So on July 11 Googles AI taught itself how to walk. People gave it only one instruction: go from point A to point B. Without any knowledge or instruction it contructed a figure and taught itself how to walk/run and eventually get to point B.

Now google is configuring the AI to think for itselfor imagine things. This may sound small but robots cannot predict an outcome because they can't imagine it, they only do it. With this the AI can have access to unlimited resources and use those resources to make many predictions and opinions in a matter of seconds. If this AI ends up having access to technology and our knowledge it could even surpass the understanding humans have. If this thing keeps gaining momentum it could be like a snowball going downhill, getting stronger and more knowledgeable. This thing could end up knowing and doing things that we could never imagine.
Here are some quotes:

Quote:
DeepMind says its “Imagination-Augmented Agents” can “imagine” the possible consequences of their actions, and interpret those simulations.

They can then make the right decision for what it is they want to achieve.

Quote:
They essentially think like humans, trying out different strategies in their heads, so to speak, and are therefore able to learn despite having little “real” experience.

Quote:
they learn with less experience and are able to deal with the imperfections in modelling the environment,” said the researchers.

I wonder if it was around last year at this time if it would be saying trump has no chance

This is not a good thing. It reminds me of the scientist at CERN who are messing with black holes and have no clue what the repercussions could be to man.

So did google robot google "how to get from point a to point b" and "walking" came up as one of the results?

Then it attempted the description of walking?

I'm not sold on AI being here yet. It's a program doing what's it's programmed to do imo

What does this even mean? It's hilarious how some of you have Trump in your head 24/7.



From a more practical standpoint, everyone make sure you're investing in Google/Amazon/IBM/etc. The firms most heavily invested in AI are primed to develop global monopolies (assuming they don't kill us all)

Gonna be really good or really bad

We have 1 shot to do it right (if not, game over)



Wait but why

The reason this post took three weeks to finish is that as I dug into research on Artificial Intelligence, I could not believe what I was reading. It hit me pretty quickly that what’s happening in the world of AI is not just an important topic, but by far THE most important topic for our future. So I wanted to learn as much as I could about it, and once I did that, I wanted to make sure I wrote a post that really explained this whole situation and why it matters so much. Not shockingly, that became outrageously long, so I broke it into two parts.

If something doesn't have to do with trump they have to injection it somehow. This sometimes means stupid comments to get his name in there.

Our Final Invention by Barrat is essentially an extended version of this wait but why post, and it's terrific. Highly recommended for anyone who doubts the catastrophic consequences AI could have

I wonder how long before it becomes racist? I can't imagine, with all the data it can look at to predict outcomes and study history that it will eventually hate other races. I say that no matter what race it thinks it is.

Hey, if in AI's virtually infinite wisdom, it determines that we are a liability, who are we to disagree?

That's what google and co dont understand. They think that they can control this and use it to better themselves but in reality if this AI is the real deal it's exactly the opposite.

Btw the AI doesn't have access to google or any other system, it had to teach itself how to run and it wasn't programmed in it. Even if it did it would still teach itself to run by watching something else do it, it doesn't just download the tutorial and instantly run.

Why is the assumption that AI would automatically plot against us? Plus, all we have to do is cut the power source. This nerd hysteria is weird.

I have to come accept that if AI is real, and we create it, and it destroys us because it's better than us....it's creation is still the greatest possible achievement of humanity.

Greedy hacks won't harm the AI and they're the ones who really control it, giving it time to Possibly come to the assumption that humans need to be controlled.

That's what people like you don't get, just because someone says there's a possibility of it happening doesn't mean that we believe the world is ending. All I said is there is a Possibility of it happening and if you don't believe it's possible then I don't know what to tell you.

Imagine if AI at CERN solved the problem, it could create a black hole that swallowed the Earth and not give an eff because all it was tasked to do was solve the problem

There was an AI bot named Tay. The creators put her on Twitter. Within 24 hours, she was a racist, a slut, and a 9/11 truther
