I'm ready for AIs, the best thing to happen to humanity

I kinda feel like even the outrageous event of mass human extinction by AI could be a good thing

I didn't think I'd ever actually miss those

according to my little account thingy, about 9 a day

anybody that has more than 15 need to stop coming here

Yeah man we should all be non active boring motherfuckers with shitty grammar and nothing interesting to say.

Fuck outta here

acting rampantly virulent doesn't count as being interesting.

Being an unknown fag with no personality with a username that looks backwards isn't interesting either.

Yeah, I remember when I had a personality

that series stop being cool when Ezio died

well except for the naval combat in the pirate one

People really need to get off Ezio's dick.  Not every Assassin has to be this hunky playboy who fucks anything that movies.

dude srsly what, he was only a fuccboi in the beginning. For the rest of his duration he became mature and stoic

There just hasn't been any characters after him that have stood out as much

the only person who likes my posts is "Verbatim dislikes this"

lol

If you're caught lying don't try to fucking lie your way out of it.

dealing with a friend like this

oh my dear Star Ocean series, it's been a while

facebook is where memes go to die

ddddaaaawwwww

me too no homo

uhh I have a question

where's the love ;-;

I actually wanted to read it

so I google searched the image

I got this



I think that's as far as I'm willing to search

Google has revealed what its most advanced artificial systems dream of

The firm has revealed a stunning set of images to help explain how its systems learn over time.

It shows how the system learns and what happens when it gets things wrong.

'Artificial Neural Networks have spurred remarkable recent progress in image classification and speech recognition,' wrote Alexander Mordvintsev, , Christopher Olah and Mike Tyka of Google's AI team.
'But even though these are very useful tools based on well-known mathematical methods, we actually understand surprisingly little of why certain models work and others don't.'
Google trains an artificial neural network by showing it millions of training examples and gradually adjusting the network parameters until it gives the classifications the team want.
The team has even given the images a name - Inceptionism.
The network typically consists of 10-30 stacked layers of artificial neurons.
Each image is fed into the input layer, which then talks to the next layer, until eventually the 'output' layer is reached.
The network's 'answer' comes from this final output layer.
In doing this, the software builds up a idea of what it thinks an object looked like.

If a cloud looks a little bit like a bird, the network will make it look more like a bird.
This in turn will make the network recognize the bird even more strongly on the next pass and so forth, until a highly detailed bird appears, seemingly out of nowhere.
'The results are intriguing—even a relatively simple neural network can be used to over-interpret an image, just like as children we enjoyed watching clouds and interpreting the random shapes.
'This network was trained mostly on images of animals, so naturally it tends to interpret shapes as animals.
'But because the data is stored at such a high abstraction, the results are an interesting remix of these learned features.'

Here's an example of what the program managed to alter the image into

So I guess my point is, what are your thoughts on AI and it's rapid, incessant advancement? Is singularity, if even possible, something that we'll see within our lifetimes? If singularity does indeed occur, will it necessarily pose as a threat to humans?

It gets easier the more people you talk to. If I could overcome social anxiety, you can too OP
