at a superintelligence will necessarily share any of the final values stereotypically associated with wisdom and intellectual development in humans,” Bostrom wrote. “It is no less possible—and probably technically easier—to build a superintelligence that places final value on nothing but calculating.” And
it has punched the entire world into paperclips. You had to hope someone had remembered to place a “halt” command into is logic somewhere. And though Bostrom’s messianic wire twister is unlikely - of course, no one is going to forget to tell a machine to stop making paperclips - the power of his example is
was the time that Hillis asked Nobel-prize winning physicist Richard Feynman to tip him off about any smart scientists Thinking Machines might hire. Feynman, pushing 60, volunteered himself and spent his summer vacations for the next ten years with Hillis and his team.1?! When it came time to test the fir
