how far away are our robot overlords? 🤔

we are already controlled by them, even devRant is a overlord

i welcome our robot overlords

Well not that far anymore. since the smartest kids are all hired by google and Facebook etc with only one goal in mind: to manipulate you in clicking on their ads.

Feeling depressed yet?

It makes me sick to see all the energy that is wasted on making better ads in stead of medicine, world hunger, privacy, or general science.

In 2013, they were able to simulate 1% of the human brain. If you apply More's law to that fact, we should be able to simulate 128% of the human brain after 7 steps of 1,5 year. This would mean that we reach the singularity (as it's called) around 2023/2024.
But the most frightening or hopeful fact it's that it will be exponential after that. Meaning that around 2028 we will be able to simulate 1024% of the human brain with a super computer. Fast forward a couple of years, and consumer electronics will be smarter than 1000 of the most brilliant minds that live today.
Assuming that we still have consumer electronics and money when it gets that far. After all, what's the use of money when all physical and non physical labour can be done by computers and machines?
Utopia, here we come!

For the record: I'm not a transhumanist nor a Google employee, but if you think logically this is not a sci-fi scenario. At least I sure as hell don't hope so!

@kanduvisla kinda, but some complexity is still hard to model. The steps from 1 % of brain cells to a functional brain to a computer smarter then us is further away i think

The code I wrote will make sure this never happens because it crashes a lot. My contribution to human supremacy.
