But that isn't the problem there. They are just plain weird.

That's almost an understatement.

Controlling AI Weapons May Be Impossible, Warns Former US Secretary of State

https://futurism.com/the-byte/controlling-ai-weapons-impossible

Kill Switch

AI arms control is all “fun and games” until someone accidentally recreates Skynet.

When looking to the future we can’t ignore the possibility of a potential artificial intelligence arms race as nations rush to outpace one another. That’s exactly the sort of future that former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is afraid of. Speaking last Thursday at a three-day event celebrating the opening of a new school of computing at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Kissinger warned that AI weapons might become harder to control than nuclear ones. Such systems will be developed in secrecy leading to a dangerous arms race, as Kissinger said according to MIT Tech Review, “With AI, the other side’s ignorance is one of your best weapons—sharing will be much more difficult.”

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I was watching a vid where they were using very high resolution satellite cameras that could help identify a person by the shape of their head, the type of clothes they wore, the car they were driving, etc. Analyzing people from the top down.

Robot 'GOD': AI version of Buddhist deity to preach in Japanese temple

 
Japan: Robot modelled after Buddhist deity gives its first speech
 
The humanoid robot is modeled after Kannon Bodhisattva, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. The robot’s name is Mindar and it gave its first speech on the Heart Sutra, a key scripture in Buddhist teaching. The Japan Times reported that the teachings spoken by the robot offer a path to "overcome all fear, destroy all wrong perceptions and realise perfect nirvana.”

The CIA used to be able to tell which of the Soviet big bosses were in town by their golf bags.. that was years ago. The resolution has only improved.

OpenAI withholds its latest research fearing societal impact

https://www.artificialintelligence-news.com/2019/02/15/openai-latest-research-societal-impact/

OpenAI has decided not to publish its latest research fearing its potential misuses and the negative societal impact that would have.

The institute, backed by the likes of Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, developed an AI which can produce convincing ‘fake news’ articles.

Articles produced by the AI writer can be on any subject and merely require a brief prompt before it gets to work unsupervised.

The AI scrapes data from ~8 million webpages and solely looks at those posted to Reddit with a ‘karma’ of three or more. That check means the article resonated with some users, although for what reason it cannot be sure.

Often, the resulting text – generated word-by-word – is coherent but fabricated. That even includes ‘quotes’ used in the article.

IOW, AI is catching up on CNN and MSNBC.  I'd be worried if I was a reporter, too.

I'll prolly get one of these  ****slapping for this. So be it.


Error 404 (Not Found)!!1


("This is all so new...")
("It's not new. I realized that nothing we've been doing is new.
We haven't been tapping into new areas of the brain,
we've just been awakening the most ancient.
This technology is simply a route to powers
that conjurers and alchemists used centuries ago.")1: The Lawnmower Man 1992

We're seeing an exponential growth in all machines and innovations
As technology surpasses and exceeds our limitations
Implications could be serious and many past and present futurists
Have been warning us for years about the consequences
Massive repercussions, we see the evidence, dependence
On our internet and phones and games and television
Losing independence, as we've immersed ourselves in working
All our fingers to the bones for corporations
We give them back our paychecks for the latest and the greatest
Plastic upgrades, name brand products, and replacements
And build their databases investing hours of our own free time
Uploading information used against us
To target us with market advertising toward our interests
Collecting information used to monitor our senses
Correcting anyone who won't comply or be connected
How long before a mandatory microchip's injected?
 
[Hook:]
It's the age old lie, the promise of utopia
The carrot on the stick, the empty cornucopia
Technological hive mind dystopia
What will arise is a time of robophobia
 
It's an emerging type insurgence, converging and been burgeoning
And churning, slowly bursting to the surface; it's concerning every person
And confirming every warning, the disturbing thought, we're working
Toward a single mind that's merging and converting us to downloadable versions
Of ourselves inside a full immersion, universal simulated virtual reality
Where every living earthling's neural pathways are inspected mandatorily
And connected using voice-to-skull telepathy
Absorbing data, fingerprints, to play us back like instruments
Manipulating just like we're puppets of ventriloquists
Remote controlling human beings like Ouija boards
Coursing through the veins like circuit boards
Record the sounds of every vocal chord
Moving exponentially towards a singularity
Eventually we won't distinguish magic from technology
And robots will unplug from electricity, no longer using batteries
But powered like a golem, using alchemy
 
[Hook]
 
Slowly manipulate genetically our DNA collectively
Infecting every living organism and directing every
Intersecting thought and every memory and vision
Inspecting our opinions and collecting our decisions
A digital technocracy emerging as philosophy
Inserting thought police patrols and mind control technology
Removing private property, enforcing thought bureaucracy
Reducing every freedom and pursuit of life and liberty
Consistently expanding all their terms and their conditions
With minimum requirements and maximum restrictions
Creating unknown problems to offer fake solutions
To complicate the system till there's nothing but confusion
Depicting anyone who won't conform as unacceptable
Demanding everyone to all agree and not be skeptical
Eventually connecting every mind from every nation
Fulfilling prophecy from Genesis to Revelation
 
[Hook]
 
("Even with all these new abilities, there are dangers.")

and now I'm reclaiming it through virtual reality.")

Amazon is coming out with a robot, Amazon Vesta. IMO it will probably be the most advanced home robot we've ever seen.

Of course, I've been wrong about these things before.

The sidebrush on my Roomba 650 stopped moving and a replacement part didn't work either. From Google, it seems it's probably motherboard damage. So I bought a Roomba 675. I wanted an I7 but my wife would have killed me to spend that much.

The 675 does a good job on our floors.

I don't have a problem with ANI robots. They are developing robots that can pick crops. You get a robot that can pick broccoli and strawberries there wouldn't be any huge need to have people coming over the border to do those jobs Americans won't.

It is when you start applying AGI to control people that I have the problem. That is what their ultimate goal is. A police surveillance state (IMO). And ASI will be the worst because I don't think they can control it. They might not be able to control AGI yet. What we read in the news is all old hat.

The thing is is that whoever wins the AI race could rule the cyber world. Which is about the whole damn pie.

Cybersecurity is really going to be a problem. I posted an article here.

I have 2 cats, one a tabby and one fluffy that sheds a lot. The downstairs roomba 530 has lasted since I bought it in 2008, it still gets the floor clean. Every few weeks I have to take off the side brush and unwind hairs.

Basically all I do is press 2 buttons. Beats vacuuming.
