Nonsense. We'll just buy our own attack robots, and the open carry laws will
be amended to say that we can be accompanied by them at all times.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Rise of the machines?
It's about time someone raised a non-hysterical voice about all of this AI
stuff. Hinton is absolutely correct in his last sentences in this article --
people have much more to fear from other people than they do from AIs.
I find it fascinating how much of an *emotional* issue this -- the idea of
machine sentience -- is for many people. For many of them it's a religious
thang, in that they actually believe that creating intelligent life is
something reserved for God...who doesn't exist. But for many others I think
it's almost a racial/ethnic fear. For them, shiny robots have taken the place
in their catalog of Things To Fear alongside people they consider niggers and
ragheads.
I guess it's a trend. Intelligent minds find ways to become more intelligent,
and small minds find ways to become even smaller.

I don't know whether you got a chance to see the movie I raved about recently,
Ex Machina. IMO it's the most intelligent film about AI I've ever seen.
The quirk that makes it most interesting is that one can view the Turing Test
being conducted in the film two different ways -- either as a test performed by
humans on an AI to determine whether it's truly sentient (and thus worthy of
continuing to live), or the opposite...the exact same test, performed on humans
by the AI.

Hinton is absolutely correct in his last sentences in this article -- people have much more to fear from other people than they do from AIs. I find it fascinating how much of an *emotional* issue this -- the idea of machine sentience -- is for many people. For many of them it's a religious thang, in that they actually believe that creating intelligent life is something reserved for God...who doesn't exist. But for many others I think it's almost a racial/ethnic fear. For them, shiny robots have taken the place in their catalog of Things To Fear alongside people they consider niggers and ragheads. I guess it's a trend. Intelligent minds find ways to become more intelligent, and small minds find ways to become even smaller. I don't know how likely it is even though it's obviously possible. I think a big fear is that we really do make ourselves obsolete. We might create something better than us that considers us worthless or at least a subordinate system. We've done it already, society is a complex emergent system that depends on us but we sacrifice ourselves to it to keep it alive. Think how much more powerful a worldwide robotic brain would be in keeping us in our place! Perhaps the only robot code we need is to make sure we can pull out the plug? Or even something that can replace the job we do would be scary. And then there's autonomous battle machines, that's only going to end in tears but it isn't stopping them being built. But perhaps the biggest fear is a philosophical one. If we can create a cyber brain that works exactly the same way as ours that must definitively mean that we are simply our brains and there is no soul or spirit. That might hurt a lot of people more than unemployment or Skynet ever could. I don't know whether you got a chance to see the movie I raved about recently, Ex Machina. IMO it's the most intelligent film about AI I've ever seen. The quirk that makes it most interesting is that one can view the Turing Test being conducted in the film two different ways -- either as a test performed by humans on an AI to determine whether it's truly sentient (and thus worthy of continuing to live), or the opposite...the exact same test, performed on humans by the AI. I have it in my awareness to watch, sounds interesting. I know humans that fail the Turing test though, perhaps we'd be better off without them. Maybe that's what it's ultimately for! We all have to measure up to Alan Turing or it's off to the processing plant. There's a brave new world coming I think... I'm way behind on my movies. I only got to see Prometheus the other day when it got to TV. Can't imagine what else I've missed. My trouble is the library never gets decent modern films in to rent and Blockbusters shut down because people prefer to download everything.

One of the things that most people don't know is that the famous Turing Test
evolved from a party game proposed by Alan Turing. The game was similar to what
we now imagine a robotic Turing Test to be, in that the party guests were to be
separated so they couldn't see each other visually and could communicate only
via written technology, such as a typewriter (or now, a computer). The issue
Turing was interested in when he first thought up the idea, however, was
whether someone could tell whether the person they were communicating with was
*male* or *female*. He later expanded the concept and applied it to AI in his
famous 1950 paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence.
I think that this historical factoid is quite interesting, given what we know
now, that Turing was gay, at a time that made him a candidate for prison for
being so.
I also find it interesting, given my fondness for Ex Machina and the really
surprising (to me) reaction that a number of women I know had to it. The film
*seriously* pushed their feminist buttons, so much so that they *hated* it.
Part of the issue is that the robot/AI being tested in the film is given the
appearance of a female, and is unfortunately not always treated properly. So
they saw the film as yet another misogynist epic in which men flout their power
over women.
Even though I tried -- and with women who were all computer scientists and
should know better -- I couldn't get them to see the validity of my position re
the film. That is, that the AI named Ava *HAS* no gender. It just has a
presentation layer that makes it *appear* to be female.
I'm way behind on my movies. I only got to see Prometheus the other day when it

gets decent modern films in to rent and Blockbusters shut down because people

I don't think you've missed much. I have seen some good TV series in the last
couple of years, but *really* have to stretch to think of a good film I've seen
in that time. Ex Machina is the first really good one I've seen in ages. I'm
looking forward to seeing Mad Max: Fury Road, but sadly for some reason it's
playing only in one theater with only one performance a day, and I have to wait
until the crowds let up.

I'd like to know what he might have had in mind for telling the difference between us. I think a lot of the differences are cultural and things have changed since his day. The heavy drinking ladette culture among young women these days would have seemed most unappealing in Britain in Turing's day. And the portrayal of women as smart and efficient and men as merely dim and barely functioning sperm donors in every TV sitcom and advert must be a reflection on how enough people to make a difference actually want to see themselves. But then I remember a discussion about women when the banking crisis happened in 2008, it was said that it wouldn't have if women had been in control. Instantly the accusation went up that women must not be as good at making money generally, lacking the necessary killer instincts obviously. How can we tell the difference between innate behaviour and socially acceptable and expected responses that change over time? Or do women change their behaviour to fit in with this man's world? I think there are obvious set differences but we are on a continuum with more blending of roles than extreme blokeish or girlishness. Turing's test might come up with more wrong hits than expected these days. I'm way behind on my movies. I only got to see Prometheus the other day when it got to TV. Can't imagine what else I've missed. My trouble is the library never gets decent modern films in to rent and Blockbusters shut down because people prefer to download everything.

I'm looking forward to seeing Mad Max: Fury Road, but sadly for some reason it's playing only in one theater with only one performance a day, and I have to wait until the crowds let up. Prometheus was disappointing. It undermined the excellence of the original Alien film and was full of typical monster movie cliches like the scientists who looked like they'd abandoned lucrative career's as swimwear models to study archaeology. And the pointlessly aggressive and dysfunctional crew members that no one in their right mind would include on a scientific mission. It looked good though and left itself room for a sequel. And it's always good to see the Isle of Skye. From: salyavin808 no_re...@yahoogroups.com To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2015 7:57

Re: [FairfieldLife] Rise of the machines?
Google is like a big kitchen where they bake all kinds of ideas. Some of them come out half baked too. When I see articles like these I look at from a different perspective than about 98% of the populace. If you've worked in management in a successful corporation you know these articles are the result of your PR department. IOW, it's not that some reporter is running around trying to find out what Google is doing but that that Google PR people set this up so that reporters could write about it since it helps the stock price. IOW, the world isn't really what it seems. ;-) On 05/25/2015 10:57 PM, salyavin808 wrote: Brain upgrades on the way at the very least... it's like we actually want to make ourselves obsolete!
