Tech Giants Announce Plans For A New World Religion Based On Worship Of AI Computers

Many people in Silicon Valley believe in the Singularity

If you believe that mankind's destiny is extraterrestrial than you have to realize that it has to be inorganic as well.

You fear what you do not understand and you understand so little. Everything is either divine intervention or the work of the devil when you live in ignorance.

I still got a lot of crap to catch up (work) and not enough time to delve into the AI but I have a couple questions regarding AI that resident exprts could answer me.

1) Is AI self-aware ? (" The capacity for introspection and the ability to recognize oneself as an individual separate from the environment and other individuals." Wikipedia)

2) Is AI thinking or just solving problems with pre-learned defined routines at (by human terms) very fast speeds ?

3) Most innovative leaps of discovery were made by jumping in to new patterns of thinking not previously defined and in some cases rejected by current scholars (eg: Relativity, genetics, particle physics, etc). Will AI be capable of similar achievements ?

4) Will AI appreciate or see any relevance to art ? Will the AI residence be void of paintings, portraits / reminders of past experiences ?

5) Will AI have any inherent sense of loyalty ?

I'm rhyming these off my head - my apologies if the video has answered them.

The guy is worth upwards of $120M and he’s budgeted about $10k for starting up this religion. Not sure how serious he is; might be pulling Wired’s, um, wires! (Ah, I make myself giggle....)

Anyway, I see AI as potentially bad but with set rules, controllable. Ie, if an AI cannotmphyscially connect to something, it can’t control it. Which makes electrical power the final veto vote for an AI “brain” (which conceptually could be across the globe....)

The biggest fear, which I think is rationale, is an AI that disrupts Financial and health networks for reasons unknown and quickly. Interesting studies on AI cars and imaging and how it works: the patterns that get recognized and acted upon are not what humans perceive, so it’s reasonable that the actions an advanced AI takes out on a network could be for reasons foreign or unrecognized by humans as well.
