Thank god I'm not a coder.

And I never will be.

My specialty is in AI theories.

I don't do math either. 2+2=4 but that doesn't help theory.

As for the rest of yous. CAUTION!



May you please source the "huge movement a to stop AI and the Singularity"?

Are you saying to keep the code offline because of "bad child", or because Big Bear doesn't want no-one working on AI?

Why did your project end?

Preventing singularity?

Well, caveman was afraid of fire. Sure it could be dangerous, but if approached with caution, it could be a wonderful thing.

In the case of AGI, I think it is not a bad thing to raise awareness of a potential danger. I think we should not continue naively in a clumsy "of course nothing bad could happen" way. Please ensure some bounds and precaution measures if you want to deal with the power.

Lol first it's hard to conceive AGI, then you gotta worry about it becoming a brat, then finally society wants to destroy you and take your child away like FACS does to mothers.

Normal people just want $ and food. They don't want some bigger thing to control them little own torture/kill us.

I mean do animals have abstract ideas? Not like us scaredy cats. Most humans are brainwashed and are less technical and more nature-coordinated ex. Rewards like Food, but not like animals because have uneducated beliefs that are silly.

I.e. most humans are natural-like but weild abstract thinking without any good knowledge past nature like comin home to food and their partner. Sure they use their abstract idealisms towards getting food better, but then they use it for outerworldly super-wrong ideas.

People must become more educated by using a computer.

Ok so they are worrying over AI but, they need to learn a tadddd more you see...

A lot of them don't care either because they just don;t care for immortality. So why all the problem? doo noot build AI. Let me live n then die. However this isn't the path we're taking. That's like a clock saying let me tick a few times of fun and then gotta die...that's suicide in my detailed eyes.

Like a mother announcing a newly conceived baby lol.

Try not to be a Facebook geek or Twitter twit!
One does NOT have to announce every time they walk their dog or wash their car and who really gives a care anyway?!!

If you have /are conducting any A.I. related research/experiments, etc. you can certainly do so in the privacy of your own home or a friend/associate's home.

You do NOT have to connect to the Internet every time you fire up your computer.

If you DO decide to go online, there are a number of ways to at least mask the bulk of your activities like using Unblocker or any of those nice VPN's that are available. You can also set up your own CLOUD so that only YOU can access it from anywhere at anytime. You can retrieve any info from your own Cloud and not be swimming in that polluted cesspool of everyone else's trappings.

There are also proxies, routed routers, and many other ways to appear anonymous if you really need to be online to test your project.

Chances are many of those twisted individuals do not know you nor what kind of projects you might be working on unless again, you're a Facebook junkie with a need to broadcast your every move every day to everyone!!

Some of the other things you cited are nothing more than the popular fanfare of "Fake News", meant to get under people's skin and rile up some of the rest of the not-knowing masses.

Please, continue with your project unless there really are angry crowds coming toward you with torches and pitchforks!

Please cite the so-called "fake news."  I contend that the article was indeed written by Ben Goertzel.

[Freddy]

I don't think Art meant to imply that the Musk article you refer to is fake. More the nonsense that gets picked up and posted by people who don't check their facts - like human viruses - they pick up the baton and run without asking questions of where it came from. I see it a lot on FB and it irritates me sometimes so I point out hoaxes and fake news if I can be bothered and have to time to check it out..

[infurl]

They already know who you are.

They don't have to send you death threats to stop you coding for the Singularity.

They just tamper with your meds and you stop all by yourselves.

[unreality]

Maybe your abrahamic God will come swooping from the clouds to save you from the Singularity.

[infurl]

As a lifelong hardcore atheist I am just as contemptuous of your pathetic need for a technological god as I am for any of the equally mythical gods of the established religions, Abrahamic or otherwise. Nothing is going to save any of us, so stop making excuses and get back to work, coding if that's what you do. Just because you failed once doesn't mean you won't succeed if you keep trying.
