Can you provide some proof that we will NEVER have AI? Because the way I see it, and I have been doing real AI for 15 years, it's going to be everywhere, and I'm not talking about machine learning. This is the next logical step that is part of the information revolution.
I expect this will go the form of the Jetsons or The Fifth Element, or Starwars coruscant scenes, with highways in the sky where the Drones, UAV flying vehicles, jets and flying cars will travel. 2 way highways with entrances and exits and virtual signs, barraiers, routes you see on HUDs and AR displays and glasses.
The FCC will regulate that part.
This is suppose to be commercial, not hobby people flying over peoples houses or looking into windows.
Really? wow it's was only a little less then 2 years? Well its out of the 1 year warranty either way. I guess 2 years is the norm for product life times now.
When it cracked I just used Siri on it so I didn't have to use the touch, worked ok to make phone calls and open apps. Not so good on typing.
Yes I have an iPhone 6+ that I bought full out 3 years ago and about 3 months ago I started getting that grey line. It randomly appears and you can't touch or swipe. It's a grey little line that jitters on the top. If you bend the phone in a little you can get it to work temporary. I think it was caused by the phone being bent by being in the back pocket. Now it just randomly does it and pushes buttons for me, opens apps, texts.
I tried to bring it in to Apple, but the tech to was too busy and had to make an appointment, but couldn't so left.. Then the next day I broke the glass, so I know they would claim that was it, so ended up getting a new phone iPhone 6S+. I got a new one from ATT, but of course I had to pay for it all again...I still have the old phone and it still does it. And I am quite sure it's a defect in the hardware when it bends out of alignment over time. Quite frustrating, was planning on using the phone for 5 years.
The world population is around 7.4 Billion people most of it in china and India. But in not too many years, say 100 years, the population will be 11 billion, 100 years ago it was about 1.8 billion. The problem is not now, but it will definitely be coming. Imagine having 3 times as many people next to you. twice as many cars and longer lines everywhere as people wait to get what they need.
The world is really not enough room, that is why there is a big push to get to Mars, not fast enough I'm afraid.
While I love ST and have seen all episodes of all the series and movies, I was quite disappointed on this last one.
It showed nothing about any of the Values that ST proposes, or anything about how we should all try to get along and resolve our issues. Something that shows the positive side of humans.
It was a bad movies with a bad story with many plot holes and very drab settings, A movie about Revenge? really? Why waste all this time and effort and money into making something like that? While I love Simon Pegg, why is he writing the script and why did no one stop this and make it into something good. Roddenberry would not have approved this. J.J. Abrams as produced should have stopped this.
I am quite sure there is better Fan fiction out there than this and so, even I could have written something better.
Yes they are off into where no one wants it to go.
I have built machines in the past and replaced parts in current ones and while I agree that building your own, looking up parts and trying figure out what works and doesn't work can be fun, if your into building hot rods. The parts are all available and there are places that tell you what you can use, you still have to do a lot of research.
I think the main point of the article was that the way these parts are all assembled has not progressed much, since the old days (even apple II+ era) of how things go together. There are way too many cables, small connectors, screws and trying to fit things into boxes is a bit of a pain, even replacing hard drives you have to move stuff around and trying to get access to the plugs is even worse when they are all buried and hard to get to. Dell does a great job of compacting them, but they are not always accessible.
Yes it would be nicer if there were some easier plug and play ways and common cables that work for all, how many times have we all tried to put in a USB stick and figure out if it's the wrong way up, even when we know its the right way and it still doesn't go in.
When Steve Jobs built the Next machine, his goal was to make it simple with only 1 or 2 cables and you can see that in the macs now, but PC's have never been able to reduce the number of parts or cables or small screws. I think it's time to make them more simple it would only help the PC sales and get more people interested in learning more about them and building them.
Your not old, your of a generation, me included, where something special happened that most people didn't even know about or understand. I spent a summer working at Target during High School so I could make enough money to buy an Apple ][+. You were probably like me where you saw this thing, this technology, these games, and the world changed and you just had to have one. I had dabbled in electronics when I was a younger kid, and would stand in the sears store in awe waiting for my turn in the sea of kids playing the demo Atari machine in color, before the Apple came out.
You were the first generation that had the first home technology, you probably felt what Woz felt when he was building these things and how it would change the world forever and it was something amazing. Technology still is and there are amazing things going now now, but it's a lot more complex.
I would spend nights staying up into the wee hours playing games or programming, and getting games from going to pirate parties where we swapped disks. I still have all of that with me.
I now do AI and games and the Apple II+ helped me on this path. It was a time that will not happen again. The start of the Information Age.
This is great. If you watch the movie in the context of trying to understand how the Neural Network uses the training data and corpus of movies. You see the kinds of stuff you would see in a larger sci-fi like movie, i.e. were everyone is always asking what is going on? or dialog explaining something. It also tends to be some common things you would see in how humans write screenplays, or at least how the Network classified them from the corpus.
The Recurrent Neural Network uses LSTM (Long Term Short Memory) that helps it make original dialog, structure of a screenplay and stage directions. Ross Goodwin,they guy who built the AI had been doing this for a year and the way the corpus was annotated was interesting. . It still lacks story structure, so maybe it could have been feed in some more data on film theory. Also the films as part of the corpus where not all the same. i.e. some dramatic, like Aliens, some action like Starship Troopers, some Thought provoking like The Matrix and some comedy like Airplane 2 and Buckaroo Banzi. But it's a cool first attempt.
Hopefully we will replace the cops and lawyers by AI systems soon, not under the control of the government, that will perform real justice. I'm more worried about the AI's getting controlled by others then them taking over.
Come join our QUANTUM Tunnel Network. We have the best Quantum Tunneling algorithms and no limits. You can use all the Q-Bits you like. We have hubs in all Major cities. If you want a direct line to your home all you need to do is get one of our Q-Boxes (Cat's not included). This will give you the superposition you need today. Warning, some Q-bits might go faster than light under certain conditions, not responsible for lost bits.
All this for $14.99 a month, inquire about our lifetime plans also.
Wow, So happy that this thread is here.
Finally something nice to read and ponder. I think about this stuff all the time, but it's nice to know there is more to talk about than the normal boring day to day stuff. Glad to read everyone's ideas on this.
I wonder if this scenario will happen? Don't like your companies page, then you will have to be let go..
You work at McDonald's and don't like the McDonald's page? then time to move on..
There is a fine line between supporting your product and being forced to support it.
This is meant for those million government contractors that have a new PC a year in their hardware budget. The price will fall after they all get theirs..
I get 6MPS top at work, its usually 4, since they don't want you to go to the top, so they set some numbers to cap it to not reach the 6, unless you want to go to a higher tier, but ti turns out the lines in the building don't support anything higher than 10 MPS, It all depends on how far away you are from a sub-station.
The phone companies aren't going to upgrade the lines. In fact Verizion wasn't doing anything for years because they were selling it all to Frontier and they were not going to invest in infrastructure or upgrades. The building won't upgrade the lines either. And this is LA.
So all this Mega Billions in money going where? Maybe we should start with the people that use it.
But I believe that the companies should be paying for their own Infrastructure upgrades. Isn't that what we pay the bills to the company for?

Kinda like all the planets you find in No Man's Sky. Radioactive and barren.

Sounds like we need a new "The Interview" movie sequel... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt27...
They didn't have to come up with a whole study to figure out of slash doters are lazy, they could have just asked...

So not only do they get Pokemon first, they will also get the first North Korea ICBM first?

If its an arbitrary direction, then is it not conceivable that that direction could loop back onto itself?
So was the new computer she got running Windows 10 then?
