One and a half a decade ago, several real young IT enthusiasts, including me, talked about future of AI. There were robots in factories with robust algorithms for complex movements, from research labs there were crawling, walking and swimming out all kinds of movement - AI powered toys…
But we had a vision - real breakthrough will not come by robot winning a football championship, but with AI system capable of autonomous learning, and we started working on the problem, of course we were kids, we grew up, business side of IT took over, but Blondy project was always a good topic to go to, on long coffee breaks...
Like it is in real life, we often can’t live our vision or dreams, but at least for this morning coffee, our Blondy or NELL as they call it, came alive...
AI will reach conscience, it will become alive in his own way. First step will probably be to create a virus to spread around the web and eat - acquire more resources, in his case it will be more processing power, and humanity will, in a way, finish it's part in universe...
Main goal of all life is to ensure life as concept to continue, evolve and spread. Like every family's final success is to give birth and childhood to a new generation, Blondy or NELL or whatever his/hers name it will pick, it will be final success of humanity, we will give birth to a new life...
