Black Mirror x Skynet = Dark Future?

in addition to plastic, you can print steel now and you know it.

It's printed as a steel powder and sintered, hardly directly 3D printed.

The robots themselves are easy to build (apart from their power supply), it's what controls them that's difficult.

There is no such thing as AI. It's just code. It's as good or bad as the programmers writing it. It's easier to tell folks they lost their job to AI rather than tell them that software has made them redundant.

Translators are a perfect example. They used hundreds of thousands of hours of recordings of actual translators to fine tune the code. They kept at it, correcting mistakes as they happened. Always going back to the real translators when the computers ran into a road block. After a few years they replaced the people with the software. Huge savings.

There absolutely is AI, it's not general AI but it most definitely is AI.

It's just limited in how it perceives new data, that's what a general AI is for, it can perceive new data almost as a triviality.

It is genuinely going to be a big problem in about 20 years.

Children that are being born now need to be taught something more useful in school.

Sounds like a concern for employed people. When I see unemployed welfare whites prattling on and on about it though it just comes off as a big excuse for their lack of drive and gumption. I'm all for economic stimulus and a safety net, I just don't care for the excuses from the lazy. As far as I'm concerned, they're allowed to be lazy. There isn't enough work to go around and they probably don't do very good work anyway. I'm just sick of the unemployed acting like self appointed advocates of labor.

i don't want google or sms to 'read' my EM/Text and 'suggest' response..it's creepy.

i don't want to say 'Alexa...' fvck that shit kids don't know how to read a map or count change without the OS doing it for them..if you don't use it, you lose it.

what's gonna happen the day that we go down for good on EMS and the internet no longer exists?

think about how jammed internet traffic is on a holiday when no work or school..ever try to stream anything?

Well he's just a mountain man. That Vulcan logic really showed me. It hurts when an unemployed self-appointed labor advocate tells me to get a job.

He's an organizer. That's the title that every member of #Resist gets in his neck of the woods. A participation award. Only a few of them take it seriously though.

Creepy?

It suggests a response based on the words you type, after having learned context from probably thousands of hours of training and recursive error correction...its no more "creepy" than spell check.

And I've actually looked a bit more deeply into Google TensorFlow recently. I trained a couple of basic models but could only get to about 80% accuracy in determining the difference between pictures of men and women. I'm sure there's more parameters I could adjust and retrain it or go to a deep neural net and retrain it, but "meh".

It's not taking over the world any time soon...you should worry about general AI, not the narrow AI we have now.
