I was watching a video called "Why Tomorrow Won't Look Like Today: Things that Will Blow Your Mind", from 2014, about AI and arguing for one of my recent posts.
It's a bit over-hyped on some of it's claims, but some info was really interesting.
Like the human brain vs. computer to process complex images and make complex decisions.
The human brain has over 100 trillion synapses created from about 100 billion neurons, and it all runs on a mere 20 watts.
A test was done with the lowest powered supercomputer they could use. It had over 1.5 million processors, with 6.3 billion threads, and took 8 million watts, and ran 1500 times slower.
Supercomputers take hundreds of times more power, yet operate 1500 times slower! That's 400,000 times more power required than the human brain, and it doesn't cut it!
Using this base, to actually process 1 second in real-time as a world simulation for a supercomputer, would require 12 billion watts. That's an enormous 600,000,000 times more power required just to run 1 second like us. Ha!
The human brain is quite a treasure. :D
Given that, I think it's safe to assume there won't be an AI uprising anytime soon.
Check out the video for more tidbits. It's an hour long though. Here it starts at the timestamp about the brain power:
The brain is fascinating, even the most simple of brains are still incredibly complex!

I just started loving my brain a little bit more. <3 brain. Thanks for sharing

Can you teach me about the DMT the brain makes too?

The more they find out about the brain..they more they find out that there's more to find out.
no AI anytime soon...I agree.

On the other hand, computers can now trounce the best humans in pure thinking game like chess or go, and their ability to crunch numbers make us look like imbeciles. We still have our strengths and true AI as shown in tv and movies is still quite far away I think, but there's plenty of tasks where computers have indeed made us "obsolete".

Yes, I have talked about that in past posts. This one is about actually processing data like us, and being able to make decisions like us, and the difference between how we operate and their capacity to mirror us. That's the context here. Thanks for the feedback.

Fair enough, they still fail badly in many ways when it comes to processing data as we do.

Where I figure we'll see tech go is being to interface the human brain with computers... It won't be skynet or AI.. It will be highly specialized individuals with implants able to directly interface with systems.
Imagine the bandwidth of data the human mind could process compared to our conventional computers? Hell, I'd get wired up.

Hehe... I'm not too welcoming of straying from our bio-design.
The Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, Vexille, PsychoPass future is not something I really look forward to...

I for one welcome the day we can seamlessly integrate into computer systems.
I'll have to check out these movies you mention above. Thanks for the list. :)

Totally positives, but I see losing much of our humanity towards technological infatuation. It's a complex philosophical issue. ;)
