AI Going Nowhere?
jhigh writes "Marvin Minsky, co-founder of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Labratories is displeased with the progress in the development of autonomous intelligent machines. I found this quote more than a little amusing: '"The worst fad has been these stupid little robots," said Minsky. "Graduate students are wasting 3 years of their lives soldering and repairing robots, instead of making them smart. It's really shocking."'"
Please tell me,
does it yawn a lot when youre around? This could be seen as a interesting sign of how boring youre life possibly is.
A new tool for psychologist "the AIBO scale".
Real programmers don't document.
It was hard to write so it should be hard to understand.
Can someone explain to me how a remote controlled device is considered a "robot" ??
I guess if I go and buy a remote controlled car and add a spinning blade, then it is no longer a remote controlled car, but it is somehow transformed into a B2R "Blade 2000 Robot" !!!
I find it sickening to watch most artificial intelligence researchers steal the fruits of other people's labor. But it goes further than that; their reasoning is circular and therefore invalid. In other words, they always begin an argument with its conclusion (e.g., that particularism and game theory are identical concepts) and therefore -- not surprisingly -- they always arrives at that very conclusion.
Most artificial intelligence researchers' ebullitions are complete drivel. But what, you may ask, does any of that have to do with the theme of this post, viz., that spiteful coders and students, motivated by either Stalinism or a desire to lead a revisionism-prone, abhorrent life, are eager to help it exploit the feelings of charity and guilt that many people have over the plight of the homeless?
It is bootless to speculate on the matter, but it should be noted that it's really not bloody-mindedness that compels me to make this world a kinder, gentler place. It's my sense of responsibility to you, the reader.
Whenever there's an argument about most artificial intelligence researchers' devotion to principles and to the evolution of digital brain systems, all one has to do is point out that we must speak neither of the past nor of the far future but rather focus on the here and now, specifically on the daunting matter of most artificial intelligence researchers' backwards double standards. That should settle the argument pretty quickly.
Lastly, most artificial intelligence researchers have no soul.
Robots solder and repair humans.
