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.

(What a testosterone deficient lewdzer!)
The Tower of Babel isn’t a tower this time.
That’s so sad. Is that from a Woody Allen movie?
Ah, R Daneel Olivah? Or the T-800 series?
Unless we consider that Biden is a Roomba.
I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.
My post has a better beat and you can dance to it...
h/t Dick Clark
Sorry for off topic but since were talking movies, just wondered if anyone has watched Babylon Berlin? Just finished season 3, and aside from the smut and debauchery, just kinda wondered how close to reality the political aspect of the movie was...
Anyone see it??
Very creepy stuff. No real man would have something like that in his house.
no, it’s not
We could box one up, after putting some plastique in the robots nether regions with a touch/sniff fuse and send it to Brandon.(Sarc.)
CORNPOP!
Such arrogance.
What could possibly go wrong?
That is a really bad example, just from a basic physics standpoint.
Just imagine what kind of power source would be required inside that.
Battery technology is getting better BECAUSE OF research like this and electric cars, but it will never get to the stage where id does not need recharging.
And don’t try to imagine where the charging port would go, you filthy animals.
Maybe it will be an implant and live parasitically off a persons metabolism?
I guess these RATs don’t want this in their “sanctuary cities”.
El Paso, Mexico ...er Texas. They ran all these illegals to areas where Biden would not be videoed.
