Are We Close to A Skynet Takeover?
Experts at the prestigious University of Cambridge will conduct research into the "extinction-level risks" posed to humanity by artificially intelligent robots. The Cambridge Project for Existential Risk is dedicated to "ensuring that our own species has a long-term future" by studying the risks posed by AI, nanotechnology and biotechnology. "The scientists said that to dismiss concerns of a potential robot uprising would be "dangerous," reports the BBC. The project was co-founded by Huw Price, Bertrand Russell Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge, Martin Rees, Emeritus Professor of Cosmology Astrophysics at Cambridge, and Jaan Tallinn, the co-founder of Skype. It also counts amongst its advisers Max Tegmark, Professor of Physics, MIT and George M Church, Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. An article written by Tallinn and Price warns that artificially intelligent computers or robots could take over "the speed and direction of technological progress itself," and shape the environment of planet earth to their own ends while displaying about as much concern for humanity as we do for a bug on the windscreen. Far from being resigned to works as science fiction such as in the Terminator films, the threat posed by a potential future "rise of the robots" has never been closer to reality. The study echoes the predictions of respected author, inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, renowned for his deadly accurate technological forecasts. http://www.infowars.com ORDER THIS ...From:InfowarsHeadlineHDViews:277 7ratingsTime:08:55More inNonprofits Activism

Ceremony for the 100000th rice-breeding cross, a major milestone in IRRI #39;s 52-year history
Also see: youtu.be On 29 November 2012, the IRRI community celebrated the 100000th rice breeding cross at IRRI, a true milestone in the Institute #39;s 52-year history existence. The parents for the 100000th cross were IR09M105 and NSICRC 214.The objective of this particular cross was to improve eating quality. Making opening comments at the event were Eero Nissila, head of Plant Breeding, Genetics and Biotechnology at IRRI -www.irri.org - and Glenn Gregorio, senior scientist/plant breeder - http://www.irri.org Special guest at the event was Rizal M. Herrera (see 1:38 and 8:13 into video), who was among the first breeders to make crosses at IRRI in the early 1960s - upcagolden2010.wordpress.com - Mr. Herrera arrived at IRRI in 1961 as a research aide and retired 36 years later in 1997 as a senior assistant scientist. Below is his poem-essay about how, in rice breeding, marriage respects no boundaries. Marriage Respects No Boundaries by Rizal M. Herrera IRRI rice breeder, 1961-97 Innocent-looking rice plants also engage in courtship and marriage practices. The rites are simple, devoid of elegant, expensive entourage, and there are no high government officials in flashy cars acting as principal sponsors. The bride, the superstar of the occasion, is not in the usual wedding gown attraction. She is not clad in almost see-through Pitoy #39;s creation from veil to trailings. She is simply a dark green rice plant with flowers stripped off its anthers, the male counterpart of the species. When ...From:irrivideoViews:12 1ratingsTime:10:26More inEducation
