RE: Artificial Intelligence: Are Humans Extincting Themselves or Creating a Brighter Future?
AI will never replace humans.
Computer scientists think they are closing in on the computational power of the brain. But the brain is not the mind.
This is not an unfair competition like with robotising industry. Where you have a robot do a single task over and over. Of course that robot can outperform a human. But, given any other task the robot can't do anything. And this is the way for each task. Robots even have to be trained to recognize objects. (each and every new object)
The next part is that computers cannot think outside the box. There world is 0s and 1s. There is never a 2. They cannot rearranged their instruction set. And there are things that their instruction set can never compute.
Humans can contemplate 0 and infinity. Computers have no ability to understand these concepts. They are not mathematical. And only strict binary math works inside the computer.
So, basically, AI will become the next search tool. It will make computers an actual human helper. Much like a secretary of the 1950s.
But it will not try to take over the world. Someone would have to explain world, and since humans have a limited understanding of world, they cannot ever teach it. You cannot teach a blind man about color.
And they have already programmed computers to control the stock market and profit off of war. Read roadtoroota.com That is exactly what the FED had Bernanke do. And now we have added high speed trading. But don't blame this on AI, blame this on psychopaths that want control.
Yes, the stock markets have already been taken over by machine trading, controlled by the psychopaths. I enjoy Bix Weir and his roadtoroota.com. The fact that I'm not a computer scientist leaves me to listen to experts on topics like AI. I understand what a computer is and how it functions.
Why do Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk sound the alarm as to the direction of AI in the future, if it is not a threat?
Because of who Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk are.
They are talking heads. Political mouth pieces.
Stephen Hawkings, if he has the disease they say he does, should have died decades ago. So, if it is still him, he is in the 0.000001% of probability that he is still alive. My theory is that he is just somebody they dress up in a wheel chair where the speach writers back stage have a puppet to talk through.
Elon Musk hasn't built anything useful. His businesses are not legit. They all run off of govern-cement funding. Elon knows which side his bread is buttered on, and he follows his queues in making the speeches when needed. And if you follow him, you will notice that he contradicts his previous statements often. Nothing Elon has done has been revolutionary. He has just done it bigger with the help of govern-cement funding.
So, why would they sound the alarm? Mostly its a show. Mostly its to plant fear. T.P.T.shouldn'tB. are already working on super A.I. If they could actually build Skynet ™ they would have already done so. What they probably have in the works is a false flag with computer hacking and then the next step after boogyman hackers have warn off, is to say its rogue AIs.
I enjoy your way of thinking. I also believe the world is not as it is presented to us. The Narrative that TPTB keep up is so fraudulent and easily torn apart. I'll go along with your argument.
Well to be fair that is not YOUR theory on Hawking. But yes it is a very probable theory.
"But the brain is not the mind."
Evidence needed.
edit: just seen your comments on Stephen Hawking being a crisis actor or something. Don't bother.
Crisis actor? Please don't mix metaphors.
He is a disinformation specialist.
In about 50 years, Stephen Hawking's name will be stricken from science books. What he has done has set science back almost a hundred years. Fortunately, the universe will show that Stephen Hawking is wrong. No black holes; no big bang. It will be absolutely breathtaking when we see a new galaxy form.
But the brain is not the mind:
No evidence can be given. It is all, well, in the mind.
But, you can go and explore your mind, and when you really get into understanding who you are, you will then know that your brain is not your mind.
