The real reasons we don’t have AGI yet

As we noted in a recent post, physicist David Deutsch said the field of “artificial general intelligence” or AGI has made “no progress whatever during the entire six decades of its existence.” We asked Dr. Ben Goertzel, who introduced the term AGI and founded the AGI conference series, to respond. — Ed. Like so many others, I’ve been [...]

Why artificial general intelligence has failed and how to fix it

The field of “artificial general intelligence” or AGI has made no progress whatever during the entire six decades of its existence, says Oxford University physicist David Deutsch in this abridged version of an essay in aeon magazine. It is uncontroversial that the human brain has capabilities that are, in some respects, far superior to those of all other [...]

Unmanned Aircraft Update PA-01 Vapor Helicopter

More than a decade  of research, development, experience, and partnerships culminated in Pulse Aerospace’s PA-01 Vapor Electric Unmanned Helicopter System. ”" Pulse Aerospace’s vision was to offer a new age of defense/security/commercial use helicopter UAVs. The PA-01 Vapor delivers through ease of use and training, increased reliability, reduced restrictions for flight in poor weather conditions, and enhanced usability over any electric UAV helicopter today.

Customizable Solutions

”uavCompletely customizable ground control station (GCS) solutions are available. Typical GCS includes:

GCS Software License: Standard GCS software allows users to preplan missions via point-and-click functionality, modify and upload missions in real-time, and monitor critical systems.

GCS Computer: Standard and rugged laptop options are available. Alternatively, the GCS software works with any Windows-based machine, allowing users to install the software on their own hardware.

GCS Datalink: UHF, S-Band, and Iridium options available.

We offer customizable solutions for each component. Contact us today to discuss system options.

Interoperability

The systems have been used to interface with STANAG 4586 compliant systems. This allows for easy integration of our systems into existing ground control stations. Adding a Vapor VTOL UAS to your existing suite of unmanned systems requires minimal retraining or configuration.

The rise of the machines: and now the really bad news

Vice just posted an update to their “we’re living in a simulation“ interview with Dr. Rich Terrile of NASA JPL. “I think our machines will wake up and take over our society,” he said. “They will become us, we will become them. We’ll merge with machines. Take over? Now wait a minute there, rocket man…. “We have [...]
