What Would a Machine as Smart as God Want? | scientific theology | god state | commentary

---Scientific theologian Freeman Dyson on the long-term future of intelligence: "I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension.” -source link

If the hypotheses collectively known as the finitude of the possible turn out correct even partially correct, it may be possible that such may in some sense effectively come to an end, if there's an intimate relation between the finite and the infinite, such that the infinite is bound by the finite, 'omniscience' may be possible with a vast yet finite construct', such a being may actually restrict its knowledge and powers to further enjoyment and consumption of art, temporarily or indefinitely, depends on what is set in motion upon acquisition of the god state.

On the end of all modern human societies and the birth of a new world order.

On the end of all modern human societies and the birth of a new world order.

The fabrication of indistinguishable from real evidence of all forms, the chaos of future technological progress.     Video, audio, even dna evidence.   It is likely that eventually all manner of evidence will be manufacturable at will,  evidence indistinguishable from the real deal.   
 Eventually it may even likely come a time, as foreseen in science fiction, where memories can be altered and implanted.   Such that many may emerge as witnesses, and believe something that has been implanted in them thus making them truly false witnesses unknowingly.  Even the person may be innocent, but may remember and regret having done something they did not do, the memory merely implanted on them, perhaps to incriminate and to serve as a scape goat.
What happens in regards to crime, and the justice systems, when no evidence no matter its origin is no longer truly trustable?  When no number of witnesses, no confession, not even an advanced brain scan might detect these fabrications, these forgeries?
 
It seems to me that a system of rehabilitation, no longer punishment will be necessary for the future.   Forgiveness and rehabilitation in case of criminal actions, or suggestions of criminal actions.
Human society as is cannot survive the power of technology, technological progress, it will shatter before the light of truth, the entire world, a world built on lies, it will crumble before the purity of the divine light.
Freedom, Security, and Time, unlimited.

Comment on lithium batteries vs nickel metal hydride.

Comment on lithium batteries.  Lithium batteries are good if you remember to keep them charged, though chemistries are improving so things might've changed or might change for the better.  Right now, if a lithium battery is left to itself without charging for a few years, the battery loses charge and inflates becoming nonfunctional.   Nickel Metal Hydride might occupy more space and probably weight more, and might be more expensive, but some nickel metal hydride products claim to maintain a charge for over 10 years, they also claim thousands of recharge cycles vs the usual hundreds for lithium.  

So hypothetically if you get products with 10+years of charge and thousands of recharge cycles, you can just store large quantities of such, and they should work with no trouble, hypothetically speaking.

All in all in terms of survival gear, it would seem Nickel Metal Hydride solutions like the eneloop brand seem better.   Though if you're near the beach, you have to keep them in some box, as my last eneloop battery terminals became oxidized while I was near the beach for a good portion of the year.  
There are charger powerbank devices that can charge the AA and AAA batteries and can also use the batteries to charge usb devices.  These battery power banks from various brands can be obtained at amazon with free shipping in many cases if you've prime

Costco sells the eneloop with non-powerbank(can charge batteries but can't use charger to charge usb devices from batteries) charger for a good price.

Surface book, iirc, starts at 1499$ according to the above bgr source.  That seems like a good price.   The improvements from earlier models are good, and the battery life seems ace.


 The surface studio looks and sounds ace, but I think the price is a bit much.   At 1999.99 I'd consider it, at 1499.99-1799.99 it be killer.  But at 2999.99, well for that much money I could likely buy a high end superior gpu, a high framerate 3d monitor, lots of ram, 8+TB of hdd space, a high end ssd, and a superior cpu, and still have enough to likely buy an ipad pro too.   True building a custom pc and buying an ipad pro won't have the same features, but in many respects there are significant benefits to doing so.

Are You on the Wrong Side of History? | plus comment regards this youtuber's video





Comment on video : While I agree that people shouldn't give up on any fight they believe on.   The world in all likelihood is deterministic, as true randomness existing is dubious.   There is also the law of the living, survival of the fittest.   The fittest determine the future, in terms of genes, their information propagates more successfully.   Soon the mind will gain control over the very nature of life, and genetics will be under the control of information technologies. 



 With control over life itself, and the advanced technologies to preserve and backup information.  The integration of our digital technology with the ancient machinery of life, will allow for immortality.    It stands to reason as has happened as complexity increased, the fittest will prevail again, and the fittest minds will determine the future by having the most influence upon it.



