SUMMARY

The discussion centers on Steven Thaler's patents for the "Device for the Autonomous Generation of Useful Information" and the "Self-Training Neural Network Object," which are foundational to the concept of a Creativity Machine. Participants express excitement and skepticism about the implications of these inventions for achieving true artificial intelligence (AI), with some predicting the singularity could occur before 2050. The conversation highlights the potential of neural networks to simulate human creativity and decision-making processes, raising questions about the ethical treatment of AI systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of neural networks and their applications
  • Familiarity with the concept of the singularity in AI
  • Knowledge of patent processes related to technology inventions
  • Awareness of ethical considerations in AI development
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Steven Thaler's patents on AI development
  • Explore the concept of the singularity and its predicted timelines
  • Investigate ethical frameworks for AI rights and treatment
  • Learn about advanced neural network architectures and their capabilities
USEFUL FOR

AI researchers, technology ethicists, software developers, and anyone interested in the future of artificial intelligence and its societal impacts.

All men go to good Earth in one eternal silent night

His first patent was for a Device for the Autonomous Generation of Useful Information," the official name of the Creativity Machine, Miller said. "His second patent was for the Self-Training Neural Network Object. Patent Number Two was invented by Patent Number One.

Its foundation is the discovery that great ideas are the result of noisy neurons and faulty memories.

how'd he get a patent on my brain?---

oh, could be "W's"
(that Bush is quite an 'inventor' -for sure)

(but who knows what 'virus' lies dormant
in the Mad CowBoy brain...)

something to chew on...

lotta food for thought--quite a meal

scary...

this guy's like the Tesla of neural-networks.

love it- don't touch that coil!
 
I just moved up my estimate of the singularity by ten years. Before 2050 now.

Do you think this will be a good thing or a bad thing?
 
It is only a matter of time before computers are "smarter" than humans They already beat us with shear brute force.

I for one embrace our AI overloards.

What? The denominator is approaching zero??

don't care for the cockroach models...
but the Pamela Anderson models, all right!

i think i dreamed about this 'article' last night

seriously-can't get it out of my mind...
 
Name

Did this Steven Thaler ask his machine what its name was?
CJ
 
So this just reinforces my point that I'm not crazy, just overly creative!

Sounds like a need for the birth of a 'computer rights society', to protect neural networks from being mistreated in an inhumain way. lol

These could be quite usefull,
Just imagine a game, where your adversaries can learn and grow.
Make a 'Deciding' Neural net, which decides which cource of action is the correct one (FSM, in a ches game a minimax tree)
And give the second neural net a 'memory' (link outputs to inputs),
And it would be a verry hard opponant.

WOW!

That's about all I can say.

WOW!

Is this a huge as it seems to me, or am I just being overly optimistic and taken by the romance of someone stumbling upon the key to true AI and analogesque digital brains?

It does appear to me to be that huge: which of course is why I am skeptical.
