Interesting Video


http://www.scottmcleod.org/didyouknow.wmv

Saw this on another forum, and I have to say its pretty interesting stuff. If the assumptions in the video are true, I think we're in for an interesting next 20 years..

omg, that video is insane. By 2049 a computer will be invented that can exceed the capabilities of the human race.

That was saying that by 2049 a computer that can do that will cost $1000. If that is true, a computer will be invented much sooner that can do that.

Um, my computer already exceedes the computational capabilities of the human race.

If you put all of us in a room and told us to do 6940283/2521 my calculator with it's teeny couple mhz chip would easily figure out the answer before we could(Excluding autistic savants).

Big deal, computational power does not equal true problem solving capability. A computer can help, but it will never acctualy end up discovering the answer to a problem that does not have formula to find the answer already created(say the Grand unified theory or what have you), at least untill true artificial inteligence is created.

Yeah we're learning a shit ton of new things every day, alot of it isn't that important, most of it only adds a tiny extra bit of understanding to what we already know. None of it is discovering new rules.

My first year of college is never going to be out of date, calculus isn't going to be replaced, nor is mechanics, or basic chemistry. Well I suppose english may eventualy be worthless.

Yeah one day we'll figure out the formula that can be used to predict the outcome of any physical/chemical interaction, but it's going to be a fuckton harder to use than a simple formual newton came up with.

You want crazy computing possibilities? If you've got some time (long article, several videos), check this out:

"Jeff Hawkins Hacks the Human Brain"

This is the beginning of true AI folks, not pre-programmed stuff that simulates AI. These computers will learn, draw comparisons between things and make their own connections, associations, and decisions (in a controlled sense). This software will be open source within THIS YEAR.

I think you misunderstood what it was talking about.

It said it would exceed the capabilities of a human. That means that it would be able to do something that humans could never accomplish, or figure out. What you said about the division problem is true, the calculator can do the problem faster than us, but still we can do that problem.

Is that actually feasable given the fact that computers are bound by human logic?

For that matter, neither can a human.
