No problem and no resistance, I am only wondering why he sounds so worried with that particular technology. :)

Well its not just him, there is a lot of people concerned about the potential risks the technology presents.

Quote
No, as the situation is not the same, AI is something that is widely used in many countries, with many private and public organisations studying it.

Its kind of the same thing, at the time there was more nations working on the bomb, but USA was the first. Think about if it was nazy germany?

Regarding the "risk meter" between the bomb and AI, one may make the assumption they are not in the same level of risk but I would be very careful in saying that, cause AI robots and nanotechnology seems a very, very dangerous recipe.

We tend to think about AI robots as something "ethereal" because we dont see it in the streets yet, but this will change and the people reactions will be very interesting to see. Soon enough.

And then, there is something Elon point out i find really disturbing, He says 12% of the jobs in the world are related to transportation and it will be the firt jobs we will see vanishing in a mass scale. How the nations will handle it? It will be a mess...

We're living in the bloody Terminator film.

I find the Matrix approach even more disturbing ;)

It's not, as they were working on something new, they were all learning as they went along. AI is something that has been around for around 60 years.

It's a different kind of risk, AI is less likely to kill thousands in one event like an atom bomb, AI is more likely to be bad like a virus.

That's another misconception, that AI only applies to robots. AI is not linked to robots, it can (and is) applied to any computer like device. Also, as I said before, those self driving cars are really robots, and while most people think they are not here, the fact is that there are already several cars that park by themselves, so when they do it they are acting as robots.

That's why they call them industrial revolutions. :)

Fair enough.

We can't really tell for sure for how long they were worKing on the bomb at that time, so in my point of view, its the same thing. :)

Virus can kill thousants in one event too... Nanothecnology + robots + AI,  dangerous recipe.

It reminds me the black mirror episode where a guy try to use robot bees to mass murder in USA. Fiction? We see art imitating life and vice versa all the time.

And yet people don't realise it. I think its because cars are common sense and trivial for some generations that they look to a car and can only see a car, even if it act as a robot.

Imagine the shock when they start to see what they are used to perceive as a robot ("archetype"), i mean, the "average joe" common sense, walking in the streets or in places of common use...

Right... But I think people 100 year in the future will call this period of time the begining of the AI relovoution or Robot revolution or even the blend of the nomenclatures. :)

If we accept the official story nuclear fission was discovered only one year before they started working on the bomb.

One virus cannot kill one person, much less thousands, millions of virus can kill a person.

I don't think there will be a shock, as it would be, like everything else, gradual.

When it comes to military "things", that is a big IF.

Quote

Is it not common sense that a virus replicate in the human body?

I though it was implicit. But yes a virus proliferates in the human body .. it means it does not act alone. It can kill millions, just like an atom bomb.:)

Quote

Even when gradual, it cause awe... Just like the first time someone saw an iphone, or a computer or a car, or an UFO.

If it replicates then it's not one, and the replication takes time. In many cases one virus alone can be defeated.

I suppose so, but as that never happens to me I'm not a good judge of awesomeness. :)

The discovery was not military.

It was under their control. Manhattan Project under the direction of Major General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The discover of the bomb was military. Probably they worked hard on the nuclear fission glimpsing to make the bomb as the main objective to end the war among other things. So nuclear fission is a discover driven by military purposes and it was probably a race to see who would discover a way to do it first during the whole war.

Lucky us that Otto Hahn was against the use of nuclear energy as a weapon and an anti nazy, or we could be living on a factual third reich.

We are not talking of a common virus, a natural virus remember? AI + nanobots acting like a virus.

ArMaP,

The concept of nuclear fission originated with Leo Szilard in 1933.

The first working pile was powered up in Chicago in 1942. By that time the military was onboard.

The discovery of nuclear fission was made in 1938, before the Manhattan Project. Also, several people were studying and working in that area, and they talked to each other, it wasn't a secret owned by one country.

That was not a discovery, it was a way of using the energy released by a chain reaction.

Nuclear fission and chain reactions were discovered before the start of WWII.

I doubt it, Germany didn't have enough resources for that, both human and material, and they dispersed many investigation groups at the start of the was, as they thought having fighting men was more important.

By that time, yes, but they didn't start it, that's what I was saying, it was not a military investigation that lead to it.

What the military did was create the technology necessary to use it. In the case of AI it would be something like creating a programming language better suited to be applied to a new kind of AI.

A way to use energy released by a chain reaction is a discover. People need to realise that.

Quote
Nuclear fission and chain reactions were discovered before the start of WWII.

What I meant was accelerate, refine the studies on how to implement, to put into effect the nuclear fission to make the bomb.

Quote
I doubt it, Germany didn't have enough resources for that, both human and material, and they dispersed many investigation groups at the start of the was, as they thought having fighting men was more important.

But it is not a certain. There are many arguments as to why Nazi Germany was unable to develop an atomic bomb during World War II. There was evidence of sabotage and evidence of simple failure.

Quote
I couldn't remember something I didn't know, when I talked about virus I was talking about natural virus.

But this thread is about AI and Robots... The whole point of my posts were to discuss the dangerous of it.

So AI Robots more dangerous than Nukes? In my opinion it could be. If not because they could become self aware and turn against us, there is the risk of a totalitarian government or a private association using it to create a dystopian reality. :)

I wasn't, that way it would be hard for us to agree, each one was talking about one thing. :)

Quote

I don't see solving a problem as a discovery, I see a discovery as something unexpected, solving a problem is just that, finding a solution. And the case was not really how to use the energy released by a chain reaction, as the energy release is a bomb by itself, they needed to have some kind of control of how it went.

Quote

Again, we were talking about different things. It would be easier (maybe) if we were talking in Portuguese. ;)

Quote

And, as I said, many evidences that the Nazis thought that they wouldn't need all those scientists in the labs as they would win the war with they blitzkrieg. When they saw they could not then they put the (remaining) scientists back on the labs, but it was too late and they put them to work on specific things, like jet aeroplanes and rockets.

Quote

Yes, but the first reference to virus was made by me, and I was talking about natural virus.

I think it's mostly a different kind of dangerous, as robots are not dangerous just by existing, while a nuclear bomb is always a dangerous thing. Also, a nuclear bomb that goes off cannot be contained in any way, while rogue AI can (at least at first) be controlled.

Unless they get nuclear bombs.  :P

Discovery to me is to obtain sight or knowledge of something for the first time in the sense that you can have many applications to energy released by a chain reaction.

Let's suppose that someone find out today an unprecedented use to it that was never thought before. In my point of view it would be a discover.

 ;D True that. Maybe its time to us make a section on this site for the PT/BR public... :P

And on the atom bomb...As i said.. IF (and this is a big if) they had achieve it first we could be living in a world were Nazis won the war

Quote
Yes, but the first reference to virus was made by me, and I was talking about natural virus.

When you said "AI is more likely to be bad like a virus" i assumed you were talking about virus in a AI based context. I think I will start talking with you by PMs first, and then post :P

Right. Actually, most of the time the scientists spent was on the weaponization after the research was militarized.
