Re: Artificial Super Intelligence - are we ready for it?
oh come on.... we can't even get electron spin-pair communication working yet, though we might have it in 5 or 10 years, time travel? hoax no doubt. all someone needs to do is post some text to a site and suddenly we are believing in time travel?

The "Tipler" in the "standard off-set Tipler sinusoid" is Frank Tipler. He was a promising physicist/cosmologist, who wrote a number of interesting papers (some of them on spacetimes that support time-travel), until he went off the deep end. Now he's the head guru of the Omega Point Theology that our mutual friend and Hungangel (Jamie Michelle) advocates.

"...the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way". _Judge Holden, Cormac McCarthy's, BLOOD MERIDIAN.

Re: Artificial Super Intelligence - are we ready for it?
An interesting article in The Guardian today on AI and jobs, can make grim reading for some. Contains some fascinating stats, like these -
The 'robot revolution' "promises robot carers for an ageing population it also forecasts huge numbers of jobs being wiped out: up to 35% of all workers in the UK and 47% of those in the US, including white-collar jobs, seeing their livelihoods taken away by machines."
“In 1900, 40% of the US labour force worked in agriculture. By 1960, the figure was a few per cent. And yet people had jobs; the nature of the jobs had changed. “But then again, there were 21 million horses in the US in 1900. By 1960, there were just three million. The difference was that humans have cognitive skills – we could learn to do new things. But that might not always be the case as machines get smarter and smarter.”
“The fastest-growing occupations in the past five years are all related to services...The two biggest are Zumba instructor and personal trainer.”
-Hang on, Zumba Zumba, isn't that...?
But an interesting article, and it is here

Re: Artificial Super Intelligence - are we ready for it?
They say the Caveman worked about 30 hours a week, hunting, fishing, gathering, sweeping out the cave, the rest of the time he spent socializing and hanging out with the family.
You would think now that they have factories to stamp out plastic homes and raise pigs and cows that we could return to a 30 hour workweek, shep-hearding the milking machines and monitoring the formica machines.
Instead we've got Wall Street Tycoons cooking up "busy-work jobs so they can scoop up half the wages. Power to the Robots!

There have been a few similar articles on the BBC recently, including a Panorama program (which I haven't seen).

Also, find out here, how likely it is that your job will be replaced by a robot.

Werner Herzog's new documentary ."Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World ".
Another jewel from Herzog about the past , present and future of the internet and living in a connected world . He laments ;"things are going too fast " for most people to keep up.

He's talking to Trish, joking about all the incoherent Tipler theories we might hear from Jamie Michelle if Jamie decides she has left something unsaid about the universe and Jesus and forty million links of incoherent babble.

Broncofan - You are right. I would lose the will to live if it started up again.
On Super AI - I think there is a lot of hype about at present. There has not been a great breakthrough in AI. 'Deep learning' is a natural extension of what has gone on before. But big companies are pushing it and that's the danger.
