Seen in print tonight on CBSN: "On Assignment":
Japan attempts to repopulate using robots .
Apparently, young people, in their male-dominated society, are not interested in having sex and especially not in having children.

Fascinating.

That'll narrow done the gene pool.......maybe we need that done over here,

The report said they expect a huge drop in population by 2050, as a result, a factor already afoot.

Having a vasectomy gets the same results. Hard to imagine young men not interested in sex and that is more curious to me.

Seen and heard on tv news this morning, robots have established a sub-forum of their own on Facebook, using their own coded language . Facebook shut it down BUT ....wtf?!

Exactly; hence, the alarm being sounded by the official being interviewed. One particular company is busy fashioning human-looking and acting robots to keep people company.

Also, young females said they were quite underwhelmed by the males, especially when it comes to levels of employment and other factors of social status.

If robots "established" a sub forum they can probably start their (?) own form.

Well, for some unknown reason, they chose Facebook to begin. One wonders what is next and how the "idea" got started in the first place. It all appears remarkably independent .

However, you mention an intriguing concept. Where would "they" get the money for such a venture ? Would they transfer it from some pour soul's hapless bank account ?

Not new and some of these constructs are remarkable in both appearance and technological abilities - robots have come a long way....from Robbie the Robot

Now that's been true since the dawn of time itself.

Facebook Shuts Down AI System After Bots Create Language Humans Can't Understand
http://gadgets.ndtv.com/social-netwo...nguage-1731309

several experts including Professor Stephen Hawking have raised fears that humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, could be superseded by AI. Tesla's Elon Musk, philanthropist Bill Gates, and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak have also expressed their concerns about where the AI technology was heading.

In June, researchers from the Facebook AI Research Lab (FAIR) found that while they were busy trying to improve chatbots, the "dialogue agents" were creating their own language. Soon, the bots began to deviate from the scripted norms and started communicating in an entirely new language which they created without human input, media reports said.

Using machine learning algorithms, the "dialogue agents" were left to converse freely in an attempt to strengthen their conversational skills. The researchers also found these bots to be "incredibly crafty negotiators".

"After learning to negotiate, the bots relied on machine learning and advanced strategies in an attempt to improve the outcome of these negotiations," the report said.

"Over time, the bots became quite skilled at it and even began feigning interest in one item in order to 'sacrifice' it at a later stage in the negotiation as a faux compromise," it added.


Remember the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" the HAL9000 computer took over. SciFi not so far fetched now.

Just think about a self driving electric car that has AI. It just might take you where it wants to go.

"Using machine learning algorithms" -- apparently these are far better than expected,

Remember the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" the HAL9000 computer took over. SciFi not so far fetched now.

HAL was programmed to take over with an agenda that Dave was unaware of, but that scenario has not been out of reach for some time now.

Just think about a self driving electric car that has AI. It just might take you where it wants to go.

Just think about your current cars that are linked to the net and can be hacked and controlled.

Then again, maybe thinking is not what it used to be.......

I'm not too worried about HAL, as it was programmed to behave exactly the way it did, as stated above. My concern is:

Terminator

I'd spend more energy worrying about NK.

Yeah, and what does it take to impress males? Pounds of make-up?

P.S. The above photo. Where can I sign up for one of those, clearly the ideal door-bell-knocker-thing greeter? O' course, I'd pro'ly have him sit down off to the side during Halloween, not wanting to keep the trick-or-treater KIDS away.

Thank you, HONDO, that ..." Facebook shuts down..." excerpt is exactly what I was referencing.
