Flores,
consider the fact that my methods and fresh train of thoughts though much different than yours might be hundred times more efficient in achieving the goal,
Except that I don’t see anything fresh in your thoughts. Sorry.
and is clearly equipped with a life Jacket to grab you out your circular reasoning.
LOL. Dream on my friend.
Your thoughts appear to me to be simply a fancy justificational at best with no merging or new ideology in the horizon.
I have no idea what you mea by that.
Also, in case of total malfunction of the machine, the machine is helpless unless that same human that created it gives it a hand in operating again.
Wanna bet? My specialty is in the area of massively parallel fault tolerate systems, i.e. machines that never fail.
And who embedded those features of self modifying and self profiling in the machine. Did the machines do that by themselves, or did a human give them that ability.
Excellent. Now you are beginning to understand. Humans are merely the catalysts using their ingenuity to begin a chain of events that progress beyond their comprehension. For example if you press the button that begins a nuclear explosion, can you then stop the explosion once started?
I can easily write a random number generator program, yet I can't generate the numbers with the speed of the programs, yet, without me writing the simple program, there wouldn't be numbers for the computer to generate. Does that make the program more superior to me? Can the program change a diaper, make love to a husband, do a pre-school homework, kiss butt a boss, ect....
So you should read the article I posted above where Hans Moravec explains the evolution of the robot. You need to understand that the robot brains are some several orders of magnitude less capable than ours are at this stage. But that they are evolving several million times faster than our own intelligence did.
Again, fancy words without a clue.
Lost you huh? If you are going to talk about computers and their capabilities then perhaps you need to understand a little bit more about them. For reference, just in case you are interested – RISC= Reduced Instruction Set Computer, RDBMS = Relational DataBase Management System.
Humans will never be removed from the loop of an element that they have designed.
That is clearly not true. The NASDAQ stock exchange is fully electronic and requires no human interaction for continuous operation. It connects traders directly with market makers with no middlemen. But I don’t think that is what you meant is it?
Machines are designed as predictable exact functions.
Ahh then you haven’t heard of fuzzy logic, fuzzy software, and fuzzy compilers. These types of software attempt to interpret what you really mean rather than what you say. Pretty much in the way that I attempt to interpret some of your less well formed sentences.
Try this introduction to fuzzy logic.

I hope you can appreciate how very ‘human’ such software will appear.
Humans are unpredictable inexact, misunderstood functions.
Pretty fuzzy, right?
If you select to think you are stupid and below machine intelligence you wouldn't surpise me, for that is quite evident from your writing, but please don't generalize, some of us, are still clinging and respecting our human status.
So examine this diagram of where computers are evolving –
http://www.frc.ri.cmu.edu/~hpm/talks/revo.slides/power.aug.curve/power.aug.html
The progression of increasing computer power has held steady since the 1940’s and there is all indication that it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The chart shows the progression to human level power, but many of us are considering what happens beyond that. So feel free to cling to your human status but also be aware that in a few decades humans are unlikely to be the dominant intelligence on the planet. As with every species in the history of evolution, adapt very fast or become extinct.
Why would you say that flying is more suprior than making love or convincing another....
You are missing the point. Humans can’t fly, but they can create machines that can. Humans can’t solve quadratic equations very quickly but they can build machines that can do such things millions of times faster, humans can’t saw wood in half but they can build machines that do it very easily. The point is that humans can create tools and enhancements for themselves that can massively extend basic human capabilities. The rapid development of AI indicates man’s continuing creativity towards enhancing his abilities. Extending and enhancing his intelligence seems a rather obvious goal. Why would you claim he can’t do this but can do everything else?
Too bad the modern compilers need very sensitive tempratures, clean rooms, upgrades, electricity, ect...provided by humans to stay running.
You mean like humans need to eat to stay functioning, food that is only possible because of the energy from the sun. If the sun were cut off then the food supply for humans would cease and humans would die. Perhaps you should start worshipping the sun for your continued survival.
May I pull the plug Cris and see how one of your best compilers will behave...ok. ok. I'll remove all backup electric source too...You are too naive.....at best a good fictional writer.
Do you really want to debate or just engage in negative cynicism, I can be good at that as well?
There is no evidence to you that a creator is more sophistcated than a creation.
That is correct. Show me something complex that human intelligence has created in a single step that wasn’t the result of an evolutionary process of multiple stages. You won’t find anything.
The argument for an intelligent creator is based on the idea that human intelligence can create complex objects, like watches for example. The conclusion is that anything complex must be the result of intelligence. But even in the example of the watch it was the result of a long evolutionary process from very crude time keeping mechanisms to the modern watch. Human intelligence is just a naturally evolved process that has become a catalyst in the evolution of other objects.
If human intelligence designed the modern computer why didn’t cavemen have computers?
To me, it's the only logical answer to the question of our existance.
Given my explanation why would you continue to conclude that? What is the basis for your logic since it cannot be based on the example of complexity from human intelligence?
May you elaborate on how our brains evolved exactly....
OK.
http://www.massey.ac.nz/~alock/hbook/brain.htm
Do you suggest that we were monkeys, although be carefull, because most human brains don't seem to be as evolved as a monkey,
This is a common error made by people who have not studied evolution. Monkeys and apes evolved along parallel paths to Homo-sapiens. If you want to debate the issues of evolution then please please obtain the basics first. Here is a good site to study as the first pass.
http://www.talkorigins.org/
Beyond that I can point you at some appropriate books.
or do you advocate the notion that we all evloved from a single cell, then I implore you to explain the variety contained in the evolution process that just doesn't make any sense.
I think you mean abiogenesis which is separate from evolution although closely connected. And I can well imagine that evolution doesn’t make sense to you since your first comment above shows you haven’t studied it yet. Do that first then you will understand how abiogenesis is a simple logical and inevitable extention that explains the existence of life.
Who gives a F##k about those abbreviated useless processors that you are describing if we are stupid enough not to be able to figure out the stable morphology of one stream....or the migratory patterns of animals.
So does that mean you prefer ignorance?
Too bad, my two year old can smash one of these bastards to pieces or disconnect or deactivate one of these bastards and we don't have to worry about analyzing some useless outdated went out of hand crap, others though don't see such simplicity and are absorbed by analysing garbage that they created with their own hands that may have simply have went out of hand mainly due to our ignorance.....I feel pity for you, start watching the wiggles, they originate in your country of residence and offer quite great lessons in logic. Start with the Quack Quack Quack Quack Quack Cock doodle Doo.
Looks like your brain has just snapped. Sorry I didn’t mean to overload you. Come back when you’ve unscrambled all those wonderful neural networks you have somewhere.
