Rabs Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 And no, im not talking about robotic tuners... I happened across this video.. Imagine one of these with actual proper self learning AI... I love how it seems so enthusiastic with the task at hand 🙂  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 This is what a robot looked like in the 60s. When a robots appearance become a style choice, I'll choose a retro one like this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im no conspiracy type person, theres no telling exactly whats going to happen when AI and robots meet and the technology gets perfected.. But it is happening, I think we can all see that. It used to be that say for example processing power for computers used to double every two years (Moores law) but I think we have gone way past that now and are speeding up quicker than anyone could have imagined.

True. Every generation experiences more change than the previous one. Tech is the prime example, but its also lifestyle, social mores and language. I just read a wifi article from Which and it compared mesh to extenders. I was completely unaware of this tech. Its getting harder to keep up. I had no idea about the dexterity that robot was capable of until I watched your link. The upward curve of change doesn't seem far off vertical now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it learn how to make it move, what the limits of movement are, all the intricate accuracy, for itself. It's astonishing. We're not up to Boston Dynamic's standards, but its fascinating stuff. The AI in the self morphology is actually our point of interest. Yeah... Its quite interesting..  Ive seen a few videos on self learning AI   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I've found the Amazon Alexa thingy can hear me  when I whisper at night "Alexa turn off Jim's light."  And she is considerate enough to do it without the usual somewhat loud  "OK!".  Which caused me to wonder about 2 things:  Can 'she'  (not sure of the proper pronoun) here hear what we're saying even when we think we're being quiet?  AND ...  Is "It"  compiling reams of information on us to create a massive database?    For Example:  "Did you remember to turn off the iron?"   "What is the expiration date on the milk? "   "IF Hallmark starts putting out Christmas movies in the Fall, THEN when will their Halloween movies come out?  Same time Hobby Lobby puts out Halloween decorations?"  "IF prices on 18 year old Irish Whiskey go up due to inflation, THEN how do we define 'inflation' ? " "Robots are our friends."  I'm repeating that every night after I have 'him' turn out the light... insurance.   Like the Cowardly Lion in  The Wizard of Oz.  "I do believe in spooks."  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the 1st two Lobos albums on vinyl and had all but given up on a 3rd. Years elapsed, I thought the band had folded. Then I noticed this listed at the back of a music mag. The uk media had retaken control of record imports and radio. Los Lobos were nowhere to be seen. Eventually I learn that they never stopped gigging or recording. I caught up alright starting with importing Colossal Head, with Neighborhood & Kiko to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepdog1969 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 1. To err is human. To really foul things up takes a computer 2. Garbage in, garbage out. Computer programs only work as well as the accuracy of their coding written by humans. 3. When AI specialists/programmers spoke about how AI would expand it's base programming by using the internet as a way to increase it's "knowledge", thus "growing beyond it's base programming", I knew we were all doomed. ('cause we all know if it's on the internet, it must be true, right?) At least AI would unquestionably believe that my girlfriend, who lives in Canada, is real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepdog1969 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 If AI is so smart, why isn't it called Actual Intelligence instead of Artificial Intelligence? Artificial: a: lacking in natural or spontaneous quality an artificial smile an artificial excitement b: IMITATION, SHAM artificial flavor. Things that make you go hmmmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