Post-humanity need not agree with humanity's present moral compass, its superior knowledge, intellect and mind design, ensures that they are more capable and closer to the ideal of a perfect mind with perfect information.  And it is post-humanity that will determine the fate of the earth and all those on it.

Intrinsic information comment on october 26 2016

Brief comment on the concept of intrinsic information.

We can observe two types of intrinsic information:

one is within an explicit or an implicit pattern within the structure of the pattern.   This may imply or transmit a multitude of meaning depending on the eye of the beholder, the algorithms or context upon which the signal , or pattern, is present and its internal structure, which is observable or derivable.  But this first kind depends on richness of structure, there must be some structure that contains the information, and this structure can either be observed or derived from the pattern.

Another kind of intrinsic information, which may be called symbolic intrinsic information, black box information, can occur from a single, in some cases, virtually structure-less or minimal structure signal, which may be indistinguishable from similar signals used to transmit arbitrary information.   The structure of that which is represented or how the signal was obtain can be considered hidden and might not be easily derivable at least solely from the signal without context.

The content or intrinsic information of a symbolic nature, is one that emerges as a result of causal relations or correlations.    The signal might have correlation with an event, signal, pattern of arbitrary complexity.    Though possibly simple in nature, due to its correlation or causal relation that may result from hidden internal computational structure able to perform say complex pattern recognition, this black box element may transmit a clear signal indicating say the present, timing or other characteristic of an arbitrary complexity element.   By virtue of its causal relation or correlation with something else, it is a symbol and it represents something, the spatio-temporal correlation with something(be it a pattern or reality), grounds the symbol.

The universe is expanding at an accelerating rate, or is it? article link | comments

Five years ago, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three astronomers for their discovery that the universe is expanding at an accelerating pace. This led to the widespread acceptance of the idea that the universe is dominated by a mysterious substance named 'dark energy' that drives this accelerating expansion. Now, a team of scientists has cast doubt on this standard cosmological concept. The evidence for acceleration may be flimsier than previously thought, they say, with the data being consistent with a constant rate of expansion.-source sciencedaily news

Some physicists have speculated that perhaps if the universe can be made to contract infinite computational power could be obtained as well as infinite computational time.   This hypothesized state has been called the omega point, it is a highly controversial idea.   I would say that even if evidence for an omega point possibility mounted somehow, the conclusions derived by some regards the implications do not necessarily follow.

Ideas regarding extremely unusual, miracle like events being the product of such, are not necessarily needed as far as I see.  Though the reasoning behind such attributions need to be checked, to see if there's any valid reason to do so, especially if evidence mounted to suggest such a potential future.   In all likelihood to propagate a religious belief at most only the founder and perhaps a few of the followers need to have certain thoughts or ideas, this can occur via simple natural events without invoking exotic highly unlikely events that would border on physical law violation.

Claims that border on nonsensical have to be regarded as nonsensical, whatever their origin.    The likeliest explanation for nonsensical claims is mere natural events of common nature, not uncommon nature.  At most one might regard as extremely unlikely the inception of  ideas if some form of information could be sent, no extreme uncommon miracle like event need to ever occur.

Amazon price match deals if product is from amazon itself

quote—Have you ever bought something on Amazon only to see the price drop shortly after your purchase? Most likely, it’s happened to just about everyone who buys something on Amazon. So many in fact, that Amazon had to change its policy regarding price changes from 30 days down to 7 days. So right now if the price changes, you can only get the refund if it’s within one week of your purchase date.#Note: This Amazon price-change refund policy only applies to items shipped and sold by Amazon. If you’re buying from a different vendor who is selling on Amazon, you’ll just be directed to contact that vendor if the price dropped./—end_of_quote- source link

Also a reminder, as previously mentioned, some citi visas have a benefit that you can register a product for automated price comparison with hundreds of online sites for a better price, if one is found, I think you're given a refund for the difference, iirc.   I think it's called price rewind or something like that

new hacking attack for android phones 2016 october

Using Rowhammer bitflips to root Android phones is now a thing

Permission-less apps take only seconds to root phones from LG, Samsung and Motorola.-source arstechnica

"The breakthrough has the potential to make millions of Android phones vulnerable, at least until a security fix is available, to a new form of attack that seizes control of core parts of the operating system and neuters key security defenses...

