Can machine learning turn things dangerous?



The creature doesn't need consciousness and intelligence to be dangerous. But when we create learning AI we must realize that those systems can learn skills that make them unpredictable. 

The other thing is that biological computers that are microchips that communicate with living neurons are things. That can someday be more intelligent than we are. And when we make those things, we are making another intelligent creature that can be more intelligent than we are. 

In some SciFi books, the artificial intelligence rips itself out of control and turns against humanity. One of the versions is that the alien spacecraft makes crashland and then its cre dies. The robot's mission is to protect the crew from attack against the planet's native creatures. 

There is a vision that some kind of earthquake can suddenly destroy the nuclear command center. And that causes the vision that the militarized AI interprets that thing as a purpose attack. And then it makes the counterstrike against some other nation. 

Learning machines are dangerous if they have tools for that thing. If the purpose of a learning machine is to lead an army, that thing is always dangerous. The ultimate example is the robot. That controls killer robots on the battlefield. In those cases, the system turns dangerous because its purpose is to be dangerous. 

There is a vision that AI will not rebel. The reason for that is this: AI has no consciousness. And it cannot imagine things. Then we can ask are insects like wasps and hornet organisms with consciousness? And what kind of consciousness do bacteria have? Those things can be dangerous if people go too close to them. And in some visions, the AI can try to shoot even nuclear weapons, if it has access to it, if somebody tries to shut down the computer that runs the AI. 

In that case, the computer that guards the nuclear weapons interprets that action as an attempt to harm the nuclear shield. And if somebody forgets to tell the AI that there is some service for its hardware it can think that an attempt to shut down the central processing unit is action from undercover enemy agents. 

We can think that non-organic computers and AI don't have consciousness. But they can react in devastating ways. That means the computers can have reflecs that make it dangerous. 



The biological computer is always the brain in a vat. 


If we someday create a biological computer with a cloned brain, we face a situation that we create a creature, that is more intelligent than we are. We can create mini-brains by using cloned neurons. 

There are visions of computers that are more intelligent than humans. And one of those systems is the biological computer. The biocomputer can be the brain that is under a glass dome. And the regular computers translate that EEG that the binary and quantum systems can cooperate with those brains that we can call "thinking units". 

The biological computer, connected with the quantum computer is the most powerful computer or data-handling tool, in the world. The system lays on a binary system and it can remote-control robots that clean the base, and serve the system. 

But the different situation is with the biological computers. The biological computers are all some kind of brains in a vat. Biologial microchips are hybrid tools. That have regular microchips connected with living neural tissue have their own will. Those neurons act like all other neurons. And they form a brain that defends itself. 

Consciousness makes the creature support its species. Things like mini brains make it possible that in the distant future, there could be computer centers where living brains are under glass domes. Those brains are connected with life support systems. And that kind of biological computer can also control remote-controlled robots. 

Each of those brains can be cloned human brain. And they can be as intelligent as humans. The problem is that we cannot control that system very well. In those systems those "think units" might operate through robots that bring nutrients to those systems. This kind of system might be extremely dangerous if they see some kind of threat.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
