By 2045 'The Top Species Will No Longer Be Humans,' and That Could Be a Problem
schwit1 (797399) writes Louis Del Monte estimates that machine intelligence will exceed the world's combined human intelligence by 2045. ... "By the end of this century most of the human race will have become cyborgs. The allure will be immortality. Machines will make breakthroughs in medical technology, most of the human race will have more leisure time, and we'll think we've never had it better. The concern I'm raising is that the machines will view us as an unpredictable and dangerous species." Machines will become self-conscious and have the capabilities to protect themselves. They "might view us the same way we view harmful insects." Humans are a species that "is unstable, creates wars, has weapons to wipe out the world twice over, and makes computer viruses." Hardly an appealing roommate."
TFA says
most of the human race will have more leisure time
Or they will struggle to survive by working in jobs the intelligent machine do not want to do
See, they legalize cannabis, and this is what you get... :-)

I'm pretty sure it was the gay marriage that did this.
I see the glass as full with a FoS of 2.
I blame amnesty - if we only built a proper fence, we'd keep out the illegal singularity!

Lol you cutie. You think Siri is AI. Wow you are so naive and cute for thinking that.
Not multi threads, that's for sure. Of course computers will take over the world. Programmers leave all those unused cores lying around doing nothing and that's trouble. You gotta keep those registers full, and i mean all the time. Either that or just feed them some chip-porn. That'll keep em busy.

When a computer can come with such linguistic inventiveness, we may truly say that AI has arrived.
And I don't think any collection of programmers is going to surpass it in the next century.
Absolutely. They'll be developing the software for it via Agile, and thus changing the requirements/feature set every fucking two weeks. The machine will come off the factory floor needing years of psychoanalysis.
It's all like, interconnected, man.
I smoked Mexican pot once
and now I'm gay.

And how long did evolution take to make an ant? How long from there to a human?
In case anyone is wondering, it took about 2.6 billion years for ants to evolve, and another 0.1 billion years for humans to evolve. So anyone comparing self driving cars to ants is making the prediction that Strong AI will take another 3 years or so to become reality.
