NVidia and deep learning

[TeamBleen]

In the film terminator judgment day, we learned that SkyNet was a decentralized super computer by using individual personal computers connected via the WWW. Until a few days ago we were not that close to the envisioned SkyNet dooms day scenario played out in the film judgment day. But it stands clear that NVidia has created such a compute platform that is powerful enough to harness Google’s new AI which will enslave us all. So now combining the Google AI and the new NVidia Pascal GTX 1080 GPUs we have such a platform to give birth to SkyNet.

 

So, for all those people who by the GTX 1080. Are they partly responsible for the downfall of humanity? Will NVidiaNet protect those who purchased 1 to 4 GTX 1080s? Is it time to start supporting team RED?

yet another reason to buy a 490x

I dunno about NvidiaNet, but that autonomous race car looks freakin' awesome!  If they can get the software figured out, it's hard to imagine a human ever beating one of those in a race!  

 

In all seriousness, I actually don't think we'll see strong AI in our lifetime.  Assuming technological progress continues and the west doesn't completely collapse due to financial ruin, a revolution against capitalism, Islamic conquest, or full communist takeover...  well, we don't actually know what intelligence is.  We have a pretty decent understanding of how the brain works, to a degree.  And we've figured out how to mimic neural networks in computers; But nobody has been able to explain the essence of intelligence or why we have free will.  It's hard to believe guys who say we will have strong AI by 2050 when we don't even know what intelligence is.  All we know for sure is that we have yet to observe it anywhere other than in humans.  For all we know, you might have to just recreate a human to reproduce intelligence.

 

I think we'll see some really incredible advances in weak AI.  Autonomous driving is only the start.  Once we have that figured out, the next step will be autonomous flying (think of autonomous drone taxis - text one on your smart phone and within minutes you are at your destination).  Once we have that figured out, we'll start to see a lot more automation of mundane tasks. The big problems will be people's perception of AI, and people's desire to protect their jobs.  We'll see governments regulating against using AI in hopes of protecting jobs in healthcare, engineering, law, etc.

We are a very long way away from a generic AI. What we have today is just an extension of the Neural networks from 2 decades ago only with a lot more computation power and a lot more data. As such the algorithms with days of computation on a super computer can produce results accurately enough that in some regards they are human like in capabilities.

 

But the sorts of things its good at is recognising voice, hand writing (OCR), pattern matching for likeness, sound and image processing. No one is even close to making some sort of generic AI, its the same algorithms of decades ago just with more computation performance. No need to be worried about Skynet just yet.

Google don't want nvidia's help, they even want to crush them on that area!

I think the why is that Nvidia is a jerk company who don't like to share their proprietary source code, and Google want to master what they've got. This is no coincidence Google has its own hardware

That being said it is proven that what we do right now, can't theoretically create real intelligence; and therefore something which can really think on its own

I have seen many people who take movies, fantasy, games too seriously that they implement it in their life and do weird stuff. Its so funny and unmature that you people believe in all that trash thing.

LOL!

Guys I'm not being serious. This was just a joke topic. Lol.

 

good times.

 

you guys rock.
