“If this superintelligence goes into moving robots, the world, our lifestyle dramatically changes,” Son says. “We can expect all kinds of robots, Son said. “Flying, swimming, big, micro, run, two legs, four legs, 100 legs.” And based on the number of devices connected to the internet, as well as smart cars — Son says the population of superintelligent robots will surpass that of people in 30 years as well. ________________________________________ Same ballpark. But make no doubt about it...things are going to change in ways we can't even imagine. Its scary really when one considers worldwide population growth with fewer and fewer jobs. I dunno... guess we'll find out.
There are computers that already far exceed human intelligence in terms of computational power, illustrated by world-class chess players losing matches against a computer. Now, whether they will be able to create an artificial intelligence that is actually self-aware like a person is by 2047 is an entirely different matter.
I don't think this guy knows what he's talking about. It doesn't matter how many transistors a computer has, the problem is that these computers will have to evolve in order to learn to do things. Man has had billions of neurons in their brains for a very, very long time but it took a very long time for the species to learn to build a civilization.
That's a good point. I wonder if self awareness is necessary for the proper use of "intelligence". Without imagination to solve problems or come up w/solutions, the hardware is just dead weight. Then again, autistic savants don't seem to show self awareness, yet they can be incredibly "smart" in the classical sense. I just want to go bionic and augment my own intelligence. I think the holy grail will be when consciousness is transferred over into a non decaying vessel, then I'll be a decepticon.
There is already computers dominating at games like poker and chess, thats not just faster recall, they are studying a pattern and drawing a conclusion based on the pattern that is accurate enough to dictate their next decision, something only humans have been capable of to a large degree up until this point.
Actually, poker has been considered the holy grail to date... and the machines just won. http://nautil.us/blog/computers-beat-humans-at-poker-next-up-everything-else Imagine bigger and better being applied to the markets. Its the future. Trading may go the way of the dinosaurs. Its going to get very scary very soon.
Yeah this was a very telling video, a bunch of pros stepped up to beat the bot by trying to change strategy and the bot read them, and destroyed them all. That is learning, that isnt just a poker bot playing his Aces. I think we are very close to the point with bots in the market that it will be impossible to day trade, short term trading is going to be dead, hell the really good opportunities on a daily basis are already fewer and further between, better have enough saved by then to live off long term investing cause shes all over when these things get unleashed.
Well said. Its going to be game over for daytrading and swing trading. And if what Mark Cuban is saying about where AI will be in three years...its going to be sooner than we know. AI machines battling it out against each other are going to flatten out all the charts. The perfect solutions will be in hundredths of a point. The VIX will go to 1. You young bucks better buy some used Peter Lynch books on Amazon and read up.... because thats going to be the only way to make money. Invest in companies that are well run and growing. And embrace the lost art of "patience". Sucks doesn't it. Ironic in a way when you think about it. Building wealth the way our markets were designed 100+ years ago........ Hmph.
