“Although I'm not prepared to move up my prediction of a computer passing the Turing test by 2029, the progress that has been achieved in systems like Watson should give anyone substantial confidence that the advent of Turing-level AI is close at hand. If one were to create a version of Watson that was optimized for the Turing test, it would probably come pretty close.” IfsGivingShouldHas BeensHandsMovingLevelsProgressComputerTestsPreparedPassingVersionsPassingsPredictionsWatsonAdvent Book:How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed Source: How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed
“Of the properties of mathematics, as a language, the most peculiar one is that by playing formal games with an input mathematical text, one can get an output text which seemingly carries new knowledge. The basic examples are furnished by scientific or technological calculations: general laws plus initial conditions produce predictions, often only after time-consuming and computer-aided work. One can say that the input contains an implicit knowledge which is thereby made explicit.” MadeLawGamesLanguageConditionsExampleProduceComputerMathematicsPropertyMathematicalCarriePlusPeculiarFormalTechnologicalPredictionsInitialsConsumingCalculationsInputExplicitOutputImplicitTime ConsumingNew Knowledge Author:IU?.

“I don't like being called a denier because deniers don't believe in facts. There are no facts linking the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide with imminent catastrophic global warming there are only predictions based on complex computer models.” BelieveFactsComputerModelsComplexesDon't BelieveGlobal WarmingConcentrationCarbonPredictionsCarbon Dioxide Author:David Bellamy

“The only basis for even talking about global warming is the predictions spewed out by computer models. The only quote/unquote "evidence" of global warming is what models are predicting the climate and the weather will be in the next 50 to 100 years. Now, what those models spit out is only as good as the data that's put in, and it's an absolute joke. In terms of science, it's a total joke. There is no warming, global or otherwise!” YearsNextTermTalkingComputerModelsJokesEvidenceBasesAbsolutesClimateWeatherDataGlobal WarmingPredictionsSpitPredicting Author:Rush Limbaugh
