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
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
Like maybe say, do I have a thermometer? yes, place thermometer on plate, what temperature does thermometer report?, is plate hot? is plate cold?, or No, I do not have thermometer... there's a whole world of possibilities with neural networks, but they all need to be given instructions, and a data set to work with
Just like a human I guess, how would a human ever know what a thermometer does without reading about it, or another human explaining it to them, the learning process.. lol
That's why I find all these AI will destroy the world arguments stupid, I'm sorry, if terrorists didn't have arms and legs... they're of no threat to anybody, even if they do say they're going to blow you up
But your bog standard cpu and gpu can't think like that, they have to follow it step by step, so there's problems that a cpu would take much longer to solve in terms of processing time than a neural network would
A program running on a standard computer, couldn't "keep it in mind", say a futuristic example, a personal helper robot, tasked with safety and housekeeping, if a normal CPU was tasked with this and it was preoccupied with doing the washing, really badly.. I might say.. it probably wouldn't notice the man breaking in through the window until the washing is complete... lol
But the goal with AI is to make it learn, because what makes something intelligent, it's ability to learn and retain information.. why artificial neurons seems the way to go
Step by step just doesn't work with the learning process
There's always something that's going to have to be kept in mind so to speak when doing tasks that require a level of thought even if not directly related to the task at hand
Another example, a programmer programming... is there electricity in the meter (kinda obvious prerequisite even if not directly related to task), am I hungry (definitely a prerequisite), am I thirsty, what do I have to do today other than programming, is my house safe.. then whatevers happening on my computer, who's talking to me right now (not to be an antisocial), my computers running slowly, what tasks can I kill, what do I need to open in order for me to start programming, is my internet bill paid... a step by step program would fail miserably trying to "think" about all this at the same time
and off of all of those things, there's a whole new tree of questions to be asked.. that's where your artificial neurons would come into play to manage this style of processing information
