Todays THE FUTURE IS NOW: AI makes better AI than humans!

There is no way this can go wrong right . .
Even if the timetravelers from the future warnings about this get more and more desperate . .


Also:
I could have sworn we had a singular topic for stuff like this somewhere, but i can't seem to find it on the first 5 pages of topics in here . .
Welcome, to IronHell.

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

Not Skynet per se, but AI building more efficient/effective AI is the surest harbinger of the Technological Singularity.

While everyone's Philosophy is not in accord, that doesn't mean we're not on board.

As far as I can tell, the paper that article is referencing is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.07012

The researchers were able to automate the architecture engineering stage of a neural network design. That's totally neat, don't get me wrong. But we're still solidly in the Weak AI paradigm. The paper also found that their automated architecture engineering procedure was better than random architecture searching, but not by a huge margin.

So not quite Skynet.
Out beyond the hull, mucoid strings of non-baryonic matter streamed past like Christ's blood in the firmament.

As a software developer, I've never been too worried about creating Skynet. I am more worried about automating myself out of a job. I suppose it would be fitting, given how many other jobs I've automated in my life.
