Oh! It´s a cue. Thanks Simon.

So it is as I told - I mean....In my hands it would be a torture instrument !!

that is very creepy there

...

Creepy - right! Just the fact that it shut completely down on specific questions says all!

It´s time to look for an cave deep deep in the woods and far away from the so called "civilization"

ALL chocolate.

ALL chocolate.

David Canterbury swears on old tools.





He is the best if it goes to survival and prepping in my opinion.

OMG.... all chocolate? Just saw it after my reply... Hey, no problems with rust I guess

But anyway, look at the Canterbury videos! Many to learn there!

Just give me a glass of Milk

Tom,

Those voice recognition programs are a form of artificial intelligence.

Here's a bit of an eye opener courtesy of Elon Musk who actually owns a company involved in artificial intelligence.
If he's worried about the dangers of AI me thinks he knows what he's talking about...lol.

Looks like a person to have around,
if it is a zombie attack, then I will go with this guy. He is quiet and camera shy.

I've been screaming this same warning for YEARS and nobody pays any attention. If they won't listen to me, why does he think they'll listen to him?!?!?

Seriously though, I've been heavily against AI for many years now. AI, in and of itself, is not too much of a problem. But when you pair it with communication, transportation, strength (such as hydraulics), then things have the capacity to get real scary real fast! The only missing link in that scenario is that we have not "yet" developed a virtually limitless power supply to power this new life form.

In many instances, engineering students and real-world engineers aren't actually learning how to create the needed technology of the future. Instead, they're learning how to program computers to figure it out instead. To them, it makes more sense because the computer can do it much faster and with much less cost. ...So how's that gonna work? We build them and, before they even have the capacity to go rogue, we already hand over to them the keys to our engineering future.

Yup, I sleep real well at night!



ADDED: Look at it this way -- once AI is a full-scale reality and paired with all the other parts, we will then have, in effect, a new god to rule over mankind. ...I wonder if this new god will allow mankind to continue to exist?? After all, we sure to waste a lot of resources that it could put to much better use!

kcm,

Well I'm not much of a techie type but considering AI is basically computers teaching themselves to learn by trial and error. And they work 24/7 unlike humans so you're effectively creating a runaway freight train without any breaking system. Sorry for the anology but I spent 35 years working in Railway marketing and turn loose a 500,000 lbs diesel locomotive with 100 or so loaded railcars and no means of stopping it is a pretty decent anology to my way of thinking....lol.

Ain't technology great folks.

The whole thing is scary when one tries to think of the possibilities and realizes they can't fathom the extent of them. Hollywood movies and TV shows like Fast and The Furious using "Gods Eye " and "Person of Interest" give us a peek at what AI is capable of. Sure, these are movies and tv shows, but so was Star Trek and James Bond movies, ( just to name a few ), that showed us decades ago of a glimpse of the future. Companies implanting chips in employees Back in the 50's, my dad worked for Bell Labs R&D. The things they were doing then was so science fiction, but now is mainstream.

Funny you guys are talking about the AI thing... I am currently watching a movie called "moon".

Which is future based AI dealio.

 

[ARC]

Its not that good so far.

I have picked ten "makes no sense" so far and counting.

I started that movie playing for the wife a couple weeks back. ...Of course, I then came in here to the PC.

She said the same thing. Not really worth watching. So I asked her, why didn't she call for me to get her a different movie? Her answer? Cause she hadn't seen this one yet!

 

[Simon1]

Wow, it said the had a budget of $ 5 million dollars, just about what my wife budgets a year for boots

 

[ARC]

I just fell asleep and woke up... errggg... um mine is watching... I just asked her if she wants to go to bed but she just wants to see the end... what happens...she said its been boring".

 

[ARC]

Over... ending sucked...

My girl says it was not worth staying up till end.

Gnight peeps.
