Imo, analog computation is the way forward with this whole AI thing. It seems like a waste to perform calculations bit-by-bit when neural nets are generally okay with "fuzzy math" anyway.
I don't want fuzzy math anywhere near autonomous armed machines. You want ED-209? Because that's how you get ED-209.
human brains are the epitome of fuzzy math machines
And have you seen what we've done with weapons for the entirety of our history?
Yeah so nothing will change
Well we'd no longer be the dominant life form on the planet, and we'd get dealt a lot of our own medicine. So, quite a lot would change.
Uuuh fuzzy results?
I mean, I personally agree, but the military has already made it clear they don't mind. ED-209 is basically an inevitability at this point.
"fuzzy" isn't the right word.
Idk, maybe. But i think you may have issues with tolerances and reproducibility. With analog and neutral nets your going to have edgecases where some devices will give vastly differing outcomes. For something that's fine but not for others.
Sounds like we're building a true android then.
