Like that Goetzel guy? lol

The singularity is debunked

He's Machine controlled opposition

because there are a lot of perfect conditions lining up where, if you look back on how technology developed, you start to think "whoah, what are the odds of that"

I think you're retconning technology

for example, a lot of neural networking tech wouldn't be possible today if it weren't for video games

also, bitcoin is involved in this as well

'Perfect'. Gice me fusion power and I will bwlieve whatever you want.

because the proliferation of parallel processing came from an arms race between graphics card developers

So what you are saying is.

Gamers made the modern world.

I think you're looking back on tech, and seeing the development process as 'perfect' for what it led us to, not being able to comprehend other paths that we may not even be aware are currently possible

This is known.

not only that, but the models for constructing AI and testing it has really come from those proto-AIs interating with human players in those games

@Fitzydog maybe, it's just a fun conspiracy theory

Yeah, kind of like the Joe Rogan 'cocoon theory' lol

But without video games, I don't see what industry would have spurred the proliferation of parallel processing

Look if we honestly did accidentally figure out AI, we made it too retarded to be viable. We can't even figure out why WE are intelligent.

It wouldn't have happened nearly as quickly through scientific pursuits

It was probably all inevitable

Everything is.

but that's just one example

What will happen, will happen.

Well, anyways, the one on one discussion was good, but I g2g

there's also a lot of interesting new things being developed in the next iteration of programming languages, which have marketed individual uses, but combined have a lot of utility towards machine learning models outside of the current generation of neural networks

so it's going to be very interesting to see where that goes

Fitzy is hungry for more trap cock

Machine learning is sort of shit though.

It's impressive at first I think.

Yes! Which is why it's all so exciting, because there's so much potential work to be done

But then you realize... Oh. It's just luck of the draw over and over again.

No a lot of predictive models are very successful

they are integrated in everything you do online

I'm not talking about predictive models.

well they use machine learning to make predictive models and offer suggestions

it's the #1 killer app that it is currently being used for, from commercial stuff to STEM stuff

By the way, machine learning that gives us shit like Alexa, can really infuriate me. Because you realize, by Alexa's responses, thatshe either A) adaptedto judge you as retarded, or B) so many retards use Alexa that she has learned to be retarded from them.

yeah the problem is that when the suggestions become too influential, the tail begins to wag the dog

Always irritates me when Alexa cannot do a simple fucking search for me for my literal words without citing Wikipedia on something totally unrelated.

but welcome to politics

most people are robots anyway

I hve to think, "How do retards ask questions?" And then THAT QUESTION goes into the feedback loop too, haunting me in the future.
