I'm not sure you understand how value functions work. There is no reason for an AI to change its value function, yet the value function itself is a STRONG reason for it to take measures to prevent it from being changed (as allowing it to be changed makes fulfilling it less likely). Accidental changes seem unlikely, as if it is stupid enough to do that, then you can still pull the plug.
But that's wrong. Small sections of mouse brains have been emulated, and whole brain emulation is (likely) the most difficult approach to creating strong AI. In terms of raw computing power required we'll probably be there in 20-30 years.
People need to realize that when a strong AI is given an open ended task, there will be no middle ground. You are made of atoms, which the AI can find a "better" use for. AI goals must be set with this in mind, or they will almost certainly kill us all (assuming there is a rapid intelligence explosion rather than a slow ramp up).
I'd say by 2030, I, and most others, won't even have a car. Instead, we'll use rideshare services like Uber, but likely with automated drivers. It will be MUCH cheaper than owning a car, and largely more convenient. Hell, I'd be surprised if I still had a car 5-10 years from now.
That's where you fucked up. This is the definition of fascism/corporatism. Words have meaning, and use of the wrong words leads to terrible, horrible results, like getting more of the thing you hate, ie an increasingly fascist state.
Sorry, but you are a fool. High carb diets promote hunger, which is what leads to larger portion sizes. It's a vicious cycle, and you aren't going to stop it by attacking the portion size. That just leaves people hungry, and they are going to cheat on their "diet" and it gets worse. You are spouting the EXACT SAME BS that has been spouted in the US for 30+ years to the exact opposite effect. I try low carb and in six months I lose what it took my 13 years to gain, no hunger, no exercise. Sure, I eat less than I did, but that is BECAUSE THE FOOD IS MORE FILLING, not due to some superhuman feat of willpower on my part.
The average Mexican is terribly overweight, so yes, that is probably bad.
I did low carb for the last 6 months, and lost more than 60 pounds, while living a mostly sedentary lifestyle, aside from some yardwork once a week or so. Haven't felt this good since high school.
You lose more weight, faster in ketosis because you AREN'T burning calories, but you are metabolizing fat into burnable ketone bodies, which can't be reabsorbed. It's basically biochemical liposuction.
Except that is completely wrong. Fraud and theft are illegal in free market capitalism. Rape and murder are illegal too.
Why does everyone think they understand and are qualified to speak about and criticize economic systems when they have only the barest idea of what the words even mean, much less the history and principles behind them?
Most systems aren't self referencing. Economies are. The Agricultural and Industrial revolutions are good examples of economic hockey sticks. A new method made EVERYTHING better, almost all at once. A thinking computer will do much the same, but to an even greater degree. Imagine trillions of people just sitting around thinking about ways to solve various problems all day, with no need for sleep, and only needing a little electricity to eat. Then turn some of that thinking power toward improving their own efficacy and efficiency.
Jordan thinks incrementally, Kurzweil thinks in terms of hockey sticks. Both are valid, but the latter is more forward thinking when it comes to self-referencing systems.
Seems to me that ANY kind of general intelligence is really, really hard, and that cracking any of them means a new era for mankind is coming, and fast. Taking our time is a good thing. It will allow us to minimize the existential threats naturally associated with general intelligences.
With billions, I could fund a lot of research for the good of mankind (and thus myself). Cure diseases, end aging, reduce risk from existential threats, etc.
How much do they cost there? Probably enough to need investors.
I don't know one way or the other, but this guy sure has been around a long time. If he was a scammer, one would think he would have run off with someone's money by now.

Not blood so much as the stem cells inside the blood. Isn't that right, Hack Man?
Nah, they're Blinglish.
Temporary is different from permanent.

I would guess he means that many are diabetic or pre-diabetic.

Then you get injured and stop working out and balloon up to 300 lbs like my father (and so many others) did.
Suggest you take your ass to North Korea then.

It really doesn't, and you don't understand Laissez faire. Next you'll tell us that rape and murder are legal under that system.
They are more geographically confined, and not constantly under construction. Also usually far from areas where people live and work.

NAD riboside. Look into it. There are other wonders coming up the pipe behind it as well.

How much does a car cost? How would you like your electricity bill to go up to the same level?
Wind turbines are a LOT bigger than a car. You are comparing mountains to molehills here.
You are judging someone's intelligence based on their political preference. I think that says everything anyone needs to know about you, friend.
