SKYNET has taken control - your post - well, it posted twice!!!
Please remove one of the copies. Thanks
It’s already here.
Oh give me a break, here we are 30 years after Zork, and the A.I. engines for language in top flight video games is hardly any better. (Serious gamers, correct me if I am wrong).
We have NO idea how the brain does what it does. The more we know, the more we know what we don’t know.
Agreed. As a developer I have followed the field of AI since the early 80’s and we are no where close and certainly not 5 years off from having “self aware” software. There will have to be some radical departure in hardware and software to make any progress.
Until a computer can experience the world the way we do it can never really become aware or learn on its own. Things like pleasure, sadness, worry, love, intuition all come from being human and simply can’t be programmed.
Elon Musk? They guy who thinks a car he builds never belongs to you. A man bought a tesla at an insurance auction after it was seriously damaged. Tesla refuses to release the car’s electronics so that it can be started unless the work is done by their authorized dealers.
He’s another controlist.
SkyNet is many decades off at the least, if not several hundred years. Anyone who understands software knows this. People should stop being arrogant and speaking authoritatively about things they know they are not knowledgeable about.
AI is THE technology of the future and always will be. Elon Musk has a thing about this, but I think he should stick to electric cars and rockets.
Relax, computers will never achieve sentience and self-determination. Inanimate matter will never progress by itself from a lower state of organization to a higher state, no matter whether it’s a collection of transistors or a puddle of muck.
