If we want to play definitions Artificial Intelligence is just that, sort of like a Sugar substitute including using it for cooking etc.. It works the exact same way as sugar on the human sensory systems exactly like Sugar, but it isn't.
In a similar way to Sugar, Machine Intelligence would stimulate the nerve centers of the brain like real sugar, however, operates totally differently, and on an entirely different level than either Sugar, or its artificial equivalent.
Same thing with machine intelligence the approach is vastly different.
Tons of PhD's who know lots of stuff it would seem as they were at the top of their classes to memorize and take exams.
Sadly when you employ a bunch of them to write an operating system for a tough real world problem, they fail.
But, seem to do just fine as long as they are at a University.
I think the best example I can think of is Microsoft's veritable army of PhD's it employed to kill POSIX Unix architecture on the worlds exchanges. The idea was to deploy Windows on all of the exchanges and replace the UNIX systems they were using.
It not only failed, but cost the exchange in London and New York about 100 times the cost of the project.
Just for those of you who do now know the difference:
AI is a field of research to develop a silicone brain that mimics the way the human brain works. Most of the excitement for that field went out the window in the early 1990's with all of the Japanese robotic mania.
After the field failed to produce, people had a rethink about intelligence.
Now, we have the new field of Machine Intelligence, which doesn't try to mimic the human brain, but tries to take advantage of what machines are good at: Computational Accuracy, Storage, and lightening fast speed.
So when you are discussing Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Intelligence realize the two fields are very much seperate.
As for the Turing test, I don't think it passed, because the experiment hasn't been repeated by enough researchers to form an opinion of wether or not the consensus is it did pass, and we can stop doing Turing tests.
Monetary exclusions of any kind will not clean up the environment.
What will clean up the environment is to decentralize power production, and authority.
That will do it quite nicely then we can see some decent tech emerge in the free markets to deal with battery technology, homes producing their own power for example.
Until that happens, the only reason why you would want money for cleaning up the environment is because you plan on using it to fulfill a lifestyle that probably destroys the environment.
Maybe jet around the world, own like several mansions...and have a fetish for 3 headed dogs from hell.
Yeah no money for science, but you can sure give money to the cronies in the Banks, freebies for illegals and everyone EXCEPT it would appear if you are a American citizen or a Veteran.
is currently not even a finished aircraft, with multiple problems with its airframe durability, pilot survivability and software and avionics that haven't been fully tested yet.
Just the maintance costs to maintain more than 30 of these aircraft in wartime could exceed the total tax revenue for the united states at 2 trillion.
Fabrication typically happens in a lab that just needs more money to get the results previously published.So sometimes, fabricated of the expected results will happen so that more money can be obtained.
Then of course it is a race against time to get the results you got the money for...sometimes that doesn't work out.
But, I have seen that happen many times with science research. Most of the time it works out, but sometimes it doesn't.
One of the items I discuss, besides our impending burial by an avalanche called WWIII and the technology misused to fight it, is our misuse of technology in general, which i will call rampant consumerism.
Nothing Apple produces makes a better life for anyone.
Neither the factory workers who make the product, or the countires where the resources seem to always attract a terrorist to make industrial goods/central bank...and therefore require a invasion a drone invasion of some kind.
Including all of the lawlessness drone shootings require.
I disagree with Cook's statement this is some sort of better life.
It is not.
It continues NOT to be in fact for just about everyone here reading this.
Mmm...now...lemme see....going to have to make a rather large shopping list to buy some of those absolute nessecities....maybe even start a state owned business...I mean, a private business.(Woops, nothing to see here...move along....move along.)
It really doesn't matter if a person has a piece of metal in their hands.
Most of the mass murders speak EPIC VOLUMES about the civilization we have created and its values we teach to each other at Universities (We are all just animals, no better than the house cat or any of Darwins creatures for example).
The ludicrous civlization of control, butchery and savagery. Look at the EPIC amounts of crime going on by our own government who can now sign executive orders and eliminate anybody Mr. PODUS demands.
After all, if PODUS can do it, I Elliot can do it to.
You know we haven't been living very long with Nuclear Weapons, or weapons of mass destruction. Given time and if we continue this path of humanism (i.e. Kill God make our own rules because after all we are just animals) destruction won't be far along the line.
We live in a time of massive change and the powers that be are doing everything they can to divert your attention from their criminal mischief stealing your labor, your liberty and your life through the doctrine of GLOBALISM and its enabler AGENDA 21.
If you want to know why Elliot has the manifesto of the typical government official, look no further next time to your next election to understand why seemingly sane people, murder and kill using their hands, pieces of metal or clubs.
Our society is sick, and our leaders are leading us to destruction.
I do not know why I am shocked when I read this stuff when idiots like this who have access to incredible amounts of historical literature on the internet, post stuff like "Can someone please point me to the Right?"
The situation as far as I am concerned is hopeless without mass revolt.
There is just no way you are going to get rid of all the massive amounts of corruption from fixed banks, fixed markets, deliberate acts of espionage by this criminal cabal know as the two party system in the USA.
It has to go, it MUST go or there isn't going to be anything left.
As I have pointed out in many times before, and people continue to know nothing about the fact that NSA now decides most of the network grades for core routing etc, you do not get upgrades period.
Core routers in AT&T's internal network upgrades are mostly latteral (copper replaced with same speed fiber), for example.
Until the NSA is removed from internal infrastructure you are not going to get MEANINGFUL upgrades.
