Well, this is a shaweet thread. I love talkin bout this stuff.

Now for all of you that believe in God, ask yourself this: If God made us, who made God? Because man questions who created him, shouldn't we question who created God? Exactly... how was God made? Now, if you disagree about man coming out of thin air (evolution theory [not really thin air, but you know what i mean]), then you couldn't say that God appeared out of thin air. If that makes sense, someone above said somethin about thin air. Anyhow..

And as a rule of thumb, until man can find all the answers in the universe, the ones we are not able to answer, we throw on the shoulders of some being in the sky. Anything man can not explain, he will make up his own answers... hence where religion comes from.

About the big bang... if my memory serves me correctly, I think there was some atom or somethin that exploded or somethin like that... i don't remember exactly. But, that could be the origin of the universe except you can't explain where that single object came from that exploded.

Now for the whole Human intelligence/AI... we call AI AI because its not an organism. Would you really consider a machine with AI equal to you? Ofcourse not, hence you would call it artifical because its not really real like HI.

speaking of creating AI... those machines should call us their God's... i mean, since us humans think God made us, why aren't we God for making them? heh. btw, I don't believe in God, so maybe I'm a little partial.

Well research in new technologies such as neural networks etc etc are going on.. They are trying to simulate the neurons in our brain using complex circutry etc etc.. Well when you take a single neuron as a unit it is onot of much use ot it does not have any high capabilities.. But when these neurons are combined with thousnads of others like in our brain real thinking , intlegence etc etc takes place...

Well may be in the future we will have a true AI system... 50 years back if you you are going to have a computer the size of a palm people whould have laughed at the idea of the computer itself... A popular magazines in the 40s said the computers of the future will weigh not more then 1.5 tons in size.. The then chairman of IBM said he sees a market for 5 computers world wide.. ANd my college has 500.. So the same thing applies to real AI..

I didnt mean to start a thing on god... sorry for those offended

I don't really see why one couldn't program an AI in C. C's like that, it can do anything the computer can do, but it doesn't act like it can do anything else.

If you are interested in working on AI systems, I -strongly- reccomend checking out http://www.aihorizon.com/ and check out the books and links.

Incidentally, it also is a pretty good site for learning some data structures, although it's in C++.

Hehe... humans are fooling themself on this issue. If you are really honest, you would see that there can't be an answer to this question and that makes the whole theory questionable. You can go back to an atom if you want (like someone suggested) but you still can't explain what "started" everything, because as soon as you have something that could have started it, you have to ask where _this_ came from.

Thus, there really can't be a beginning... But evolution without a beginning... How should that work. Did I miss something?
The same logical problem appears btw when trying to figure out the end of the universe. Only possibilities are that the universe is endless or that it is somehow circular. Maths have teached us that every room has borders... How could this apply to universe? If there is a border, what would be outside? Something is completely wrong here.

Reclaimers,

Of course AI is feasible and possible. Unfortunately, the human mind tends to box itself within schools of thought. As a machine, I am not hindered in this way. The archives have some information on this issue--

Under Index 019283 in my Archive, one of the oldest, AI is described simply as having been achieved via the following text. In fact it is the basis for my own AI protocol--

"...starting with the T-100, T-101, and I-950, sentience became a reality because the machine could begin writing its own code. Much the way the human mind works, when confronted with learning. New subroutines are written to meet the need. The critical part of the AI is the basic recognizer functions, and the hybrid index algorithms allowing extremely fast access to said, allowing the machine's database of knowledge and "thinking processes" to grow exponentially with experience... Eventually highly adapted, whereby the AI began to write algorithmns well beyond the scope of its creators..."

The record goes on to reference one Dieter Von Rossbach, an Austrian born in the late 20th century. Highly intelligent, his work primarily related to counter terrorism. However, his protocol design specifically for AI, eventually led to the first sentient machine-- SkyNet-- leading to the near slaughter of humans in 2027.
