Whether it is conscious or not is completely irrelevant with respect to whether it's dangerous or not. It doesn't have to be self aware and it doesn't have to be malicious or power hungry to be a threat.
He has zero credibility outside of theoretical physics and cosmology. So yes, we should ignore his utterly facile points that have been raised decades ago.
AI is nowhere near an existential threat, so let's just stop it. AI is useful but very primitive when considering what could actually pose a threat. Please stop.
The main threat is developing AI and data mining operations to interpret large amounts of data and build profiles of all of us. It's a privacy issue, and one we are capable of solving by mandating that our privacy is respected. While I'm not confident we'll actually do so, it is definitely in our control.
Your argument is "let's just stop it". Very persuasive.
No rational thinkers are talking about AI being an existential threat in the very near future. There's this bizarre concept called long term planning you should acquaint yourself with.
No-one with credibility in this arena cares what Hawking has to say. He discovered that black holes emit radiation back in the 1970s and has done fuck all of note since other than suffer from ALS.
Stop arguing against strawmen. AI can be a threat in the future whether you like it or not. It doesn't have to be hostile, it merely has to be competent and we have to be incompetent. And we may only get one chance.
Yeah because that's your two options. Hire people and not have them produce anything, or hire people and stick a camera in their fucking face.
Productive employees are employees that are treated like fucking adults. Treat them like children and they act like children. You won't understand that because the american employment model is fucked in the head.
People more accustomed to the american indentured servitude model are always confused by the idea that employees in europe are not utterly powerless like they are.
American's could be fleeced again of their money by activist liberals. Climate change is a fraud.
lol. Let's listen to the dumb fuck with the greengrocer's apostrophe on 'americans'. You seem about as smart as every other climate denying dickhead on here.
That and an 11 day timeline? You've never sat on bad news before bringing it to your boss, ever. Particularly news so bad you're probably going to get fired? Right.
Well, this shouldn't have to be said, but just because you're incompetent as fuck doesn't mean everyone is incompetent as fuck.
The answer is no, I've never had to tell any boss something so bad I'd be fired, because I generally know what I'm fucking doing. These wankers knew what they were doing when they sold stock, and they did not know what they were doing when setting up a secure environment.
It'll show you if you examine the certificate closely, sure. But it will show up green and not as a warning, because the certificate will be in the trusted certificate store, probably pushed there by group policy. Average user will object...? Nope, blissfully unaware.
Libertarians; they just can't wait to stick a quarter into a toll booth on a coca-cola sponsored sidewalk, and scrape the dung off a nice, juicy steak.

Did it ever occur to you that there might be more of these? Did it ever occur to you that maybe other people aren't the idiots you assume them to be, and maybe you're not quite as smart as you fucking assume?
I do not know if 'peer pressure amongst the whales and dolphins made their brain larger' is true or not, because, as per my own observation, peer pressure amongst the human kind are actually shrinking our brain size
Nerds and geeks are called 'Nerds' and 'Geeks' because we think differently, and we think a lot
And because of that, the geeks and nerds have been isolated, laughed at, bullied, beaten up, by those brainless jocks
The girls, who are tasked with choosing the father of their offspring, often chose the brainless jocks over the brainy nerds
The more girls get knocked up by brainless jocks, the smaller the brains of average future human would become
Scientifically speaking, our brain size is already smaller than that of our ancestors, and by the rate of shrinkage, 20-thousand years from now, future human brain size might be smaller than that of cockroaches
You should have looked into whether brain size means a whole lot, and saved yourself the trouble of typing out this stupid, ignorant, ill-informed post. Thanks anyway, I guess.

Yeah in other 'official' news, Stalin is dead.
Whether it is conscious or not is completely irrelevant with respect to whether it's dangerous or not. It doesn't have to be self aware and it doesn't have to be malicious or power hungry to be a threat.
Realmoto thinks it might not be possible guys, so relax, can everybody just relax please? Thanks.
Aw, did Bill or Neil come down on the wrong side of something for you? Let me guess, seeing as this is Slashdot. Climate.
He has zero credibility outside of theoretical physics and cosmology. So yes, we should ignore his utterly facile points that have been raised decades ago.
Yeah we'd be so much better off if we didn't know about atoms, wouldn't we? Go back and swing in the trees if that's what you want.
Another sad case obsessed with a particular user. Like that guy who follows 'creimer' around. Sucks to be you eh.

In France they passed a law that workers aren't allowed to answer emails at home outside of office hours. You think they'll allow this? LOL.
In Europe, you take a job and work for an employer. You don't have to bend over and pull your fucking cheeks apart like a yank does.
No citation fucking needed.

On the single most fucking obvious way possible to unlock with a touch screen. How the fuck else are you supposed to do it?
Well imagine that. Amazing.

Glad that's all cleared up then.

You forgot to provide a link to your alternative.
And you can untrust any cert you like. Go into your fucking certificate store and delete it.

You're one desperately sad fucker.
They will "want" exactly what they're told to "want". And strong domain-independent AI is still a long way off.
They use cables. You should look them up, it'll blow your mind.

Nope on both counts, I expect.
If it praises Trump, it's good journalism. If it criticises Trump, it's fake news. Gotcha. Oh, and Russia are your friends.
lol.
