Catzilla

Matt McCarthy describes his own cats as sweet and cuddly creatures, but on the day when he saw his cats play with a bug that entered his home, McCarthy remembered something about cats: they are apex predators. A thought then crossed his mind: “How would cats react to me and my wife if we were that small?” This resulted in the creation of these photos which depict giant cats in various cities.

See the photos over at Sad and Useless.

Would you be scared if a giant cat suddenly appeared in your city?

Artificial Intelligence is a complex illusion. As one who studied and practiced it, I know this. Trust me, we have a long way to go before machines actually 'think'. As of now, human engineers and programmers are just very good at making machines that *appear* to think (even to other scientists).

The process in which AI works is different than normal progammed behavior, but they they are still only capeable of operating within the designed parameters. (and in cases like this one, those parameters are designed to have the machine come up with a hypothesis on a give problem, and experiment with it, etc.. Basically, it seems to run a simulation of the scientific method).

Knowing what I do, I'm not too concerned about AI going crazy. What may *actually* go awry are the organic computers, which utilize biological cells as their processors. Granted, I dont know much about these computers, but... any living stucture has a chance to adapt, evolve, mutuate.

machines cannot preform the scientific method.

they cannot determine the diference between what is not a problem and what is.

give a robot 3 perceptions:
vision
hearing
touch

and then connect those to:
a speaker and biotic movement devices

no programing, thats it

also give it a hardrive of like 3k terabytes or something
