I worked in the Casino business for almost 10 years as a dealer and Pit Boss. There is no such thing as luck. The odds of winning are always the same. 50/50. You either will or you won't. That applies to each hand of blackjack, roll of the dice, or spin of the roulette wheel. Just like with the coin toss, sometimes you'll win several times in a row. But then you can lose several times in a row just as easily. Yes, there are some strategies that can improve your odds of winning, but they are not guaranteed. Here's the thing to remember. You can't win if you don't bet. This also applies to everything in life. You cannot move forward unless you take the chance.

Things with A.I have progressed significantly, but deGrasse Tyson's point still stands. Even generative A.I, the closest to all purpose intelligence, is very limited ultimately in what it can do. The reason for this is because all these robots/A.I need significant power so it's impossible to combine them all into one machine like a Cylon and will likely remain that way for a very long time, if not ever. It would require some massive energy breakthrough of a huge amount of energy in one small space.

[@AJPemberton]

I'd add that a humanoid, generalised robot like a Cylon is also very unlikely to be common because we are not restricted in its form in the way humans have been restricted in our evolution. The only job I can think of for a robot that would benefit from looking like us is a sex/service robot, which does put a different slant on the Terminatior !

I don't quite agree with your energy or time scales. Hardware, firmware and software continue progressing (to date), minimizing energy needs and computing time, while improving potential and results. It's already more pervasive than you realize and will expand faster than you think., (much faster? ! ??).

[@AdamTondowsky]

@@VicVelez-tf8rd You're right, but to have an intelligent robot, you still need to combine several things: dexterity, senses and intelligence all into one body and all powered by some capability that isn't so heavy or big that that itself prevents the robot from operating. Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part, but unless we get to things like quantum computing that itself has been promoted by hype for many years, I suspect that diminishing returns will kick in before this highly intelligent robot is possible. Moore's law has been significantly slowing down.

I first became aware of Neil deGrasse Tyson long ago reading his column in Natural History magazine, the replacement of Steven Jay Gould as their resident philosopher-scientist (Well, actually they overlapped some), and was impressed with him then. I've seen quite a bit of him on KZbin, and though I'm not always in agreement, I'm still impressed. Interestingly, neither Gould nor Tyson spoke much of religion (Gould more often than Tyson, but still not often) and both called themselves, not atheists, but agnostics.

[@mickberry164]

"Whatever God is, God is not luck." So well said.

[@dandaintac388]

I'm not particularly worried about artificial intelligence for the same reason as Tyson. I think human-based stupidity is BY FAR, the bigger threat to humanity.

[@douglascutler1037]

There are subtle but significant philosophical distinctions between classic philosophical definitions of atheist and agnostic or scientific agnostic. In truth, the scientific agnosticism is closer to the actual scientific method itself. No theory is absolute. Any theory may be updated or oven overturned pending compelling new scientific evidence.

[@graydanerasmussen4071]

@@douglascutler1037 I think most of today's atheists describe their position as not being convinced of the existence of a god or gods. -Whereas quite a few religious people insist that we take the absolute stance of: "There are no gods", mostly because then we would also have a burden of proof. Well, we don't. Most of us recognize the problem of proving a negative in an incomplete dataset. The literal god of the bible, now... Yeah, he can't exist. Too many internal conflicts, moral, historical, logical etc...

[@fujow120000]

It’s very interesting what is cited as evidence vs belief. If you don’t witness something in person, with none of your senses obscured, you are trusting the people who are presenting the evidence to you. Even if that is the case, if you are witnessing something beyond your personal knowledge and experience, like an mri image of a brain, you are still trusting the expert who is explaining to you what it is you are seeing. Truth is a difficult thing to assess.

[@tommyboyuruguay]

If I could ever meet mr DeGrasse Tyson, I would love to inquire a bit further on his "terraforming" other planets idea. I've heard him explain many times this very logical idea that if we, as a species can or could terraform Mars, then we can terraform Earth back to being Earth... but I've never heard him explain from a technological stance, how close or far he thinks we are from being able to terraform anything, that geo-engineering he explains so well, is it something attainable or not?, are we remotely close to having that capacity?. That should be interesting to know I think.
