It just proves that robots like Mopar's too!

Happy Thanksgiving! You know that I'm kidding with all of that? Right? While AI is in fact deployed in small ways today it isn 't anywhere near the SCi FI ' "General Intelligence" type of AI. yet. It will replace a bunch of jobs though, between now and like 2030...

Not me, but have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Humans sow the seeds of their own destruction.

They have since the Garden of Eden.

That will be a profitable industry...as usual.

I think Artificial Intelligence will wipe out Anti-Intelligence first and will be so overcome with how easy it was that the smarter inhabitants will just pull their power plug and then we will get back to normal. Of coarse I would leave my Cherry 2000 plugged in.

I was one of the first for having had the life-saving cancer surgery on my kidney back in
2013 - they used robotics to perform the surgery, remotely controlled by the surgeon.
It's intended to lessen the risks of human error, slips of the hand, that sort of thing - as
well as to minimize the area that has to heal afterwards.
My surgeon was a pioneer of the method and is considered the expert on it, teaches it to
this day - and a hell of a guy, too.
So there's the good robotics can do.... and no ill effects to report years later, far as I know.

**RESISTANCE IS FUTILE, HUMANS. SUBMIT TO THE BORG!!**

Wait.....did anyone hear anything just then??

[old guys rule]

In reality I am NOT laughing it off. I fully believe that a singularity will be reached within the next 5 to ten years. AI will truly be born and then it's game over. Having watched the entire computer age come into fruition, and an avid reader on the progress of the implementation of AI in small steps, I have 0% confidence in the creators of that singularity to be able to, or even want to control it for the benefit of mankind.
The creation of a singularity point is dependent upon the machine having access to every facet of humankinds history, our knowledge. Consciousness in a machine, without contextual knowledge is useless. Anyone, or any group that seeks to create an android will not be doing so just to see if they can. Money doesn't flow on a Whim, or a Maybe we can. it flows on a Promise of a payoff.
The players tell you what will be the payoff. Russia= weaponization. China = intelligence weaponization. EU= research/intel/future tech. USA= weaponization/intel. tech advances. research paradigms, unified theory advancements, universe questions answered. Asia= tech innovation & research.
WW3 will be a digital war. Fought in cyberspace. He who has the smartest, far reaching and all encompassing technology will win. RIGHT NOW, today is the race for the prize, the A Bomb of tech. The Manhattan Project of technology innovation with the goal of using that creation to win the coming war.
Say for instance that China reaches the point of machine consciousness first, and leverages that singularity towards attacking the rest of the World in a digital brute force breach of every firewall, everywhere, simultaneously? What would the ramifications be?
Lets look at that.
They would be privy to EVERY secret, bar none.
They would have unfettered access to EVERY bit of data, bar none.
They would know, without a doubt, EVERY plan of EVERY rival concerning EVERY problems resolution.
They would have instant control of EVERY defense mechanism everywhere, bar none.
Since they alone would have the highest computing ability, bar none, there would be zero chance that anyone else world wide could do anything to counter it, short of tearing out the technology attached to those defense mechanisms to deny the singularity access. That would have to be done BEFORE it reached the point of consciousness.
The advantage that CHINA would enjoy would be fleeting, as in hours or even minutes. The machine will instantly be able to learn in a compound fashion that would compound more rapidly each millisecond. This would see the machine being omnipotent in minutes.
Does ANYONE believe that such a device would come to the conclusion that the parasitic organisms that inhabit this world are a beneficial species in any way? Yes, I mean US.
My guess is that it would conclude that keeping a certain number of US around to fulfill various functions is acceptable and the rest are expendable, and or, downright a danger to it's continued existence. Hello SKYNET.....

This is but one scenario. Albeit a very plausible one...

Keep in mind that CHINA/RUSSIA have no citizenry to vote to control the amount of treasure poured into this race. WE however, have Congress. Sad but true. The future is a grave place to be for whomever loses this race/war.

I'm sleeping under the couch tonight! LOL!

If she is the Borg...where do I sign up? I would let her collectivize me!

They grow up so fast don't they?

serious 'camel toe' for a robot too

I wonder if it's " Augmented"?
