Probably the silliest line in the whole movie (which I still consider my all-time
favorite, btw). Think about it, he's telling Neo there's too much information to
decode it, then he immediately proceeds to tell Neo that you automatically
decodes it in your head.
At least one of the accounts on twatter I follow swears Q is AI. I don't buy it.
If you spend any time studying AI's successes, the first thing you'll notice is that
they are very narrowly scoped. Like, you can write an algorithm that's really good
at running bot behavior in a video game, or one that can figure out who you are
from your writing, but never all of the things that make us human, not even
close. What Q is doing seems much too broadly scoped.
Oh, sorry. :( It is a cool line though, don't get me wrong… just silly.
Better, but the difference in what they have isn't exponentially greater.
And not just exponentially. You'd need something that could pass a Turing
test. Hasn't happened yet. You can always trick them. There's a lot of
anons in here that can tell you how the bots behave. You have to guess that
at least some of them are more advanced than the average anon has
access to.
I'm pretty sure I just said that.
Oh, ok. Yeah, I'm not convinced AI will ever be able to match what we do…
unless we're wrong about what we are.
Have you seen any numbers on viewers?
It doesn't seem like that within AFSPC. They're moving right along and the
guy I work for (an LtC) makes it sound like the push is coming from above,
not below. Just an impression, and my group is pretty small comparatively.
That's what self-awareness gets you. An innate understanding of the effects
our actions have not only on ourselves, but others as well.
That's Goldfein, btw.
