The past the future and the present

I like the AI (Artificial Intelligence) video by ....

Ben Goertzel

( who appears to be keeping reasonably quiet about the future possibilities ).

________________________________________________________

Very interesting to listen to him .......... (link to video at the bottom of this page)

It raises the questions about whether or not a similar thing may have happened before

Maybe Billions of years ago .......

The earth was desolate and possibly a testing ground for experimental AI projects ......

This would answer why so many types of animals exist / adapt to survive in different climates

______________________________________

If billions of years ago way before anything existed on this planet,

We cannot possibly get data for that far back .... a similar type of life form was doing exactly the same thing as we are trying to do now.

1. Trying to think of ways of colonizing another planet.

2. Inventing weapons that are so destructive that if we keep playing about with them ....

We will discover something that not only makes an incredible big mushroom cloud and wipes out miles of land and people ...... but worse .... ( we wont go there ....) ........

But the other things like AI and robots ..... I can see the next step .... and it is already happening .....

Our thoughts ....... for some are towards making Mars a place to live .......

http://quest.nasa.gov/challenges/marsanalog/final/brown.html

The planet is not habitable for us because of the atmosphere on it ..... so the options are ?

We consider sending AI robots to whichever planet we want to live on to get vegetation growing,

to create an atmosphere that we can live in ...........

______________________________________________

Meanwhile our own planet gets destroyed and everything on it,

Possibly a destructive mistake or a comet collision .........

__________________________________________

This then just leaves the AI s we have created

happily

making the atmosphere on the planet we have sent them to

with no knowledge of our existence

Other than unexplained things around the Pyramids

Like Technology that should not have existed then .....

http://www.europa.com/~edge/pyramid.html

and possible aircraft landing sites ....

The AI's are the things we are so eager to create .....

But we have to design them with a system so that they can self replicate

like maybe with the ability to create other AI s inside themselves

not impossible if we keep learning at the pace we are learning .......

____________________________________________

These AI's are then left out alone on the planet we sent them to ......

but with no trace of us there creators .....

What do they then do ...... evolve ....

Ties the theories we all believe in together ...... evolution and a creator ( a God or Something else )

This removes all the fighting over which is right or wrong

Both theories are correct.

Thats my story at this moment in time ...... based on the logic I have ......

From reading and watching videos of other peoples work ......
