  1. Re:When? on When Will AI Surpass Human Intelligence? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well botnets don't have to worry about individual crashes, and chat bots are getting there. On the beer front, well I'm extremely inventive and I still end up with the occasional disaster so any robot that can do that consistently is superhuman in my book. I'm not sure I understand why we still shake hands, something about not drawing a sword? So it seems we're halfway towards an AI. But will we get there?

    What was that Dijkstra quote, 'Asking if a computer can think is like asking if a submarine can swim.' I guess the answer is sort-of but not really.

    And you say that based on scientific evidence of long term exposure or is it more of a gut instinct thing?

    So you are saying that any scientific studies that go against your belief that EMF radiation is benign are funded by litigious hypochondriacs and it is a pure coincidence that a majority of industry funded studies back up the harmless assertion.

    So why do 25% of the industry funded studies show the same thing as the litigious hypochondriacs? Are the cellular industries wanting to sue themselves?

    'opponents of radiation' Yeah, like living biological systems.

    I like your idea, but I think the substance should be multiple substances that are natural, simple and abundant like N2, O2, water, salt etc. This way they could only exist in artificial controlled environments and self destruct in natural settings.

    Yeah, because private investigators have never found someone camping in the bush or in a campervan, especially when they visit their clients headquarters daily in ridiculous outfits.

    That's why they ship it to Guam, Peurto Rico or another territory first and slap on the stickers there.

    Welcome to capitalism, baby. You can say the same about any large corporate entity on the planet. It's just in China the government applies pressure on the corporations rather than the corporations pressuring the government.

    RTFA. They simulated martian conditions, and also exposed them to the raw vaccuum. Even TFS mentions the large temperature variations they were exposed to. Your points are all sound and reason for concern but it does seem life can overcome those obstacles. We may not end up with a human habitable world but we would be closer.

    Scrap the system and implement a draft. All adult citizens must serve a year in the administration before they reach 25. No campaigns or contributions to worry about. No career politicians. No revolving doors. All citizens at some point actually being a working part of the machinery of society. That's what I would do if I was emperor.

    I still don't see where anyone in Europe is so scared of impoverished third world countries that they feel they must have extremely broad export restrictions.

    You know who else abuses kids? Teachers, doctors and internet users. I guess by your logic none of these people should come in contact with kids, ever, including you. Oh and why is paying compensation to victims of crime a bad thing?

    I'm an athiest who reads a Catholic priests blog, listens to their podcast and their nationally syndicated talk show. He's been doing these for years. He even played around in Second Life for a while. Amazingly, he hasn't imploded yet due to spinning out of control.

    Sure, the Vatican has an internal library they don't let just anyone into, and they respect the privacy of their parishoners who come to confession. Well good for them. You are imagining a vast conspiracy of secrecy where there is none.
