The Singularity and why it is scary.

 Every day we are getting closer and closer to the singularity. Just Think about that for a minute, go ahead i'll wait!

...

Ok, that's enough! in a year where we don't have hoverboards yet (Damn it Steve!) we are getting close to the singularity. Now we all think that robot sentience is a good and equally scary thing, Right? Has any of you ever heard of Isaac Asimov's Laws? Well... If you haven't i'm going to break them down for you anyway! 

Right, now let's start with the first Law:

1.A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

Now there is a loophole here.  What Happens when a human being comes to harm through INACTION. Don't tell me though I haven't read 'I, Robot' But robots Probably AREN'T Speedy Gonzales! So we can take out "Through inaction." Now lets see what we have:

1.A robot may not injure a human being or allow a human being to come to harm.

Again there's ANOTHER loophole. Allow harm in WHAT WAY may I ask? What if a bowling ball on a shelf fell on a humans head, and the robot was in the next room? Since we know that robots aren't Speedy Gonzales at this point in time, we can take out "or allow a human being to come to harm" 

1.A robot may not injure a human being.

This still doesn't seem Right.

 1.A robot may not harm or injure a human being.

 That's Better!


Now We move on to the second law, knowing that the first law is now robotproof: 

2.A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

 This one actually works. NEXT!

3.A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

 NO. GET RID OF IT! Some iterations of these laws actually say that robots HAVE to protect humans. And even then this always conflicts with the second law, because what if the human ordered them to protect them, the human. That Breaks the second law. Plain and Simple.

Now authors other than Asimov have made some additional laws. Lets NOW break those down:
This one was Lyuben Dilov.
4. A robot must establish its identity as a robot in all cases.

 Now, what I would do is make the robot think it's not a robot. I would make it think it's human.This way, the first law is even more powerful because of how immoral it is to kill someone.

This one was Nikola Kesarovski.
5. A robot must know it is a robot.

This is sort of like Lyuben's one, just narrower. Lyuben's one was "all cases" while Nikola's was "one case." Same thing though, just make it think it's a human.


Now lets look at our laws Now:

1. a robot may not harm or injure, or even THINK of harming a human being.
2. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except when conflict with the first law.
3. a robot must think it is human in all cases, including knowing that it is a human.
4. a robot must not be able to think that it is a robot, even if someone or something tells the robot that it's a robot. 
5. a robot MUST refuse the fact that it is a robot, even if told that it is a robot.

Now let me scan over these once more.

...

Right! So we have five new or edited rules, that makes robot sentience WORK. However... you may notice that the fourth and fifth rules are completely new. This is meant to be a fail-safe, because sentience makes US ponder what we are, so why wouldn't robot sentience? Exactly WHY the fail-safe is there.

Now the next thing to do is work out the rules For COMPUTER sentience. Why? Because Virtual Reality is coming in, and really, before we figure out robot sentience, wouldn't it be better to have it worked out on computers first? 

The rules for VR are pretty much the same, except you replace robot with computer. Although since things in VR can't hurt your physical self, you should still have that first rule there. So that is the way to make it so there is no robot uprising. The word you are looking For is "Thank You."

Sorry Day, May the Twenty-Sixth,

Sorry Day is an national Australian Event where The Government and most Aussies, Says Sorry To all aborigines for the stolen generations. The stolen Generations Happened Between 1910 and 1970, and at least 100,000 aborigine children got taken away by police and welfare officers.   

Imagine This, having your children taken away from you, by a different race, and being forced to act like that different race and then being in foster homes OF that different race. You would NEVER be the same again. Now imagine BEING the child, not knowing who you are, where your real family are, HAVING TO CHANGE YOUR RELIGION and having to be the odd one out in your "family".

Now, imagine being the welfare officer, that is what some peoples ancestors are. now there's a lot of imagining going on here but now imagine if this happened TODAY.  pretty bad right? the good thing is it stopped in 1970.

the reason WE should be sorry is because some peoples ancestors stole and took these kids. WE should be sorry about the kids who never saw their real parents again. and WE should be for their parents.

Bullying, What is it, Why is it bad and Who should i tell?

For Bully Stoppers Day 2015




Bullying is a word that means (according to google):


verb

gerund or present participle: bullying

1. use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force them to do something.

 Today we're talking about bullying which can effect some children. The first type of bullying is physical bullying, but before i talk about that, I'm going to talk about why people bully in the first place.

There are a couple of possible reasons why people do it, one might be to feel more powerful than others, another one might be because they have  lots of stress, it could also be PEER PRESSURE. Peer pressure is when a person or a group of people want someone to follow a trend or order at the risk of being friends or not. An example of peer pressure is this sentence: "Punch this nice kid or i won't be your friend!" if you know someone that is under peer pressure you should either tell a teacher or help them with it.

OK, back to the types of bullying. Physical Bullying is when the person being bullied is getting hurt by punches or kicks etc. There's not much to this one really, it's getting punched/kicked! Maybe a wedgie or something' but other than that, just tell an adult! 

Bullying can prevent bystanders from reporting to adults and people about bullying, out of fear of the bully bouncing to you. You shouldn't be scared about this, always help other kids in danger!

The next one is Mental Bullying, mental bullying is when someone bullying you with insulting or upsetting thoughts. An Example of mental bullying is "Your dog died! HA HA HA!" THIS IS TERRIBLE AND IF YOU ARE BEING MENTALLY BULLIED YOU SHOULD TELL SOMEONE RIGHT AWAY!

The next one is Cyber Bullying, The worst one of all, this one is mental bullying but with a twist. it's online.
This type of bullying is so hard to track, most people get mentally hurt by it. The best way to deal with this type to just ignore it!

Even famous people and celebrities get hurt and harassed by this sort of bullying can effect EVERYONE and must be stopped at all costs.   


Some situations of bullying can include these:

Bully 1 punches kid 1, kid 1 cries, does nothing to stop it.

Bully 2 kicks kid 2, kid 2 tells his parents, which tell the teacher, which gets bully 2 in trouble,   

While Bully 1, still punches people.



Bully says "your mum's in hospital! HA!"  to kid 1, kid 2 just walks by, and kid 1 cries.

Bully says "your mum's in hospital! HA!" to kid 1, kid 2 goes in front of kid 1, asks bully to stop it, and kid 1 and kid 2 both tell a teacher.


Bully goes over the internet "YOU SUCK!", kid just ignores it.