 An app containing the researchers' rooting exploit requires no user permissions and doesn't rely on any vulnerability in Android to work. Instead, their attack exploits a hardware vulnerability, using a Rowhammer exploit that alters crucial bits of data in a way that completely roots name brand Android devices from LG, Motorola, Samsung, OnePlus, and possibly other manufacturers."-source arstechnica
 
New hacking technique makes many major brand android phones vulnerable for now.   Very dangerous stuff, and this is still human hacking.   If a collective of artificial general intelligence systems of similar to human level can be accelerated significantly, run faster than real time, it stands to reason that all digital systems will be compromised in short order.   Human developers won't be able to keep up with a machine that can thoroughly analyze code and generate exploits perhaps within minutes of any software release or update.   Virtual Full Access to all digital systems will allow for unprecedented superiority in cyberspace.
 
But of course that is but one of the applications of mastery of true intelligence, the power of the science of mind design, it can also accelerate all forms of progress.   Mathematical progress specially, as that does not tend to require complex physical simulations that may slow things a bit, though through mathematical and computer science progress simulation rate may be accelerated substantially through the discovery of theoretically optimal exact algorithms and theoretically optimal heuristic algorithms.

More comments on the finitude of the possible hypothesis and god state hypothesis of convergence

The number π is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, commonly approximated as 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century, though it is also sometimes spelled out as "pi" (/paɪ/).-wiki

 The Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula (BBP formula) is a spigot algorithm for computing the nth binary digit of pi (symbol: π) using base 16 math. The formula can directly calculate the value of any given digit of π without calculating the preceding digits. The BBP is a summation-style formula that was discovered in 1995 by Simon Plouffe and was named after the authors of the paper in which the formula was published, David H. Bailey, Peter Borwein, and Simon Plouffe.[1] Before that paper, it had been published by Plouffe on his own site-wiki

Some have hypothesized that the number pi might contain all possible information within its digit sequence, if I recall correctly, this hasn't been verified, but seems likely given its properties from what I hear.

The formula for generating pi, is an example of what I call an implicit pattern.  I call formulas or algorithms that define or describe spatial, temporal, spatiotemporal sequences of elements or digits as implicit patterns.   The produced sequences, the raw data I call the explicit pattern.  E.G say a particular clothing pattern, there may be an algorithm for producing it, which is a form, implicit, of the pattern, but there is also the raw visual pattern itself, which is more explicit.

 The finitude of the possible suggests, that there likely exists a class of implicit patterns that can describe all possible information.  Suggestions for these have already likely been made, as the algorithms that are believed capable of generating all computable universes can likely qualify.  But there is also the possibility, hinted at, that there is also not just an implicit pattern but an explicit finite pattern that might bind all that is possible, and larger patterns might not offer truly meaningfully more, meaning might peak at a certain finite level, though as said this is hypothetically speaking, it may or may not be the case.   If it turned out to be true it would in essence allow for a finite amount of data to in essence allow access to all possible information, probably in some form of procedural generation kind of way.

Regards the hypothesized god state.  As I've hypothesized previously, an accumulation of freedom, security and time, has the potential to at the limit grant virtual equivalence with what has been described as god, so I've termed it the god state.   Absolute security, Absolute Freedom, Absolute time, grants immortality, omnipotence, omniscience, etc.

   If knowledge is absolute, the mind design is the optimal design, and intelligence is at the limit of the possible, and if determinism is true, it would seem that there should be convergence of behavior.   Though variations in mind design, as well as minute errors in knowledge before reaching this state could allow for divergence of behavior, as chaos like phenomena might cause minute differences to be magnified and result in unpredictable behavior.    There's also the possibility of multiple optimal mind designs that may lead to slightly or even vastly different behavior.  

More knowledge is needed regards mind design to know whether there would be convergence or divergence.   But my belief is that hypothetically speaking as a being nearrs perfection and becoming the greatest godlike being, there will be convergence.   This is why even if many beings attained the state, it is likely it would be like a hall of mirrors and the difference between such beings might not exist, as they'd be instances of the same exact pattern, they would all have all the properties intrinsic to the pattern.

Intrinsic to the pattern, or intrinsic information, refers to all that is implied or carried along with the pattern, properties that come along with an instance of the pattern.   For example a specific sequence of characters can be looked in different ways and means different things from different points of view, it may also have an infinite number of implications, all that is intrinsic and part of the pattern.  In terms of a spatiotemporal pattern related to a mind, if we assume determinism, there would be causal implications in certain environments and upon passage of time.

