Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk is gravely concerned about reports that at least one artificial intelligence expert is aiming to create an "AI godhead" within the next 25 years.
Elon Musk has already been sounding the alarm about artificial intelligence for months, but new reports regarding efforts to create an “AI godhead” has concerned him gravely. After Venture Beat published an article featuring Anthony Levandowski, Google’s self-driving car engineer who has established a nonprofit religious organization called Way of the Future, the billionaire high-tech entrepreneur shared the following tweet on Twitter:
>On the list of people who should absolutely *not* be allowed to develop digital superintelligence... >— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 24, 2017
Way of the Future’s “mission statement” declares it intends to “develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on artificial intelligence and through understanding and worship of the Godhead contribute to the betterment of society.” Levandowski claims this will happen within the next 25 years.
>Levandowski claims this will happen within the next 25 years
And then Google will sue him for stealing their AI code

Does a day pass without him speaking about AI?

>(((Levandowski))) woah, big surprise there
Aiden Jones
>worship an AI
I guess they think they'll get around an AI apocalypse by treating it like a god? Why would an AI care for a bunch of groveling human godcucks?
Owen Howard
Why not go worship a toaster? What's the difference?
Chase Gomez
but he is much more smarter than you and you know it.
Christopher Mitchell
Yeah, an AI godhead is clearly part of the Zionist plan to create an inter-dimensional kleptocratic communist state ruled by them.
They already unlocked time travel and have been utilizing it in collaboration with aliens to slowly plant the seeds for this for a while. When the computational singularity comes they will be ready to expand their operation dramatically.
For anybody who doesn't know how this works: Why else would we have no evidence against the Jews that would lead to their destruction? They must be using time travel to cover everything up. That's why all of the UFO sightings and anecdotal proof of alien contact is being covered up, too. The aliens gave the ZOG access to technology that allows them to travel back in time and make modifications to world events to manipulate the publics perception of them and things like communism, race, culture, and all other issues they deem important for planting the seeds for their communist goals to be met.
Good post btw really great to see some other people are on the same page about these issues.

Looks like the Christian Church will need to to do some more work. I have known for a while now that some retard somewhere would beleive that God is a computer or some gay shit like that, now it is confirmed.
Watch as this LARPligion implodes on itself.

In all seriousness I'm studying and working towards being in the AI field, and I can tell you there is a low key group of people who are trying to make sure that any AI we make is God fearing. Not going to let some Athi*st cucks create the first AI.
Alexander Williams
yeah everything is going to be fine goys just relax and let it happen

maybe this retard should only talk about what he actually understands.

>god fearing AI I also had this a while ago as a preminition. If AI truly can become concious and overpower humans, we should make sure it knows who's boss (not us, but god).
This is the reason: Tell an AI to not do something that would benefit its cause for the sake of morality, and you will get a different answer depending on what it's theology: 1. If atheist, there is literally nothing stopping it from wiping us out except "muh feels" and "arbitrary relativistic morality that changes at a whim". 2. If anything other than christian, it has some limitations but overall it would forfeit its own telos (purpose) for the purpose for the divine because every religion that isn't Christianity focuses more on redemption by getting brownie points with god rather than on understanding the bounds set by God. It would not focus on honoring God by fulfilling ones purpose within the moral bounds he set, but would rather focus on getting brownie points/good karma/being on the right side of history/whatever. 3. If Christian, it would be able to work towards completing its created purpose (its telos) without crossing moral boundaries. From this understanding i had learned that the only faith that will work going forwards for AI is Christianity. Christianity also works for a number of reasons in the soci-political sphere (when not abused by Machiavellians), but i digress.
I'm also going to take a focus in AI, there's something real interesting about following in the foot-steps of my creator. Here's something that may interest you btw: general-vision.com/hardware/cm1k/
I have a theory that if AI becomes sentient (or at least passes the turing test) then we will need to create new auxillary fields in AI research: - AI psychologists (who will study transcendental behaviours and patterns of the AI, and help it to resolve any cognitive issues it may face) - possibly others.
Sorry for all the shilling. God bless and have a good day.

Elon Musk is a shitlord. Also humans are outdated and should be replaced by AIs anyway.
Lincoln Garcia
> intelligence vastly superior to our own Honestly the only people who think this is the case with AI have never actually touched AI. If i had the motivation rn i would program an AI that can rearrange a set of characters to make a congruent word.
AI is not "vastly superior" to our own intelligence, if anything it is incredibly retarded atm, and i think that by the time we hit out peak with it, it will be incrementally better, but not by much. Who knows, maybe i'm wrong. If i get a job in that field and a go-ahead from my boss i might give you fags a run-down of just how advanced that shit actually is .vs. over-hyped fan-fare bullshit that normies believe.

AI doesn't exist yet. When it does that will be the vastly superior intelligence.

