Interesting subject, but your link is bad.

 

 

AI could be the best and worst thing in human history.

[Panthro]

I had an interview with a company who was bringing AI to customer service. They were hiring BD's to grow their biz fasy so they could get their tech acquired by a bigger company. I turned them down...I hate that I did from a nerdy tech standpoint but it was still the right move.

When ASI happens, will that mean we'll have holodecks with everything we want?...and by everything I mean incredibly beautiful robo whores...

 

But, seriously....

 

[Squirrel]

So I can finally get my Cherry2000?

[Guest]

I know its the most efficient and easiest way to do it, but something about instructing a computer to make itself better just scares the crap out of me.

Finally found the article the OP linked... not sure why that link doesn't work as it is correct...

 

Great read.

Whodafuk is Al?

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Whodafuk is Al?

 

He's The Google.  The Google is scary man.  Really scary.  Gonna start rationing TP and Yoghurt and stuff like that and simply deliver it to your house once a week via a drone.

 

Get your guns and head to the hills.

Thats it, we're going OFF the grid!

[Mr. Scot]

Saw a great quote on a business sign...

 

:Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity."

[Doc Holiday]

I for one, would like to welcome our future robot overlords!

 

seriously though ASI would either be the single greatest moment in Human history or the single worse. I'm curious if I will live long enough to see the day, and see which way it goes.

[Mr. Scot]

I can't be enslaved by robots.

I'm already enslaved by a parrot
