/sci/ - Science & Math

A typical comment on questions of the form "What did X mean by Y?" would seem to apply here: Why not just ask Kaczynski?

Did he actually say that? I wonder if he knows about the rise of AI in today's society. I wonder what he would think of that. Honestly, he shouldn't be in ADX Florence. He should be moved to some minimum security facility so he can do math and learn about AI

that's what he said in a letter to me.

Hes a scizophrenic. Dont give his ideas too much credit.

he meant "lets stop killing our mother and sustainer" and "you think how I treat other people in specific cases is shocking? you should be shocked at the general treatment of the planet"

Ted was right about everything.

Read his latest book.

>>10068502
He's just salty that he can no longer be a mathematician

>>10068556
he quit mathematics befeore he was legaly prohibited from doing so lol

>>10068524
can you post a pic so we can verify it? (/sci/ lurkers should know ted’s penmanship by now)

>>10068502
that the world has problems, and that we don't know how to deal with those problems.
so he went around blowing shit up.

>>10068840
honestly, I don't think the world is going to be as dystopian as most people tend to make it be.
consider AI for one. people are afraid that it'll ignite a dystopia by becoming self conscious. they forget that it's a super intelligent machine which was designed to abide by the wishes of humans... I highly doubt that a super intelligent machine would misunderstand those wishes.

>Mathematics will probably be the first field in which human intelligence will be totally superseded by machine intelligence

>>10068502
OP says this because you OP only now elementary school math used by accounting brainlets.

Computer Systems such as Wolfram Alpha superseded Engineers

But computers can't supersede the 150+ IQ of top Physicists & Mathematicians yet.

it was printed. i've posted it a while back here on /sci/ and also on /pol/

>>10068875
>yet
that's the point

He's a hack faggot that blew peoples' limbs off just so he could prop up Ray Kurzweil's bullshit from supermax

>>10068851
It wont be blade runner it'll just be psychologically damaging to the west and cause massive suicide

AI will never be smart enough to suggest it's own formulas. It will, however, always be better than humans at calculating known ones.

>>10069287
dude. You are wrong. Its entirely possible to simulate the human brain if you knew how it is wired, thus you can also simulate intelligence even greater than a human brain.

>Inb4: define consciousness, define intelligence.

Stacking theorems really is something that computers should do better than humans.

Legit question, if we managed to code all mathematical knowledge existent into logical statements written in some computer language (either an existent one or a new one designed for this purpose), couldn't we just feed that into some neural networks and let it find new connections and write new theorems?

The thing with most other sciences is that they seem to require at least a little bit of "intuition". Something that is not just logical statements combined, but some "leap" that leads to the right conclusions.

Often you see experimental sciences advancing a lot faster than theoretical ones, and the theoretical part has to catch up and demonstrate what happened. (Although of course the opposite also happens from time to time)

Global warming. Robots taking over and destroying the biosphere

>inb4 no

If its sentient it can choose not to obey if it wants to, is that hard to understand?
