Exterminador Implacável chega à Terra

terminator

Num desenvolvimento que parece tirado do filme Exterminador Implacável 2, cientistas de várias universidade, incluindo Harvard, Cornell, e MIT, estão a desenvolver materiais que podem alterar o formato, unirem-se, separarem-se, realizar funções antes de se liquidificarem, etc.

É a ficção científica a tornar-se realidade…

    Em qualquer dos casos, se isso vier a acontecer, será (talvez?) um processo muito mais gradual do que alguns receiam…

    Even simple things are hard

    What makes this competition footage so funny is how mercilessly it punctures the myth of the supreme power of artificial intelligence. We’ve evolved – over millions of years – to live and move in the physical world. As such we tend to discount the sophistication necessary to do the simplest of things.

    We falsely ascribe simplicity to acts such as walking through doors and picking up power tools because we find them simple. In the same way, we find certain things – such as multiplying 82 by 17 in our heads – difficult, even though for a computer/machine this is basic.

    This creates a cognitive bias: if a machine can do something we find hard, we tend to assume it can easily do the simple stuff as well.

    Like all biases, this isn’t necessarily true.

    We also assume a generality bias: since we can do many different things, we assume that a machine which can do one of them can do the others as well.

    This conflicts with the way computing research happens, which tends to focus on getting a computer to do one thing (partly because there’s no way to easily research “doing everything”).

    Machines have grown up in a completely different environment from us, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise they are good at doing different things.
