Re: my view about LGBT+
I literally had no idea what LGBT or transsexual meant before 2014. Not that I was so young. It just happened, that I had completely zero interests in such topics. I spent my time on: computers, games (not only video games) and learning science or history. I also have Asperger's, so I'm a bit weird...

Re: AI & Robotics News and Discussions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfkDg8KE_JY Hey, using robots to hunt ghosts is literally something I've been waiting for for over a decade now. Realtalk, if we're ever going to confirm or deny the paranormal, it'll be through robots and AI. Not really - part of the deal with the paranormal is you ...

Re: The Singularity - Official Thread
VR & AR take off (truly) the moment they become fully integrated into AI. It will be way too appealing for most people to hold conversations with digitized celebrities, historical figures, influencers, and of course, waifus/husbandos. I honestly don't think the lack for physical sensation will ...

Otherwise people in this society will largely choose to live in vir...

Re: Quantum Computing News and Discussions
I'm more interested in how gaming will be when these can be easily made to home pc without thinking about whether those delicate looking photon chips will break or not. How many photons will it take to render highest graphics possible while keeping the computer chill? Gaming? We're talking about po...

Re: My random thoughts
Combat robots with advanced vision will make all but the best camouflage obsolete. Even if they don't have heat vision, their normal-spectrum vision will be so sharp that they'll be able to tell camouflaged human soldiers and vehicles apart from the background. Minute differences in colors and patt...

Re: Talking to AI
Bold is my prompts. AI is Microsoft Bing. what does "ghost in the machine" mean? The phrase “ghost in the machine” is a metaphor for the idea that the mind or the soul is separate from and independent of the body. It is often used to describe the problem of how the mental and the physical ...

Re: What was the last thing you bought?

Re: AI & Robotics News and Discussions
Here's hoping for the latter rather than the former! Hope so too! Otherwise I'm not even sure humanity can survive as a species under that scenario. :? Depends entirely on how much power we gave AI beforehand. Even an ASI can't do anything if it's living in one supercomputer or one server/server-st...
