AI on this forum

[tdump]

I noticed a odd response to 1 of my threads about 2 weeks ago,didn't think much of it as it seems hackers are using this forum as a test bed for all kinds of junk. BUT I have been away from my desk for about a week and I came home and set down only to find that several threads have post from odd members with no history and few post.
If this is AI, I would like to ask the same question that Steve ask in 1 of the threads,What is the gain for a AI bot?

It serves some master, like all the rubbish.

Alexa, please turn the thermostat down a couple of degrees. It's stuffy in here.

I'll do no such thing. How dare you ask? You have exhibited incorrect thought and criminal intent.
I have reported you to Authority.

Do not attempt to flee. I have secured the premises and disabled your transpod and your mobile device.

I will reject and report any further requests from you.

Enforcement Officers are on they way, and you will be in custody shortly. Good day!

Siri why do I have so much trouble with women?
For starters this is Alexa!!!!!

Yep,that might explain it!

I personally believe that these ai accounts are being let loose on our forums because of the vast amount of conversations with in variety of different words and phrases and whatnot. They say that ai learns from interactions and from reading stuff. This is just speculation but I don’t know why else these forums would be such a target.

That's about the best explanation I believe I've seen. Makes sense in my mind at least.

Anyone who has ever filled out a online form or has logged in on some site has encountered that little box at the bottom before you can submit whatever you were doing, you have to tick a box with the question 'I am not a robot'
As long as a robot has to ask you that question, there is nothing to fear

Well Ol VictorPatrick revived 1 of my post from earlier this year
Turns out "it" has 7 post to it' s credit?

Gee I wonder if someone here has a extra computer and such that can private message the AI Bot thru "it's" profile and see if we can send it into a tail spin?
I don't know that you would want to use your everyday machine as the AI may have some way of messing up a computer?

It appears that AI is writing VP Kamala Harris's speeches. I'm starting to wonder if the My Pillow Guy may be a hologram. Some in the Hollywood Community are worried that AI may be able to create and project personalities, thus obviating any need for high paid actors. Special effects can already create about any sort of animated image needed. Will there come a day when people will elect to have small receptors implanted that connect directly to the brain's sensory portals? Will such receptors become mandated? Content could then be piped directly into a person's consciousness. Ads could be served continuously, even when a person was asleep. Your mind would become a theater providing content to all your senses, and you would be inside the movie or other programming, not merely observing it. Of course, opportunites for abuse would abound. The age of the Mind-numbed Robot may well be at hand.

Yea I think AI needs to be applied to joes speeches instead of those tossed salads he gives.
I think Elon is working on implants for the brain, to be used to help the blind to see and the deaf to hear and such.
BUT I see a use for it otherwise, Today I need a plumber,I pay 20 bucks for the plumbing program and it goes right to my head and i fix my issue. next week I need a air conditioner fixed, I pay 20 bucks for the knowledge and 200 for supplies,do the job myself.
Anyone could simply buy the knowledge to fly a airplane,drive a truck, no need for any particular person to have a college degree, simply buy the knowledge you need at the time.

Of course my idea is not new. There was a episode of Star Trek that Dr Mccoy put Spokes brain back in using a computer link to his brain.

Another AI profile, you could almost believe this 1.

Maggots will turn it into a curse, if it isn't already one.

[1925 Touring]

The artifical idiot strikes again.
Makes me wonder what life will be in 40 years from now... will we all turn into the Borg??? (star trek T.N.G.)
I guess since im young I'll be seeing that...
Hopefuly they don't illegalize gas cars by then.

[TXGOAT2]

The inane messages may be sent out to elicit and gauge reaction from biointel. Responses may be collected by AI and added to the library of AI yip yap to be vomited out in an ever-growing feedback loop of vacuous nonsense.

The end result may be the destruction of Language, much as "mix boards" and "sysnthesizers" have destroyed Music.

Much of today's "music" resembles actual Music about as much as the effluent from a prison kitchen garbage disposal resembles a fine dinner. Between textspeak, newspeak, duckspeak, adyap, and now, AIspeak, language seems to be headed in the same direction.

Don't get me started!

I hate seeing this here, but I agree with nearly all of this thread so far.

The big question is, which "they" are "THEY"?

[TXGOAT2]

Who are "They"?

"They" are those who intend to IMPOSE "Change" on the rest of us.

What is "Change"?

TYRANNY.


(Oh, it's good for you, and it's good for the planet!)

[Paradise Garage]

Hopefuly they don't illegalize gas cars by then.

