The entire conceit of the Terminator film franchise is that we create a man-made intelligence that goes rogue, sees humanity because the enemy, and nukes the planet in an try and kill us all off. And there have been six motion pictures, and three tv reveals, that’ve strived to drive that concept dwelling over the course of almost thirty years.
And but, scientists, researchers, and tech oligarchs appear to neglect about them every time they’re trying to “construct the long run” or no matter. I imply, chatting with the tech oligarchs immediately trigger I do know they learn RideApart, the wealthy do not get out alive in these nuclear hellscapes. You are not going to outlive the robotic rebellion simply because your title is Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg. Robots do not care who you’re or what Roman basic you like to cosplay as, you dumb nerds.
Why am I saying all of this? Effectively, as a result of a gaggle of researchers apparently watched Terminator Salvation not too long ago and thought, “Hey, would not it’s cool if we taught a robotic easy methods to experience a bike and make it do candy jumps” with out considering “Hey, are we giving the robots that’ll ultimately kill all of us the means to take action extra successfully?”
So yeah, they’re educating robots easy methods to stunt experience bikes now. I am positive this would possibly not finish poorly for humanity, although!
The video, and robotic inside stated video, comes from RAI or the Robotic and AI institute out of Massachusetts, which has the mission assertion of “Our mission is to unravel an important and elementary challenges in robotics and AI.” Unsure how a stunt driving bike accomplishes that, however it undoubtedly solidifies my place on we should not be messing with AI or giving AI to robots.
As for the video, in line with RAI, “On this demo, Extremely Cellular Automobile (UMV) drives, turns, jumps, methods, and involves a sudden cease referred to as a track-stand. The entire driving, landings, stability, and track-stands are carried out utilizing reinforcement studying.” The entire demonstration, nonetheless, is fairly unnerving because the robotic can carry out quite a few methods that people take lifetimes studying and perfecting.
It is undoubtedly not lifted out of this scene from Terminator Salvation.
To not combine up franchises, however I am immediately reminded of the Ian Malcolm quote from Jurassic Park. “Your scientists had been so preoccupied with whether or not or not that they may, they by no means stopped to assume if they need to.”
Anyhow, given the state of issues, this may all finish awesomely, proper? There’s robuts ethics panels and other people ascerting actual authority of how AI and robots are developed, yeah? There is not some idiotic techno-overlord in control of the world’s strongest financial system proper this very immediate who has a vested curiosity in seeing his AI machinations come to fruition and missing any form of regulatory oversight that may stop Judgement Day from occurring, proper?
RIGHT?!
