Oh sweet baby Jesus no, burn AI to the ground, humanity can't be trusted with it

[BrawlMan]

Off topic, some but kinda related: now they're making artificial human embryos without using sperm or eggs. Slap some AI in them and we've been R&R! https://www.theguardian.com/science...man-embryos-created-in-groundbreaking-advance

That is some Resident Evil type shit going on! They're not going to splice those embryos with reptilian or fly DNA combined with a virus are they?!

Well, not if the want the embryo to survive any length of time.

All this tech is going to be replacing somebody.

Well, not if the want the embryo to survive any length of time.

And if they get the embryos to survive any length of time, then what?

Then they are magicians, not scientists. Just transfusing someone with the wrong blood type is a really bad idea, mixing them with bits of another animal...might as well take the bottom half of a person and the top half of a steam engine, gluing them together and hoping for the best.

Now, maybe they get some really fancy glue in 200 years time, but I strongly suspect we'll not live to see such things.

Relax, I'm just pulling your leg!

Ohoh, this thread finally attracted a cryptobot. Kinda overdue, normally the mere mention of AI, crypto and related techbro bs attracts them like flies to shit.

Fair enough, it's hard to tell sometimes.

Though, on a related note, much of the foods we eat have been selectively bred, sometimes for thousands of years. Nobody makes a fuss about oranges or better wheat.

Mostly resources. It's time-consuming and expensive, and there's no spare staff workload capacity and money. Also, as part of QA processes, some of this requires major amendment to coursework documentation that has to go through scrutiny and approval which takes a minimum of 18 months (plus in some cases asking permission from the student body, because it's a change of the contract signed when they enrolled).



Let me answer that one via cartoon:

How AI Could Help Detect Fake News Instead of Making It

Algorithms can be useful in stopping its spread and countering misinformation, argues a computer science professor.

On the other hand, a lot of development is nurture, not genes. It may not necessarily turn out quite the way they expected.

But that nurture is a resource that is rarer in environments of poverty, where abuse is common.

Hey, maybe this one won't try to wipe out humanity.

Is this better?

Yes, thank you.

Just throw an engineer, a rookie cop and a woman with a brother in the armed forces at it and we'll be fine.

Day may be coming sooner than we'd think.

You need some understanding of maths to realise the result you got was completely wrong cause you made a mistake pressing the buttons. Like the people who blindly trusted GPS instead of paying any attention and ended up with vehicles upside down in strange places.

Like the people who blindly trusted GPS instead of paying any attention and ended up with vehicles upside down in strange places.

They also tend to be the people who never bother to update the maps.
