I'll give you 3-4 trillion dollars and you still won't be able to produce human level AI. We don't know how to make artificial neurons. Neural nets are nothing like brains. Next.
Let me just say it now: chess and Go are games with a fixed set of rules. Computers LOVE rules. Playing games are what they are best at. A computer will beat any human in any game. Playing games is NOT AI. And no, NN are NOTHING like how brains work. Even people who actually know NN will tell you the same.
In the real world, we can barely create usable, stable software. When is this "AI" stuff coming? In the real world my OS is riddled with literally thousands of bugs. Yet somehow, this miraculous "AI" software is going to come out and start replacing everyone.
"What we do have is machines that have invented their own languages"
No we don't
"They are evolving"
No they aren't. The digital computer is the same basic design as it was in the 1960s. You can always tell who actually understands technology and who just consumes it.
"Currently the only real limit of AI is computing power."
TOTAL BS. What does computing power have to do with AI? We have unlimited computing power with distributed systems. We still haven't created ANYTHING like an AI. And no, playing "Go" isn't AI.
Just stop. There is no such thing as "AI". Playing Go is NOT AI. Neither is Siri. Neural Nets are nothing like how real brains work. So just stop the AI hype.
There is no reason to think that "wisdom" or some other factor CAN be captured in A.I. We can barely even make software that runs reliably. Moores Law is dead. What makes you think there will be some magic leap that brings intelligence to computers?
What is the big deal about a computer winning Go? Go is a game with strict rules. Computers love that kind of stuff. That is the ONLY thing they are good at. It is no surprise that a computer will eventually win any game you come up with.
100% correct. These "anonymous" stories about Chromebooks are just shills for Google. Same with stories about Alexa. Slashdot needs to stop. Chromebooks are just spy devices.
What does SpaceX launching rockets into LEO have to do with the Space Shuttle? We have been launching satellites from rockets for 60 years now. The Space Shuttle was manned. I fail to see how launching satellites to LEO is a Miracle, even though landing the rockets is impressive. What the Space Shuttle did was very impressive as well.

"We can now do many, many tasks artificially which previously required human intelligence. That's what AI is."
Really? Wow. That is a pretty low bar. We used to just call them "computer programs".
I remember the Expert Systems hype. I studied it in University. I actually minored in AI. Not much has changed.
I'll give you 3-4 trillion dollars and you still won't be able to produce human level AI. We don't know how to make artificial neurons. Neural nets are nothing like brains. Next.
The software and networking capabilities are largely the same. Unix was invented in the 1970s. So was TCP/IP. Next.
You can build a distributed system of any size you want. You still won't produce "AI". Computing power is not the issue.

"We already have machines that think abstractly"
No we don't.
"What we do have is machines that have invented their own languages"
No we don't
"They are evolving"
No they aren't. The digital computer is the same basic design as it was in the 1960s. You can always tell who actually understands technology and who just consumes it.
Did you try using Host Files to help you? I know a guy who is an expert on the subject...
But, but, but a computer just beat a guy playing "Go" and my phone talks to me! You must be wrong! Derp!
"Currently the only real limit of AI is computing power."

Exactly. What is the sudden interest in "AI" now? Is it because VR failed and now the VC are looking for another hype cycle to cash in on?
Just stop. There is no such thing as "AI". Playing Go is NOT AI. Neither is Siri. Neural Nets are nothing like how real brains work. So just stop the AI hype.
Australia is buying 100 F-35 aircraft? That must have been a huge bribe.
I said nothing about exhaustive search. I said "computers love rules". Computers are good at games.
We don't know all the rules of the physical universe. Go is just a game. Computers are good at games.
What you are calling a "neural network" is nothing like brains neural network. NN are a joke from the 1960s.
" There is nothing unique to human carbon-based biology"
Citation needed. How do you know?
Humans are not AI. You have no point.
"It can an almost certainly will"
Citation needed. We have no evidence that AI is even possible. And no, Alexa is not AI.

They should reinvent themselves as an "AI" and "autonomous driving" company. The VC money will come rolling in!
