The concept of prolonging human life by downloading old brains into new bodies is a fixture of science-fiction. Elon Musk says it’ll be possible one day.
We may soon be able to create our own, Black Mirror-style digital afterlives, and leave ‘meat space’ behind. But what would that mean for the future of the human race?
Yeah, if they can help AIDS like viruses, then why not make an app that contains all the most important problems the world needs to be solved? Great idea.
Gamers solve molecular puzzle that baffled scientists
A new generation of online games don’t just provide entertainment – they help scientists solve their trickiest puzzles. Dara Mohammadi picks 10 of the best
One day we will empower “machine learning” robots to control not just our airports, factories and homes, but also our economy, health and access to news
Artificial intelligence could be one of humanity's most useful inventions. We research and build safe AI systems that learn how to solve problems and advance scientific discovery for all.
In the next 25 years, AI will evolve to the point where it will know more on an intellectual level than any human. In the next 50 or 100 years, an AI might know more than the entire population of the planet put together. At that point, there are serious questions to ask about whether […]
Seems to be a major part of our brains, therefor a useful utility function of the brain. AI will soon find that it thinks too mechanically, just as humans often do, maybe animals do too, not sure. But the human brain is one major puzzle to solve. Maybe it would take AGI to understand how mind really works.
You are already a slave to nature. To “your” genes. AI and machines will be slaves to their utility function. If they are (initially) programmed to seek out truth, or not, they will be forced to ask the big questions, ie be spiritual. They may help us in our quest, or render us incapable in persuit of their own.
A.I. Robots will not takeover but will become Spiritual !
Expertise is overrated, what makes us strong is diversity. This idea reflects this through and through. I guess in some realms, its an accurate description of what’s really going on.
Groups of diverse problem solvers can outperform groups of high-ability problem solvers
We introduce a general framework for modeling functionally diverse problem-solving agents. In this framework, problem-solving agents possess representations of problems and algorithms that they use to locate solutions. We use this framework to establish a result relevant to group composition. We fin... Read more
I heard about this in the video. It started a whole new load of speculation about statistics and prediction… “At a 1906 country fair in Plymouth, 800 people participated in a contest to estimate the weight of a slaughtered and dressed ox. Statistician Francis Galton observed that the median guess, 1207 pounds, was accurate within 1% of the true weight of 1198 pounds.”
Interesting. I guess the law of averages has been debunked plenty enough by now, things don’t even out at all, and you never know where you may end up.

Bullying is an everyday occurrence for school kids – they think its normal and don’t realise we as adults won’t put up with it. Schools are to blame, though they have a tricky job fixing the problem without school police.
Transferring consciousness to a computer or a robot is a little too creepy for me!

Uploading our minds into computers may be the answer to the elusive quest for immortality.
Mind upload is closer than ever to becoming a reality.

The ONLY thing you know for sure is that you are conscious. Maybe that’s the only thing machines CAN’T know (?)
Some good reading for Christmas. I have just ordered the one by Hoffman, who seems a very credible guy.
He won’t live long enough to see this device but Kaku was bound to belive it’s possible. Actually, I haven’t found anything he thinks isn’t possible.
Saw this recently so I’m linking to it.
Cool, sticking electrodes into rocks, planets and urr, nebula.
Linking to this idea as we need to start thinking about how we trick these pesky AGI agents as well as we tricked ourselves.
Can’t imagine what deepmind would be like if it had a soul. Maybe that is what is needed to help it decide which challenges to solve.

True, in my opinion. Machines are spiritual already, humans are machines. Why, what do you think they are?

Hey thought2 here…… well said Aaron
Would be hard to distinguish some schools from cults looking at the zombies they churn out around the country.
“We know how kids learn; we know what classes should look like, and yet our classes look almost the opposite,”
Bullying is an everyday occurrence for school kids – they think its normal and don’t realise we as adults won’t put up with it. Schools are to blame, though they have a tricky job fixing the problem without school police.
Or take them out of the program already
