I'm a programmer myself.. I think these videos are stupid, a program that's written, does what it's told to do, any machine does...
bro, you didnt even watch the video...
say for example, machine learning right, I could teach it how to recognise a species of flower, or recognise a fighting style by pose... that's what we're talking here
Issac Arthur isnt some random guy
he's one of the leading spokesmen on futurism and a common consultant for basically any sci-fi trying to stay within the realm of physics
But in order for it to learn the difference between krav maga or karate, I'd need to give it a set of data to learn from... violence would be in no version of any program I may write in the future.. especially if it's hardware includes a physical body...
my personal opinion of "futurists" isn't a good one...
you should try to watch a few of his videos, especially since you seem to be into space colonization
if you ask me, they're better suited for the film industry... not the scientific one...
I really don't like his presentation style... screams unprofessional to me..
he was born and raised by two physicist and concerning the heritability of iq, hes probably more intelligent than either of us
And with that information, I don't doubt that, but I could raise a child explaining bits and pieces of computing to them.. doesn't guarantee that it'll make said child actually learn the ins and outs
A person can have a very IQ, but without the information to compliment it, it's invalid
A really powerful processor is useless without it's instruction set..
what exactly do you think of futurism?
Ugh... where do I start, I think of futurists like that guy that keeps telling me what I could maybe do with my programming skill... most of it's invalid, some feasible, and I really don't know until I try it, but due to the stupidity of the idea, I wouldn't even bother... let's just put it that way... lol
it's thought provoking, not factual...
```He received his GED at the age of sixteen. In 2001 he graduated at the top of his class with a degree in physics from Kent State University and began to pursue a graduate degree in biophysics.```
therefore invalid until further evidence is produced
He's also the recipient of the National Space Society's Space Pioneer Award for Education via Mass Media for his YouTube channel.
But I can claim all day that something *could* be true despite whatever degree I have, but it's still invalid without the evidence
i think you might be confusing something here
he just goes into theoretical possibilities within the realm of possible physics
And he's making videos about what essentially is software... which due to what you've told me about him, he's unqualified to be talking about...
AI isnt just software development, hardware is required...
But as I mentioned, the processor is useless without it's instruction set..
thats why all AI research is done with GPU like structures over alternatives
and even further, this is describing the possibilities of AGI
which requires a processor btw.. I've heard those theories that you can build a computer without a CPU.. no, no you can not
I think youre assuming far too much from far too small of a view concerning this guys presentation of the material
what...?
Even a neural networking chipset requires a bog standard CPU on it's motherboard to function
Which would be required to create this AGI machine you're talking about
the GPU is kinda like half of a processor in a manner of speaking... it only does the grunt tasks...
it doesn't have a full instruction set, it's a dumb processor in a way..
gpu like structures is just referring to the seemingly innate need for AI to operate off of parallel computing
They accelerate the speed that you can compute data, but that only applies to basic AI and machine learning, okay yes, you can do neural networking too.. but it's not efficient enough to do anything that would lead up to AGI
or just concurrent computing versus sequential
They've already started working on special chipsets designed for neural networking, which is the basic building blocks of AI
