In other words: a machine with the ability to not only learn more and correct responsively, as machines do now, but a machine with the ability to imagine how it might be better, and evolving to suit that vision. It's a slight distinction, but an important one.
Even so, considering that consciousness has no set definition, it's hard to cosign any particular one.
It's also impossible to ignore the fact that humans really, really like to anthropomorphize just about anything we can, from toasters to pets to vegetables and more. Such a tendency is exceedingly present in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence, where those building machines constantly project human features, both physical and intellectual, onto the devices that they create.
And to that end, it's always worth asking whether those machines actually possess the qualities that researchers like Lipson imagine they one day will, or whether scientists, as a result of their own very human urges, are projecting humanity — or nature, or consciousness, or whatever you want to call it — onto very much not conscious machines, reflecting back what they hope to see, rather than what is.

I rank that right up there with gain of function virus research.
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords . . .
When does skynet become active again?
That’s exactly what it is. They already have the ability to program drones to seek you out in a building (facial recognition software) and kill you. They have ALL kinds of things in store for us when society crumbles.
Novel, and it’s going to also precede the presence of this trait in Democrats (in general) bless their hearts.
If you read the 4th Industrial Revolution/WEF section you’ll see one goal is the ability to upload your consciousness into a machine and live forever. Like TV show ‘upload’ except hopefully your head don’t blow off 🤪
Soon, it seems.
What fools.
The billionaires funding this just cannot see themselves being replaced by the robots. I see this as being an outworking of Satan’s hatred of humanity.
HaHaHaHa 🤣
The could build narcissists, but they cannot replicate feminine consciousness and the attributes of compassion, empathy or Love.
What morons. We as a species just can’t stop ourselves from sowing our own destructions. We just can’t help ourselves……..
Excellent recommendation!
In other words man wants to become God. One of God’s angels, Lucifer, wanted to do that too, and look where it got him.
How about starting by building conscious democrats.
I thought that was a great, though much underappreciated movie. I know very few people who saw it.
Very creepy. But fascinating.

Machines faithfully execute their programming and they never tire or develop a guilty conscience. I have a pretty good idea as to what is coming.
