The singularity is coming. When artificial intelligence surpasses our own intellect there's no telling what the outcome will be. There is no formula for predicting the probabilities. Were on a one way trip down the rabbit hole.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[scottbaltes7]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 10th 2011 2:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Internet to Become Self-Aware Within the Decade?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/05/04/internet-to-become-self-aware-within-the-decade/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/05/04/internet-to-become-self-aware-within-the-decade/</guid><description><![CDATA[Self awareness came to be as a result of natural selection.  Billions of primates lived and died before some began to become aware of themselves and think bigger.  The internet does not experience natural selection in the same way.  It is not entirely replaced with several different competing small Internets, but instead people, organizations and websites compete for traffic, and all kinds of other human activities that have been happening for hundreds of years are simply taking place online.  It will never face the kind of natural selection pre-human primates did.  More and more software will be written and it will become increasingly automated, but it will never be a thinking being.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Skyler]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 13th 2011 12:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Internet to Become Self-Aware Within the Decade?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/05/04/internet-to-become-self-aware-within-the-decade/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/05/04/internet-to-become-self-aware-within-the-decade/</guid><description><![CDATA[Interesting retort but the esteemed Dr. Ian Malcolm "jurrasic park" said it best with... Life finds a way... I believe the clarity of memory coupled with the ability to learn from mistakes and (actually) change will make artificial networks far more tenacious and efficient at finding a way than clunky old natural selection. Were talking artificial selection here. Thats the building blocks of the gods. I await the readers replys/opinions ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[scottbaltes7]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 30th 2012 11:34PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
