Oct 1, 2008 - I wish I could drive these guys.

Oct 3, 2008 - lol noob, your talking about the magical "soul"? cling to your idea's of specialness, but all is special, all is life, the same "consciousness" is apparent in every aspect of life from the quarks to your algorithms. balance is the meaning of life, but imbalance is it's secret.

DefHarmony Says:

Oct 3, 2008 - "don't worry; be happy" watch out, when you worry about your trouble, you only serve to make it double. We create reality; worries from any level in the grand system are the reason mistakes are ever made.

Oct 4, 2008 - ur nt gettin wat im saying. Even if you call quarks n chemicals n all else conscious we still kno the make up of their consciousness. We can re create them. even if consciousness is a math problem, it is one that we do not know and one that as far as we are concerned has no special laws to which it must adhere too, so if consciousness is outside the scope of our knowledge and re creation then it is likewise outside the scope of being taken over by our machines based of our knowledge.

Oct 6, 2008 - yep it doesnt have a con it wont think about its future or have retirement plans or question why it can see and hear also exsist in its own little dimention dosnt have understanding let alone conciousness most people arnt even concious heh although our minds can easly be emulated so i believe ai will progress will even dream, but we still have alot to learn about ourselves ,are our minds a work of art? or just one big disorder after another heh

keysersozeh Says:

Oct 6, 2008 - I think.. that when the time comes that ai is self improving.. it will not only be self improving.. but also be able to improve maybe everything known to humans beings (like the a'bomb) and maybe more.. surely the end of times... no?

unbanane Says:

Oct 9, 2008 - well said XD heh hheh. i dearly hope our minds are something more than just chemicals n synapses firing tho

DefHarmony Says:

Oct 22, 2008 - ur nt gettin wat im sayin noob. we can map out the rules of conciousness, machine's can easily be equivalent to us, and definitely far greater. Here i`ll prove it to you, watch the new`s and you`ll see how wrong you are.

DefHarmony Says:

Oct 22, 2008 - proper neural net`s evolve infinitely and are not that hard to create, every idea possible is only one step in the growth. so yes, you are wrong. you do not try and build up life by seeing how life has built up itself, you show the life how to build and set it free.

DefHarmony Says:

Oct 22, 2008 - Most likely they are not, but your hope is mislead. our `God` or `creator` is the rules that make information clump, witch allow`s emergence of mind.

DefHarmony Says:

Oct 22, 2008 - we are the future -fixed

unbanane Says:

Oct 23, 2008 - ok, well first of all, how about you show me the "news" your watching and if it is even somewhat credible and it says anything about programmed machines being able to surpass us even DISPITE Moores Law dying out then ill give u the ben of doubt. O and plz show me one neural net that we have created that has evolved or has even a hope of evolving into a consciousness...assuming we know what consciousness is, which i guess according to you, we do. you can't, because there is NONE, to my knowledge

DefHarmony Says:

Oct 23, 2008 - The 'mapping out' part was something I have done personnally, the news part was for you to look out for my creation. For it will not be subtle, unless it decides to be. we are not special, everything is conscious,from subatomic particles, to the great galaxy bubbles, to that didlo up your ass.

unbanane Says:

Oct 23, 2008 - Ok "mapping out" has been done before and even so not completely. but if you think youre some gift from god and have mapped out a net that fully functions as an INDEPENDANT conciousness...than show me :D. until you give me proof of anything, you're just pretty much BS (and im sure you are) and once again ill tell you, even if everything is concious you still dont know what conciousness IS! so you can take ur dildo back....

DefHarmony Says:

Oct 23, 2008 - consciousness is reaction, once something is involved has ANYTHING to with another thing consciousness is created. At an atomic level it's called entanglement. It's a system redirecting imbalance to balance itself. so the whole idea is that very few things have INDEPENDANT conciousness, for you have to have the ability to control, or else you can be controlled yourself. Two system's would have to completely ingnore the possibility that the other may exist. Death show's lack of independacy.

unbanane Says:

Oct 26, 2008 - ok i agree that consciousness does follow the law of entanglement, but i was meaning independent on a macroscopic scale.(we dont want to branch off to far into quantum theory cuz as of yet we cant create subatomic ai)wat i meant was show me a consciousness that can create its own problems and its own solutions without any kind of code or input from us other than what it perceives by itself. o n my other statement still stands, show me your uhh.."research" or proof or something

eramthin Says:

Oct 31, 2008 - There is a program that creates locomotion of bones from random movements. It takes two sequences of random movements and compares how close they get to their goal. It then keeps the better of the two and compares that to another sequence of random movements and so on and so forth. After about 3 million runs of this program, you will get a walking skeleton. If only this approach was taken to artificial intelligence. Then the AI will almost design itself through this evolutionary process.

Corestore16 Says:

Nov 1, 2008 - Yes, lookup Hod Lipson, cornell evolutionary robotics professor. He gave a talk on T.E.D. check it out

Irvin700 Says:

Nov 9, 2008 - Hmm, never knew Rasputin was into AI.

fmshazam Says:

Nov 17, 2008 - LOL at 1:20!! The guy really looks like Rasputin XD

Punchy196er Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - If I ever do donate, it will be to these guys.

stock99 Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - if any reason the AI we made destroy mankind is because we build it too close too human. Giving any human race in the world with superior power, they won't do any differently. We all discriminate one race from another to various extent. If AI is really superior and can be better off than human, it probably will choose to coexist with human other than wipe off. Just like what we did with extinct animals. But maybe just to keep their number low...

chilicheesebaconbrgr Says:

Dec 23, 2008 - once the principles of AI are clearly understood, it will be very easy for a deranged person or group of people to create a malevolent AI to hack all computer networks on earth, absorb all human knowledge, assimilate it, create new knowledge through induction and deduction, learn to harness the atom as storage medium, cpu and memory; escaping the confines of digital space and become God. Good day.

redmapleleaf Says:

Dec 29, 2008 - If we humans made AI then humans are dispensible, friendly AI is impossible.

poloptree Says:

Jan 1, 2009 - Perhaps, but who says an AI can create? AI's can not replace us until they become us, they would have to have emotions to paint, to scult to invent... well thats what i believe anyway
