AI is going to crack the game of go in the foreseeable future, one of the last strong hold of man kind. DeepMind from google just beat European champion 5-0, first time a computer have beaten a professional go player in a match. When will Terminator be created? http://www.nature.com/news/go-players-react-to-computer-defeat-1.19255
So the human evolution path is genetic manipulation and cyborg? Sounds great to me. When can i have a computer hooked to my mind?:grin:
Oh man! What game was this? I remember I use to play this game with my cousin but I don't remembered the name.
I read this interesting paper a while ago, where scientistis developed the idea that AI civilizations may be the logical next step and that the most advanced civilizations in the Universe are probably postbiological. Definitel an interesting idea and it seems incredibly logical. http://www.universetoday.com/13368/is-our-universe-ruled-by-artificial-intelligence/ http://avsport.org/IAA/abst2006/IAC-06-A4.2.01.pdf
The singularity is still probably 30 years away, but if quantum computing research turns into anything fruitful, that could be a significant accelerator for the inevitable moment when technology and biology become one.
Update. When will google build skynet? A A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google's DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee resigned after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is competing for a $1 million prize. "I was very surprised," said Lee after the match. "I didn't expect to lose. [But] I didn't think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner." DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed "huge respect for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills," calling the game "hugely exciting" and "very tense." Team lead David Silver said it was an "amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its limits."
This one's for Moes!! https://youtu.be/9deKEj8-lng The Singularity is an era in which our intelligence will become increasingly nonbiological and trillions of times more powerful than it is today. Or maybe it will be a dystopian hell where we receive liquid through our mouth, ears, nose, eyes, vaginapenis.
It is amazing the improvement the program made in just half a year, this is scary, self learning AI is really powerful. I just hope I still have a job in the next twenty years and replaced by some hardware.
Seems like genetic modification and byborgs will be the only way mankind can keep up with the computers of the future. May be the collective will be good for mankind? :grin:
