Title: Tech speculation....emergent AI Post by: jubalix on January 29, 2014, 12:21:35 PM So what's the chance we may seem some sort of emergent AI come out of block chain and the ability to execute programs on chains....btc/nxt/etherium.
Title: Re: Tech speculation....emergent AI Post by: jubalix on January 30, 2014, 01:05:07 AM an AI researcher I met some years ago was last week bought out by google for 400M$. they seem to want to integrate the engine into the search product, although I doubt Google is going to get better. I know the scene pretty well, and much of is techno-babble. combine that with bitcoin you get techno-babble^². I see rather the emergence of pseudo-religious techno-cult, deeply a-political, which means no concern for human society at large, but rather private cooperations ruling the world, like in a William Gibson novel. Your right techno babble^2.... I do wonder however if an autonomous agent that can perform its own actions on a block chain and be paid for a service, for coins = energy ultimately, will be the beginnings, or a rudimentary life. So perhaps AL (artificial Life) as a processor to AI. I guess we already have virus's on computers though Title: Re: Tech speculation....emergent AI Post by: geeknik on January 30, 2014, 02:49:16 AM So what the chance we may seem some sort of emergent AI come out of block chain and the ability to execute programs on chains....btc/nxt/etherium. Nothing is impossible, however, I think the chances are as close to zero as you can get without actually being zero. But for all we know, Satoshi is an AI and Bitcoin was it's first creation. ;) Title: Re: Tech speculation....emergent AI Post by: jubalix on January 30, 2014, 06:40:35 AM So what the chance we may seem some sort of emergent AI come out of block chain and the ability to execute programs on chains....btc/nxt/etherium.

In order to rule the world, AI needed money to be digital. |
