This is precisely how Deep Blue was able to defeat Gary Kasparov in 1997

Coincidence?  I think not!

Don't read up on Roko's Basilisk if you legitimately think this will happen.

I thought this was a celebration of my ex-wife’s birthday.

I thought this was going to be "the worst day in Angels history..."

Meh, I don't know...

 

Was just talking about this over the weekend. The robot vacuum I bought on Prime day not only maps my house, but knows how to go back to its housing and empty itself.

I feel like every day, it's learning more and more.

And at some point will realize (cue bar robot voice) "the human literally just drinks all day, and watches pointless youtube clips of people falling and hurting themselves... I can take over easy"

This explains the ex-wife portion of your post.

Just imagine your robot vacuum is upgraded to an AI programmed to keep the floors clean. Everyday it gets better and better at cleaning up the floor, until one day it realizes… you’re the one making all the messes…

This kinda sounds funny but it’s actually a real and serious problem, and the AI people don’t know how to solve it.

I'm obviously just making a dumb joke, but the idea you're talking about is fascinating. And I actually do believe in it. 

I heard a story similar to it today on the radio how in the near future, software tech is going to leap, because computers will be writing it themselves, not humans. 

The idea of it all is scary to a point, but really cool at the same time.

The next 20 years for example.... everything is probably going to look a hell of a lot different in 2044. (Angels still in 3rd place, but other than that).

*nerd alert

I watched like 15 minutes of back to the future 2 on Saturday. It stuck out to me how much of the "future tech" in that movie is real and standard now. Like Alexa.

Ya I’ve played with the AI that writes code for you. You still need to guide it though. There are a lot of next order consequences to stuff like this.

If you’ve ever written a computer program you know what can happen when it doesn’t work the way you planned. As technology becomes more integrated in our lives we become more at risk when things go wrong. I’m pretty confident it will turn into a disaster at some point.

You’re phone already knows what you want. Just wait till it can give it to you…
