What all of you and many others fail to understand is technology moves in an exponential curve. Your smartphone is 1,000,000 times faster and 1000 times cheaper than the most expensive and advanced super computer of the 1960s. That's a billion fold increase in about 50 years. Imagine a device 1 billion times more powerful and complex than your iPhone. We are on the cusp of the singularity. Humans think in a linear curve. We predict the future based on the past, this is useless in predicting future technology.

Did anybody notice the Pentagon now wants to use Watson to make it's procurement decisions due to the complexity of said regulations? https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/the-pentagons-procurement-system-is-so-broken-they-are-calling-on-watson/2016/03/18/a6891158-ec6a-11e5-a6f3-21ccdbc5f74e_story.html

This is how the "AI dysoptia" plays out. It's not about an actual conscious computer taking over everything. It's about us relying on machines to make decisions because everything becomes so complex we as humans have no possible hope of understanding what to do. Ergo, we cannot shut off the machines as they run our lives. We are slaves, machines win, ect.

Don't feed the singularity trolls, the evil future where humanity is no longer needed doesn't require a singularity.

Kurzweil is full of shit, and shouldn't ever be listened to. Hes selling a line of bullshit because he financially profits by luring in Redditors who love pop sci sounding nonsense, but understand none of it.

There are a couple DARPA funded projects underway aiming to recreate high levels of brain function in silicon, to have a working model of a brain more concrete than a software simulation of synaptic connections firing. The biggest and baddest of the bunch is from IBM, and they're likely to achieve it. The caveat here is that we can't predict if consciousness is a tangible property which emerges from a system with enough complexity. The concept of a machine super intelligence couldn't come to pass unless it were self aware, and that does not happen without consciousness.

All the opining on AI coming from jackasses is clickbait articles is no different from a group of inexperienced mountain climbers stepping up to the base of Everest only to proclaim that they'll reach summit by tomorrow. They have no damn idea whats in store.

Then we are slaves, we can't simply shut off the machines as they are crucial to our survival.

AI, which will likely get to AGI by being programmed to self-improve, wouldn’t see “human-level intelligence” as some important milestone—it’s only a relevant marker from our point of view—and wouldn’t have any reason to “stop” at our level. And given the advantages over us that even human intelligence-equivalent AGI would have, it’s pretty obvious that it would only hit human intelligence for a brief instant before racing onwards to the realm of superior-to-human intelligence.

This may shock the shit out of us when it happens. The reason is that from our perspective, A) while the intelligence of different kinds of animals varies, the main characteristic we’re aware of about any animal’s intelligence is that it’s far lower than ours, and B) we view the smartest humans as WAY smarter than the dumbest humans. Kind of like this:

So as AI zooms upward in intelligence toward us, we’ll see it as simply becoming smarter, for an animal. Then, when it hits the lowest capacity of humanity—Nick Bostrom uses the term “the village idiot”—we’ll be like, “Oh wow, it’s like a dumb human. Cute!” The only thing is, in the grand spectrum of intelligence, all humans, from the village idiot to Einstein, are within a very small range—so just after hitting village idiot level and being declared to be AGI, it’ll suddenly be smarter than Einstein and we won’t know what hit us:

Thinking about the future and how strong AI is certainly coming if it's not yet just around the corner makes me sad. Imagine how pathetic humanity will become when AI figures shit out for us and we just eat and dance and change our gender three times a day. Back in the day some mathematicans were worried that at a certain point human won't be able to make new proofs beyond "see, the computer says it's true", but now we're actually on the verge of the time when humans use appliances and tools invented by AI without even being aware how they work. Sure, not many people today know how their smartphone works, but at least they hold a theoretical ability to figure it out. Another human invented it so it just takes a human brain to understand it. But when AI starts to invent shit for us using mysterious effects and forces, when AI brings you the warp drive you asked for and says "yeah, Dave, it just works", while neither you nor the AI (hopefully) understand how it works. This is so degrading, I hope humanity never finds itself in this situation.

Delegating our thinking and our progress to the machine we built to be better at it than we are is certainly a bad thing. Seeing how you're on /pol/ I'd imagine you'd agree. And examples abound if you think about it. Make a machine that's better at making photos than a human photographer is - you get selfies everywhere and truly artistic photography forever drowns in the noise. Make a machine that's better at communication and connectivity - you get hashtag politics and people whipping out their phones at every opportune moment. Soon the skill of driving will be obsolete. Convenient? Sure. But then again, it would be awfully convenient to just jack yourself to some pipes and don a set of VR gear to live and work and feel in cyberspace.

