For current AI systems they do. It's called programming. Unless you have a counterexample...

I'm just a simple country boy and don't understand complex physics. For the sake of me, and maybe others who are similarly scientifically illiterate, could you explain what you mean by "event horizon" please.Cowsham wrote: ↑8 Jun 2023, 11:34amThere will be a machine super intelligence on this planet and this will happen very soon after the event horizon of this technology which is coming at speed now hence all the noise in the press about it currently.
This is only thing I believe is a certainty
I've been warning about it for many years ( about 30 years now ) but I have no idea what to do about it or what regulations to put in place to control it.
We will be like pets to it eventually.
The stage we know about is that the learning computers are producing code which their inventors ( of the learning machines ) take weeks to break down and understand.
What's really scary is that the scientists sometimes don't understand how the machines came up with the code in the first place.
All this going on and yet some people are more concerned about some alien being able to cross vast chasms of space and interested in us above all the other more interesting life they could find. Now that's arrogant.
I read my son's masters dissertation paper on machine learning (tripos part 3, Cambridge CompSci). I didn't understand it. But I'm pretty sure he did. He wrote all the "code" for the application.
I don't know enough about AI to comment other than what's in the news currently and of course the Hollywood ho ha films,but it is quite a scary prospect they are as advanced as you say.Cowsham wrote: ↑8 Jun 2023, 11:34am There will be a machine super intelligence on this planet and this will happen very soon after the event horizon of this technology which is coming at speed now hence all the noise in the press about it currently.

I'm not arrogant about ET craft merely find it an interesting subject,I did a little reseach on UFOs when I was much younger after a sighting myself which I couldn't explain away,a silver metalic looking egg shaped craft I watched for 30seconds to a minute flying in a straight line in a clear blue sky,no yoke.All this going on and yet some people are more concerned about some alien being able to cross vast chasms of space and interested in us above all the other more interesting life they could find.

If we keep comparing possibilities with what we know or believe we know then the possibilities are limited.That is the arrogance of mankind!
Whether that's "explained away" or merely "explained" there's an enormous difference between unexplained as natural or manmade aircraft and of extraterrestrial origin,
Agreed!
My personal take on aliens and UFOs and the like is, they don't exist but if they do it doesn't matter cos if they've been here for at least 60 years and haven't done us harm so far I'm happy enough with them. I know what does exist and have no idea what impact it'll have but I'd guess it'll be the biggest change since the dinosaurs were wiped out.
My personal take on UFOs is that I simply don't know what they are,but the subject intrigues me and that they exist whether they be extraterrestrial or terrestrial there is something to the subject that's more than extracting the micturate out of whoever raises the subject.Cowsham wrote: ↑8 Jun 2023, 7:34pm My personal take on aliens and UFOs and the like is, they don't exist but if they do it doesn't matter cos if they've been here for at least 60 years and haven't done us harm so far I'm happy enough with them.

I haven't seen all these AI films people keep referring to except terminator but that is flawed from the start. Can't be bothered with films cos the first scientific blunder just bollockses the whole film from that point on and I lose interest.
