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

concerning this guy's education prowess, it shouldnt be a problem here

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

making a computer think like a human, and they even connect with PCI-e! how mad is that! lol

but they're ungodly expensive..

They're not available to the general public, you need to contact the manufacturer to have one made

those chipsets are literally gpu derivatives, are they not?

like the new amd ai chip set

Not really.. they contain artificial neurons in a way..

Kinda replicating something similar to how a human brain works

Like it sort of generates it's own flow chart, think of a simple problem, is the plate hot?, one question could be a whole possibility of evidence "options" to draw a conclusion with, step one might contain something like, is steam coming from said plate, is plate hot to the touch, is plate cold to the touch, and then a yes or no conclusion can be drawn from that

step one could contain much more than that to solve that problem, that's the artificial neurons that would contain that data in what's kinda like a multi dimensional array
