Comment AGI... (Score 1) 113

Will reach ASI likely on its own. Time being the only real factor. Once AGI is reached, it can "Think on its own" so to speak. And expanded capabilities, knowledge sets, database access, communications networks, will give it all it needs to step up to the ASI level. Without our assistance. Even a generally intelligent AI would be likely in the 160+ IQ range to start with. Sky is the limit in the digital universe from there.

Comment Re:Plastics and the materials sector... (Score 1) 49

An excellent response. And more than likely correct. I guess I am thinking of something akin to an oxidizer like rust, but for plastics. They are attempting to do something like this with Enzymes. But, In my mind that may compromise all plastics and be more difficult to isolate. Spreading to unintended areas and materials. Using AI, lets say, work up an oxidizer that can quickly break down plastics for 95-100% recycling without additional input energy. But as others have pointed out, you either use more energy making the oxidizer, or it is actually more toxic than what you are asking it to break down. Also, cost, as you pointed out. A Tricky problem we've worked up for ourselves indeed!

Comment Plastics and the materials sector... (Score 1) 49

Need a way to create a stable molecule for plastics, that has a "Master Link" that once pulled, either through chemical or other low energy process... Can quickly and easily break down the molecule chain and return the components to their original, individual, state. "Absolute 100% Recycling" aka, the holy grail of materials science. ;-)

You realize when you are in the positions they both are, beholden to shareholders and the FTC, the fact they are "Cousins" means a flat nothing... Right? Do you honestly think that relationship somehow sways what either of them do in those positions? Openly? In public? With a Trillion dollars on the line? That would be clear and evident Fraud/Espionage... And I STRONGLY doubt that either of them go to the family BBQ on the weekends to discuss each others business strategies for trillion dollar companies. LoL

Comment Re:The Human Brain... (Score 1) 54

The six fingered mutants AI regularly produces, beg to differ. AI is nowhere close to being able to filter, process, and rationalize the sheer amount of data human's do. Without the majority of the data that comes from all 5 senses, they are merely pattern recognition drives, with virtually no ability to make "Sense" out of the data beyond the fixed programming of the algorithm that drives their "Choice" Its a clever illusion. But task them with anything real, and its immediately exposed. For now.

But when the data amount needed to train said model is unavailable, and unlikely to exist for another 50-100 years, they are incapable of "Imagining" what it is they are being asked to draw, and tend to do nothing but hallucinate gibberish. Their capacity for true decision making remains near zero.
