marlowe's theory

What about this. The computer revolution. No serious AI
scientist today deny that the computer will match the human
brain within 30 years(in just about actually). In hardware
supercomputers in 2009 match the human
brain(calculations/sec) and has done it for a while(today a
new pc match an insect). By scanning the human
brainstructures and patterns(the psysical design): there's a
destructive metode where the brainowner dies(used on a few
criminals by agreement insted of the ordinery execution) and
a later nondestructive one) - the software or intelligense
occur that match us because it's possible to use all the
hardware power. So in 2029 computers regularly pass a valid
Turing Test(a judge shall tell the computer from the human,
by asking questions) and computers has read all existing
litterature.

All in all life occur wheter in electrinic circuits or in
coalmatter circuits as with humans. Electronic circuits
though are a million times faster than the biological and
there's a very big amount of effort used in our biological
lifeform's hole basic structure just to secure the nessasary
stability so we wont die. Eventually we will melt together
with our tecnology and become immortel - in our lifetime.
It's logical that we will use a better design that evolution
gave us. The tecnological revolution afterall is the natural
consekvens of intelligent life and when it comes down to it,
pure evolution. The next 20 year is 400 year in todays
tempo. Dont believe it - read about it. Try for example Ray
Kursweil's When Computers Exeed The Human Intelligense, he
predigted the internet, the year Deep Blue would beat
Kasparov in chess and hundreds other things and evented the
scanner and a lot of other eventions. I dont read
sciencefiction - reality beats it by far. Sorry i havent got
a pic but i dont have a pc. Peace up you fucked up heads.

We still can't match Brains for storage. It's estimated the
average human brain can hold around 20 TB (tera-bytes) of
data. Nothing we have comes close in terms of physical
volume/storage capacity terms...

Eventually humanity will become part of one big machine all
linked by computers. The internet is just the beginning...

There are actually are things in the air at all times that
we can't see cause they move faster than our vision can
track them. For a while they thought they cause cancer...

I wonder if it was the Marlboro company who propositioned
that cancer theory? ;)

So much to respond too:

1: the Brain...no one knows anything concrete about the
brain. It's a whacky, mushy, ultracomplex organ of unknown
quality that scientist understand about as much as cavemen
understood fire. It's still this mysterious phenomenae that
people are trying to crack. And lets not even talk about the
emergent presence of the Mind/Ego. The fact that we are
self-aware, and that the Mind is self-aware, and that the
brain is self-aware, but we can't connect where the brain
stops being the human body and starts to become the
mind...*Boom* mu head explodes. Language and Ego and Emotion
and Perception...what are these funny animals? Us...yes, but
what does that mean?

Read Godel, Escher, Bach and also the Mind's Eye to confuse
yourself even further.

2: Reality is what we perceive it. If it's not perceptible
(directly or indirectly) can it truely affect us? We can't
see the wind, but we feel it, and we see the branches of the
tree moving. The fact that we feel the wind is real, but the
fact that the wind moves the tree is directly unfounded (no
one saw that crazy little monkey among all those leaves!!!)

3: Exsistance out of phase with time and space...if we don't
see them, and they exsist on the same physical plane, under
the same physical laws, as us, they probably can't see us.
What use would it be for them, and if we can't affect them,
how would they know we're here.
On the other hand...if our actions (electomagnetic fields
blooming at alarming rates across the planet, the presence
of nuclear reactors, etc.) affect them in unperceivable
ways...we may have already unknowingly wiped them out. Or
maybe they're doing something similar on their phase of
exsistance that drives us all violently irrational and is
responsible for all the wars out there?
Oh well, not much we can do...we should focus on the
creatures we can more directly see and affect, like whales
and monkeys and other people...

Priorities people, priorities...

Reality Is What You Can Get Away With

Deadwhitespoon: I agree 100%, the brain doesn't store 20tb
of data, that's B.S., its not translatable on those terms,
what's that mean I can memorize 1000 hours worth of high-res
video? cmon. We don't have a clue yet how/where the brain
creates consciousness, which would seem to be the most
fundamental aspect of our understanding.

"Read Godel. Escher, Bach..."

I'm about to...

Brace yourself Xantos! It's one of those tomes you just keep
reading and reading and reading!

Of course 100% worth the weight!

I have that book - really great read and mental challenge!!

Well but look at the facts. Computers has a perfect memory,
they can instantly recall every input/file they contain.
They can't forget and therefore only have to learn
everything once - today of course you have to do programing
for it to learn. They can share thoughts/data over the
internet by simply copying it.
Before Deepblue beated Kasparov you had to be intelligent to
play chess but suddently a dump computer beated him and now
it's not considered anything that genius to play chess. It's
possible to make computers do complex things like stock
investing that beats humans or to carry out very complicated
medical diagnosis more competent than the doctors, but still
impossible to make it ride a bike or built a tower of bricks
like every child can do. We humans can play tennis because
we know how to hit that ball. It would take a major effort
to make a robot play tennis well because of all the
precautions needed to be taken. Where at the field should it
run to, how hard to hit and what direction do the ball need
to beat the opponent. The human brain has neural networks so
it recognizes earlier situations like the one just
happening, if you think about it it's rare that you actually
do something new. It's just the way that require least
hardware capacity(calculations/sec) what we humans suck in.
But lately it's become possible to construct AI with neural
networks that learn by experience just like we, and to make
it value that experience so that not all of the billions of
data have the same priority but after what's nessasery to
survive(follow the basic inputs like: learn as much new as
you can etc.). You overestimate consciousness because that
concept emerge by it self when the calculation power are
used intelligent(software). Our bloody DNA works digitally.
God works digital. I'm not saying that there's no
spiritualistic stuff going on that the science world now at
least dosn't categorical deny but biological physical
intelligence works digital. Piece..Peace I mean;)

i just asked my mate who has done 2 trips a day for the last
1+1/2 years about this discussion and he said "never mind
all that are we going down the shops or what?"
