Foundations of Singularity on display in Tokyo

Left overnight, a robot empowered by the algorithms can use trial and error to figure out how to pick up randomly positioned objects with 90 percent accuracy. Eight machines working simultaneously and sharing their lessons can do that in an hour. A veteran Fanuc engineer would need several days to write a teaching program that even approaches that performance.

So in 2016 we get Batman vs. Superman AND Man vs. Machine.
How do the robots feel about ISIS?

learning AI scares me. That's really all I have to say about this.

Still no evidence whatsoever of strong AI. Learning algorithm =/= intelligence.

Duh, the machines are too smart to show their hand this early in the game.

How would you define intelligence?
You learned to breastfeed (something many consider reflex) using the same trial and error technique.

Instead of artificial intelligence these articles should call it artificial mindless task-doing from now on.
What's next with these 'learning, artificially intelligent machines'? Are they going to 'pick up randomly positioned objects with 100 percent accuracy after 5 minutes'? The world will end.

Certainly something more than iterative learning algorithms. Personally I would define AI as something that can think on its own, come up with ideas, determine what to do next, etc. I've never seen a machine that can do anything better than a single set of preprogrammed tasks. Maybe they can do those tasks better or faster than a human, but cockroaches are better at identifying problems and coming up with solutions to them than any "AI".

This sounds like exactly what the article is describing these robots doing, and they're doing it better than humans. I'd consider that intelligence.

The printing press scared people too. Luddites have no place in the new world.

It's not going to happen overnight but we're certainly getting there. If you're trying to minimize the accomplishments by moving the goalposts at each step, good luck.

Look at it like this: robots are 1 step closer to replacing fast food employees. Now they can take your order plus flip the burgers with 90% accuracy, which is probably higher than some current workers

The goal of strong AI has always been the same: an intelligence that can identify problems interfering with broad goals and come up with its own solutions. They don't have to be complicated, they just require actual thinking in a real-world situation. It's a field which has seen little if any actual progress since its inception in the 50's.

Robots from 1973:
They can't get much better.

They can't get much better.

I'm ready for our robot slave masters. Change we can believe in!

Roomba been doing this for years.

I'm way too hungover to have a reasonably informed debate on this. Mind if I bump this thread tomorrow?
