«Man’s attention is his only treasury, Christ and Buddha taught the art of attention, but our phone now ask for more»-Anonymus Smith
I dont think A.I. will ask for our attention to stay firm...the opposite probably....
Anyway those who will sell quantum computers one day will be the same who ask for our attention...And they are not Christ or Buddha....
Technology give power not answer...
At the best technology give the means to reach an answer if we are ready to be very attentive on our own already....
The two greatest geniuses i know in A.I. in our days are Karl Friston which is more in neurology than in A.I. and the swiss mathematician Schmidhuber who wrote about "Goedel machines"... I am nore interested by Friston Approach...
But Schmidhuber really is a genius and considered the father or one of the father of A. I.
His description is astounding but for me perfectly described how an A.I. could become "intelligent" only by transforming itself and his world in an autonomous " Bubble" so to speak... This guy is very smart but his idea give us a "taste" about how the A.I. will surpass human ONLY by becoming a self-trapped intelligence....He dont say this, it is me who said that, trying to understand his "Goedel machine" which are able to modify their own programmation by themselves...
By the way when he was 20 years old Von Neumann assist to the original "exposé" of Goedel... When he go out of the room someone ask him : "Are you always interested by mathematical logic? " Von Neumann said ,"not anymore"... His friend ask him why, he answer: " there is no more interesting thing to do"....I like this story who say a lot about these 2 geniuses...Von Neumann was the only one to understand Goedel in less than the hour it take to Goedel for communicating the greatest discovery in logic ever made and probably forever.......Remind you that this original proof, with his unusual coding aspect and proposition construct was very difficult to understand ...
Goedel lived decades at Princeton and his only friend there was Einstein, they walk some miles together every morning to their office... One day a journalist ask Einstein what is greatest work at Princeton was, the world waiting for his unified field theory.... Einstein reply was : his greatest and only pleasure was walking each day speaking with Goedel between each day of work...
One morning, after an unhappy encounter with a car driver who was distracted by the famous Einstein hair, Goedel say that happily he cannot be the cause of an accident...
Goedel one of the greatest living mind was living Unknown to most...Contrary to the very popular Einstein whose head become a symbol worldwide....
The best story was at the moment of his entrance in the United states and the duty imposed on him to read the American constitution...he read it attentively and discover a logical fault with it, it takes times and patience for Einstein his "godfather" for the judge of immigration to convince Goedel to not speak his mind about this logical fault....A fault which let a hole making the possiblity for a "coup d’état" so to speak...
Ok i apologize i love stories too much....
my best to all
