On the challenges of building a global highway system. Not sure if the designer of that road is a Russophile or an Asianophobe! Considering the road is passing through ZERO Asian country and it is particularly useful for the Russians!

How do people here feel about Harold White's experiments with the Alcubierre Drive in 2015/2016? (The White-Juday Warp Field Interferometer) Seriously, that might just be our best bet for interstellar travel. (The Alcubierre Drive that is)

They're saying Hurricane Jose is going to come up the east coast. I might get hit with it. Though I've been on this island all of my life, I've only seen 4 tropical storms that didn't actually run off to the Atlantic.
Still, keeping an eye on it.

Kind of late to the party on this one, but I personally don't agree with Hawking and Musk about the inherent dangers of AI. I mean sure, safety measure are necessary in everything that we create, from power tools to cars, but I am actually surprised that someone like Stephen Hawking is so fearful of topics such as this and the possibility of alien life. www.newsweek.com/ai-asilomar-principles-artificial-intelligence-elon-musk-550525I think the world is too fixated on the Skynet scenario from Terminator; that an AI will come to sentience and then develop a robo equivalent of a hard-on to "Kill All Humans!" because we're 'inferior' or what have you. Personally, I think that an a highly advanced program, one created specifically for a certain task will actually be less likely to rebel than humans who happen to not like a new law or election result. Think about it, a robot created for a singular purpose would invariably find the most fulfillment, most 'joy' out of pursuing said task, whether it be managing warehouses or scrubbing toilets. Not that I like to join in on our collective personification of everything, but would you want to go and try to and breath oxygen through water because you're not 'satisfied' with breathing regular air? Why should we assume that a robot created to sweep floors (for instance); one specifically designed for the task and one that would devote processing time to better optimize it's sweeping methods, or to download the latest update for sweeping techniques; would suddenly go on a murder spree because it questions the meaning of its existence and decides it is somehow angry that it was created to sweep floors? AI, even a human equivalent intelligence, is after all not human so why are we assuming that our concepts like jealousy, anger or rebellion would even apply to such an 'alien' being?

If you're interested in AI's I suggest reading this: waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-1.htmlwaitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-2.htmlI personally think that we are not ready for AI by a long shot. The whole idea of an AI is that it operates on another level which we, as simple humans, can't even comprehend. So even though people make a lot of predections, I think that we just can't assume that an AI will behave that way. When something becomes so much smarter it will work and think on a level which is unreacheable by our minds. Just like animals simply have no hope of understanding our language, we will have no hope of truly understanding an AI when its computing power takes off. Right now Humans can't even cope in a normal way with the internet. Our social level is already miles behind our technological level. A lot has to change before we can deal with something which is better and smarter than us in every conceiveable way. Don't get me wrong, I want to believe that we can benefit from an AI. I just don't see it happening. When a true AI will be invented by the wrong group, we are in big trouble. Best possible outcome is that the AI will be okay with being controlled by humans. But that is, again, based on the assumption that an AI will feel and think the same way we do, and I don't think that will be the case.

But that is, again, based on the assumption that an AI will feel and think the same way we do, and I don't think that will be the case. I am still on the fence as whether fully sapient AI will ever be a thing truthfully. In terms of creativity, reasoning, and personality we have yet to even fully quantify that in ourselves, let alone put it it code. I do think that an intelligence that can effectively run countless processes and do calculations trillions of times faster than a human can, while at the same time carry on a dynamic conversation with a human operator is certainly within the realm of possibility though; in fact we have the workings of things like that already. Developing an AI that can learn and build upon itself and its experiences is another method 'programing' intelligence, though I am not sure that such a design will somehow reach a 'critical mass' and spontaneously develop sapience either. If that were the case, than animals like elephants, certain birds, and octopi should have suddenly developed their own civilizations as they can learn, problem solve complex solutions, and even teach things to to future iterations of themselves as well. I could be wrong on how developing Artificial Super Intelligences will pan out, but everything I have seen points to more of a Narrow AI being the rule of thumb; a creation that can preform one, or several, tasks incredibly well, but can't operate out of the scope of said task(s). Sure, we might be able to eventually widen that Narrow AI to the point that it can run nearly all conceivable tasks a person would need in their life, but I don't think that such a creation will somehow directly translate to sapience and therefore lead to "Skynet and the Murderbots". All of this points back to my original statement, in that I don't think we really have to worry about robot overlords taking over of their own volition. Your highly advanced floor polisher is not going to want to discover what love is, if it "has a soul", or try and kill Jerry because… reasons, it's going to want to polish floors.

Truth be told, I hate how news media sources say that an EMdrive is an Alcubierre-Drive, otherwise known as a warp drive. I mean the EMdrive is a thruster that bounces particles around inside of it and by doing this, supposedly generates thrust, this is like trying to get a car to accelerate by getting inside and pushing on the windshield, as a physicist has quipped. The Alcubierre-Drive on the other hand is a theoretically possible way to travel faster than light without breaking relativity, it just has a few (major) hurdles it needs to overcome before it can become a reality. Side note: I kinda find the Breakthrough Starshot program to be boring, because with interstellar travel, it normally takes far too long to get anywhere. I have a better idea, why not try to supercede Einstein's theories, prove that his theory on FTL is false. (Soapbox over)
