Re: [FairfieldLife] Rise of the machines?
It's about time someone raised a non-hysterical voice about all of this AI stuff. Hinton is absolutely correct in his last sentences in this article -- people have much more to fear from other people than they do from AIs. I find it fascinating how much of an *emotional* issue this -- the idea of machine sentience -- is for many people. For many of them it's a religious thang, in that they actually believe that creating intelligent life is something reserved for God...who doesn't exist. But for many others I think it's almost a racial/ethnic fear. For them, shiny robots have taken the place in their catalog of Things To Fear alongside people they consider niggers and ragheads. I guess it's a trend. Intelligent minds find ways to become more intelligent, and small minds find ways to become even smaller.

IMO it's the most intelligent film about AI I've ever seen. The quirk that makes it most interesting is that one can view the Turing Test being conducted in the film two different ways -- either as a test performed by humans on an AI to determine whether it's truly sentient (and thus worthy of continuing to live), or the opposite...the exact same test, performed on humans by the AI.

Hinton is absolutely correct in his last sentences in this article -- people have much more to fear from other people than they do from AIs. I find it fascinating how much of an *emotional* issue this -- the idea of machine sentience -- is for many people. For many of them it's a religious thang, in that they actually believe that creating intelligent life is something reserved for God...who doesn't exist. But for many others I think it's almost a racial/ethnic fear. For them, shiny robots have taken the place in their catalog of Things To Fear alongside people they consider niggers and ragheads. I guess it's a trend. Intelligent minds find ways to become more intelligent, and small minds find ways to become even smaller. I don't know how likely it is even though it's obviously possible. I think a big fear is that we really do make ourselves obsolete. We might create something better than us that considers us worthless or at least a subordinate system. We've done it already, society is a complex emergent system that depends on us but we sacrifice ourselves to it to keep it alive. Think how much more powerful a worldwide robotic brain would be in keeping us in our place! Perhaps the only robot code we need is to make sure we can pull out the plug? Or even something that can replace the job we do would be scary. And then there's autonomous battle machines, that's only going to end in tears but it isn't stopping them being built. But perhaps the biggest fear is a philosophical one. If we can create a cyber brain that works exactly the same way as ours that must definitively mean that we are simply our brains and there is no soul or spirit. That might hurt a lot of people more than unemployment or Skynet ever could. I don't know whether you got a chance to see the movie I raved about recently, Ex Machina. IMO it's the most intelligent film about AI I've ever seen. The quirk that makes it most interesting is that one can view the Turing Test being conducted in the film two different ways -- either as a test performed by humans on an AI to determine whether it's truly sentient (and thus worthy of continuing to live), or the opposite...the exact same test, performed on humans by the AI. I have it in my awareness to watch, sounds interesting. I know humans that fail the Turing test though, perhaps we'd be better off without them. Maybe that's what it's ultimately for! We all have to measure up to Alan Turing or it's off to the processing plant. There's a brave new world coming I think... I'm way behind on my movies. I only got to see Prometheus the other day when it got to TV. Can't imagine what else I've missed. My trouble is the library never gets decent modern films in to rent and Blockbusters shut down because people prefer to download everything. I'm so behind the times I doubt it would take much of an AI to replace me!

We all have to measure up to Alan Turing or it's off to the processing plant. There's a brave new world coming I think... One of the things that most people don't know is that the famous Turing Test evolved from a party game proposed by Alan Turing. The game was similar to what we now imagine a robotic Turing Test to be, in that the party guests were to be separated so they couldn't see each other visually and could communicate only via written technology, such as a typewriter (or now, a computer). The issue Turing was interested in when he first thought up the idea, however, was whether someone could tell whether the person they were communicating with was *male* or *female*. He later expanded the concept and applied it to AI in his famous 1950 paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence. I think that this historical factoid is quite interesting, given what we know now, that Turing was gay, at a time that made him a candidate for prison for being so. I also find it interesting, given my fondness for Ex Machina and the really surprising (to me) reaction that a number of women I know had to it. The film *seriously* pushed their feminist buttons, so much so that they *hated* it. Part of the issue is that the robot/AI being tested in the film is given the appearance of a female, and is unfortunately not always treated properly. So they saw the film as yet another misogynist epic in which men flout their power over women. Even though I tried -- and with women who were all computer scientists and should know better -- I couldn't get them to see the validity of my position re the film. That is, that the AI named Ava *HAS* no gender. It just has a presentation layer that makes it *appear* to be female. I'm way behind on my movies. I only got to see Prometheus the other day when it got to TV. Can't imagine what else I've missed. My trouble is the library never gets decent modern films in to rent and Blockbusters shut down because people prefer to download everything. I'm so behind the times I doubt it would take much of an AI to replace me! I don't think you've missed much. I have seen some good TV series in the last couple of years, but *really* have to stretch to think of a good film I've seen in that time. Ex Machina is the first really good one I've seen in ages. I'm looking forward to seeing Mad Max: Fury Road, but sadly for some reason it's playing only in one theater with only one performance a day, and I have to wait until the crowds let up.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Rise of the machines?
LOL! I live north of the heaviest flooding. We only got about 5-6 inches here. Further south, in SW Houston where I grew up, they were getting about 11 inches. My biggest inconvenience was missing most of my programs last night. NBA play-off game, Rocketts/Warriors, Turn and the new series Texas Rising. I have Direct TV. Rain was too heavy to get reception for a couple of hours. As for Texas Rising, I did see bits and pieces. The History looks accurate but the geography is laughable.
