement

 

Isn't that the way it works?

 

Speaking of Card, where's he been? Doesn't seem like he's been on much lately.

 

For the record, I don't even believe the story. The reference just sticks. Like NYY's assless chaps on leather.

 

There is a creative element being attributed to AI that simply isn't true.

 

I'm still waiting on the cars from the Jetsons.

 

I'm also eagerly awaiting the instant restaurant quality pizza maker thingy from Back to the Future II. I truly love me some good pie.

 

How can you know it isn't true when we don't have AI?

 

Are you arguing for or against belief in a higher diety, here, or just musing?

 

Purely musing. What I'm seeing as the crux of this is some do not think we can artificially duplicate the workings of a single human brain, ever. I don't understand how one can claim that. Hell, we could just grow a human brain and use it as the platform, even if it were so special.

 

Millions of years of evolution has only produced one. I think it is ego that makes it believable that we can produce the same in under a century, not the other way around.
