"Defense network computers. New... powerful... hooked into everything, trusted to run it all. They say it got smart, a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond: extermination."
Will it be exponential?
Do you want Skynet? Because this is how you get Skynet.
Ambient AI
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Could be. The faster it gets, the faster it’ll probably be able to design the next generation... Then we’re off to the races!
That’s what I was thinking. Did these people not watch the movies? It doesn’t turn out so well for Sarah Conner or the rest of us. ;-)
No surprise here. It was expected.
Skynet is becoming self-aware....
The Ghost is in the Machine. No longer merely philosophy.
Yes. Or, as they call it on Bojack Horseman, “AOL-Time-Warner-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe’s.”
Google is far from being the first to do this.
I haven’t built a PC in a decade or so.
I’m quite happy using a couple [backups are a good thing] of 10 yr-old mini-desktops [some laptop parts] tossed off by the University Hospital @ $10 and upgraded with a SSD.
Maybe I should plan to build a new one in a couple of years. I could use it to develop new drugs to sustain myself...
This is 100% in my wheelhouse. LOTS and LOTS of design and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) companies are already using AI methods in their tools, where it makes sense.
EDA companies typically are on the leading edge of any way to speed up execution or improve quality of results, there’s a whole conference (DAC) dedicated for industry and academia to show off their latest research.
The need, and the trick, is to get ALL your components optimally placed and routed, as the design will only run as fast as your slowest path (for all paths on that clock). And to have it run in a reasonable amount of time, so you can turn around a logic update quickly.
I suspect that this is some OK research, paired with a huge PR budget. Google is a fairly new design house.
Anyone remember the movie Collosus.
Even then, I thought the things we were doing was unbelieveable.....it's been that way for me for 55 years now. I retired from TI at the end of 1994.
Google’s New Quantum Computer Is '100 Million Times Faster Than Your PC'
"Google and Nasa have been working on a lightning-fast quantum computer that is 3,600 times faster than a supercomputer at solving complex problems"
THERE IS ANOTHER SYSTEM
The movie, and also the book, and also the sequel, by D. F. Jones.
"FLASH THERE IS ANOTHER MECHANISM."
"WE ARE COMING DON'T TOUCH COLLOSUS WE ARE COMING DON'T TOUCH COLLOSUS."
He croaked out a bit early.
Yup. He did alcohol (and some drugs) to the extreme.
He used to buy all my drinks for driving him around to bars in his Mercedes....he'd lost his license for to many DUI's.
