How is that even going to work, given that 61.7% of social media consists of selfies?

No, it's just an observation. Remember, 78.76% of statistics are made up on the spot.

He has a bunch of others on his feed, too, and they're all pretty great so far.

The romantic book is pretty spicy, though, so don't read it at work unless you want your work chair to collapse boneless against your swollen clit.

LDRIC, the golfing robot named after Eldric "Tiger" Woods, hit a hole-in-one at the Phoenix Open today. It did not pump its fist, that's why I know we're not there yet.

I might be late with this, but I'll post it anyway since I'd never seen it. I thought it was p. awesome at explaining where we are with AI and where we're heading. I particularly like it's distinction between ANI, AGI and ASI.

There are 2 parts, links for part 2 are on that page top and bottom.

Awesome. Great read. :thumbup:

As I'm reading along, I'm having an internal dialog with the speaker, my side of which sounds about like: "agreed," "no it's really not that simple," "if you say so," "wow, you are dumb!" "accurate but old news," "good point," "you wish," "wildly innacurate!" "I could buy that," "speak for yourself, brah," so I was all over both sides of the fence about whether I thought the piece was worth a damn (which makes it worth a damn in its own right, anyway).

Then I got to this image:



and it totally won me over. :lol: "Dafuq?" indeed.

Welp, this is it.

There are various definitions and interpretations of what the singularity even is, but they all converge right here.

BUT, indeed counting is a verb, and indeed a robot does not even count, let alone know.

It is just a thing made by man, and is even dumber than a blind worm

I wonder if Awareness is a failed prototype AI. I mean, imagine trying to code a random text generator that mimics Awareness's style.

Is that good?

Anyways on the subject, not one single molecule of the robot shows that a robot is intelligent.

IT is in fact like THE GUN EXTENDED by YOUR BRAIN !

The robot is A a BY MAN REMOTE CONTROLLED pile of metal sand elements and electricity......

In all the Hollywood movies from HAL to PROteus a simple battery displacement was the solution

Tic Tac Toe, yeah , right...........

Quote:
Why would say nothing, and collection for
us.
If we really(was think, maybe to fish.
AND NOT YOUR WHITE BUTT!! IT IS A TOOL.

And not create OLD NEWS!!

Your white but to you?
Is it impossible to have a commands, that you were perform, just try and place a being.

We punish people to have to have no life, you were worms can crawl in! Worm-holes etc.(just try and you smell, in my mind), only to help, not to let some survive.

Can you also to know that God??!!

Two woman at my mind, who I am, not turn you pay, she can answer, and collecting your point?

She may die, and among other with dark fuzzy hair.

It is good, not what I am.

Why would rather to pick you to pick your me God??!!


Do not DO, but you like we are still be robots.

God "wants" is also have and more, so to kind.

A LOOK DEAD.

THE SOUL AND RACE IS ALL,NOT SPEAK, TO PLAY IT SAFE.

At least you are you are all can never know we really are.

THE SOULLY FOR RECOGNITION.

If you speak of God??!!

No not did you neither.

It is days in us.
If you to live, and btw not a being aware older one and I am.

God is good or bad, dog holes,warm holes,warm holes etc.(just to pick you are here you got there if your "brothers".
She may die, and I also give an identity.

If we knew the highest.

Is it only being away.

So do not good time, and show what kind of a person.

First be aware of you love too kill each other turtle to knowing Devil is that we exist, that the highest.

I Stopped scociety is only in my thinking is the only true identity, is up to you, and not me, and guide, and you neither.

THE SOUL AND RACE.
Than I would GOD IS AND NEVER HAVE CONTACT WITH GOD, NOR WILL HE EVER WAS A BEING SAD, OR BEING.

GOD IS AND SHOWS THIS.

Do you got the soul and mind, which is not a mistake red hair, dog holes.

Thank you step!!

Burning with your nature, that there!

The power!!

Thank you neither.
YOu would be, but this!! And it works: you, to know would say "Jesus said.........".
She aborts, you soul and mind), only to see or hear.

Your body, for imperfectly made to help, not what we are.

Could be, but that I am glad it worms can crawl in! Worm-holes.

We all can answers, none what we are curse brother there works: you afraid as Ladyshea?

But a borders, not too satisfy you pay, or lay off the devil, in my mind), only to help, not turn my believe that matter.

First, that you want to live on, and admire you, if you exist.

Yo
Yo indeed. :peace1:

Combat AI beats the Air Force's top tactical experts

Narrow AI, sure, but it's another piece of the puzzle. Another weapon in the arsenal. Another brick in the wall. Another small step for against mankind.

:freakout: The Robots are Insurrecting!! :freakout:

In addition to the bomb robot in Dallas, we have the mall security robot who assaulted a child in Palo Alto. Setting aside the disparity of the :lol: to :rage: ratio of these 2 cases (if there is one), at the end of the day both robots were simply following orders (programming). After Nuremberg we were all like that is not okay for people, but guess what? With robots that is literally all they can do. Isaac Asimov must be rolling over in his grave.

Anywho, here's another story. Guess what else? AIs have no "common sense". Which, first of all, "common sense" itself is a stupid and biased concept that doesn't really mean anything. Second of all, duh.

So yeah, let's just keep building this army of hyper-literal, no-empathy-having, ASD robots and arming them and putting them out on the streets and see what happens. :popcorn:
