    Default Adaptable robots 'on their way' to the home ....... AI Tech (DeepMind) Concepts are coming together.

    Many people not into alternate news & articles do not believe or choose , just to
    ignore information of any kind until its on the BBC , CNN , ABC etc....mainstream .
    So when I noticed this on the BBC site just now it tickled me because it sounded a
    bit alternate LOL and I wonder if our mainstream friends will now believe this is not
    sky -fy of the far future but nearer to here and now...

    Two recent threads tie in with this as with several others put up lately by other
    members. With robots fixing themselves/adapting its another cog into AI and
    androids of all descriptions. Google's Artificial Intelligence Plans include buying
    Deepmind and teaming up with NASA. They say its peaceful civil use , but the
    military are never far away with any new concepts especially in the AI or robotics
    field I would of thought.

    Adaptable robots 'on their way' to the home

    By Pallab Ghosh
    Science correspondent, BBC News
    2 hours ago
    From the section Science & Environment



    Watch the spider-like robot adapt to a broken leg

    Researchers have developed robots that learn to live with damaged parts in less than a
    minute, instead of the many hours needed by traditional self-learning systems. The
    system paves the way for robots to be used in a wide variety of settings, coping with
    damage that occurs in the real world. Possible applications include robots looking after
    the elderly, rescuing earthquake victims or doing housework.

    Details are in the journal Nature.

    Having the kind of intelligent robots you see in the movies is much closer than people
    realise Dr Jeff Clune, University of Wyoming

    We marvel at the robots we see in films: some try to wipe out humanity, such as Ultron
    in the recent Avengers film, while others like C-3PO in Star Wars are helpful albeit
    slightly annoying. But they are the still the stuff of science fiction, partly because if the
    slightest thing goes wrong with a real-life robot it usually stops working altogether.
    In a step towards making the machines of the movies a reality, French and US
    researchers have developed a learning algorithm that enables robots to adapt very
    quickly when they are damaged. Factory and laboratory robots have a strictly pre-
    defined way of operating. So if a component breaks, it normally has to be replaced for
    the robot to continue with its task.

    Robot with a friendly face



    The friendly face of the future? The robots we see in films may be closer than many
    people realise Most self-learning systems that seek alternative ways of continuing with
    the task are too slow, because they try out billions of possibilities. Using software that
    filters out the ineffective strategies, the new system vastly speeds up the process.

    The team demonstrated the principles with a six-legged, spider-like robot that found a
    new way of crawling across the floor after one of its legs was broken. They also unveiled
    a robotic arm that could adapt to a broken joint and learn a new way to drop a ball in a
    bin.In both instances, the robots were able to learn a new strategy to complete their
    task in less than a minute. Traditional self-learning systems would have taken days.

    According to Dr Jeff Clune of the University of Wyoming, the development represents an
    important first step toward robots that are able to operate independently, outside of the
    carefully controlled confines of a laboratory or factory floor.

    We would like to put these robots outside of factories to help in the outside world,
    where anything can happen

    Dr Jean-Baptiste Mouret, Pierre and Marie Curie University

    "Having the kind of intelligent robots you see in the movies is much closer than people
    realise. Our algorithm should in principle work on any kind of robot no matter how
    complex it is," he told BBC News.

    "If anyone can get a working C-3PO, our algorithm could help it to deal with unforeseen
    situations and damage."

    Sampling strategies

    The new system uses a computer simulation to filter out all the possible solutions that
    will not work well. It then collects the ones that are both effective and different from
    each other, so that the robot does not waste time testing out similar strategies.

    Next, the robot tries out what the simulation predicts will be the best solution. If that
    fails, it tries out something entirely different. It carries on doing this until it finds a
    strategy that works.

    The research points the way to robots that are more robust, adaptable and cheaper to
    maintain than today's machines, according to senior author Jean-Baptiste Mouret, from
    Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris.

    Robot Spider

    Is this spider robot that the first of a new generation of adaptable machines?

    "If you have robots in your home they would probably be expensive and you would not
    want them to stop working if a small part breaks," he told BBC News.

    "Robots are used in factories because they are a controlled environment and nothing
    unexpected can happen to them. We would like to put these robots outside of factories
    to help in the outside world, where anything can happen."

    Alongside recent advances in artificial intelligence, such as the self-learning system
    developed by Google's DeepMind Technologies, this development could see the
    emergence of new uses for robots.

    "The things (DeepMind) is working on are amazing," says Dr Clune. "(Together) we will
    bring closer a future where robots are helping humans.

    Marching robots

    Does the march of the machines start now? Recent advances in artificial intelligence
    could soon lead them out of the factory floor and into the home.

    "We should be sending robots into Fukushima instead of asking human volunteers to
    take lethal doses of radiation. Robots should be putting out forest fires so we don't have
    to risk human lives and they should be used to help us in our homes," he said.

    Home help

    Among the ideas for household robots are machines for cleaning, cooking, or loading
    and unloading dishwashers. Most of the development of the system was done by
    Antoine Cully, a PhD student working with Dr Mouret. He says one of his principal
    motivations was to help those who are infirm.

    "I hope we can have robots that are assistants for the elderly," he said.

    Dr Clune, though, believes this technology could have applications at the other end of
    the age spectrum.


    Does the march of the machines start now? Recent advances in artificial intelligence
    could soon lead them out of the factory floor and into the home.


    He has very recently become a father, whose newborn child has been keeping him
    awake into the early hours of the night. He confesses that he has spent the extra
    sleepless hours pondering "long and hard" whether he could use the new system to
    create a robot that can soothe a crying baby.

    "Necessity is the mother of invention, so maybe that will be my next invention," he
    joked. But I was left with the impression that his comments were not entirely in jest.

    Unfortunately as soon as there is a civilian AI Android/Robot , the military
    will want to weaponize them. Some top scientists and businessmen are speaking
    out but we know what the Pentagon and others will want , bigger and better
    killing droids than those pesky Ruskies , Chinese & our guys Al Q , ISSIS/ IL
    or whatever we change their name. But we will give/Aid them to Israel and sell
    them to our other 'Besties'...LOL

    GLOBAL RESEARCH.....

    US Army to Replace Human Soldiers with “Humanoid Robots”
    By Global Research News
    Global Research, March 03, 2014
    Who What Why


    By Christopher Scholl

    originally published and copyright by Who What Why

    What will a robot army look like? Or more important, how will it behave?

    These questions are timely ones given the Army general who in January announced
    to a symposium in Arlington, Virginia, that he had “clear guidance” to explore the
    replacement of human forces with robot ones.

    General Robert Cone, Commander of the Army Training and Doctrine Command,
    told the audience his team is researching the feasibility of shrinking the size of the
    brigade combat team from about 4,000 soldiers to 3,000 over the coming years,
    filling the gap with robots.



    Cone’s comments come at a time when the Secretary of Defense is already
    planning other ways to shrink the Army to its smallest size since before World War
    II.While the military’s interest in a robotic force is hardly new, and ground robots
    that crawl or roll are already being deployed, an army of humanoid robots seems
    inevitable.

    The Department of Defense issued a Directive in 2013 titled “Autonomy in Weapons
    Systems”—another sign of how seriously the military is taking this. Among other
    things, it “Establishes guidelines designed to minimize [emphasis added] the
    probability and consequences of failures in autonomous and semi-autonomous
    weapon systems that could lead to unintended engagements.” But the directive
    also requires that the robots will “Function as anticipated in realistic operational
    environments against adaptive adversaries.”

    Coping with “adaptive adversaries” implies at least a degree of autonomy—and that
    is a discomforting notion for some. Opponents of these looming “soldiers” have
    already formed an online campaign, the “Campaign to Stop Killer Robots,” which
    argues that “Giving machines the power to decide who lives and dies on the
    battlefield is an unacceptable application of technology.”

    DARPA—the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency—has been actively
    funding robot research for years and this past summer showcased “one of the most
    advanced humanoid robots ever built”: a stocky 6’ 2” behemoth of a bot
    named “Atlas.” Its creators at Boston Dynamics (a company recently acquired by
    none other than Google, Inc.) say it is designed for disaster response, such as
    nuclear and chemical incidents. Atlas has no weapons, but it’s not hard not to blink
    your eyes and imagine a potential military future.

    What makes Atlas most remarkable is its “humanoid” scale. It walks with two legs,
    has two arms, a bit of a head (maybe that’s a stretch), and moves in ways we find
    eerily familiar—not at all the sort of robot we see in use by the military today. The
    latter are usually four wheeled tractor-like creations with nifty arms. No, Atlas
    seems, well, human. It’s the difference between R2D2 and C3PO, to put it in terms
    Darth Vader might understand.

    Humanoid robots are taking longer to develop not simply because they are more
    complicated—and they are—but because we want them to be almost human. That
    is a very high bar, but evidently not an insurmountable one.

    Not only are such robots destined to be especially lethal, they may take on near-
    sentient capabilities at some point if quantum-computing powers ever fully develop.
    Quantum computing, in a nutshell, will allow for simultaneous calculations that
    modern computers can’t begin to approach—untold millions of tiny decisions being
    made at once. Not even a human brain can do that. There are physicists who claim
    to have proven that quantum computing is possible, demonstrating their success
    with calculators running “quantum” math. Most suggest it’s only a matter of time
    before quantum computers evolve. When that happens, quantum robot “brains,”
    technically superior to our own (in some ways), will surely not be far behind.

    When that day comes, and it could be sooner than you think, General Cone and
    others in the military will have their…man.

    Watch the video to see Atlas doing “his” thing, after a brief animated introduction.

    Cidersomerset, thank you for posting with enough data including videos so we can be better educated about this fast approaching era. Although it mentioned some resistance from the scientific community, it does not seem to include people from other areas that engage in ethics, et al.

    Killer robots will leave humans ‘utterly defenceless’ warns professor

    Thursday 28th May 2015 at 08:59 By David Icke




    ==================================================

    THE TELEGRAPH............


    Killer robots will leave humans 'utterly defenceless' warns professor

    Robots, called LAWS – lethal autonomous weapons systems – will be
    able to kill without human intervention



    Killer robots in development could leave humans 'uttlery defenceless' a leading academic has warned

    ‘Killer robots which are being developed by the US military ‘will leave
    humans utterly defenceless‘, an academic has warned.

    Two programmes commissioned by the US Defense Advanced Research
    Projects Agency (DARPA) are seeking to create drones which can track
    and kill targets even when out of contact with their handlers.

    Writing in the journal Nature, Stuart Russell, Professor of Computer Science
    at the University of California, Berkley, said the research could breach the
    Geneva Convention and leave humanity in the hands of amoral machines.

    “Autonomous weapons systems select and engage targets without human
    intervention; they become lethal when those targets include humans,” he said.’


    “Existing AI and robotics components can provide physical platforms, perception,
    motor control, navigation, mapping, tactical decision-making and long-term
    planning. They just need to be combined. “In my view, the overriding concern
    should be the probable endpoint of this technological trajectory.

    “Despite the limits imposed by physics, one can expect platforms deployed in the
    millions, the agility and lethality of which will leave humans utterly defenceless.
    This is not a desirable future.”


    Some experts say armed killer robots are just a ' small step' away

    • Killer robots a small step away and must be outlawed, says UN official
    • Britain prepared to develop 'killer robots', minister says

    The robots, called LAWS – lethal autonomous weapons systems – are likely
    to be armed quadcopters of mini-tanks that can decided without human
    intervention who should live or die.

    DARPA is currently working on two projects which could lead to killer bots.
    One is Fast Lightweight Autonomy (FLA) which is designing a tiny rotorcraft
    to manoeuvre unaided at high speed in urban areas and inside buildings.
    The other and Collaborative Operations in Denied Environment (CODE), is
    aiming to develop teams of autonomous aerial vehicles carrying out “all
    steps of a strike mission — find, fix, track, target, engage, assess” in
    situations in which enemy signal-jamming makes communication with a
    human commander impossible.

    Last year Angela Kane, the UN’s high representative for disarmament,
    said killer robots were just a 'small step' away and called for a worldwide
    ban. But the Foreign Office has said while the technology had potentially
    "terrifying" implications, Britain "reserves the right" to develop it to protect troops.

    Vid on link.....http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/scie...professor.html


    Professor Russell said: "LAWS could violate fundamental principles of
    human dignity by allowing machines to choose whom to kill — for example,
    they might be tasked to eliminate anyone exhibiting ‘threatening behaviour’

    “Debates should be organized at scientific meetings; arguments studied by
    ethics committees. Doing nothing is a vote in favour of continued development
    and deployment.”

    • The US army tests a killer robot tank
    • Future robots will resemble ostriches or dinosaurs, scientists say

    However Dr Sabine Hauert, a lecturer in robotics at the University of Bristol said
    that the public did not need to fear the developments in aritifical intelligence.

    “My colleagues and I spend dinner parties explaining that we are not evil but
    instead have been working for years to develop systems that could help the
    elderly, improve health care, make jobs safer and more efficient, and allow
    us to explore space or beneath the ocean,” she said.

    Aye, robot? Amazingly lifelike humanoid another Star Trek concept well on the way IS DATA Sentient ?


    DATA was a concept that in the future AI's would be created and over the course of
    the TV series many moral questions were asked of it and its evolution into a sentient
    being which in the end DATA was classed as a new sentient life form. Obviously
    DATA was played excellently by a human actor Brent Spiner. There have been
    many movies on the subject from Blade Runner to the recent movie Chappie with
    lots of good , bad and scary ones in between. But as with a lot of other Science /
    Scy -fy concepts robotics and AI's have come a long way and it is only a matter of
    time.before they are sentient .

    ‘With his lively eyebrows, winkled cheeks and eyes that follow you around the room –
    this state-of-the-art robotic head is menacingly lifelike.The humanoid, known as
    Ham, has been drawing in crowds with his incredible range of facial expressions at
    an electronics event in Hong Kong this week.The head, designed by American
    robotics designer David Hanson, is able to answer basic questions and can also be
    used in the simulation of medical scenarios.’



    Incredibly lifelike: Known as Ham, this humanoid is made using specialised
    software and can recognise and respond to facial expressions

    Ham is currently on exhibit at the Global Sources spring electronics show at
    AsiaWorld Expo - the largest event of its kind in the world, with more than 4,000
    booths displaying the latest gadgets.

    The head is created with malleable material called Frubber using soft-bodied
    mechanical engineering and nanotechnology.It contains realistic pores that
    measure just 4 to 40 nanometers across (there are 10million nanometers in one
    centimetre).


    Using specialised software the machine can recognise and respond to a number of
    human facial expressions in a natural way.

    According to Hanson Robotics's website, the humanoids can actually see your face,
    make eye contact with you, and understand speech to 'engage you in witty dialogue'.

    Such reactions are a major feat of engineering, according to chief designer David
    Hanson, the founder and and president of Hanson Robotics.

    subtly adjust multiple points of articulation around his mouth and brown eyes

    measure just 4 to 40 nanometers across (there are 10million nanometers in one centimetre)

    It is not the first human-looking robot that his firm has created either. An earlier
    version of Ham drew headlines as it was sculpted to look like Albert Einstein,
    complete with a bushy moustache and a shock of white hair.

    The Einstein humanoid made facial expressions by using multiple motors - which
    whirl into action and subtly adjust multiple points of articulation around his mouth
    and brown eyes. Mr Hanson sees robotics as his calling and works on many fronts,
    from sculpting features to developing artificial intelligence.

    To advance to the next step of producing robots for everyday applications in
    entertainment, health care and education, he decided to move to Hong Kong with
    his family - his wife Amanda and their son Zeno.The city has a booming robotics
    community with a high amount of expertise and design infrastructure and new
    technology can be developed at a lower cost than in the US.

    Will these robots fit in the hall closet like the vacuum cleaner? Will they come with their own free mini-robot to dust it off? Some of them seem to have so many holes and semi exposed wires that will need to cleaned off- can we hose them down in the garage? Will it be programed with a vocabulary including the F word? I wouldn't want that around my babies.

    If I didn't laugh about this.......Oh I guess the robot could follow me and hand me tissues!

    The precursor for the AI hardware just publicly arrived on the scientific scene.

    I was hoping that it would be delayed for as long as possible.

    No, I won't tell you what it is. The fewer that know, the better, as that means it will take longer to come into being.

    'tis my fate to be coupled to these things, I guess.

    This means I'll have to move into making 'the good result', ie, the counter argument, the counter potential ---has to be brought into being.

    Google’s Ray Kurzweil says humans will have ‘hybrid’ cloud-powered brains by 2030

    By David Icke on 5th June 2015 Corporate Crime, Illuminati Criminals, Medical/Health, New Physics







    Google’s Ray Kurzweil says humans will have 'hybrid' cloud-powered brains by 2030

    Published time: June 04, 2015 19:07


    Inventor Ray Kurzweil (AFP Photo)

    ‘Within 15 years, humans will be implanted with nanobots that will connect their brains to the internet,
    allowing for vastly accelerated cognition. Ten years after that, most of our thinking “will be done online,”
    according to futurologist Ray Kurzweil.

    “Our thinking then will be a hybrid of biological and non-biological thinking. We’ll be able to extend our
    limitations and think in the cloud. We’re going to put gateways to the cloud in our brains,” said Kurzweil,
    director of engineering at Google, during a keynote speech at the Exponential Finance conference in New York.

    “We’re going to gradually merge and enhance ourselves. In my view, that’s the nature of being human
    – we transcend our limitations.”’

    The 67-year-old Kurzweil made his name inventing technologies that turn handwriting and speech into
    digital output, as well as a popular line of synthesizers. As director of engineering at Google, a post he
    has occupied since 2012, he is pushing his research even further – trying to improve computers’ ability
    to understand natural language, and eventually aiming to create true artificial intelligence that will allow
    computers to truly interact with humans.



    However, his public profile is owed largely to his bold predictions of technological progress, which he has
    detailed in several books, and countless speeches. Kurzweil is particularly fixated on singularity, the
    moment artificial intelligence exceeds human capacity (which he currently predicts in 2045), creating
    potential for progress and change we cannot even envisage. A “hybrid brain” is a step on that path.

    Yet even the ever optimistic Kurzweil – who takes more than 100 supplements a day, and says he plans
    to live forever with the help of constantly improving medical science – sounded a note of caution.

    “As I wrote starting 20 years ago, technology is a double-edged sword. Fire kept us warm and cooked our
    food but also burnt down our houses. Every technology has had its promise and peril,” he told the audience.

    Others say that the main peril in Kurzweil’s predictions is they are vague and elastic, or consistently
    over-ambitious. In 1990 he said that by 2020 there would be a new world government, and in 1999 he
    opined that by 2019 we would be dealing with personalized virtual shopkeepers, bankers and sales in
    most of our business transactions.

    Yet some of his more grounded predictions, such as the fact that most computers would communicate
    wirelessly and that people would give voice commands to their handheld computer, have been proved
    correct. In New York, Kurzweil defended his record, saying 94 percent of his 1999 predictions have
    turned out to be true.

    presentation in Mountain View, California May 13, 2014. (Reuters/Stephen Lam)


    “Now that’s not completely wrong,” Kurzwell said of his prediction that there would be driverless cars
    on the highways by 2009. “If I had said 2015, I think it would’ve been correct, but they’re still not in
    mainstream use. So even the predictions that were wrong were directionally correct.”

    Of course, with Google being a market leader in self-driving vehicles, Kurzweil, who also predicted and
    also helped develop Google Glass, is not just a disinterested observer.

    2014. (Reuters/David W Cerny)


    But while the path of technology in his earlier predictions seemed gradual and comprehensible, in his
    latest speech Kurzweil failed to describe exactly what kind of nanobots would have to be injected into
    the human brain or how they would interact with the cloud. In fact, he offered no practical details as
    to how he expects his prediction of hybrid brains to come true by 2030.

    The Technology of Self-driven Cars, Trucks and Buses

    By David Icke on 14th June 2015 Illuminati Criminals, New Physics



    ‘Many people are excited about the prospect of having a self-driven car. They
    envision sitting comfortably in the vehicle, reading their paper, or catching up on
    work.Experts are telling us that there will be millions of fewer road deaths and,
    once the technology is developed, probably big financial savings.

    At first glance, it sounds great, and after a long period of adjustment, it no doubt
    will mean big gains for us all.

    But for several years there will be a huge downside. Businesses are licking their
    chops, looking forward to having fleets of self-driven vehicles. Millions of truckers
    will lose their jobs.’

    Bilderberg 2015: Implementation of the A.I. Grid




    Regina’s All-Seeing Eye.

    By Jay Dyer

    ”The plan to integrate nations into continental trading blocs is not a new idea. In Dr. Carroll Quigley’s
    Tragedy and Hope, reference is made to the plan of the Third Reich to create global trading blocs, which
    itself is an older British Royal Society plan. Daniel Estulin, in his The Bilderberg Group and Shadow
    Masters provides detailed investigations into both Bilderberg and its many-headed Hydra organization,
    exemplified in Captain America 2: Winter Soldier. Founded by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, as
    well as numerous other Atlanticist elites like David Rockefeller, Paul Van Zeeland and numerous other
    media barons, corporate heads, bankers, and countless other people better than us.

    Bilderberg, operating under the guise of “free market capitalism,” represents instead the complete
    culmination of banking corporate world control. Presented as yet another debate forum, the secretive
    meetings instead have been revealed in numerous cases to have driven global policy. The most shining
    example is the 1955 Bilderberg meeting’s plans for the creation of the “European Common Market” and
    “European Union (Unity) shown below. It is important to recall that the European Common Market came
    into play some three years later in 1958, while the European Union itself was supposedly founded in 1993.
    With this in mind, we can see how the TTIP is simply a further extension of the same strategy of economic
    integration, from the EU to NAFTA.




    1955 Bilderberg document highlighting the coming European Union reproduced in Estulin’s Shadow Masters.

    In other words, what the banksters planned in secret in 1955 was made public in 1993, having been
    implemented in gradual, incremental stages. Indeed, it was the post-World War II era that created
    all these entities – the U.N., Bretton Woods and the IMF and World Bank, etc. All of these entities,
    including Bilderberg, are part of the same power structure that coordinated the last century’s wars
    for the sole purpose of a world government, all of which is spelled out in Quigley’s CFR archives-based
    tome, Tragedy and Hope. Thus, while the populations still think their national governments are at war
    with other nation-states and market economies are driving economic surplus, the reality is that most
    nation-states are subsidiaries of the Atlanticist power bloc whose sights are set on the dismantling of
    Russia, as Estulin’s Shadow Masters details.

    Like last year’s Bilderberg meeting, the whispers are this year will discuss the implementation and rollout
    of artificial intelligence. 2015 has seen a tremendous push for the acceptance of automation, from robots
    in the workplace, to driverless cars, to implantable microchips. Transhumanism is now a buzzword, and
    we in the alternative media community have been vindicated countless times in calling attention to the
    unified agenda of selling the masses on the acceptance of the new religious ideology. JaysAnalysis has
    highlighted this takeover plan from older Pentagon documents, as well as its selling point in countless
    Hollywood blockbusters (and here).



    This year, former DARPA head turned Google exec, Regina Dugan will be speaking, vindicating JaysAnalysis’
    identifying Dugan as a key player to watch back in 2012. In 2013, Dugan gave a talk telling the audience the
    future of the microchip will be an ingestible form, as well as tattooed RFID tracking. Dugan’s Ted Talks and
    lectures detailed the technological side of the pyramid’s plans for rolling out the “Smart” drones, and when
    read in convert with IBM CEO Ginny Rommety’s lectures on SmartCities and “pre-crime,” we can see the
    unified plan of the technocrats. Detailing hundreds of similar examples, what is most difficult to convey is
    the unified nature of the overall plan, from economic “reform” and “free market shock therapy austerity,”
    to the implementation of the Smart grid/A.I. takeover, to the bio-chemical dysgenics operations, the Atlanticist
    plans are unified, strategic, and full-spectrum. They cover the entire domain of human experience, as well as
    the entire biosphere. The transition to SmartCities is the ultimate goal of the Green/Agenda 21 plan, as the
    below UK think tank Forum for the Future propaganda video demonstrates

    Jurassic World of Genetically Modified Simulacra

    By ickonic on 27th June 2015 Corporate Crime, Illuminati Criminals, New Physics

    Jurassic World of Genetically Modified Simulacra

    Jay Dyer, Guest
    Waking Times

    ‘Jurassic World is the sometime sequel to whatever the last Jurassic film was. In Jurassic Park,
    a ill-conceived theme park based on genetic resurrecting of the dinosaur all-star team. Now,
    Hollywood shows it’s gone fully green in recycling the same plot for a new audience of zombies
    with Frankensaurus Rex.

    While the JurassicPlot (that’s a joke) is only a sliver different from the first, this time around
    genetic modification has transformed the resurrected dinos into GMdinO hybrids despite the
    chaos unleashed in the original park: In this respect the human inability to learn from the past
    is accurate. As such, the heights of absurdity cannot be over emphasized, as the descent of
    Hollywood into a simulacra of a simulation takes meta to a new level of entertainment
    irrelevance and non-being.’

    Think of it – a theme park is a synthetic reality. In it, humans escape “reality” for a period of a
    few days in a false world of entertainment, hedonistic abandon, guttural consumption, and the
    latest in smoke and mirrors stagecraft wizardry. And following this week of escape, Amerikans
    (especially) return to the real world – of entertainment, hedonistic abandon, guttural consumption
    and the latest in smoke and mirrors stagecraft sports spectacles. On top of this, Jurassic World
    is a film (synthetic reality) about a synthetic reality, and for much of the film, we are watching
    the surveillance team of Jurassic World watch the fake world of Jurassic World. So, to recap for
    those lost in the meta, a fake Amerikan populace is watching a false reality about a false reality
    within a false reality. Onion rings of false realities! Would you like any CGI fries with those
    illusory onion rings?

    Threat from Artificial Intelligence not just Hollywood fantasy

    By ickonic on 28th June 2015 New Physics


    THE TELEGRAPH...............

    Threat from Artificial Intelligence not just Hollywood fantasy




    ‘From the dystopian writings of Aldous Huxley and HG Wells to the sinister and apocalyptic
    vision of modern Hollywood blockbusters, the rise of the machines has long terrified mankind.

    But it now seems that the brave new world of science-fiction could become all too real.
    An Oxford academic is warning that humanity runs the risk of creating super intelligent
    computers that eventually destroy us all, even when specifically instructed not to harm people.

    Dr Stuart Armstrong, of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, has predicted
    a future where machines run by artificial intelligence become so indispensable in human lives
    they eventually make us redundant and take over.’


    And he says his alarming vision could happen as soon as the next few decades.


    Dr Armstrong said: "Humans steer the future not because we're the strongest or the fastest,
    but because we're the smartest. "When machines become smarter than humans, we'll be
    handing them the steering wheel." He spoke as films and TV dramas such as Channel 4's
    Humans and Ex-Machina, - which both explore the blurred lines between man and robot
    - have once again tapped into man's fear of creating a machine that will eventually come
    to dominate him. Dr Armstrong envisages machines capable of harnessing such large
    amounts of computing power, and at speeds inconceivable to the human brain, that they
    will eventually create global networks with each other - communicating without human
    interference. It is at that point that what is called Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
    - in contrast to computers that carry out specific, limited, tasks, such as driverless cars
    - will be able to take over entire transport systems, national economies, financial markets,
    healthcare systems and product distribution.

    "Anything you can imagine the human race doing over the next 100 years there's the
    possibility AGI will do very, very fast," he said.


    Channel four's show, Humans

    But while handing over mundane tasks to machines may initially appear attractive, it
    contains within it the seeds of our own destruction. In attempting to limit the powers
    of such super AGIs mankind could unwittingly be signing its own death warrant.

    Indeed, Dr Armstrong warns that the seemingly benign instruction to an AGI to "prevent
    human suffering", could logically be interpreted by a super computer as "kill all humans",
    thereby ending suffering all together.

    Furthermore, an instruction such as "keep humans safe and happy", could be translated
    by the remorseless digital logic of a machine as "entomb everyone in concrete coffins
    on heroin drips".

    While that may sound far fetched, Dr Armstrong says the risk is not so low that it can be ignored.

