ELON: HUMANOID ROBOTS WILL BE THE BIGGEST PRODUCT EVER AND LEAD TO UNIVERSAL HIGH INCOME

[Into the Night]

Mostly no, but it is guided by programmers.

It is written and maintained by programmers, Wally.

Most modern AI is formed through evolutionary processes. It creates itself.

It does not create itself, Wally.

The process is guided by a programmer, but the AI is not written by a programmer.

AI is written and maintained by programmers.

The problem with this is it is a black box.

It is not a black box. It is a computer program.

 

[Into the Night]

You assume that robots will be built and maintained by humans, and not other robots.

They ARE build and maintained by humans.

The whole point of automation is to produce more with less people.

Nope. It is simply to produce more for less time and money. Every manufacturing line requires people to run it and maintain it.

If done right, we all have more stuff, with much less work. If done wrong, we are cut out of the economy, and are forgotten.

Obviously you are unskilled and this frightens you. Well, you put yourself in your own prison to whine about your predicament.

Want better pay? Go out and make yourself worth something to somebody.

 

[Truck Fump / h1b]

No, you haven't broken any bindings by Satan. You are still filled with hate.

you don;t know anything about it, globalit traitor Elon cocksuck boy.

 

[Diogenes]

you don;t know anything about it, globalit traitor Elon cocksuck boy.

Think about it. You could buy a sexbot. It could even correct your spelling.

 

[Into the Night]

Buzzword fallacies. Go learn English.

 

[Walt]

Think about it. You could buy a sexbot. It could even correct your spelling.

There was a story about a man who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a virtual AI girlfriend. Apparently, they are training these AI's to do whatever it takes to take as much of your money as possible.

I would think having a sexbot would be an addictive behavior, and quite possibly a destructive behavior.

I have no evidence of this yet. This is just a hunch. I am just trying to warn you(general plural), so take it for what it is worth.

Was there?

I have no evidence of this.

When has that ever stopped you?

 

[Diogenes]

Speak for yourself.

 

[Walt]

Speak for yourself.

I would have given you the same advice about the prescription opioids. I was right that time.

I might be wrong this time. It is impossible to be certain.

 

[Diogenes]

I would have given you the same advice about the prescription opioids.

I don't recall using prescription opioids., Salty.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

...annnnnd another Lulddite. Did you know that robots will have to be built and maintained? That's more jobs then ever, Wally.
So is teaching them and programming them.

Until the robots can build, program, and maintain themselves...

 

[Diogenes]

Until the robots can build, program, and maintain themselves...

Think that's likely to happen in your lifetime?

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Think that's likely to happen in your lifetime?

Probably not, but who knows? We are in the midst of a technological revolution like the Industrial Age. In the Electronics Age--the Information Age is a misnomer as the information has always been there just not always accessible--the rate of change in technology is accelerated where it's possible that within a few decades that--AI can self-replicate--is possible.

It's like GMO's on an exponential scale where each new generation is merely weeks or months in occurring.

I suspect you might be correct.

You prefer the blow up dolls, eh?

 

[Into the Night]

That's actually not possible.

That's a bit like you diagnosing and performing your own surgery on yourself.

You've been watching too many movies. You're starting to think it's real.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

It is possible. Self-replicating machines are a possibility. That is, like organic life, they have the capacity to make more of themselves and evolve. There's nothing that prevents machines, given they have the existing programming, from doing this. Once they have such programming, and the means to make more of themselves, they can and that's where they will.

It's no more unrealistic than telling someone in the 18th century that machines could make parts in repetition without human intervention (eg., NC and CNC machines).

When I look back at the promise of the internet circa 1995 and then look at what it became I am not filled with the warm fuzzies.

 

[Hawkeye10]

Humans are most certainly NOT better.
