WOW !!!!

[Moveon]

Computers have to be programmed and feed data. We program human brains from birth until death every day. They call them commercials and school. It takes many different people's input to program a new human being form birth to death. It starts with our parents and family, Then it's continued in school. After school it's our boss that helps program us on the job. Then there is the Sunday school classes and other such after school activities. Then there is the friends who we associate with who teach or influence (Program) our brains.

We are continuously being programmed.

So I would fear the programmers more than the robots.

I have done quite a bit of research on AI, and have actually developed some very rudimentary "learning" processes.

Knowledge based computing is the wave of the future.

Kurzweil thought 15 years ago that the computing capability to mimic the human brain and thought process was about 10-20 years away. I believe that we're to that point. The physical computing and processing power exists to emulate human thought.

Kurzweil also stated the programming and neural nets would be another 20-30 years away from that. I believe those are probably close estimates, based on how fast we're building massively parallel capabilities. There will be a time when the software can effectively harness the hardware. When that happens, thinking computers will be born.

AND, what is extremely scary about that, is that thinking computers will be able to react on all the knowledge in the history of the world, because their neural nets would be hooked into every single piece of knowledge every published. And not only be able to react and act on the knowledge, but also to be able to act and react faster than any human, and depending on the speed of the neural net, maybe as fast as a blink of an eye.
