THIS WEEK ON THE VIKING YOUTH POWER HOUR...
Robots are Taking Over the World!!!
The Viking Youth sit down with Ken Gumbs director of the documentary "Building Gods",
a self-funded feature length film about the coming Super Intelligent machines and Artificial Intelligence. We discuss with Ken the philosophical,
technological and spiritual implications of this seemingly imminent and inevitable development of human history.
Presently, Chatter-bots, CYC programs and the Blue Brain Project are all being developed to
learn how the human brain works and will most likely achieve a marked level of success in our life time. But once we successfully map the human brain what will
be the implications not only for where we stand as a species but where our goals individually and collectively might take us? And how will those change?
What will the hyper-intelligent machines look like?
And how many intelligences will these machines have? Simply cognitive? Emotional? Athletic intelligence? Will Artificial Intelligent machines have a sense of
pride about their creations or care for their creations as we have found in some humans?
Is this the end of humanity, the over-fetishizing of intelligence or maybe even the next step in human evolution? Big shit, bubba. Big shit for sure.
To help clean the pallette on this high minded quest let us quote our very own and very dear Viking Alex...
"Technological Singularity is just the Rapture, but for nerds."
Damn, Chicago podcasts have never been this fucking good!
