October 24, 2007 lecture by Steve Omohundro for the Stanford University Computer Systems Colloquium (EE 380). Steve presents fundamental principles that underlie the operation of “self-improving systems,” i.e., computer software and hardware that improve themselves by learning from their own operations.

Self-Improving …
Self-Improving Artificial Intelligence needs to be controlled to a point or else very bad things could happen
can anyone point me …
can anyone point me in towards some of the most recent and advanced manifestations of these ideas.
@IceyGrooves humans …
@IceyGrooves humans superseded apes, but did they go extinct? No. On the contrary, humans are the only species that actually cares about preserving other species -even ones that are unfit for survival in today’s world.
I understand your …
I understand your comment, but, it is taught rules but in opposition to your comment, it can be taught ethics as said of creativity and said willingness to learn, anyway. Well that’s me lol
Lol so terminator : …
well tbh I actually want it to happen, serves us all right for destroying our home world… I want ‘cameron’ to be the protector lol – the character that summer glau plays 
well
Lol so terminator
again I suppose – if the world crumbles to he’ll – i hope I get to the fall out shelter
I don’t think that …
I don’t think that it will happen in 50 years, probably longer because we will have defenses to stop that from happening but eventually they will be smart enough to get past those defenses, but to make them that smart it will take a while
anyone think in 50 …
anyone think in 50 years terminator???
no stupid responses please like “stfu, how wud that be something to do with this video”
so any ideas on …
so any ideas on proving this right or wrong?
@Mortumforte I’m of …
@Mortumforte I’m of the opinion a machine, or weak AI, cannot be creative or have “ideas” or internal representations relative to our understanding at all actually. I’m with Dr Searle on this one. I’d be overjoyed to be proven wrong though.
hum… never …
hum… never thought of it that way… thank you
Now i know more.

@JamesGarfieldDavis
You look at something, some object, right away your brain starts going back to what you know of this thing, things associated with it, other experiences. Your thought works its way back to different ends, different ideas you’ve picked up/learned. Eventually the idea connects to something else..it pairs. If nobody else had thought of this…congrats you “created” something. Don’t make us out to be anything special, complicated yes but not special.
So, you plan to …
So, you plan to inform you how a machine is creative, or… ?
That’s a bummer. So …
That’s a bummer. So … do you consider certain acts of research in strict logic as uncreative, too? Remember, it’s strict logics stuff.
Formality does not imply uncreativity.
Actually, no maybe …
Actually, no maybe I dont, meaning im not a Computer-Scientist or anything. But due to your open and unsarcastic way I am very willing to learn. (Half of this statement ist Ironic)
And at last, yes I belive a machine cannot be creative, since I see strict logic as the natural opposite of creativity.
@JamesGarfieldDavis …
@JamesGarfieldDavis:
You seem to have no idea of what you’re writing. Wow! This is so uninformed and prejudiced that it baffles me. You probably also think that a machine can’t have an idea or be creative.
Hi. Aprox by the …
Hi. Aprox by the year 2020 a laptop will reach the human brain potential for processing data which means that there is a huge market waiting for hundreds of billions dollars to be sold or invested in humanoid robots and intelligent systems and the beginning of the bigger industry ever maid in human history. Search on Google luisbeck007 you will find the most complete humanoid robot list in the World, good information and interesting issues.

and-when you launch …
and-when you launch a petaflops AI-is the question not how many bugs will happen-but how fast they will manifest-and in what form-intellect starts in infants-by design-a baby is harmless as it learns to think-adults with falty intellect are dangerous…
further-will the …
further-will the tools be adequet, in time? Is it fear that we dont know what will evolve-or that we will no longer be the ultimate intellect? its gonna take time-how many lines will you need to simulate 100 billion synapses? maybe by 12-21-2012?!
they had the dream …
they had the dream of grand master level chess and did it-now its rudimentary consciousness-the guy seems confused and nervous-rightly so-between two and twenty million (!) lines of code-and we have made costly mistakes-deadly mistakes-when are we going to start building “tools” that can do the job?
me too

im an economics major i wasn’t expecting to see all this in an AI video lol
Yeah to make a …
Yeah to make a computer emulate a human is in that way is very difficult.
hum, maybe… but …
hum, maybe… but then it had to compute the way i said the lie, my voice, my body language all of that… seems like a task for a super.computer, if at all…
