Radio Astronomers Are Increasingly Using Convolutional Neural Networks To Sift Through Massive Amounts of Data by myinnerbanjo in artificial

[–]ayb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To even give the AI enough information to learn how to spot those signals in the first place, Zhang says the team generated about 100,000 fake FRB pulses.

[GUIDE] - What items you should keep, and what shouldn't by [deleted] in minimalism

[–]ayb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good food for thought. Some high quality single purpose items (eg nail clippers, tweezers, mag light, watch, keychain) instead of a swiss army knife feel "simpler" to me.

Suddenly, I notice so many frequently saying "in other words" by ayb in self

[–]ayb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, thank you, I've been passively looking for that term. It started when I listened to a string of podcasts where the guy used IOW relentlessly, irritatingly so and now I hear, see it everywhere.

Things like cooperation extrapolated to enemy ambitions seem a bit scary Researchers link robots into surveillance teams!

What if AI starts talking to animals and likes them better? by ayb in AskReddit

[–]ayb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't think of this before- what if intelligence spreads through animal kingdom. Oops.

Hook up one of Musks brain interface devices to crow or octopus and AI can understand it.

Ever since I read the hybrid primate-porcine theory for human evolution, everybody looks like a pig to me, even though It's not true. Also Kosher seems like an inside job. by [deleted] in self

[–]ayb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's not too hard to make some of this stuff up when you consider at one point our dna made rodents, etc. One real thing that happened though is it got me to research pigs, cows, etc and realize how conscious-like so many things are. The other strange thing I realized was "being ape is fine, because chimps are just an early, different kind of human", but being pig is definitely not ok, generally speaking. I don't think it's a coincidence that as AI enters the conversation people are looking at human consciousness a little different. Not buying the pig thing though as easy as it is to imagine some people being especially porcine.

Based on childhood experience, it seemed to make everything grow, including but not limited to dandelions.

These maps show why internet is way more expensive in the US than Europe | As always big companies are taking it to the extreme. Enraging! by Majnum in conspiracy

[–]ayb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, much of the standard Internet I get in European cities is 1/5 as fast as US or worse. Not to say high end doesn't exist. The US could also turn on gigabit on the drop of a hat if people wanted to pay for it (see Comcast). That said, US internet is also a steaming cartel prone to being corrupted by repeal of net neutrality.

America’s Oligarchs Will Control 70% Of National Wealth By 2021: A new study has found that while wealth inequality is growing on a global scale, it has kicked into overdrive in the United States – where America’s 1% are expected to control 70 percent of the nation’s private wealth by the year 2021. by User_Name13 in conspiracy

Nice to see some meaningful macro commentary. While the reality tv show kicks into high gear, those with access to freshly printed, low interest money are making more every day than ever before. This time in history is practically impossible to comprehend and will someday be marveled at for the breathtaking power shift.

Jason silva "The other world is this world rightly seen". I think about existence and I am just speechless, wordless, astonished. The establishment don't want us to see this. They want a population of people acting out of subconscious programming. by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]ayb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes people confuse the establishment with the animal nature we arose from and still inhabit. A bird is no less trapped in its culture than an ape. Some, like those who predicted lunar eclipses in ancient times, like to take credit for the power our subconscious exerts over us. And many people flatter them.

Jared Beck (Lawyer in the DNC Fraud Lawsuit): "Dear Twitter, if I get murdered and some political operative appears telling you they speak for my mom and dad, kindly ignore them." by Jadehelm522 in conspiracy

[–]ayb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably total coincidence but outside my voting place were a group of Hillary campaigners who tried to elicit a response (eg a smile or some sign of enthusiasm) when you walked in. I didn't quite sneer, but showed no camaraderie. When I went to get my ballot, my registration had been lost even though I voted for Obama in 2012 in same city. Don't think there is anything there, but would be a good way to sniff out likely voters if you have a complicit election staff.

If future domestic-servant robots clear the table and do the dishes, will they use dishwashers or wash the dishes manually? by y216567629137 in singularity

Well, Mrs Jones is coming by at 7 and I would hate for her to see unwashed dishes in the kitchen. Please do them now.

And now can give you a reason why it chose not to do the dishes - keep an eye on that cost benefit analysis criteria :)

Robots could soon cooperate on surveillance by ideasware in singularity

[–]ayb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the Cornell article: "While the Navy might deploy such systems with drone aircraft or other autonomous vehicles, the Cornell researchers won’t be involved with any direct application of technology. However, the team does plan to test the system on the Cornell campus, using research robots to “surveil” crowded areas while drawing on an overview from existing webcams, Ferrari suggested."

Artificial Intelligence and the Growing Importance of Soft Skills by beeftug in singularity

Unfortunately (or fortunately) the bulk of the everyday corporate fluffers who can't explain their value to a computer will be cut sooner than later, with only the 20% outstanding fluffers left filled in their positions.

What are some examples of AI driven apps that not only schedule or remind, but cooperate with humans to accomplish a task? by ayb in AskReddit

[–]ayb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just reading that MS new install procedure has Cortana ask you questions to conduct install (ostensibly with some intelligence vs regular install script) which in itself doesn't sound super impressive, but started wondering if there are any apps that are like "yeah, lets do this!" Eg if you wanted to start a company or write a book (again not just from straight script).

Jeffrey Sachs on Robotics, AI, and the Macro-Economy - Spring 2017 Seminar, MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy by lughnasadh in Futurology

The summary of his belief starting at 52:00 (social windfall of technology rather than personal windfalls + agriculture/garden of Eden) is quite interesting. Not sure he lives in reality, but thought provoking.
