    Undergrad Please Explain (actually explain) The Monty Hall Problem

    It is true that what you get at the end is a 50/50 odd. But the important information comes from the first round, about the odds you picked a goat: Why would you stay with a door that you are 99% sure it hides a goat when you could choose one that only has 50% chance of hiding a goat?

    4 of 4 models of automated blood pressure cuffs fail to read my BP

    Maybe it's you. If you feel calmer with humans and/or feel "trapped" while in the machine (or just hearing the pump buzzing), your blood pressure can be higher with the machines. From my experience with one bought at a local drugstore similar to yours, taking it a second and even a third time...

    Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?

    The results of using a life jacket or not are well-documented. The lethal consequences have been experienced many, many times, therefore proven. As opposed to the consequences of AI you are talking about that have never been seen in the wild and are still hypothetical. Every example you gave is...

    Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?

    We could equally state: That we don't follow the logic or don't find it compelling does not mean it is a valid danger. I think we have gained enough experience until now to understand that we will never put today's AI in charge of anything. It is clearly unreliable. The fear of AI spreading...

    Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?

    What is deliberate is the introduction of randomness into a neural network to mimic human conversations or their artistic side. But human conversations and art are not the only uses for AI - which has no randomness to begin with, just statistical analysis. So, if one were to design an AI to...

    Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?

    Brains are changing over time, so you will not repeat the same process twice. A neural network state can be determined (no matter how complex it is) and reproduced. If you have machine learning - i.e., the neural network modifies its own parameters - the process becomes even more complex. In...

    Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?

    It is still a fixed parameter and, once determined, repeating the calculations should yield the same results. If the data and parameters are the same, repeating the same prompts, in the same order, should give the same results.

    Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?

    With ordinary software, a bug can also be a question of quality control: we haven't analyzed what a user might input into a program. For example, a user enters "0" for their age, and the programmer never considered someone doing so. The result is that a division by zero happens somewhere...
