Mankind is actually building "Gods"

Mankind is actually building "Gods"
[Image: DaQ6mM1.png]

Like Sam Harris the atheist says, we are building Gods.

  1. The God that he is referring to is quite disparate from the theistic God.
  2. Of course, I am an atheist, and like Sam, I tend to discuss the inevitable emergence of this super-intelligent "God". (See this paper to see how it is possible to support "God" concept while being an atheist.)
  3. The God that Sam is referring to, is all about artificial general intelligence.

Anyway, it would seem "God" as it relates to artificial intelligence, has been on github since 2016.

Thanks for reading.

It's just an artificial mind, which also will be used for sex robots and for killing people. F it.

I'm sick to fuck hearing about this. There's hardly a week goes by without some alarmist bullshit documentary on the telly or some click bait in the Telegraph by that talentless hack Sarah Knapton. Artificial intelligence has been with us for years, artificial consciousness on the other hand is many years away, and will probably remain so. We first need to know how ours works, you can't make a copy of something without a detailed understanding of the original.
The vacuous pesh that is Coronation Street has held morons in rapture for fifty seven fucking years, this is indeed an enigma. Until we discover why humans can be such mindless cunts don't talk to me about artificial intelligence.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Lol you mad bro?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

We are indeed in the process of building gods. We are also in the process of building life. The combination of the two will be stunning!

But, I am very excited about quantum computing because not only will it dramatically increase the computing power of artificial intelligent gods but will also dramatically improve the types of problems that AI can solve. It's such an exciting time to live with so many technological advances. Watch this space!

Ha you can't build god, they're just proving he exists. If you build an all powerful all knowing machine, that proves there has always been a god because time is not linear, it doesn't exist because it can only be measured relative to motion. It is simply the 4th dimension.

I don't accept that premise.

Does not follow.
