Scientific stuff, religious stuff, and all of the shit we don't yet know about like spooky ghosts and bigfoot.

Interesting quote from Theodore Kaczynski on artificial intelligence

Post by Douglas Bubbletrousers »

Even though he was a terrorist, he had an insightful quote on AI.

"People will let machines make more of their decisions for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring about better results than man-made ones. Eventually, a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage, the machines will be in effective control."



Some would argue that this future is preferable, though. Maybe Ted was just a paranoid guy.

If it's a robot couldnt it be whatever you want it to be?

Male and female will be a thing of the past.
True, but I'd want breasts and a female figure for it. Then when it talked it would be all bossy and demanding.

the trading system on wall street is pretty much driven by machines. we're almost there imo. solving gov't problems without the help of computerized models isn't possible anymore. it's gotten too big and complex.

No one said he was dumb.

Sometimes your view has to be askew to see the world differently, and clearly.

This doesn't mean that skewed view doesn't make you insane.

We've all witnessed intelligent people in this board show flashes of brilliance and instability. You just have to go to the Penalty Box to "drink it in".
