WHO THE F$%# THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA!?

[Jaime_Wolf]

This is profoundly silly.

Neural networks are far, far, far away from modeling a full human brain and modeling psychological disorders with one would imply already understanding the mechanism behind the disorder.

This is why you don't read pop psychology.

I don't think the computer is the only crazy thing in this thread. *snicker*

The OPs post made me chuckle but what you posted made me shed a tear from laughing.

SKYNET OoO BEWARE
The terminator is coming for you OP!

OT: This is great news for science.

Cortana never went crazy during her time with humanity. Sure she had a rough patch with Gravemind, but she was still stable.

In the books, Cortana is much more crazy. Sure she puts on the appearance of sanity, but even the chief realizes she isn't quite right. Considering all the amount of information she must have assimilated on Halo, that would have accelerated her rampancy considerably. Either way, I don't think Cortana was completely right in the head after Halo 3 and her escapade with the Gravemind.

OP: I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill.
Its not like that computer network was in charge of the neurotoxin factory.

Even at only three four posts, I'm surprised at the lack of Portal references. No deadly neurotoxins or quotes containing passive-aggressive sarcasm or mention of tasty desserts of any kind? I wonder how long this will last...

I say give the computer control over a facility and a huge amount of nerve gas!
For science!

Unless the computer is actually in charge of anything important, this isn't a threat. You really need to calm down.

What's this command file say? "Deadly Neurotoxin"...?

Amirite?

What do you think is posting this?

HMMM!

 

[Raziel_Likes_Souls]

You know what's a bad idea? Speaking in all caps.

OT: Calm down dude. It's a computer. Not something with sentient artificial intelligence that is going to take over the world. You sound like a crazy person.

Now sea sponges on the other hand....*shudder*

Spoiler: Scariest thing ever

Are you ready kids?

AYE AYE CAPTAIN!

I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

AYE AYE CAPTAIN!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!



On topic.

Relax, Batman will go back in time and cause all of this, and then try to kill it, and somehow travel with his mother years after she was supposed to die with a new Terminator played by Summer Glau, and then fuck up the plot, and then god knows what.

Point is, we have Patrick Bateman/Dubs Guy to protect us from the robots.

hey schizophrenia's not that dangerous its not like Ive ever done anything ille... How did that corpse get in here?

 

[Dfskelleton]

Chill out, this isn't Portal. The AI has no actual power, so it's not exactly a threat. The only way such a thing would be so is if some main government decided to use an AI as their mainframe computer and it went insane, which is only possible if someone decided to make it so.

 

[v3n0mat3]

I see this, and I'm thinking.... Another core for Portal... the schizophrenic. "Aah! What was that?! Stop touching my fleeesh! Aaah!!"

who the fuck thought windows vista was a good idea

I'm sorry but the thought of some small part of that thing slipping out of it's module and getting on the web is a risk i would not like to take. I don't want that thing turning into SkyNet, that PC needs to go down, hard-core!

You don't know how computers work, do you? If they made a computer that were programmed to be insane, I am assuming they didn't do like you suspect and infect it with a virus that works with Windows. If this is a computer simply programmed to be insane it's not something that CAN affect your computer because it's a unique kind of programming. This is not like the HIV-virus that mutated from a harmless virus in monkeys to the deadliest disease in the world. It can't mutate, it can only work on the computer it's been programmed for. If you don't believe me, try installing a program that only works with Linux on your computer (unless you run Linux then do it with a windows only software) the result will be that your computer doesn't recognize it. The programming will be far too different. The computer isn't in charge of anything that can go wrong, the computer is designed for this one purpose.
Do you think the computer will suddenly gain legs and start killing people? There is no harm in this since it cannot possibly do anything. It's for research purposes, and though it wont help us at all since the brain is far more complex than a computer it's not a bad start.

 

[Nickompoop]

This may be the weirdest thread I've ever seen outside of 4chan...

Isn't that thing fulla porn? And nothing but.

Not all of it, but most. You should check it out, especially the /b/ section. No viruses, it's just the bottom of the Internet barrel.

 

[lacktheknack]

nope.avi

Making a computer insane doesn't make it able to do damage, it just makes it behave unpredictably.

But computers are deterministic machines! Alan Turing said so!

i don't think skynet was ever really insane, though... a little overzealous, sure, but it always acted rationally...

hell, giving skynet schizophrenia would be a good thing... it'd become too apathetic to kill anyone

Turning a computer insane, how can that possibly go wrong...OH YEAH:

Science isn't about playing it safe!

 

[Wintermoot]

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: Why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired.

This was a triumph.

thank you cave you are an inspiration to all of us.
