James L. Carroll: Roadblocks to the Singularity?
http://jlcarroll.blogspot.com/2013/02/roadblocks-to-singularity.html
James L. Carroll. Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Roadblocks to the Singularity? Book review of "Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100". This was a fun book, but I believe that he is wildly overly pessimistic with regard to his predictions concerning strong AI. He proposed six "roadblocks to the singularity" which I would like to respond to in turn. He writes:. I believe that there are three reasons that this is incorrect:. And the Brain is a proof b...

James L. Carroll. Thursday, August 18, 2011. James Carroll's Review of The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution. The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution. My rating: 3 of 5 stars. This book was only so so, and there were two main reasons. First, his evidence:. It simply wasn't that good. And it's not because there isn't good evidence for evolution. But the whole way through this book I kept thinking things like: "I could produce better evidence than that! Second, his atheism:.

James L. Carroll. Tuesday, January 17, 2012. The Singularity May not be Near, but You Have Yet to Convince Me. I would like to take a moment to respond briefly to Michael Shermer's fascinating article: "In the Year 9595, why the Singularity is not Near, but Hope Springs Eternal" in Scientific American, January 2012. Moore's Law will ultimately fail too late to stop the creation of the hardware needed for true AI. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My Web Home page. James L. Carroll has a PhD in. I atte...

http://jlcarroll.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
James L. Carroll. Tuesday, June 14, 2011. GDP, Going Further Back, Optimism Again. I earlier blogged about Why I am an Optimist. In that post I presented the following graph of GDP between 1930-2011:. My Per Capita, inflation adjusted GDP graph for 1930-2011. I was fascinated by the exponential growth in GDP, even in inflation adjusted per-capita GDP, and craved more data. Since getting data from the future by Hepatoscopy. In any event, I looked around the internet for some more data, and found this data.

James L. Carroll: November 2014
http://jlcarroll.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
James L. Carroll. Wednesday, November 26, 2014. Ferguson, Uncertainty, and a Way to Move Forward. I have been silent about the Ferguson matter so far, but I think it's time that I try to articulate a few of my thoughts on this matter. The testimony of Darren Wilson, and that of those others who saw the event are ultimately unreliable. The result of this, is that I simply do not know if Darren Wilson murdered Michael Brown or not. And I believe that the certainty with which some others (on both sides)...

http://jlcarroll.blogspot.com/2011/05/welcome-to-future-why-i-am-optimist.html
James L. Carroll. Tuesday, May 10, 2011. Welcome to the Future, Why I am an Optimist. A little while ago, I posted a chart I had created on the US GDP to facebook. I created this chart because I was curious about how the current recession had affected the US GDP. This is what I came up with:. My Per Capita, inflation adjusted GDP graph. However, as a friend of mine pointed out, GDP is often not a good measure of "productivity." He cited the following article. In much the same way, the current definition ...