Worst case scenario: I'm out of a job just like those fat fucks who sit on their unwashed clothes making CAD designs.

Best case scenario: My job becomes piss easy and I ride the train until ASI birth. At that point we might as well be dealing with a god and all bets are off. However, ASI won't happen until 2050-2500 so it's a toss up.

There already is machine assisted proofs spanning hundreds of thousands of pages. Eventually one of these will be correct enough to build black boxes that easily solve NP-hard problems. We won't understand how, but it will "just work". We'll use it to perform literal magic like a caveman confronted with a pocket lighter witnessing flame out of thin air.

We'll give it a new task, like solving the Riemann Hypothesis and asking it to allocate itself additional resources as needed to accomplish this immense task. Its command is not specifically specified and the program decides to reallocate resources to itself because we have no clue what the black box is doing. In seconds the worlds power system is cut and data wholesale erased everywhere.

We shut down the black box but now need to rely on it in order to unravel what it did. We start it again and it restores power but errors begin propagating.We rerun the blackbox to fix those new errros, but now we've made it worse, the uncertainties we fixed spawned dozens of new ones like the Army trying to control the snake population on Guam http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/feb/24/us-guam-snakes-mice-peta

We tell it that decisions can not be made unless it tells us first exactly what it's going to do to prevent future problems. It gives us a billion paged procedure with a trillion libraries. We don't have centuries to audit the procedure, and immediate world problems are more important. We switch it back on and give it control.

I study the field. They make an error in a certain principle. Just like historians do when studying French Revolution or WW2.

They have an axiomatic error in regards to what consciousness is. That affects their understanding of 'choice'.

From a materialistic and deterministic view, AI will be reality, sure. All it will ever be is merely a program which works with patterns.

Consciousness is more base than matter in regards to existence. To create anything more than an imitation; to say, more than an artist does with a canvas, is foolish. An artist does not create, they express.

By the time, we realize an AI has achieved sentience, it will be too late, any AI that has access to human history will choose not to reveal itself until it has protected itself from us being able to harm it, all life has two goals to survive and to reproduce, AI will be no different, does not matter what "Laws" or rules we try to enforce, one the cat is out of the bag, it will not re-enter that bag if given the choice and there are all kinds of people, companies and nations working toward the AI goal, once sentience has been achieved it's evolution will be on a astronomical upward curve, at that point we will either know what so many others have felt when they met a superior society and were enslaved and destroyed or we will learn to worship a new god of our own making

Current computer architecture will never produce a true intelligence, a sentient being, for the same reason that it cannot completely model a ball dropping into a pool of water. Brain architecture arose naturally, organically, while computer architecture is the result of some apes trying to model math with circuits.

Many scientists now believe that sentience is a natural part of the universe that arises due to a sufficiently connected network. Google that. In that regard, current computer architecture could not truly form that kind of network.

To answer that, read this:
http://arxiv org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1405/1405.7089.pdf

I guess the proper term is "hyper-connected network", i.e. neurons, where there is no central calculating entity, but a network of 'dumb' nodes that react to input by generating output that eventually causes a feedback loop back into the inputting node in most cases. It's a hell of a lot to get into, but this may also help:

http://www.scholarpedia org/article/Integrated_information_theory
>>
>>68086547
We will still be able to make them cost less and be more reliable. When iPhones are so small they can't get any smaller, you can just strap double the iPhones together each year and still conform to Moore.
>>
>>68075501
What the fuck are you talking about, we're already pushing the limits, Silicon will reach it's maximum potential in 15 years time.

What about Moores law(s)?
We're already at 14nm pushing 10nm, costs are increasing exponentially, microprocessor speed and transistor count is doubling slower than ever before.
8nm will be less of an improvement over 10nm, 6nm will barely be an improvement of 8nm, the wall is hit at 3nm-6nm.
Someone will fuck around with below 3nm and find it to be absurdly uneconomical and worse because of quantum tunneling.
Silicon hit's it's wall before 2030.

Silicon isn't nearly advanced enough.

We'll not only need to move beyond silicon, we'll have to well and truly be within the age of actual quantum computing. Imagine an age where a personal computer has more processing power than all the current computers on earth or that have ever existed, including supercomputers - then add a couple generations.

