From: ultrarishi <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> I don't see the advantage of being the wealthiest person on a sinking ship. You may get a better cabin above the waterline, but in the end, you are still going to drown.
Nice line. Especially coming from one of them Godless folks from Portland. :-) This is how I see the world's economies today, be they capitalism, socialism, communism, etc. Very few are actually using their economies or their systems to adjust for the needs of society. They economies are more about adjusting society for the needs of the market and the profiteers. ---- On the subject of AI, there ain't much Intelligence on the planet in humans. Can''t wait to see Jihadi Robots for ISIS. And what is up with the liver-lipped Ted Cruz guy? I cannot explain Ted Cruz, his lack of intelligence, or why he seems to have so little of it, natural OR artificial. As for AI, since I worked with it for a number of years, I don't have the innate fear of it that many do -- it's just a technology, and thus is no more or no less dangerous than any other technology, depending on what you use it for. I get the feeling that many people (like JR) don't like the very concept of AI because they think it's "heresy," and trying to meddle in things that should only be meddled with by "God." But just to feel more a part of this forum, in the background I'm downloading a movie I saw on my feed today called "Robot Overlords." The short description goes "Earth has been conquered by robots from a distant galaxy. survivors are confined to their houses and must wear electronic implants, risking incineration by robot sentries if they venture outside." The trailer makes it look like a kids' fantasy -- in other words, on the same level of denial and sticking one's head in the sand as those who feel that by ranting on the Internet they can stop progress in the development of AI and robotics. :-) Robot Overlords Trailer (Robot Overlords - Official UK Trailer) - IMDb | | | | | | | | | | | Robot Overlords Trailer (Robot Overlords - Official UK T...Watch the latest Robot Overlords Trailer (Robot Overlords - Official UK Trailer) on IMDb | | | | View on www.imdb.com | Preview by Yahoo | | | | |
