I just started watching this in physics today, for some weird reason. We got to the bit where they were about to enter the big spaceship, which is still essentially the start. (yeah, we talk a bit)
Teacher asked if there were any questions, and some one asked "yeah, uh, wtf?' Lulz be had.
noice 
The opening is iconic

When you see it...
Same can be said for the shape of the odyssey, damn Kubrick was naughty lololololol
Me too. When I was 8 years old (1981) . It scared the crap out of me.Kmarion wrote:

I turned it off after the first 15 minutes of screaming monkeys.
Too close to home eh?Hakei wrote:

I had enough of the whole 'monkey boy' thing at school Kmarion, it wasn't funny then and it isn't funny now.

oh my god, man came from monkeys and this scene so epically shows our savage nature and how we really aren't different from animals or the apes we came form to begin with. Just look at that ape beat the bones with a another bone. The metaphor for humanity is soooo deep and clever that it is really lost on many people. Plus the same classical music that is played in every movie's "epic" scene is used here is well unlike how it used in every other fucking movie. Did you see that pig fall. Boom out of nowhere a pig fell. Pure art. God damn Kubrick was a genius.
Japanese femme bots where they at!?!?

Haha. Fan beats man.
My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.
You were called monkey boy at school? Should have got a back wax.Hakei wrote:

Read Ray Kurzweil. He's quoted in the article. He believes technological singularity (the moment when technological advances happen so fast, almost instantaneouly, that they will advance faster than man can control) will happen by 2030. Most AI futurists don't debate that man will create a sentient robotic being, the key is when it will happen. Kurzweil is the most optimistic(?) in his guess, but many believe it will happen before the 21st century.
2012 tbh
no not really

Sorry, I meant to say before the end of the 21st century. Anything else to add, or was that just a mindless troll?Ioan92 wrote:

By the way, here is something from another thread:
KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
We are on a path to reaching technological singularity whereby technological advances happen almost instantaneously and perhaps eventually beyond human control. I recommend reading The Age of Intelligent Machines by Ray Kurzweil. He is one of the leading minds in AI research, especially regarding reproducing biological functions. His painting of the future is both chilling and exciting regarding human/computer interaction. It's really so interesting I can't begin to go on and I know people here won't read a ridiculously long post but I can assure you that it is worth the read. It is science liberally mixed with spirituality which provides what I think is an easier understanding because he gives it a kind of humanist twinge on what he sees as an inevitable computer intelligence age of enlightenment.
You should also check out Super Intelligent Machines by Bill Hibbard for a more rational (albeit boring) approach to the idea of human/technological singularity. I obviously enjoyed Kurzweils overly optimistic and more transcendental approach but Kurzweil is definitely the potatoes to Hibbard's mea...well you get the picture.
By the way Ray Kurzweil predicts the year 2030
A look at Transcendent Man, new documentary about Mr. Kurzweil and his almost maniacal quest for immortality and his sentimental yearn to recreate his father.
Robots won't want to take over the world.
They would never have a reason to.
They would never have a reason to.
Why not? What if they need resources to create more robots? I wonder if man will readily accept the integration of AI parts, or if there will be resistence. There are definitely some interesting social questions that will be raised. Will sports atheletes be allowed to use bionic devices? What about artificially increased intelligence? Or the age-old favorite - when does a hybrid man/machine cease to be human?Doctor Strangelove wrote:

They won't as long as we don't program them to think that.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

As they become more and more autonomous it's almost impossible to do that. Once we reach the stage of a fully autonomous robot the next point will be "right, now lets make it more powerful and better" as is natural with mankind, eventually that machine will reach and surpass the human brain. The point after that is what they call technological singularity. Where the machine can then redesign itself in ways unthinkable by man and basically just get exponentially more powerful. Or something like that.Ioan92 wrote:

Of course you could just program it to not do certain things, but then any such machine would really not be powerful if they wanted to make a machine as powerful as a human brain, which people do and will. It's something that's practically inevitable, IMO.
I'm no expert on all this, but that's what I think.
Machines will never be more intelligent than their designers. But they can have a learning mode, like terminators do.Mekstizzle wrote:

There's no use just "worrying" about it, DO something about it! NOW!
