This is a link post Computer neural networks on acid
interesting stuff. Training computers to recognise objects and then forcing them to interpret random noise.

The gallery of results is worth checking out

This is a normal post all living animals/organisms seem to be built with the same robotic engineering principles that we can only marvel at
small bursts of electricity controlling any movement
emotions/desires acting as "drivers"
applying logic by default
all this tuned into a main server(consciouness)?...so yes....robots (all be it meat and bone as opposed to metal and plastic

cool eh?

to arrest trees, cats and inanimate objects.

This is a normal post Absolutely fucking stunning to look at
and it suggests some answers regarding where some of the stuff that commonly becomes visible in, er, certain unusual states of mind may come from.

This is a normal post I actually find this quite worrying.
I was reading an article about why Elon Musk and others fear the singularity; it distils down to recursively improving AIs motoring past our level of intelligence somewhere around 2050 and either making us extinct or (less likely) helping us live forever.

The question raised was basically why should a hyperintelligent AI care about us? The answer most like is that it will recognise us as creators, and care about our future as some sort of benign overlord.

These illustrations suggest we have absolutely no idea about how different the world view of an intelligent AI would be from us - it might be hyperintelligent but totally alien in thought process and to paraphrase John Connor: "It will decide our fate in a nanosecond"