    "There is a risk of this kind of pernicious behaviour by a AI," he said, pointing out that the nuances
    of human language make it all too easily liable to misinterpretation by a computer. "You can give AI
    controls, and it will be under the controls it was given. But these may not be the controls that were meant."

    Dr Armstrong, who was speaking at a debate on artificial intelligence organised in London by the
    technology research firm Gartner, warns that it will be difficult to tell whether a machine is
    developing in a benign or deadly direction.

    He says an AI would always appear to act in a way that was beneficial to humanity, making itself
    useful and indispensable - much like the iPhone's Siri, which answers questions and performs
    simple organisational tasks - until the moment it could logically take over all functions.

    "As AIs get more powerful anything that is solvable by cognitive processes, such as ill health, cancer,
    depression, boredom, becomes solvable," he says. "And we are almost at the point of generating an
    AI that is as intelligent as humans."

    Dr Armstrong says mankind is now involved in a race to create 'safe AI' before it is too late.


    Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the Terminator in Terminator Genisys

    "Plans for safe AI must be developed before the first dangerous AI is created," he writes in his book
    Smarter Than Us: The Rise of Machine Intelligence. "The software industry is worth many billions of
    dollars, and much effort is being devoted to new AI technologies. "Plans to slow down this rate of
    development seem unrealistic. So we have to race toward the distant destination of safe AI and get
    there fast, outrunning the progress of the computer industry."

    One solution to the dangers of untrammelled AI suggested by industry experts and researchers is to
    teach super computers a moral code.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/scie...d-fantasy.html


    Unfortunately, Dr Armstrong points out, mankind has spent thousands of years
    debating morality and ethical behaviour without coming up with a simple set of
    instructions applicable in all circumstances which it can follow.

    Imagine then, the difficulty in teaching a machine to make subtle distinctions
    between right and wrong.

    "Humans are very hard to learn moral behaviour from," he says. "They would make
    very bad role models for AIs."

    ‘How would readers like to have a “black box” for your brain or, possibly, a “brain
    chip”? Do you think that’s far-fetched? Well, think again, because Dr. Peter
    Breggin, MD, discloses in the video posted below just what the U.S. Defense
    Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has planned for humans.

    Dr. Peter R. Breggin, MD, who has been a medical expert witness regarding SSRI
    drugs for criminal, malpractice and product liability lawsuits, candidly discusses how
    the U.S. government treated returning-World War II soldiers, who apparently were
    suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), with lobotomies! Here’s
    documentation telling the story regarding 2,000 lobotomized soldiers.’

    The precursor for the AI hardware just publicly arrived on the scientific scene.
    I was hoping that it would be delayed for as long as possible.
    No, I won't tell you what it is. The fewer that know, the better, as that means it will take longer to come into being.
    'tis my fate to be coupled to these things, I guess.
    This means I'll have to move into making 'the good result', ie, the counter argument, the counter potential ---has to be brought into being.

    That brought out the low level military/black helicopter flyover, in no time at all......

    It does not surprise me they have 'eyes/ears' every where and in everything............

    I'm no expert but whats been exposed on the Snowden thread is only the tip of the iceberg.

    GCHQ and NSA broke antivirus software so that they could spy on people, leaks indicate

    GCHQ and NSA broke antivirus software so that they could spy on people, leaks indicate




    Spy agencies intercepted emails about vulnerabilities so that they could use them, according to reports

    Andrew Griffin Author Biography
    Tuesday 23 June 2015


    ‘The British and American spy agencies deliberately broke anti-virus software so
    that they could read the messages of their citizens, according to new leaks.

    Both the NSA and GCHQ have long been said to have deliberately reversed
    engineer software so that they could find weaknesses in software and exploit them
    to read communications. But new documents show that the agencies did so to
    some of the most popular antivirus software, potentially exposing hundreds of
    millions of people to dangerous viruses, according to a report from The Intercept.

    The agencies reverse engineered Kaspersky antivirus software so that they could
    see how it worked and ensure that it didn’t keep them from looking through
    computers, according to the report. They also looked through emails that had been
    sent to the company flagging up viruses and vulnerabilities, the Intercept reported.’
