Great video Sparrow, thanks for posting!
When I was kid, before internet days, I used to look forward to every new episode of Nova.
Ryan Clarke is my Peter Higgs.

So, when I first read about this I flipped shit because I swore I remember it as Stein.
But now I feel like I was tripping earlier and of course it was always stAin...
Or was it? Maybe I've been doppelganger'd into the BerenstAin universe.

Yeah dude, that was a great article.
I've maintained the opinion for quite some time now that the human species really needs contact of a serious nature with an equivalent or greater sentience than our own to shake us out of this "kill each other, take each other's shit, rape the planet, women and children and blame it on the heathens" funk we seem to have gotten into.

As unwilling as I am to accept any news of that nature coming out of China, my inner child really wants it to be real because Laputa.

Was going to post this in general but it's probably only you guys who'd comment on it anyway so here goes:
http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificia ... ion-1.htmlThere's a second part too.
It's very long.
And very compelling.
I pretty much cannot see mankind surviving the 21st century.

"Superintelligence of that magnitude is not something we can remotely grasp, any more than a bumblebee can wrap its head around Keynesian Economics. In our world, smart means a 130 IQ and stupid means an 85 IQ—we don’t have a word for an IQ of 12,952.
What we do know is that humans’ utter dominance on this Earth suggests a clear rule: with intelligence comes power. Which means an ASI, when we create it, will be the most powerful being in the history of life on Earth, and all living things, including humans, will be entirely at its whim—and this might happen in the next few decades.
If our meager brains were able to invent wifi, then something 100 or 1,000 or 1 billion times smarter than we are should have no problem controlling the positioning of each and every atom in the world in any way it likes, at any time—everything we consider magic, every power we imagine a supreme God to have will be as mundane an activity for the ASI as flipping on a light switch is for us."
