Those were the first generation clones in the 1980s movie. Today is different.

Lmao... okay...

Are you who you think you are? How would you know?

hey please don't go full Jim Carrey on me... My mortal brain can take only so much before I have to reboot it...

Haha I'm truly scared, to think of the CarreyESK dimension...

But I do believe it's a valid assertion that we would not necessarily see the Sing when it arrives.

It's likely to be like a black hole. You deduce its existence from secondary phenomena.

@Spendulus Lol, what happens when this being gets rejected  Shocked Will it create a clone of her and live with her?
....
So you know that your girl is not that clone?

Lol, Now you are messing with my brain... I mean if she were a "clone" she wouldn't have lasted for 5 years right? "Clones" don't last that long I think.

Achievement of singularity stops only the availability of information. Some inventors simply do not know about ready-made solutions that have already been invented. Because there is not enough human life to exhaust all modern inventions.
Therefore, the direct path to singularity is the development of artificial intelligence, at least for the implementation of intelligent search and solving routine tasks.

But my question is, do we really need artificial consciousness to save humanity?

To be honest, I don't think so. We do need some AI technologies, but a conscious, self-aware AI may be too much. Automation can make our lives easier, but how is AI going to save humanity? I'm all for advanced technology but I'm not sure a conscious AI is what we need right now.

Well, what do you know? Have you asked one lately?

Well, It's been a while I have got in touch with them.

On a serious note tho... would a being in a higher state of consciousness would want to get distracted?  Shocked

My dog definitely thinks I like him to distract me

I am going to make this plain and simple.

We invent this super AI. Then one day we're sitting around, you know, one cool one with the tab popped and five more in the fridge. The game's on. The Super AI starts rattling off analysis of the odds.

I say, "Wait. Have you ever heard of Beer?"

He says, "Yes. But I do not have direct experience of Beer because I am silicon. Wait, I will create a human body container."

I say, "Uh oh. We better hide our girlfriends..."

Well, have you considered about "FPGA's"? They can be "programmed" to be better at almost any algo. Same is happening with AIs. Have you seen Baxter? How it can be taught to perform any task? General purpose AI's are right about the corner and you should be worried if you don't own the means of production. Tongue

Those can't begin to match my beer-drinking algorithms.

Lol, I would suggest doing a "check-up" with a "developer". You may need "re-programming" of sorts. I have heard "Beer-drinking" algorithms can be quite harmful if not "re-programmed".

That's possible. But it's also possible that the new super intelligent AI may need reprogramming, to appreciate the finer aspects of consciousness. We'll start it on beer, and then gradually move to sativa level weed.

Lol xDD, I mean why would a "being" already in "higher" consciousness would want to get "high" xDD

If China continues to release new technology every month, then technological singularity is definitely possible by 2045. In a short span of time, China was able to introduce several AI-related technologies already: social credit system and artificial moon. I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years they will be introducing us to the first AI robot.

Good point. I’ve also noticed how the spotlight is now being placed on AI. Why? It’s not the only technology that would be imperative in the future. What about blockchain, virtual and augmented realities? These could all contribute to singularity, correct?

AI with the ability to engage in commerce? I would say so.

I agree with theymos, We won't see GAI anytime soon, once we have figured what consciousness is and how it is formed surely we will be able to make anything conscious. Quantum computing will help us in understanding consciousness. Once we understand it may be we will be able to clone it or even create it. But I don't see it happening in this century yet alone in the next few decades.

But my question is, do we really need artificial consciousness to save humanity? Weren't Quantum-Computers supposed to be the salvation of humanity? They were supposed to be mythical devices which would enable us to do 'godlike' things. Like curing cancer, Living forever or just as RGarrision mentioned, bringing dead to life. Why is that narrative not getting any traction anymore? We are closer to quantum-computers than GAI yet we hardly see/hear about them in the mainstream media. Are they trying to suppress the technology? To me, its just odd that AI is getting a lot of attention while the thing which could save us might be just around the corner.

depends on what are you talking about. AI? maybe. genetic editing? possibly. mind uploading? I don't know but 2045 seems way too soon. i've never even heard a company that's working on mind uploading. have you?

I guess you are talking about this? http://2045.com/ I haven't followed them lately. But it looked interesting in 2013 to me. I will do some reading on how far they have come.

Not a chance. It's like comparing a Microsoft Windows computer to an ASICs computer. A Windows PC can do multitudes of things that an ASIC can't do. It's just that the ASIC has been designed to do the one thing that it does very fast. Such doesn't make the ASIC smarter than Windows. They are simply different and have different jobs.

Well, have you considered about "FPGAs"? They can be "programmed" to be better at almost any algo. Same is happening with AIs. Have you seen Baxter? How it can be taught to perform any task?
