Mercy, life is passing me by it seems.

I shared I retired from Boeing earlier this year and went back to my old gig part time, building homes on the island, plumbing.
I was on a job today that had been under construction for 2 years.
I can’t say who owns it, but mercy, the money being spent boggles my mind.
This place is so high tech that you use your phone to turn on lights, features, etc....
I know my wife has that Alexis, or whatever it’s called, but this is a million times more than that....
The computer vault room looks like something of spaceship, I kid you not....
Man, and I still can’t figger out our “smart TV’s”
Oh well, I do have a pretty good grasp on the phrase, “keep it simple stupid”.....
I don’t think I will push my luck beyond that  

I don't own a cell phone

I think the term is PED, or personal electronic device that you wear as a watch.....
This thing is talking the whole time to the "mother board" or central commander of AI, while in the house, etc.

It can read your blood pressure, heartbeat, location, EVERYTHING.....

The room of racks, a vault, holding the supporting equipment is honestly mind boggling.....
I can't help but think of Rod Serling asking me the question as I gaze upon this scene....."And everyone thought the show was Sci-Fi" with a giant grin upon his face......

The shear size of this house is just crazy.
A wall, like a butlers pantry, houses crystal drinking vessels (cups, etc.)
That is 40 feet long, by 15 feet high, with two sliding custom made ladders on tracks that allow you access to the higher shelving, WHICH, is all behind motored glass doors that move out of the way for you when you need to reach in and grab your favorite beer stein  

You guys, its just crazy.....
I better not say too much more.
The $$$$$ came from the medical field, as I am told  
And this is just one house of many.
One in Hawaii is suppose to be even more crazy, tho I can't imagine unless it is built inside a volcano  

I'm telling you guys, that "city" I posted about here: http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1541256621

Is real.

You already have big tech companies gobbling up land in the area.
Its going to happen period, with or without us.
When I saw where Boeing was going with robotics and automation based on AI and other computer sciences, you gotta believe the future is ripe with change.

The only question remaining in my mind is will we "invent" our master?  

I know lots of you youngin's are more comfortable with this stuff, and I must appear as the old coot I am, but I just get this weird feeling that one of these days we will solve that mathematical formula of how all of this energy mass is holding together, and why.......
And man will discover within that answer, WE are NOT part of the calculations    

I mean most of the "artificial" calamities on earth include the hand of man, one way or the other.....
He is LIMITED in his ability by mere physical limitations, and constrained by "time" itself, to achieve everlasting results of his endeavors.....
A "robot" will not have the same constraints, and if given enough AI, it might very well design its own immortality and dominance over any threat into its existence based NOT on emotions, or call it free will morality, NO......
It will be based on purely a equation that ensures the GREATEST success to why the program was developed to begin with.....

Anybody with me, or is it time for the white jacket with the cool straps and buckles in the back

There are hopefully some out there (like heirloom seeds) for when the high-tech quits teching

You should read the article in Popular science this month about  AI safety concerns ,there is a lot of people worried about AI ruining the future of humans .
        It will kill me to think that Arnold Schwarzenegger may be remembered as saying the three scariest words ever heard by humans,

                           "I'll be back"

                       

The quote at the bottom of your reply "Sure I can be civil ,right after I destroy you" maybe the same logic AI applies to us some day. that's the point.
