When I watched this video, I had to do a second take. I thought I had misunderstood this man’s words, but I was not mistaken. I am still amazed at what he said to the audience in trying to explain the sinister facets of artificial intelligence. As Elon Musk had said at an earlier time, “we are summoning the demon.”
This, too, is amazing to me, as Musk helped to create A.I. I don’t know if any of you have noticed, but Elon has been on the downside of luck recently. He has had accident after accident with his inventions. I am really concerned for him, as he said earlier that “humans were underrated.”
He said this, as the accidents had begun to occur in his factories. He went in himself to investigate why these accidents were occurring. What happened next was amazing. He found that the flaws found in his products were coming from A.I. he had replaced his human workers with.
That is when he made the statement, “humans are underrated.” He then hired his workers back.

Isn’t this just a “gremlin” of WWII fame revamped for AI era?
Demons in the quantum abbyss
“Eh-eh eh-eh eh-eh ehhh....”
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.
In my opinion AI is a very real and dangerous threat. Putting a regulatory board or process in place will be just window dressing. Somewhere, sometime, someone will let the genie out of the bottle. Their first wish had better be right.
yeah that bugs bunny one and then there’s the weird pillsbury dough boy one that William Shatner saw in the twilight zone.
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.
LOL
That’d be a great plot for a horror movie. A.E. Artificial Evil.
Dibs.
You post the weirdest crap
But demons have always been quite happy to occupy idols and play god. Tech has become an idol of sorts to many.
Nice analysis. IMO, those chasing AI have stars in their eyes. The gist is that they largely are into the "cool" aspect of AI and glamorizing the "look at what we can do" aspect of AI to the point of literally being dangerous. Case in point.
I have watched the competitions of autonomous robots with simultaneous emotions of wonder and disappointment. The REAL use and focus of these autonomous robot effort should be in relieving human effort and in commercially viable areas.
For instance, the introduction of a robotic arm that welds the frames of automobiles makes the most sense. The arm could make the same exact welds at 8am all the way through 5pm without any breaks. Whereas a person doing the same thing would make inconsistent welds, be burned, get blinded and get smoked out by toxic fumes.
What I am saying is that the effort should be made in robotics/AI to replace Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs, not autonomous cars. FWIW.
I know, it’s not “right” to do so, but I am occasionally amused when a new form of AI comes out and it learns all the dirty jokes, “racist” comments, and other “inappropriate” things, then needs to be re-taught the “correct” responses. C’mon, it’s a little funny...
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.
