Default Wheres the internet going? - 06-05-08, 01:34 PM

Just imagine this, using uploaded images collectively to build an environment but with information...



The internet is going to be a huge all mind like technology, with information it won't be long before it will be able to corespond information with others to weed out misinformation and make it factual so you'll be able to ''ask'' it anything.

Was looking for something on google not so long ago and ended up bumping into a thread I'd already made on here, whats on the net isn't ours. Glad I'm not into facebook/myspace and all of that.


I wanted to know if the Dagara elders could tell the diffrence between fiction and reality. The elders did not understand what a starship is, they did not understand what the fussy uniforms had to do with anything but they recognized in Spock a Kontomble of the seventh planet... they had never seen a Kontomble that big.

Western computing is far away from that kind of Artificial Intelligence (AI). We already have the ability to store massive amounts of information, search it, and even sort it by some "relevancy" criteria. However, the state of AI can be chalked up as just sophisticated information search and retrieval algorithms.

In my opinion, technology has to get out of the binary realm before it can begin to truly reason. All commercial electronics at its core is the transistor, which is still a decades old binary technology. As for right now, everything must be in black or white for AI systems right now. They cannot deal with the "gray", or for the Computer Science nerds, it cannot deal with something outside of its Knowledge Base (usually just a fancy database).

True reasoning comes not from a fixed set of logic circuits (which operate in a binary fashion), but in deciphering the "gray" into useful information. We just simply aren't there yet.

Interesting.

Perhaps if you took to practicing the doctrine outlined in the Metu Neter volumes you'll be better able to intuit a way out of the use of binary codes in systems along with other helpful applications in your field... something many physicists do.

What in the world does the Metu Neter by Ra Un Nefer Amen have to do with this? I have read his work, and don't see any advanced technology coming out of the Ausar Auset Society. That isn't to discredit them, but we have to stop stagnating our brains just because some of our ancestors did something really great a long time ago.

I would agree that there are gems to be used from the Metu Neter, but I hardly see how that relates to the advancement of Artificial Intelligence utilizing today's technology. If anything, we need to redesign our technology trends from an African perspective using African conventions and an African psychology and philosophy. Just because Duality (Binary) is at the core of Kemetic theosophy doesn't mean it can necessarily be applied here. If so, then provide an example in physics, technology, or otherwise. By the way, I am both an engineer and physicist.

You've misunderstood me completely.

Forget it.

That is cool looking and could be fun to play with for a while but I don't know if I would call it going anywhere.

It is like society has the problem of figuring out what to do with all of this processing power but we don't want to apply it in ways that fundamentally alter society. The computers and the internet are just a new form of entertainment and distraction.

Suppose every family had a database of 90% of all human knowledge in their homes. Of course some will say why have it in your home with the internet? With 500 gig drives how much do you need the internet for knowledge that does not change. How many people need to know what has changed in physics in the last 10 years? Some people are paying 50 to $100 per month for cable plus internet. Maybe they would only need to pay $20 per month for low speed if they had that database and no one could track what they were researching. Standard "all knowing" mother computers in homes that could be independent educational machines for kids could alter the way society works.

um