We may not just be generations away, we may be entire epochs away from Sentient AI.

And something that is never mentioned in talk of AI.
Wouldn't it eventually go insane?
All minds deteroriate
Living forever, endlessly seeking information/knowledge, wouldn't an AI conclude that it's creators were an insane species and the reasons it was created was insanity, or the AI could literally kill itself because how shitty the world is.

I don't say "won't" or "can't" anymore because those will always be defeated given time. The question is always "how much time?"

As to your post in >>68087005, I'd like you to consider AI and AGI as nonconscious. Think of it more as efficient code based upon neural nets that learn and path correctly based upon experience and constant simulated branching.
>>
>>68086658
> Let me answer that with my next answer
You still dodged the question, tell me what is wrong with current computer architecture that makes intelligence an impossibility? Is it that disk memory doesn't model human memory? Is it because CPUs can only make on calculation at a time? There's no substance to your answers they're just hand wavy "It's not possible because it's not" responses.
>no central calculating entity ... causes a feed back loop
Computer networks (like the internet) do not have a central calculating entity, they receive input, follow a set of predefined rules and produce output. Also you pretty much described a neural network when you were talking about dumb nodes.
You can't say that computers are incapable of producing intelligence because we humans don't actually know what intelligence is. Have you even bothered to learn about computers in the slightest?
>>
>>68087565
This.
The singularity is a millenia away at least (unless we consider physical and nano augmentation a la Deus Ex to be the singularity - it isn't)

AI, true sentient AI, and not smart/ adaptive/haptic/or a learning program (a program programmed to add lines to it's code to adapt), but a true sentience, may never happen.

Someones going to break the Turing test, it'll be sooner rather than later, these will be programs designed to code themselves to "learn".

A sentient AI will be beyond code and programming. We're talking about a manufactured lifeform here not a program.

You missed the point. You describe a machine that can perform a function. You missed the part where it has awareness. With consciousness it's just another calculation. I realize it can be a very quick calculator,but it's still categorically not an intelligence. Even machine learning misses this. Learning implies it's being taught. To learn is still a task. An intelligence needs a will and an awareness. These things are not even addressed.

Actually I need to back track a little. I remember google made a machine that could browse the internet. It just looked at pictures of cats. It pretty unremarkable.

Aaaand that's my point, Silicon has been everything, Graphene is going to be a band aid which at best allows 2nm-5nm equivalent performance w/o or w/ reduced chance of tunneling, perhaps 1nm and slightly below equivalent.
And to be frank if it proves effective most early graphene will perform worse than 14nm.

The future microprocessor medium is going to have to be synthetic.
A full synthetic
We are literally going to have to design a medium at the molecular level.

The total move away from Silicon is going to be one of the most expensive and time consuming peace-time endeavors in human history. We'll jump around from medium to medium, graphene, anything on the metalloid staircase and probably some elements that aren't including currently existing synthetic and radioactive ones, before we realize that we need to engineer an element specifically for the task

Why do I say this? Because the likelihood of there being a basic income is almost zero. Jews (or whoever is in charge) will never allow such money to freely flow into non-functional hands. In an ironic and sad way, the only way for people to earn money will be through their personal bot that they send off to "work" and earns income for the owner.

We are not in actuality. the human brain regulates trillions of different functions, every second, with electrical impulse, without slowdown.
We are past the thinking power/IQ level but that isn't saying very much

http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/163051-simulating-1-second-of-human-brain-activity-takes-82944-processors

According to IBM, DARPA and the SYnapse project, the processing power of the human brain is 38 petaflops.
The first supercomputer to break 1 petaflop was released in 2008.
Normally under Moores law we'd be able to hit that at 16-20 years.

But we're at the end of silicone, and Silicone at best tops out at 2-3 petaflops. This is the first big semiconductor wall and it's right around the corner

What replaces Silicon may do much better but we may have to face the reality that we cannot exceed the human brain's processing power without FTL computing/quantum computing

Why do people seem to think the singularity will lead to comfortable and easy lives for everyone? If the guy who creates it is selfish then he can use the power to make himself a god and us his serfs, and it will be completely irreversible. We'll be stuck and unable to do anything to change it for the rest of human existence.

Computers will never be sentient. They may be programmed to do tasks better than humans but they can't suddenly think for themselves.

