Hi everyone,

I thought that I've been finding so much interesting stuff on the internet that it would be good to make a thread where I make one post a day of an interesting article I have found. This will kind of be like Rodent's thread in the entertainment section but nowhere near as...well...entertaining...

I'll start with this one:

http://fusion.net/story/204316/darpa-is-implanting-chips-in-soldiers-brains/

"For decades, DARPA, the secretive research arm of the Department of Defense, has dreamed of turning soldiers into cyborgs. And now it’s finally happening. The agency has funded projects that involve implanting chips into soldiers’ brains that could one day enhance performance on the battlefield and repair traumatized brains once the fog of war has lifted."
 
This is a good idea, Paraiyar. I used to read articles like this from time to time but fell out of it when I started to turn my focus inwards. I'd love to start exploring topics like these again. It might get my creative juices flowing again as well.

"It can be expected that supercomputers will soon surpass human capabilities in almost all areas—somewhere between 2020 and 2060. Experts are starting to ring alarm bells. Technology visionaries, such as Elon Musk from Tesla Motors, Bill Gates from Microsoft and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, are warning that super-intelligence is a serious danger for humanity, possibly even more dangerous than nuclear weapons. Is this alarmism?"

And to make up for my posting negligence again, here is a second:

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/03/170301093659.htm

"The study offers a fascinating finding: machine learning -- a future frontier for artificial intelligence -- can predict with 80-90 percent accuracy whether someone will attempt suicide as far off as two years into the future. The algorithms become even more accurate as a person's suicide attempt gets closer. For example, the accuracy climbs to 92 percent one week before a suicide attempt when artificial intelligence focuses on general hospital patients."

Why am I seeing Terminator in my mind??

"The other prominent prophet of the Singularity is Ray Kurzweil. In his book The Singularity is Near, Kurzweil basically agrees with Vinge but believes the later has been too optimistic in his view of technological progress. Kurzweil believes that by the year 2045 we will experience the greatest technological singularity in the history of mankind: the kind that could, in just a few years, overturn the institutes and pillars of society and completely change the way we view ourselves as human beings. Just like Vinge, Kurzweil believes that we’ll get to the Singularity by creating a super-human artificial intelligence (AI). An AI of that level could conceive of ideas that no human being has thought about in the past, and will invent technological tools that will be more sophisticated and advanced than anything we have today."