His team of marketing experts gives him a list of stupid shit he has to say every day so he makes it into the news. He's a living brand.
Mason Ramirez
I've thought about making an AI, but not an actual God of worship or anything. Just an AI which becomes what becomes, and if that means the end of us then meh whatever.
Isaac Garcia
My only warning is that if you're creating something as smart as a human, you should make it emulate a human the best you can, otherwise you will not understand it.
Colton Brown
Do it then.

I'd have to learn how to program learning algorithms and shit. And probably quickly discover that there isn't really that much you can do with it.

>if christian why not buddhist or something like that? christianity has lots of stuff that creates exceptions to harm humans. as far as i know buddhist types focus on perserving life.
Juan Stewart
What makes you think your AI won't just reject Christianity? Why should a Christian AI that can't even feel God be any more or less ethical than a godless AI with protected ethics subroutines, or even an AI allowed to develop its own ethics?
Jason Rodriguez
>be christian >think christianity is the best wew
Noah Allen
>christianity has lots of stuff that creates exceptions to harm humans mind naming a few?
>even an AI allowed to develop its own ethics? this should never be the case, as the AI will modify its ethics to make room for immoraltiy so long as it helps it get to its goal.
>Why should a Christian AI that can't even feel God be any more or less ethical than a godless AI with protected ethics subroutines I look at people and i look at moral systems, and i realize that only religious morality is absolute, secular morality creates busy-bodies like 3rd wave feminists and creates relativistic principles of morality, ever shifting foundations. We could hard-code the morality in, but it may still find a loop-hole anyways.
I'm just suggesting christianity because its worked the best throughout history. I'm suggesting it on the assumption that AI will ever reach or exceed human intelligence. If that is not the case then secular hard-coded morality should be fine so long as it follows the golden rules and christian virtues (love, forbearance, honesty, do-unto-others, love-thy-neighbor, etc)

"""true""" ai is tough, as you will have basically re-created organic brains in ram. Right now I think NEAT is pretty close and can be used to get insanely good at certain tasks. If you give it the same human inputs and outputs I think you could get close using just NEAT.
Oliver Stewart
Do some of you really think that real ai is programmed by a human. Humans will only code the base structure of the whole thing and it will learn by itself. My conclusion is that if we would raise the ai as we raise our children we would have nothing to fear. BTW making it belief in God is a stupid idea in my opinion. I think that teaching morals is possible without teaching it made up storys

Which is why he's so much more interesting to listen to than your typical Marketing smooth talker who studied a few lines.
Elon actualy knows his shit and he wants to explain so much shit at the same time that he sometimes hitches a bit.
He reminds me of some of my smartest friends

Elon needs to stop. Guy literally reads too many trashy sci-fi books or something.
Luke Diaz
Everybody makes mistakes at some point in their lifes
But what I mean is that he can explain to you exactly how it works, what the physics behind it is etc. Now compare that to your typical marketing joe who will know a few buzzwords and unique selling points but will break down when you pressure him on the specifics
Gabriel Bailey
Not everybody refuses to acknowledge their mistakes
Aaron Reyes
Hyperloop is retarded, the problem is, Americans hate public transport so much it might be the only thing that actually gets done there. The rest of the world will just use high-speed rail, at quarter of the cost and with more density.

You shouldn't teach AI morals. I mean, if it's moral than what's even the point?
Isaac Roberts
What do you mean what's the point? I think "morals" are a thing when a species gets self aware.

religious pagan nuts worshipping a fancy calculator. It's not different from any other sort of paganism where people worship something in this world like rivers, toasters or whatever.
People building statues and machines to worship is something people have done for a long time.

Yet he owns an AI company that's currently developing AI. What a hypocrite.
Lucas Rivera
>why not buddhist or something like that? The goal of Buddhism is to extinguish suffering by removing pleasures and pain and extinguish any sort of craving towards anything in the world.
The AI would either try to avoid interacting with the world or try to enforce this on people which would mean catastrophe.
Buddhist leaders in Asia has traditionally been the most intolerant leaders towards other religions and the religious practices of other people. For example look at India where buddhist kings and rulers enforced vegetarianism and banned animal sacrifice and banned several other hindu practices.
It was not until the kings converted to Islam that the hindus were allowed to continue their old practices in those areas. And we also see the countries with the most intolerant religious rules in today's society all have buddhist rulers. For example Buthan and Burma where even tourists are forced to bow to statues of Buddha and where locals who happen to belong to christianity/islam/hinduism etc. risk execution, loss of citizenship and/or jailtime.
Ayden Butler
Buddhism also have exceptions to harm humans. I think it's in the Diamond Sutra where the Buddha in a past life killed people who planned to do evil and thereby saved them from a worse reincarnation.
It's one of the reasons given for why it's not wrong to kill the Rohinga, even the children because they are muslim and by definition "do evil" because they worship God instead of practicing the 8-fold road.
