I so wish Richard Feynman was presently alive .. his analysis of Computers, no matter at what level of sophistication.. they are sorting machine .. no matter how much data or speed. I’d love is updated view. A cohesive ‘I’ is an unfoldment of a integration of a certain amount of impressions … my sense is if an apparent ‘I’ of some sort can arise out of trillions of bits of computer information.. it possibly could be colored through the ‘I’ of the programmer.. I find that the concerning part … who is selecting and orienting the data.

Excellent premonition EY!! My question: Why do we insist on calling AI ''Artificial''? Isn't intelligence just intelligence? Shouldn't it be biological intelligence and machine intelligence?

Old video, but this now seems outdated. Miller predicted that when people expect the singularity, they will save less money and so interest rates go up. But it seems people who believe in the singularity will save _more_ money: they will heavily invest in AI companies, GPU companies, or microchip foundries. Because they expect those to explode in value.

27:50 "Humans are The Singularity's ultimate fallback plan. Humans can operate without electricity and semiconductors." Thanks, Mr. Vinge, for providing an incredibly charming ego stroke. This resonates more with me than all the well-intended "remember, you matter!" and "you are important!" admonitions I hear on KZbin videos nowadays.

@@cube2foxThanks for mentioning this. After reading it, it seems that he changed his mind about the pace of improvement of the tech, and what his definition of consciousness is. Although he seems genuinely scared, I would contend that the vast majority of his opposition to Ray’s ideas (such as immortality, etc) still hold. The problem is that Ray’s livelihood is to write science fiction and formulate it in a way thay convince people it could be true. He’s like an advertising executive, someone who knows how the limbic system works and exploit it well to sell his ideas. He’s not interested in the ideas themselves, he’s interested in optimizing how to convey these ideas so they trigger curiosity in us, leading us to throw money at him to know more.

9:56 "...the low IQ end of humanity, talking about being smothered by self-reproducing techno dust". This portion is about morgellons which affects all life on earth, some people in horrendous fashion. The talk is great but that part tasted foul. Moreover, smothering isn't the main issue, rather biology being converted in synthetic life. Well sorry not sorry Sir, that real life nanotech struggles were steamrolling over your intended talking points. Before the denials flood in, mainstream science admitted the existence of these fibers in 2010. Don't you worry, there's plenty of downplaying and misdirection in those studies but, there is an admission in the cesspool of corporate funded "science".

Quote: 17:29 “We, in creating the second intelligent species, should be creating the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to human beings. Finally, we’re going to be released from all these mundane jobs. And in theory we should all be able to go on perpetual vacation. The robots do all the work and we sit back and enjoy it. Instead, because of the way the economy is structured right now, when the second intelligent species arrives it’s going to have a devastating effect on all of us. Not just the people who actually do lose their jobs but everybody who’s around them because there will be so many unemployed people dumping into the marketplace. The thing I would like to encourage us to do is to think about how do we want to structure the economy given that we know this is going to happen. There is no doubt that truck drivers will be out of jobs in, pick a time frame. There’s no doubt. Wal-Mart workers they’re all going to be out of jobs. Construction workers, all of them. There’s no doubt that’s going to happen. So, are we going to let it happen or are we going to restructure the economy so that we can all go on perpetual vacation? I submit to you that we actually get to make that choice if we take it upon ourselves to do it. And we could actually redesign the economy to make that happen. And I think we should. We should redesign the way the economy works so that we all get the benefits of all this automation. So, how might you do that? You would spread the benefits of productivity increases to everyone. You would not let it all flow up to the CEO, who’s making five hundred million dollars a year or whatever ridiculous number they make. You would spread it out to everyone. You would break that concentration of wealth. You would increase pay for everybody. You would start reducing the workweek. You would actually say hey, this 40 hour workweek we’ve had it forever let’s make it 35, then 30, then 20 until we’re all on perpetual vacation. ~Marshall Brain Founder of HowStuffWorks, host of “Factory Floor with Marshall Brain” on National Geographic, Director of the Engineering Entrepreneurs Program at NCSU Author of “Manna”

Everything is held together by sticks and glue. And only when we pressured to build bridges and skyscrapers do we squeeze out something. But I think humans are 99.9% heuristic driven. It’s really hard to escape. It is only puzzles and games with internal rules excised from background assumptions of mathematics or science or anything that true reason is manifest.