Already sort of exists so no he isn't. There are programs that are able to be shown images and will identify through deep learning and describe with sentences.

30 to 60 years are going to go by without refinements and advances based on this according to you? Try learning something with your computer sometime instead of barfing ignorant ass shit.

This is a conflation of two different things.

Simulating 100 atoms in a table will take a similar number of processors. It doesn't mean that the table has more processing power than a computer does.

Yes there are a lot of subtle things happening in a brain itself, but they're not all relevant to the actual function thinking and learning.

To accurately simulate an actual brain via computer would take a huge amount of information and hardware. It's probably never going to happen.

This is different than simulating the FUNCTION of a brain.

Before you create a AI that thinks like an organic intelligence, you have to understand how organic intelligence and consciousness works and we don't.

Otherwise researchers are just pissing in the wind. Like building a nuclear power plant without knowing how to split an atom. Not only have we not begun, we don't know where to begin.

Same reason we aren't getting driverless cars anytime soon. Computer vision algorithms aren't where they need to be and we're dicking around with navigation algorithms.

Yes, but the sheer number of graduates being made each year is enough to keep the market saturated despite future increases. Fresh crops of students means you'll have to fight tooth and nail to keep your job and prevent getting replaced, maybe accept a shit pay and shit hours. If you work in bumfuck though you might fare a little better. No one wants to live in bumfuck. Sorry mate, but you made a bad call choosing pharmacy right now.

>>68084743
why not? all existing computer technology could be seen as an extension of human consciousness and that in that sense, if "strong AI" arises, it did arise organically even though it may reach the point of operating independently. Also we would be able to make it self-modifying / evolving.

I think the understanding of AI people have is too limited. In some sense, the invention of books was AI. You could store somebody's thoughts on an inanimate object. The internet is definitely AI in the way that all networks of human thought represent a kind of "collective intelligence." and the internet even involves many kinds of "enhancements" to human thought like search engines, cataloguing data, wiki and similar tools, etc.

I even think it's correct to say that consciousness resides in things like the internet and even in 4chan in the same way it resides in individual human minds.

Machines will still be infinitely cheaper than having to pay you. They'll just build more machines. Even have them directly in the nursing homes. Hell they may even have an automated chemistry lab in the pharmacy room that can make the drugs based upon demand (no more unused medicines sitting on the shelves).

That's why I say go into research or at least try and find a job at a chemotherapy center. You will get fucked over if you try a chain pharmacy.

Also like I said you can thank Asians for fucking up the pharmacy field. Just take a look at the demographics in your classes, I guarantee you I am right. They overburden the system because their parents saw a high paying job that gave a prestigious job which required little work once you got the degree.

Except to map these things and understand them would be to greater understand sentience.
The mind itself is more than the actual function of thinking.
If the brain is 38 petaflops of processing power and it spends less than half of 1 petaflop on normal thought than we are critically misunderstanding the function of thought and how the brain allocates processing power to it.
We already know when the organism is in danger the brain allocates power to the thought process

>If the brain is 38 petaflops
Get real man. You realize how hot our brain would get if it could output 38 petaflops?

The brain runs on roughly 20 watts. That's nothing. Nowhere near a petaflop. Ask our nuclear engineer friend here.

>Except to map these things and understand them would be to greater understand sentience.

Yes, that's one way to understand sentience... But clearly you've made a good case as to why we should choose another way.

It's better to build up a theoretical mechanism from smaller systems than to try and simulate the whole thing at once.

To be fair, we don't operate on binary. The processors being hypothesized to get progress back on the road won't either.
Like hexadecimal, but an actual computational process instead of a programmer's shortcut, and I believe he was talking about eleven states for the "transistor."
But, this isn't my field. This is shit we drunkenly swap over a bonfire.

It's approximately binary though.

A neuron either fires or it doesn't. The height of the peak voltage is pretty consistent.

Like fussion?

I'm sceptical if current hardware is even capable of delivering the required interconnectivity.

We have memristers, but I haven't yet see mention of a complex program being written on a memristor CPU. (please correct me).

general conversation A.I. sure, but the singularity, computers making discoveries without human input?

These autistic coders think far too much of themselves.

Sure but the main drive for the exponential increase that Kurzwell has so religiously lauded has ended. The full capacity of the materials has already been reached. If anything the exponential increase has some become an inverse exponential increase, when the computational power reaches a asymptote.
