DailyDirt: No 9000 Computer Has Ever Made A Mistake Or Distorted Information…
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
The “Singularity” describes a future when technology obtains superhuman intelligence — and when people won’t be able to outwit their technological creations. So far, humans have lost to computers playing chess and Jeopardy! (and a few other games) — but machines aren’t our overlords just yet. Here are a few more datapoints pointing to better and better artificial intelligence.
- Artificial intelligence projects are slowly encroaching into the fields of science.. and law. We’ll have to automate the creation of bad lawyer jokes to keep up. [url]
- Ray Kurzweil predicts automated language translations that are as good as human translations by the year 2029 I predict there will be exponential growth of hilariously bad translated text in 2030. [url]
- Workplace robots could be more helpful if they just had better machine vision. Industrial robots could expand beyond repetitive tasks if they could see and recognize changes. [url]
- Maybe we can distract our future computerized masters by pitting them against each other (playing Ms Pac-Man?). The only winning move is not to play… [url]
- To discover more interesting robot-related content, check out what’s currently floating around the StumbleUpon universe. [url]
By the way, StumbleUpon can recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.

That can’t be right, he said musicians evolved. Apparently he doesn’t know the musicians from the RIAA.
I’m assuming any computer anywhere outwitting my mother?
I’m assuming any computer anywhere outwitting my mother doesn’t count?
Re: Re:
Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about… your mother.
Re: Re: Re:
Micheal WTF are you talking about ?????
(were they ‘single’ words).
A single word cannot be a ‘description’
Michael what is the implication of the statement you made?
You can use “MULTIPLE” words to explain it if you like.
Michael describle in sigle words ANYTHING FREAKING THING ?
Oh what you cant do that, oh my you had better have a long talk to your mother…………
Here are some single words for you, but they do not describe my mother (deceased) or father (deceased). But probably quite well explains yourself…
Mr HO..
Moron
idiot
troll
fool
wanker
dick
fuckwit
shall I continue?, or have you got the point (apart from the one on your head)!!!
Re: Re: Re: Re:
Darryl,
Either you’ve never see the movie Blade Runner.. or you’ve just failed the Voigt-Kampff test… or you have a really strange sense of humor….

My previous comment is just a quote from that movie… and it was for Strawbear.
In answer to your query, these questions are written down for me….
Re: Re: Re:2 Re:
“My previous comment is just a quote from that movie”
Original !!!!
Yes, I have seen blade runner, but I have never bothered to memorize is word for word, I guess I have a life instead !
And I thought the HAL 9000 was from a DIFFERENT Movie!!!!
I’ll give you are computer quote from a movie “THE DISH”
regarding their navigation computer (for Apollo 11)
“are we stuffed ??” ….. “Yep, were stuffed”
Oh, and I upset someone’s sensitivities !!! oh dear, go crying home did you ??
I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.
HAL = IBM
I wonder if anyone here has worked out that
HAL 9000
+1 (char/number) = IBM 9001
That Kubric !!!! what will he think off next !!!
H + 1 = I
A + 1 = B
L + 1 = M
9000 + 1 = 9001
"Singularity"
Within the context of a broad evolutionary model for which there is good evidence the “singularity” is better considered as a “phase transition” to the next stage in nature’s on-going life process.
This model is very informally discussed in “The Goldilocks Effect: What Has Serendipity Ever Done For Us?” (free download in e-book formats from the “Unusual Perspectives” website)
HAL = IBM
Both Clarke and Kubrick have gone on record saying that the HAL/IBM connection is coincidence and it actually stands for Heuristic ALgorithm, which incidentally is the basis of a lot of current machine learning programs.
