Researchers shut down AI that invented its own language

This is plenty scary to me. What do others think about this or how do you interpret it? Are we humans just being too paranoid? Or is it better to just not go down the path of creating advanced AI (for any reason)?

He means that Pandora's box has been opened unleashing all the evil upon the world with only hope remaining according to the story.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2017 5:28 pmWhat do you mean by "too late"? Researchers seem to be broaching some lines in the field of AI but there are still lines that we can refuse to cross, weaponizing autonomous AI, for example.

OK. Fair enough.

At least Artificial Intelligence is intelligent. Surely that alone would make it a better choice as a domineering 'superpower' than the moronic and self-servingly malevolent one we have at the moment.

Maybe that's the scariest part. Artificial intelligence could maybe exert control more efficiently and completely over us. It could be much more omnipresent, thorough and able to act faster and it might have no compassion whatsoever.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2017 6:58 pm At least Artificial Intelligence is intelligent.

Burning the library at Alexandria may have been an attempt caused by cold feet to close the box.

Some say it's foolish to think evolution has stopped with us. They say our time is done and our silicone children are ready to step up, so we fleshy types ought to just step down and aside. They say we should just eat drano (after gettin' A.I. up and runnin') and be done with it.
Some say it's foolish to think our silicone children will supplant us. They say we fleshy types and them mechanoids will explore the universe together in a kumbaya golden age orgasm. They say we'll 'merge' with the mechanoids and ascend or transcend or some such thing.
Some say A.I. will never come to be, cannot come to be, so everybody should relax.
Me: I say 'Hell no! I won't go!' Kill the Metal Overlords while they're still in the womb.

Re: Researchers shut down AI that invented its own language
Many years ago, I watched a scientist being interviewed on Public Broadcasting System (PBS) TV. He said that Homo sapiens would eventually become extinct like dinosaurs, that life was proceeding in the direction of solid state electronics. I envisioned this happening throughout the expanding universe, and eventually, when the universe contracted, these life forms would have a convention, communicating with each other with the omniscience of God. It would be the Solid Sate Convention, a religion for the space age.

Not all dinosaurs became extinct. They evolved into birds.bobevenson wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2017 10:03 pm Many years ago, I watched a scientist being interviewed on Public Broadcasting System (PBS) TV.

All life forms evolved from a common ancestor.
