LISTEN to the man.
He virtually lives like a Robot inside his frail shell.
THAT - AND the fact that he is smarter that you, me and 10 more like us combined.
I guess Ahh-nold was right. Judgment Day is inevitable.
Paging John and Sarah Connor....
It’s too late. Dennis Kucinich. I shall say no more.
Cyberdyne and Cylons are not pleased....
Existential risk? What is existential risk you ask?
If a hugh asteroid hits us, a real planet killer, will it cause much of a ripple in our galaxy and do anything to change its direction, coincidentally also currently on a collision with the andromeda galaxy and beyond?
Will mankind go out like a flame on a candle in the winds of time or sprout wings and boogie the immediate vicinity as gracefully as possible.. or is the universe just doing a little random recycling? *-?
Why do people think Stephen Hawking is so smart?
I believe he thinks heaven is false.
We could use some artificial intelligence to supplant illogical, irrational, inefficient systems in place in our society, most notably in our justice system & government. Business has been doing this for decades, very successfully.
Judges are a good example. Judges are supposed to be impartial & knowledgeable of the law. Yet, we all know of judges who are both biased & ignorant of the law. It is commonplace. Even the Supreme Court is OBVIOUSLY divided by partisan bias. As a human trait, impartiality is a rarity, & subject to circumstances & those involved.
Computer systems CAN be developed that are experts at the law, & are completely impartial, much as a computer chess game is incapable of making an illegal move, yet can beat any opponent but itself.
Certainly, computer systems can be corrupted. But software bias is much easier to detect & remove that a bad human judge.
How about defending humanity from here-and-now threats like statism, pseudo-science and fanatical murderous cults?
