DeepMind. Perhaps the most powerful gaming artificial
intelligence in the world. It is designed to learn organically, like a living
creature. DeepMind just beat Lee Sedol, the world champion of Go—the board game
that uses black and white stones.
The operators of DeepMind assure us that it is only used for
games—for the moment—so it is harmless. Well, that’s comforting, and . . . hey,
didn’t they ever see WarGames?
It was kind of funny to watch that and see nuclear missiles
being targeted at Seattle.
DeepMind is part of Google. Their motto is “Don’t be evil.”
And if you believe that, then you won’t fear that this worldwide network will
ever become Skynet.
Hahahahaha "Don't be evil."
ReplyDeleteBut maybe it's just a front. Hmmmmm....
I saw that Go match on the TV news. So cool! I remember War Games. Even for its time it was a bit too "messagey" for me. From the same time period, I liked The Last Starfighter.
ReplyDelete(Thanks for dropping by my blog. I generally agree with you about never mentioning politics (or religion) on blogs. I've never done it before. I blame the pain meds! lol But I didn't choose sides, and anyone who likes seeing violence at rallies isn't anyone I'm worried about offending.)
Apologies to Misha and Lexa for not approving your posts earlier. Somehow they ended up in my spam filter.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe Skynet did it on purpose.
