I always laugh when I get a 50% fb and 50% ur post.
BTW she was the fourth space tourist.
I personally see that as a more fitting title than 'first female space tourist'. But I guess that makes me sexist in the eyes of people who believe positive discrimination is ok.
But, still, I got a laugh from the moderation of parent. Stupid fucking liberal types don't even know which way the wind blows and are too scared to make a statement in case their step on their own political toes. Twats.
Ian Pearson is definitely a proponent of strong AI -- along with, he estimates, 30%-40% of the AI community. He believes we will see the first computers as smart as people by 2015. As to smart yogurt -- linkable electronics in bacteria such as E. Coli -- he figures that means the end of security. "So how do you manage security in that sort of a world? I would say that there will not be any security from 2025 onwards."
I love proponents of AI. They increase my pool size of people I can call 'knobwits' and 'fucktards', without having to even meet them.
So, humans are intelligent enough to create something that will better out intelligence, but wait, don't we have to be more intelligent to do that? yes? if so, wouldn't that increase the requirements for the AI?
The logic is, can we create a superset of our intelligence. We can expend calories strike a match, and the match releases stored energy that is more than what we put into the reaction, but AI doesn't work like that. There is no bank of stored 'intelligence'.
There is NOTHING in AI that has come out that even discusses the issues of AI, and to prove it just sample the number of people who teach AI and:
a) are guys who wear scarves a little to often b) women with sharp noses and no dress sense c) people who reference 'popular fiction' in their lectures.
Compare these with a control group of monkeys and see which group eats their own feaces.
FTA: You've got a "smart yoghurt" by about 2025, and we did the calculations, and we reckon that it's possible to make a yoghurt with roughly the same processing power as the entire European population.
If the european population was as bright as this guy, then the yoghurt I have in the fridge that expired yesterday has already trounced us.

Of course, I bet she prefers the be the 'first' of something, but like I said in a previous -1 post, when I read 'first siamese space tourist' I am getting a gun and killing as many humans as possible to try and rebalance the sanity levels of the universe.
'Feminists', what do you make of 'first female space tourist'. Probably they welcome that moniker, because they are fucking stupid.
'Feminists' and 'male feminists' are certainly first against the wall. When I am king of course. Karma.

I am a poker player, I understand hold 'em poker and I know that poker is a game of dice.
Given any hand at any moment the computer knows the chance to win. The 'game' is at what chance does the computer play.
I wish people would stop dragging layers of semantics over what is really a very very very damn simple concept.
For those who automatically awoke an idea of the computer 'reading faces' (reading time between inputs, number of wins / folds of others) none of these variables will improve upon the ability for the computer to know the odds of the hand.
Also, a computer can keep a very accurate card count and know a good percetage of played cards to refine the win odds.
If you think about it, stop whining about wanting new management, if all you do is keep adding auctions to sell something, and complain about new management, why should anyone change anything?
If you do sell somewhere else, and they get less wodge, then they may listen.
I have heard that it is more in the realm of 40 million years.
But that is a side issue. For those complaining about this classification process, just ask why we need classification in the first place, mere parlance and the ability for us to interpret and communicate ideas. The definition doesn't fundementally change the idea.
Some complete adshate was stumbling his site up saying how this classification was 'bad science' and when after 22 paragraphs of 'tearing it apart' and talking about how our moon could become a planet, his suggestion?
That we do not fucking classify what planets are. He didn't say it in that many words, but that was only because he didn't realise that most arguments are support to have a counterpoint, not just spout bullshit.
If we do not use orbit and mass (gravitational stability) what the fuck else?
Why don't we say the four biggest are planets? the smaller are not? We are dwarved by the bigger planets far more than we eclipse the newer 'planets'.
People are being tetchy and frivilous about this whole thing, and stepping over the issue of classification and what the fuck it means. Science mother fucker, do you speak it? Serioulsy. It is this narrowminded approach to 'scientific' debate that is all to customary and all to accepted.