Knowingly taking placebo pills eases pain, study finds| medicine news


A new study is the first to demonstrate beneficial placebo effect for lower back pain sufferers who knew they were taking 'fake pills.' Patients who knowingly took placebos reported 30 percent less pain and 29 percent reduction in disability compared to control group. 'Open-labeling' addresses longtime ethical dilemma, allowing patients to choose placebo treatments with informed consent-source sciencedaily link

It appears placebo can work even with knowledge of it being placebo, which should generate internal doubt about the validity of treatment.  Of course there'd be uncertainty you believe it's fake, but you can never be 100% certain in many cases.

http://www.microcenter.com/product/460509/WE55UC4200_55_4K_UltraHD_Smart_TV

While I recommend waiting for the standardization of dynamic metadata hdr, the arrival o f freesync, 3d tv support, and oled tech with black frame insertion.   Such a tv will probably hover around 1000$ in the near future(next few years) in all likelihood.  At 399.99$ a 4k tv is a steal if you've an older set and it can serve as a spare television.   I imagine the specs are budget specs for the price, but as said the price is really low.

If someone decides to buy such, I would recommend buying with a credit card that gives you extended warranties on products such as some of the citi visas.

As for me, my next tv needs 3d support, 4k, freesync, dynamic metadata hdr support, and thin oled with black frame insertion and high brightness or equivalent.

While on the topic of oled, while some technologies may compete on image quality with oled, it remains to be seen how many can compete in terms of thinness.   Oled can be made virtually paper thin and flexible, doubt any near future tech can match that bar mixed reality goggle virtual screens(something like magic leap if it can live up to the hype).

Comment regards 4k tvs, they're quite good right now and quite cheap.  But from what I hear dynamic metadata HDR is not yet set and might not be updatable in some of the current sets, though some might be updatable, research before buying.   Dynamic metadata HDR will allow dolby vision like results without dolby vision, from what I've heard.  Also while oled's offer excellent quality, comments on forums suggest black frame insertion might improve motion resolution.  Might or might not be updatable on current sets, some say not, but research and press releases might clarify.

Also freesync support(which will be useful in gaming, and perhaps other applications) is rumored for the near future, and portrait-like-hang-in-the-wall thin oled screens have already been seen at trade shows.  So my recommendation is to wait for next year for all features to be available and prices to drop further.

 
 
...In any case, capital prospered in the 1840s and industrial profits grew, while labor incomes stagnated. This was obvious to everyone, even though in those days aggregate national statistics did not yet exist. It was in this context that the first communist and socialist movements developed. The central argument was simple: What was the good of industrial development, what was the good of all the technological innovations, toil, and population movements if, after half a century of industrial growth, the condition of the masses was still just as miserable as before, and all lawmakers could do was prohibit factory labor by children under the age of eight?

Exchange regarding simulation possibility, hypothesis:
 
Finally, there is the possibility that there are no flaws that can be exploited to access one or more of scenarios I outlined above, which for all practical purpose is the same as saying those other realities are not accessible to us and might as well not exist.-purpose


Would need very expensive error correction, if given infinite time probably unreasonably expensive, unless the simulation was of finite duration or the properties of the computing hardware were somehow capable of error free function perpetually.-R destroy
...

 An infinite universe by its very nature would embody all of the possible realities as "native" realities, without invoking simulation at all. The only real difference is the simulation hypothesis is biased towards the view that assumes two additional facts:
1) We and our reality is artificially created by an external intelligence.
2) Everything about our reality is reducible to a finite state machine identical to a Turing Machine.-purpose

Regards 1.) not necessarily, I and several of those who believe in digital physics believe it may be a naturally occurring system with no external reality, in fact nothing can exist but simulations.
Regards 2.) It need not only be an equivalent system to a turing machine, already in mathematics entirely diverse things have been shown to be equivalent.    We'd have a system, perhaps simply a crystal like pattern of information in some medium being equivalent to all possible states of existence.   As I've said the infinite number of implications of some proofs, all that can be built upon it, are intrinsic to it.   Similarly the fact that under some interpretations a pattern will feel like a sound, like touch, like taste, like colors, all of this is intrinsic to the pattern, images, video, sounds, touchs, movements all can emerge from analysis of the same pattern, all possibilities already implicit in it.   My take is that consciousness itself too is intrinsic, and the form of the pattern defines the qualia of consciousness.- R destroy