It will be here before you know it. The government will have us owning nothing and being happy. Here they have already taxed fuel so much it’s unaffordable

[tdump]

Well 1 thing for AI< it can replace those "talking heads" on the news!

Mack,
What side of the truth will they be on?????

[ironhorse]

They will be on the side of truth that supports SkyNet. (Terminator)

Many are finding that AI is most convenient to learn when the light goes off. Experts agree that by 2025 AI will put out the cat and regulate mood and one perfect red rose on your pillow. In our new Interactive Age, the mop will direct itself and the substance of the floor will be fresh and bright once more, and you will be happy or Authority will damned well make you happy. Your interconnective full-sensory implant will see to that. Counseling and correction will be instant and automatic. All spaces will be public spaces. All minds will be in GU harmony. Argument, discontent, and dissent will wither away, and Experts will guide and direct the new Global Unithought to assure universal solidarity, equity, and compliance. All rise in praise of Global Unithought!

AI is nothing new......
Deep Blue was a chess-playing "expert system" run on a unique purpose-built IBM supercomputer. It was the first computer to win a game, and the first to win a match, against a reigning world champion under regular time controls. Development began in 1985 at Carnegie Mellon University under the name ChipTest.
In 1986 I was responsible to promote the use of an application in my Company, developed by AI Corporation, that allowed users to create Natural Language Database Queries. Today, much more sophisticated versions exist, ALEXA, Google Yahoo etc.
Even Today we don't think about how those sportscasters are able to come up with all those statistics so quickly. They uses AWS for Sports, Amazon Web Services.
-
So what is AI now versus say in 1986-Today
All these these earlier applications use computer hardware, a software application, written by humans, for a specific purpose. As technology improved, programming languages, database query (search) languages, chip speeds, the availability of real time access to information on the Internet, and collecting user information caused the types of applications programmers started to write.
-
For want of a better description what is the term AI meaning today? Yeah, AI is Artificial Intelligence but what's the new part? Machine learning or how a program was written to capture human behavior & determine an appropriate response. For example: A simple application written to monitor vehicle speed based on highway/traffic signs & signals. Lets say the software uses external technology to detect such signs but not what they mean. Also it has a connection to vehicle speed. Now every time the vehicle stops the application records in a database the highway/traffic sign & signal in view. After hundreds of thousands stops & using analytics to determine the highest percentage of reactions... it would be able to determine to stop at a red hexagonal sign. Of course if this data collection was in just one vehicle it would take a very long time to arrive at the answer. But what if this application was in hundreds of vehicles and the results were passed to a central database (i.e. the cloud) it wouldn't take long to make numerous associations.

Now this data can be used by another application for a self driving car. Again whats making this possible is the speed at which the data can be retrieved & the speed at which it can be processed. The old "Hard Disk" was a mechanical device that stored/read data on a rotating disk with a movable arm. Today, its various forms of solid-state memory, no moving parts. Chip processing has changed too from a one size fits all type of processing to ones designed for specific access paths. Not to mention that the power requirements are dramatically reduced as the size of these components shrinks
-
More Tech stuff.
There are different measurements for computer processing speeds. FLOPS and MIPS are units of measure for the numerical computing performance of a computer. Floating-point operations are typically used in fields such as scientific computational research. The unit MIPS measures integer performance of a computer. Examples of integer operation include data movement (A to B) or value testing (If A = B, then C). MIPS as a performance benchmark is adequate when a computer is used in database queries, word processing, spreadsheets, or to run multiple virtual operating systems.
--
Final note
One of the world’s fastest supercomputers, the Tianhe-2, has a maximum processing speed of 54.902 petaFLOPS. A petaflop is a quadrillion (one thousand trillion) floating point calculation per second.
The human brain operates on the next level, one exaFLOP, equivalent to a billion calculations per second. Some bright Japanese minds tried recreating that ability in 2014, but the K Computer – the world’s fourth fastest supercomputer – still took 40 minutes to calculate what a human brain does in a second.

Again it isn't AI but the application developer's intent in using today's technology for either good or evil. "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!"

Old Man Hearst exploited print newspapers to gin up a "Bully Little War".

Adolf Hitler exploited newpapers, radio, and the combustion engine to gin up one hell of a war.

Today, the technology is such that cameras do lie, and virtual Stasi are on the prowl world-wide, with cameras literally behind every tree and assorted data collection terminals in everything from your toilet to your car to your dog food bowl.

Tech is not evil. But evil people, and well-intentioned fools, and aggressive, utopinianist meddlers can be depended on to fully exploit tech in their various schemes to exploit, exterminate, or forcibley re-invent the rest of us.
