Re:Major advancements in Deep Learning in 2016 on Wednesday December 07, 2016 @10:35PM (#13128223)
This is fair, and one should certainly acknowledge the progress we have made as a functionality all its own, but there seems to be something else at work in the deep learning paradigm. I think (ha) we are dipping our toes in the water of intelligence replication, and that deep learning is a very real crystallization of hundreds of years (using Decartes as my x-axis) of scientifically accurate data amalgamation on what it is we are doing when we maintain a thought, so while the Perceptron is definitely the architecture for passing from the realm of information to the realm of data, what fascinates me is the proximity to actual human reasoning that is occurring presently within the 'mind' of, say, Watson, which I have to say is an incredibly providential name given IBM's founder, Sherlock's best bud, and James Watt's influence on electricity.

It's almost as if intelligent design isn't all that far fetched....lol

Wouldn't it BE super intelligent to have a very large array of radio telescopes that observe the sky 4 extinction level meteors? Let's not let hindsight be 20/20, shall we? Pretty sure Japan has already been advocating for said preemptive measures with their inclusion of a meteor shower simulation as part of the opening ceremonies in Tokyo

No one in his/her sound mind would posit a sane argument against that, nor should anyone in their sound mind posit an argument defending an unsound mind to stop us from building, launching, and maintaining said radio telescopes in outer space, n'est-ce pas?
