Russia to employ AI for personality assessment on social media

IMO the body is a vehicle, you are driving

No mortal or society of mortals can reinvent Reality. It has been there long before and long after everybody will be gone.

Some people are too lazy too drive, and have figured out to build a robot to drive for them. They have to make choices for that robot so that it can make choices for them.

Do you agree that there are layers or sections of this reality ? Or is that question superfluous.

It is like asking what comes first the depth or the surface ...

the problem with that instead to learn the vehicle one actually drives they waste the precious time on imagination.

Well, we have to figure out where we are exactly and where we could be heading. Follow the up-arrows in the spiral staircase, or don't.

but these (programmers) people's imagination is also an enormous investment in learning car-driving skills. you could only agree/disagree on the aim of the car driving.

again, reality exists without your thoughts, even you exist without thinking/brain. reality is non-verbal ...

All thinking is limited with oxymorons and tautologies aka circular reasoning. There is no solution to it.

But language is a game we play that somehow accesses reality via semantics. We change ourselves, others and our surroundings with it. I think formal language/logic is just one case of many - logic and our understanding of truth is quite variable as well - but of course that doesn't mean that we can manipulate reality as a whole. It is infinite and eternal.

yeah, but back to the topic A.I. is based on thought process alone. There is no intelligence without procedures running.

On the other hand meditation proves human exist without thoughts.

Now how big of a sociopath superposes a machine on living beings?

I see the same ethical question arising when i see the use of weapons, handcuffs, police dogs, cameras, police, spies and informants.

The way AI functions is that it is a glorified questionnaire, which you are technically forced to fill out. I think Napoleon or the French revolutionaries enforced that concept for the first time.

The internet and the AIs in it force you to live in a permanent state of census.

the result: society full of control freaks while the actual world outside human society is totally unpredictable.

A.I. is good only for ruling over the machine. Nothing more.

yes every move will be registered, lifetimes will spent to write down what other people are saying or doing.

the only limit is processing power and energy - the reality outside is of course also destined to be managed by AI or mechanical turks. every square inch of the planet can have its IP address.

You build a machine to watch over other machines. Beware that you don't become one yourself.

how many times have I to state: abstraction is imagination, reality is NOT imagined.

But the range of abstraction and imagination varies, and thus our effect on reality.

The truth is the machines mere mechanical systems really need updating to stay useful.

But humans are not mechanical, only their bodies are.

Yes, the tech has been especially thorough with destroying the original environment humans depend on wiht their lives.

The trouble with AI science is that it does prove that our thoughts can be mechanized, broken down into logical particles as well, and imitated and replaced.

Technology and science can be used to exploit, but also to repair. Maybe both at the same time, see Forestry compared to (other) forms of agriculture.

Not really, unless your IQ is less than 70.

The AI is still quite childlike, but computers have always acted like idiot savants, good at mathematics and some games.

Language skills, vision and speech recognition are getting better.

You keep missing my point, if artificial it destroys the original environment, much more complex than any models. It took the Nature billions of years yet some humans arrogance makes them believe they can fake it in one life span.

Sometimes we even stunt our own thought processes: Using a search engine is enough, reducing our expressions and ability of abstraction to a bare minimum.

not better, only faster. Not the same!

In Forestry you even think in longer time spans than a single life, i can't think of any kind of that planning outside of Theology (like asking people to pray for you in the next century).

Say the destruction stopped tomorrow, you still have to choose how to restore nature, using technology such as AI etc.
