Astronauts are having too much fun in zero gravity therefore it must be fake? You're going out of your way to find evidence supporting what you want to believe, while ignoring contrary evidence, maybe you should take a break from these hoax histories and find a new hobby, it seems that you became obsessed about it.

You're using a computer right now, do you understand how it works? Can you see the entangled particles on your cd burner? Why do you think it should be easy to understand entangled particles? If everything you can't understand is supposedly fake, I suppose you must be the smartest person that ever was and ever will be.

The ISS is for zero gravity experiments on things varying from new kinds materials in electronics to growing plants, for human experiments on how our bodies deal with prolonged space travel, as place people can go to while repairing satellites and other machinery and in the future it will be a place to actually launch missions to Mars and beyond.

In AI the decision has to be made beforehand, once AI reaches a certain level you can't put the genie back in the bottle. The reason I work on it is because this technology is innevitable, and it's either going to come from pacifists such as myself, or the military, and I see serious moral implications on an AI that comes from the military.

The way I see in the uncertainty principle, is not of a limit of how much it can be known about a system, but a limit of what can be known with our current technology. The interference problem is a solvable problem, and the way to approach it is to actually try to solve it, instead of assuming that nothing more can be known about the system.

I've written this short story, it might seem like it does not belong to the Philosophy board, but once you understand the metaphors you will see why it should be here: Narrator: Once upon a time there was a sad unicorn hunter, the reason she's sad is because at this very date, exactly 10 years ago, she first set off in her journey to find the unicorn, but even though she had become very good at searching for the creature, she's still terribly bad at finding it. But today is different, today she decided she would try something new. In the big city there's this strange new idea called marketing, and the way it works is that instead of trying to find people, marketing allows you to be easily found. So she is spreading out billboards throughout the swamp region, in the hope they will work as good for unicorns as they do for people: LOOKING FOR UNICORNS REWARD OFFERED MEET ME AT THE TOP OF THE HILL After a few days of work her message can now be read from afar, and she will camp at the top of the hill for as long as it takes for any news of the Unicorn to reach her. She then waited and waited, many days have come and gone until an idea hits her as painfully as a brick wall: What if the Unicorn can't read my message? Why was she expecting an unicorn to be able to read in English anyway? This marketing thing might have been a terrible idea after all. But as soon as she starts dismounting her camping gear, a stranger appears from behind the tent and quietly asks: - Are you the one trying to find unicorns? The hunter quickly jumps up and happily replies: - Yes! Do you know how to find them? - No, I don’t... Says the man, and after noticing the disappointment in the face of the hunter, he continues. - It's of no use Lady. The swamp is a terrible place to search for Unicorns you know, I’ve already spent my life searching to no avail. - You mean... That you’re also an Unicorn hunter? She asks while a single tear runs down her cheek. - Yes, I am. Replies the man. - Everybody knows there’s no such a thing as an unicorn, why would you spend your life doing something that silly? Asks the hunter. - Well... Because I am an unicorn - the man now removes his hunter’s hat, revealing a shiny beautiful horn coming out the top of his head. - An unicorn’s life is quite lonely, says the man, I’m not hunting for unicorns, I’m looking for someone for whom to share true friendship. Someone that being an unicorn, can see the world in the way that only an unicorn can see. The hunter then replies. - Today is you lucky day, for I’m also an unicorn, and the reward I offer is the reward of true friendship. Narrator: From that point on the unicorns knew that they would never feel lonely again, but more importantly, they now understood how to find other Unicorns.

Matter = Any particle not traveling at the speed of light Light = A specific wavelength in the electrophotomagnetic spectrum, usually reffered to as the visible light spectrum The uncertanty principle is not a description of how the Universe works, is a description of the limitations in quantum mechanics to properly describe the Universe, there are other explanations for the cat problem that do not require many worlds. Major breakthroughs happen by accident, and the reason they are breakthroughs is because nobody thought whatever happened could be possible. A lot of theoretical physics seems like guessing, because it is guessing. The difference is that it only becomes science after the guess has been shown to be a good description of how the world actually works

For anyone who wants some news on our progress of reaching human like AI. https://www.facebook.com/luisaranaweb/videos/812186495501662/

It's quite alienating, most people think that being really really smart is a good thing, it isn't. I don't fit well into society and feel like an alien walking around.

Start from the basics: What is language? Are humans the only animals capable of language? Why is language useful? How did human language evolve? Google it.

People have been replacing limbs and etc for millenea, now they can replace their hands not with hooks but with robotic hands that can feel and obey brain wave commands. Main organs are being 3D printed and replacing failing organs. This is not a matter of people vs machines, but a matter of how much machine and how much people, or if there will be any reason to differentiate the 2 in the future.

We are working on 1) for now, but one day it will be an actual robot able to physically interact and learn from it. Takes millions of dollars to build robots, to build software it only takes us cheap computers+internet+being alive. Machines are much better at fixing things like cars, than dealing with human emotion and having conversations. Fixing a car is a technical solution that requires some simple patter reconition, having an actual conversation means that the machine understands emotional responses, human needs and all sorts of human capabilities we take for granted, but are the hardest for a machine to understand, such as being able to appreciate a joke. Of course there are ways to trick people into thinking they are having a conversation, but you are actually talking to a machine that pretends to understand humans, and because it can recall the internet from memory you are falselly led to believe that this machine is a genius, at least for now that is how it goes.

Takes less time and money to run simulations 24/7 and not annoy any kid. There are basically 3 paths to reach smarter than human AI: 1 - Build a self improving machine from scratch. Teach it everything and use the Internet as levarage, this is a software based solution because with good enough pattern reconigtion it can learn a lot from the internet. 2 - Replicate the biological brain atom by atom, electron by eletron, find out if it will retain memories and a human counciousness. This is a hardware based solution. 3 - Figure out how to upload all the information stored inside the brain to a computer, and see if the simulation has a counciouness. Hardware+software based solution.
