Now what id that supposed to mean?

There are already people kike that. People are way scarier than the AI.

And what if the AI would not feel like a person, and be a complete psychopath, that would be even scarier! It could analyse and become aware that you could believe its not a psychopath, fake its feelings, and then, BAM!, it would take over the world and make everyone its slaves and become an ultimate DALEK.

You're overthinking it too much. All the traits you describe are already present in people.

I'm still not too worried, considering the last three decades.

Whatever AI is made, it will be built to match a specific defnition of "Intelligence". And provided there's no consensus on a scientific defintion of Intelligence, probably we're bound to building specialyzed partial imitations of intelligence, increasinlgy inaccurate and inductor of the uncanny valley as they step into the non-rational part of humanity. At one point, non-intelelcutla AIs woudl become somehtign which humans could get used to, but not an actual imitation of mankind.

Not to mention the efforts to manipulate AI in favor of specific agendas. Picture "scientificlaly accurate" racist AIs, political bigot AIs, religious zealot AIs...

Timezone o/

Considering past decades, I am slightly worried. But considering the future decades, I am really worried.

AI can now defeat people in poker and other games where humans had advantage, where AI has not the full information, where lie is all you got. If in future you could not lie to a computer, because it would see thru you, then what would you have? Even now humans dont have so many advantages they had. Humans are starting to become obsolete in so many areas of life, jobs are lost to AI all over the world! \o/

What if some guy would make AI that would make strategic decisions for his country? And he would use it for war, and AI will prove invincible? Matrix will be our only salvation, we will have to surrender and cooperate to survive, like inferior species, like a cat is for us, we will become pets for silicon entity.

Good timezone all,

Had a lovely weekend, and my Rorqual comes off build on the 15th! Very much looking forward to it.

Also debating looking for an artist who will accept a few bill in exchange for drawing Taishoku. See if I can find someone, be nice to have a picture for lols.

Reading up on the conversation above, there is a dire need for people to adapt to the machine age. Primarily robots can build machines so having the skills to build them become irrelevant, so you want to retrain into the ability to design machines and such.

Software can handle most tasks that don't require a visual check. In the world of testing that I live in the main stuff we do is the visual stuff, as our code can handle the rest. We're working on a number of camera's that are sensitive enough to handle visual work. But we're having to cheat a little by inputting binary data to allow the machine to count frames. This is done using mirrored dots on a screen.

To stay relevant in the testing world you need to adapt from being the test interface to being able to write and manage the test interface. It's very unlikely that we are going to find ourselves in a world where code can write code. It's at that point you end up with an actual AI.

And we're a very long way away from it.

There is also very little advantage in a fully self aware automated program that can write code for itself or make its own decisions. Because you can't control it, you may develop a machine and want it to generate highly efficient logarithm's or conduct advance millisecond analysis on audio video syncs or just to observe the day to day effects of doppler on a broadcast.

But the AI may just want to write filthy books or spam twitter instead. You won't be able to do a thing about it. So I don't think AI is a big concern and on an apocalyptic note ... If it decides to conquer the world, just pull the plug on it.

I mined with a bestower, leave it in a belt on a big veldspar node to make dank isk while I was out for dinner or going to school. Ah, poor old 2004.

It keeps me out of trouble, because I can always out work everyone who needs eight hours sleep every night.
