Why MUST Earth be the only inhabited planet with intelligent life in the huge motherfucking universe we exist in? I don't understand your logic. Oh wait, you don't have any.
This comet is 33000000 km away and traveling at 160000km/h. How fast would the probe have to be to catch up? What is the fastest probe we can construct?
I can't. There aren't any natural sources of repeating electromagnetic waves in the Universe (except Aliens and pulsars and neutron stars that we know of). It must be the Aliens.
So some civilization created a probe that can last in interstellar space for tens of thousands of years? Wow. I would like to meet them. Do they make cars?
Really? Which advanced civilization do you know of that can create a probe that can last 10,000 years (and travel at 0.01%C) to get here? 0.01%C is 10793000 km/h. The fastest we have ever sent a probe is 4200km/h. What technology exists that would allow 0.01%C travel?
So some civilization created a probe that can last in interstellar space for thousands, or even millions of years? Fascinating. But you are right, because we have cameras now everything is possible. Plus my first computer had only 64k of memory, and my current one has 16 GB. So basically: it is aliens.
That's pretty mysterious. What about Stonehenge? When I visited there I got strange oscillations in my crystals. Someone should investigate on Youtube. I'll notify Thunderf00t.
How could it be an interstellar probe? The nearest star is over 4 light years away. Are they suggesting some civilization managed to build a probe that can travel at an appreciable percentage of the speed of light? Laws of physics suggests "no". You haven't "seen anything like it before" because we have barely "seen" anything.
If you wanted to help get affordable cars on the road why are you investing in Tesla? They are making the LEAST affordable electric cars out of all the manufacturers. Just face it, you are a Musk fanboy.
Maybe the system is smart enough the know the junk mortar and pestles they sell break regularly. Maybe it is smarter than I thought! I take it all back.
None of that is AI. You are just describing algorithms and computer programs. Everyone acts like this is new stuff. Computer vision and NLP have been around for decades. Processing data is not AI, unless you classify any program as AI. And based on the junk mail I get, and the poorly targeted ads, the AI systems you describe need a lot of work.
Exactly. If AI actually worked, wouldn't you use it for basic stuff in your multi-billion dollar business? Improving the suggestions on Amazon would be very useful and profitable. That is my entire point to AI nutters: if there was AI, why are AI "researchers" using it to play Chess and Go? Why is Siri, Cortana, Alexa so dumb? Could it be that real applications of the technology aren't so easy?
All I know is that when I login to Amazon, it suggests things to me THAT I HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT. How stupid is that? Yeah, I just bought a soldering iron, why would I want to buy another of the exact model? I can understand if it started to suggest things like solder, or an Arduino, or a book on electronics, but it invariably suggests what I already bought. But yeah, AI is right around the corner.

Wow.
I agree. Or it could be a comet.

Nah. More technology. That solves everything. Plus it gives "researchers" something to do while they watch the rainforests get cut down for palm oil.
Clear out the forests and build some solar arrays and transmitters. It is the only way to save the rainforests.
That is just statistical processing. It isn't intelligent at all.

"non-profit foundation formed by the academics with backing from hedge fund Pantera Capital Management LP"
Right. Non-profit.
Or you can learn.
Aww sorry snowflake. I must have hurt your feelings at some point. Sorry about that!
...full of incorrect information and constantly asking for money.

Classic. Because THAT guy is good at predicting the future.
I bought one.
What marketing person came up with that? Royole FlexPai? Terrible.
