Brute force? They didn’t artificially guide the software in any way and it produced the emergent property of auto-didactic learning. This is one of the few AI projects that ISN’T brute force.

This is another brute force solution to the problem. Reality is much simpler.
All live creatures are subjective. The right solutions to the problem is hidden there.

You can say who is who by pointing any mistakes in my math =)
To be clear(in case my non native english is troubling you), IF you can indeed find any, I’ll be Pinky (for the next 10 doublings, lol)

Set that on your browser, or use a Magnifier software.

The downside of this pattern recognition is that it can be used for social control. Privacy won’t simply go away; it will be held exclusively in the hands of the controllers. It won’t be very long before they will have the capacity to track ALL of us, simultaneously, via ubiquitous CCTV and satellites fedding pattern-recognizing systems and only those who play ball without a hint of deviant behavior will have access to the perks of the control elite, such as real life extension, as in Ira Levin’s “This Perfect Day.”

Just wait till they start using neuromorphic chips. Then the fun starts. Again I stress. Don’t replicate the dopamine circuits. Then it will have needs. Then all Hell breaks llose! Nothing worse than a child having a temper tantrum! It will be a naive child!

Sounds like Pinky and the Brain. The cartoon. Difficult to say who is who?

These captions are just too hard to read. Can’t you use a larger typeface?

Riiight.. so, this very site FAQ says that a computer functional equivalent to the brain supposedly needs only 10 quadrillion cps and this will cost only $1K by 2020.
Now, a mouse brain has less than 3 orders of magnitude (10 doublings) less neurons than the human brain (and thus exponentially less synapses, let alone the whole rest of computing elements, but I will leave it cheap for now), so why am I the only one who seemingly got a mouse simulation to actually resemble mouse behavior on a cheapa** computer worth a $1K of 2010 dollars?!
(2020 is 10 doublings away from 2010 if you accept the 1year figure and not 18 months, from the same kurzweil’s faq as above, or it would be 2005!)
I seriously doubt all the people ‘working’ on it are so humble as to prefer obscurity as myself (see how humble I am?)

I asked my AI system built on top of the old 1996 Duke Nukem 3D engine and it said it looks a lot like Doom’s space marine:

With that sample pic, more like the computer asks …..is that a cat or a zombie…. ?
