    You should do a full hour together, you are intelligent men and your conversations aren’t vitriolic or inane. Make it so.

    I love how atheists cannot prove their certainty when they believe in the inept of creation- Donald Trump

    AI ‘intelligence’ is not a copy of human processes . It is evolving its own .

    Duh! Any “Good Fairy” knows “Unicorns eat Angels” like CheeseCake is “Food for the Blind Muses”….where’s his “Kingdom “c’mon from? “Queensland ” ?

    for a split second, Ricky thought it was going to go down the religious path again … you can see him going ‘for **** sake!’ before Colbert, to his credit, goes a different way with a fantastic question for him about AI. Nicely done Mr Colbert.

    To Gervais’ sentiment abt “SuperNature”, I’ve long embraced the investigative and empirical processes of learning rather than anesthetizing my limbic cortex with ancient supernatural beliefs, mystical charms, and lore. I get exhilaration from the journey of learning, speculating, imagining, and asking questions. That’s where growth and evolution come from. The ability to create. That’s where I get a spiritual high.

    Finally ! one untelligent person who understands that AI does not exist, nor will it ever unless we hook up a real brain and brain cells. I am a neuroscientist and computer expert. None of the AI people I met had read one book or articale on neuroscience.

    I’ve suffered 20 hours of capsaicin in my eyes, lying on a jail cell floor, due to I refuse to obey wrongful orders.

    They say “get on the ground!”. I say “No.” Then, pepper spray.

    It is a repeating pattern.

    I have no regrets. I actually think I’ve built up a tolerance to pepper spray.

    I did what I did, for GOOD Reason.

    AI: while I can’t say it worries me, per se, (esp. since it’s out of our hands nearly as much as evolution is – at least for the next several generations(!)), I WOULD argue that we don’t quite know just what AI will become. If I were to use a fictional point of reference, which is so typical of us humans (the very same reason we allowed a millenia-old book called the Bible to shape our prejudices and imagined fears to this very day), I am remembering the original 1970s movie WESTWORLD, wherein the computers took over in upgrading the software of the robots, to the point technicians weren’t even sure what was happening anymore. In this sense, how much do we know about AI and its self-evolving characteristics? Since we can’t stop it, we have the choice to either tremble abt it or watch it with fascination. I choose the latter. I mean, thousands of years from now the human species will be different from what we are today; as we begin spreading out in different habitats in space which will vary in gravity, magnetic fields, etc. AI will undoubtedly play an integrated AND integral role in that.

    I’m waiting for AI to basically turn humans into pets. We’ll have handed over more and more of our decision making and daily responsibilities that eventually we won’t need to go to work or look after ourselves. Then we’ll be the cats of the world. Can’t wait to poop in a tray and have something else clean it up for me.
