Artificial Intelligence

It’s learning how to take over

How better to train machine learning modules than to have direct interaction/exchanges with potential "content" providers?

Oh dear.

every little bit, whether we see the benefit or not, is helping AI expand it's "roots"
Saw the "escape" article a few days ago.

I do not see how us individuals will be able to prevent security breeches in our monetary
accounts once the criminals are able to use AI to it's extreme capability. I don't think there are enough "walls" that AI will not be able to climb.

if I click on that CNN article, I have to agree to CNN's use of my info for whatever they want it for, or I can't read the article. Common practice more and more.
How many here clicked "agree".
not me.

i've been pondering the banking aspect of it. Thought about taking out the money into real cash/gold/whatever but taxes would kill most value we have accumulated.

If your worried about someone seeing you naked, the first thing you do is close the curtains…then you lock the door and put the key in your pocket.

Got rid of cable. Had my provider switch me over to Ethernet, installed a firewall on the router and browse behind a VPN

First thing I delete off of any new computer are the biggest data collection schemes going….main stream web browsers, ie Bing, Google, Chrome, Edge and the large email providers like , Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, etc.

Let’s not forget the unintentional data streams provided by trail and ring cameras

Banks are insured by FDIC for $250k per account per banking establishment.

not saying that doesn't "solve" the issue, but the"F" part of that doesn't give me warm feelings.

I'm talking about before it gets to that.

i've got quite a bit more than that in 401k accounts. I'm not rolling in cash

So, another one. This is more than mildly concerning I think.

Stephen Hawking stated that AI could be the best thing or worst thing for humans and that without proceeding with a high level of caution, autonomous AI would end the human race.

So, I've done a few more things with AI recently. In my reply over in the Old Pictures thread recently, I was thinking of a song, but couldn't remember the name or artist. After a few questions/answers with the AI, it figured it out and got me the solution in seconds. Nice.

This evening I asked if it could read schematics in jpeg format now, because it couldn't before. Sure enough, advances have been made and I uploaded the diagram and it immediately replied back what it was and answered my question. Impressive.

And most importantly, I had a neurologist appointment a few days ago. I got the AI to read the last 90 days of my health log with hundreds of entries, weed out everything except the specific data I needed and it got it done in 2 seconds flat. I took it to my neuro doc and he said it was very helpful. I mentioned how I'd done it, giving instructions to the AI to leave out non-pertinent data like (I stubbed my toe or I cut the grass) and so on in order to get a nice concatenated table. The doc said it looked like an AI assist when he first saw it and we updated my care as a result. Cool.

I called AI out on a bogus answer the other day. It apologized for providing an “absurd” answer and found the correct answer for me. I was a bit stunned.

 

[BWR1953]

Exactly! I just ran into that same thing a few minutes ago. But it is pretty common. I understand that's a part of all the different AI brands.

It's a tool. So is nuclear power. So is a chain saw.
So was "Skynet"...

FDIC insurance only covers deposits in an FDIC insured bank. Investment accounts (401k) are not covered.
