@sapinker What’s the psychology of futurism’s preference for the 15-25-years-from-now prediction? It’s rampant, in medicine, robotics, etc.

@carlzimmer@sapinker Except for practical nuclear fusion power, which is only 10 years away and always has been. -
@VenerableTrees@carlzimmer@sapinker Except for those guys in--was it Utah?--that one time. -
@amgamble@carlzimmer@sapinker Yeah, those guys really nailed it.

@sapinker looking at Siri, Cortana, Google Now, and Echo -- "we stop calling it AI when it starts to work" rings truer every yearThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sapinker Just like controlled nuclear fusion. -
Reverse engineering vs Inventing... not really alike
-
Your point? Both Human-like AI and controlled nuclear fusion are reverse engineering. One replicating the brain, other the sun.
-
With AI reverse engineering the neocortex is the hard task, with fusion - inventing a way to implement it in a confined way
-
No offense if you're an engineer, but both lacking a foundation in basic science. Strong nuclear force and consciousness are ?s.
-
but there are real advances in neocortex research and basic science should be fine, we just need model/research 2/2
-
My point is that the basic science is INCOMPLETE. We need to fund both engineering and paradigm-challenging scientific research.
-
but there is recent research in reverse engineering that can actually work. See Numenta and Kurzweil
