This song intrigues me, the lyrics mirror some of the issues we have with our families and worldview.[The video is entertaining but really a distraction. Listen to the song]…Continue

"Computational engines are faster than I at arithmetic but I’m more imaginative than any such engine I’ve seen. Your seeing the clothes I wear and my presently blue hair will persuade you."

"My first encounter with the concept of machine consciousness and machines "going bad" was the excellent Westworld movie with Yul Brenner. Yes, I was quite young at the time. I never thought that the recent TV series of the same name would…"
Grinning Cat replied to jay H's discussion Are we more than fancy computational engines?
"For an AI whose intelligence is beyond ours the way ours is beyond an ant's, or even a chimpanzee's, social-engineering us to not cut off the power would be trivial. (It could even get us to encase the switch in a glob of epoxy, as an…"

"Technology has already turned human desire into a commodity. Biological beings might well be just a transitional phase in the continuing course of evolution. The Internet was at first considered a powerful and unstoppable tool for human liberation.…"

"This is why I advocate a knife-switch at the mains power feed. It's pretty difficult to hack a double pole, single throw switch!"
Vangelis replied to jay H's discussion Are we more than fancy computational engines?
"The most likely future scenario is that we as humans will spawn a technology evolutionary branch which will evolve at a far greater are than us. Our position as dominant species on this planet will be usurped by the new technology and the only thing…"
Loren Miller replied to jay H's discussion Are we more than fancy computational engines?
"I continue to be leery of any form of AI, myself. As reference, consider any dystopian fiction regarding ultra-intelligent computers, whether you wish to cite Colossus: The Forbin Project, the HAL 9000 or Skynet. Even the First Officer of the…"
Vangelis replied to jay H's discussion Are we more than fancy computational engines?
"This is true when considering "turing" machines, however, quantum computers are capable of solving problems that can't be solved by "turing" machines and are vastly superior in their computing power as well. With quantum…"
Ruth Anthony-Gardner replied to jay H's discussion Are we more than fancy computational engines?
"Couldn't read this all. Too long and complicated. The parts I read didn't even address the way in which quantum randomness crosses scale in complex systems.
Tom, I think "failure to be the masters of our own creations" is already…"
Tom B replied to jay H's discussion Are we more than fancy computational engines?
"Hey Jay,
Responding to your comment about "Real AI" not coming anytime soon, I think it is sneaking up on us fast and will have huge social and economic impacts long before we get to the Sci-Fi type AI, Singularity, etc.

- About Me:
- I'm an old coot, raised JW, became sceptical then outrightly disbelieving many years ago.
Politically (after years of wandering through philosophies-du-jour), I'm strongly pro-individual freedom, pro-market, to the discomfort of both my liberal and conservative friends.
Day job is computer administration for a large corporation. Off hours I like anything with machines and tools.

Nice looking dog you have! "Securing" a dog is a concern. Previous dogs have stayed outdoors ALL the time, never running away . But I live out in the country. Free roaming is my preference, but the H.S. doesn't like to hear that. I'm losing sleep trying to come up with an alternative.
