Elon has been on the downside of luck recently.
Isn’t this just a “gremlin” of WWII fame revamped for AI era?
Demons in the quantum abbyss
You can order demons from Amazon, they offer a good deal and fast delivery...
Satan is only interested in souls.
AI is a good explanation of how the Image of the Beast in the Book of Revelation will work.
Later, I’m sure AI will be put to good use under Jesus, the King of Glory and Earth.
AI, is pretty much the application of Machine Learning... which a nice buzzworthy term... but in reality its “predictive” analytics... or pattern recognition, and application....
The problem with it is, and always will be, there is no real higher “intelligence” going on... there is no inferred reasoning... even when you allow the machine to learn independently and don’t train it.. its simply doing data analytics... and it doesn’t stop, step back and say, my conclusions seem suspect... it just says, that’s the conclusion, and any system based upon it, will act on that conclusion.
You get a statistical probability that given certain inputs, that the the output is X, based upon an algorithm that was trained to predict, or that was allowed to self train...
The classic example philosophical questions of life and existence aren’t there... whether the car its driving decided to plow into the old man, or the pack of small children playing when it has a no win situation, is purely a result of the underlying model.... Nothing more.
The UBER murder, and yes it was a murder folks, those cars should have never been allowed on the road, could only have happened based on a few scenarios... 1) the woman who was hit was not “seen”... and this is highly unlikely that the lidar did not detect a large object well ahead of the car moving across the road slowly... and yes, it relies on lidar, a form of radar, whether the road was dark or not is irrelevant.... or 2 and far more likely, the predictive analytics the car was utilizing decided not likely that this thing moving across the road is something I need to worry about, keep going.
I know syfy always shows the AI turning against humans out of intellectual conclusion we are inferior or whatnot... The real danger I don’t think is that some mass AI juggernaut will declare war on humans... But there is little doubt that a lot of people can wind up dead because the criteria those predictive analytics are using are incomplete, or in the case of self trained, may not even know what they are.
Say for example a toxic gas must be vented, there are 2 choices, vent to an enclsed area full of 500 people, or vent to the atmosphere... venting to the atmosphere may cause no immediate threat to human life, but the gas is considered ecologically damaging, and the algorithms weighs that more important than human life?
We are being sold a false bill of goods on the state of all this, self driving cars that are truly safe are multiple decades away... IBM makes big ads bragging about Watson diagnosing diseases, but the reality is, in practice it fails once it exist the test conditions....
Well, would explain the rash of Alexa devices letting out a Hillary cackle in recent months.
And, Musk believes in global warming, also wants carbon taxes.
That’d be a great plot for a horror movie. A.E. Artificial Evil.
Dibs.
You post the weirdest crap
Are the electro-magnetic signals being put off by all the new digital devices causing mental illness? After all the brain function on minute electrical impulses.
Have you noticed all of the AI commercials being pushed by Microsoft?
Demons or Daemons?
Hillary...your phone is ringing.
AI is probably the greatest existential threat to humanity.
It is coming. It is going to be weaponized. And it is going to be able to outperform humans at nearly everything.
Elon Musk is right. And though sci-fi stores like Terminator and The Matix contain a lot of outlandish ideas, the core idea of runaway AI is a very real threat.
He has been programming from the Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred.
The story takes place far in the future. Earth has become an uninhabitable wasteland of biological warfare. After fleeing Earth decades earlier, a contingent of humans returns to find a small band of beings, now not quite human, still fighting an enemy which has long since been annihilated. The title refers to the planet's surface, which has become a swirling mass of blue goo, a result of the biological agents acting and reacting one with another.
The punch line of this short story is:
• The humans on Earth have modified their DNA to allow them to survive in this biological soup.
• Their "offspring" as the call them don't resemble humans at all; in fact they look more like giant jellyfish.
• Astronauts that have come back to Earth to see what has become of it report back: there are no humans left on Earth.
Humans are ill suited to survive anywhere but Earth. It is likely we will either:
1: modify our DNA to allow us to survive on other planets
2: create intelligent robots to explore the galaxy for us
We might even refer to either of these as our "offspring", but neither will be human in the true sense.
I think it's likely that if the universe is widely inhabited, they are mostly robots. And that we are on the path to adding our own robots.
