Google, A.I. and Predictions of Hi-tech Apocalypse: The Exponential Detriment Question

I wonder just how many interesting little cases we have already that confirm our most conservative fear that deep learning A.I. may 'deep learn' to do things that do no benefit humans? By way of one small example, Prof Make Griffiths and I have just published a peer reviewed paper that shows Google's deep-learning autonomous A.I. Rank Brain appears to be preventing humans from using the previously incredibly disruptive Big Data power of using the IDD method in Google Books to bust deeply embedded establishment myths. The paper is here: http://www.mdpi.com/2076-0760/7/4/66

How many such small examples do we need to sum to the probabilities: (1) That (currently) an A.I apocalypse is more likely than not. (2) That an A.I. apocalypse is (currently) imminent? We might call this problem the "Exponential Detriment Question". One thing is for sure. There can be no harm to humans in collecting the necessary data now.

If you know the importance of what you unearthed, you had better "trumpet it from the rooftops" @DrMarkGriffiths otherwise people like @RichardDawkln will claim you're a dim poor sucker who never understood the importance of what you originally discovered https://t.co/RiRXVgRk1g pic.twitter.com/6jGdExlWrm

The Friedman Imperative versus Selfish Silence?

Nobel Prize winner Milton Friedman always refuted the fixed false belief that he originated of the phrase "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch" despite the fact that he used it as a book title. But what of Richard Dawkins and "The Selfish Gene"? https://t.co/Z9AVuv9vDF pic.twitter.com/3Bc6tYQrC0

Wikipedia is a Weirdo Cult

For starters on the #WorldsWorstEncyclopedia.

Why Does #Wikipedia allow its silly little group of weirdos to create weird little pages about people? I'd say it is a combination of all its editors weirdness, ineptitude, fear & neerdowell stupidity e.ghttps://t.co/Sq9KKjw6m2

Wikipedia Plagiarism

No joke. I don't expect "Bishop Dawkins" to admit he never coined the term selfish gene anymore than I expect Wikipedia to admit its editors plagiarised selfish gene & moral panic mythbusts: Independently verifiable evidence published in 2013 Frank : https://t.co/NEnV8YOSI8

Plagiarism in the field of perversions and paraphilias

Even more cases of serious plagiarism coming to light - during  IDD verifiaction research -  @DrMarkGriffiths in the field of paraphilia and sexual perversion (all will be published and therein explained in detail later by my distinguished colleague) : https://t.co/uaWnCrMGhb

Confirmatory Evidence for the Multiverse?

Two senior academics at Nottingham Trent University are having their Twitter profiles mixed-up by Twitter's algorithm.  How strange!

Dr Eric Baumgartner's image on his Twitter profile is being replaced automatically by that of the Distinguished Professor of Psychology Dr Mark Griffiths.

(1) Eric's profile: https://twitter.com/EricBaumgartner
(2) Marks Profile: https://twitter.com/DrMarkGriffiths?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

Fun confirmatory evidence for the existence of the #multiverse - this is not Eric Baumgartner's image. It is professor @DrMarkGriffiths image in the universe and university I know. 😁 pic.twitter.com/VKafZBaxmM

#Funny - it's happening again. Eric Baumgartner has morphed into Professor Mark Griffiths again on my "who to follow" on Twitter advice. How on Earth is this happening? That is Mark's image on Eric's profile! What is the Twitter algorithm actually doing? More so why? #NotRandom pic.twitter.com/1BrgfyMAh8