DEFINITION OF MEANGINGFUL:
1) Conversion of all upstream points to fiber. (There is a reason you know why asymetric networks suck it.) Most of the taps for NSA gear work on where the information is GOING TO, not where it is from, therefore the slower speeds for easier data collection on pretty old gear (circa 2009).
2) Faster switches for the upstream points.
3) Complete software stack upgrades to IPv6. If we do that, we can get SIGNIFICANT PERFORMANCE boosts on the internet.
None of this is going to happen though because collecting all of that data requires expensive investment in secret hardware and software, and such pieces of technology don't like change.
I wouldn't be surprised to find if this all isn't documented by companies such as AT&T who is an example I made recently and got modded to like -1 crazy person soon because internet performance in the USA compared to example the far east, is GLARINGLY bad.
USA=21st century CABLE MODEM speed, which is just as bad as 20th Century MODEM speed.
They have absolutely destroyed the potential of something that could have been a great liberator for educating people, commerce and making life generally better for all peoples.
They are already starting the plans for a 4th generation Thorium based reactor to be built in China, which is covered in the Christian Science Monitor.
I got a -1 for flamebait, with people telling me I was full of crap...just a few days ago when I explained how the NSA is standing in the way of critical needed upgrades in infrastructure because there software and hardware do not work with 10GigE or IPv6 among other things.
This scam, of climate whatever change, that is being run by the monied elite and their academic lap dogs, is so transparent, one really wonders why they even bother trying anymore.
The bankers or the criminal cabal which runs the country now and controls our military, want their money.
They want it NOW.
Do not be lured into a false sense of deferrment security.
3) BE prepared to get another eucation:
Which would be, you went to school, and soon you will forget everything you learned. Why? Because you went to school to prove you are obedient, and follow orders, not because you are good at anything really or even that you learned a skill.
So your degree is a signal, or a mark of obediance. This mark, which many corporations value obediance above all else, shows you do not ask questions outside your training and know just enough to push the buttons.
But, you probably already know that by now....and if you do not, then you are the perfect job candidate, so it may not be long before you are hired. If you can just hold out in the parents basement for a couple of years, you might get a job.
If you do not, you probably won't pass the job interview even if you get one.
4) Finally...the good part.
MIllions of H1B1 Visa people are poring into the country right now from other parts of the world in anticipation of amnesty, free food, health care by the US government. This program started under Bush, is already completed by Obama, so now it is just a simple matter of an executive order.
If you do not get a job before this happens, and you owe ANY student loan debt, I would change my name, and move out of the country otherwise they will hunt you relentlessly for the money, which given the job prospects, you quite likely will be paying by the time you are 82 years of age.
For those of you who did not go to college and started working at 16, are debt free and started your own business like I did, and then moved it offshore in the I.T. field.
I do lots of different work on different AT&T networks.
1) Equipment is ancient. Most of the AT&T network is FAST Ethernet, some switches I have worked on are from 2001. Upgrade times for these pieces of gear, incluidng one ancient 2948G distribution switch for AT&T's Uverse concentrator point?
Never.
2) IPv6. Should be upgraded already. Really. My own house network, my lab all of it runs IPv6. Throughput gains on IPv6 vs IPv4 is impressive.
Really, like 20% performance upgrade running the exact same protocols on a IPv6 stack.
When will IPv6 come to the USA?
Exactly when the upgrade approval process clears the NSA and they have the budget and the time, to rewrite all of thier spy crap to work with IPv6.
Otherwise providers are FORBIDDEN to upgrade any portion of their networks to IPv6 without NSA direct approval.
Sounds kinda crappy eh
Sorta sucks I know, but you didn't think consolidation of internet service in the United States into one company is being driven by market forces do you?
No, it is being driven by the NSA who doesn't want to work with a myriad of companies to do their dirty work.
Much easier to conduct financial and industrial espionage on companies to fund your latest terrorist group off the books if you can just control ONE company.
3) Don't expect management to get any better either. With all of the lawlessness with regards to Anti Trust acts just about being violated everyday, the law has been tossed out the window along with customer service, any possible equipment upgrades.
Just not going to happen with 1 or two companies around who secretly meet anyway and rigg everything from the stock offerings, to workers salaries...etc.
If you want that sort of reliability, you are free to use Windows.
As for caring about users, care means the users listen to the engineers and basically do what they are told, in exchange for that obediance, you get a more secure and more bug free experience whlle working.
Excuse me, but isn't caring for users suppose to be that?
In contrast with Microsoft who unilaterally holds you for ransom and discontinues it's products and ORDERS YOU to empty your wallet.

Technology should be employed to address the human condition of Food, Education, Shelter and Medical treatment.
Instead, we use technology to build weapons, shiny trinkets to enforce a consumerist lifestyle which is destructive.
We are branching out into using technology now to control and subjugate most of humanity so that a new dark age can take hold.
If it isn't stopped there won't be any intelligent life on this planet.
Perhaps we will find out why after half a century of looking for E.T., nobody answers is because Intelligent life tends to snuff itself out.
Culture.
It really doesn't matter if a person has a piece of metal in their hands.

Possibly the worst news since the TimeWarner merger crapola.
You think your DirectTV PVR can't download your movies now?
Wait till they start using the CRUD that is AT&T's network.
Absolutely unacceptable.
The reason why they are doing the acquisition is because Uverse sucks to HIGH HEAVEN. It is even worse than DirectTV, if you can imagine that.
