Computer scientists have overcome a major obstacle in the burgeoning artificial intelligence industry by showing it is possible to speed up deep learning technology without specialized acceleration hardware like graphics processing units (GPUs). “The flipside, compared to GPU, is that we require a big memory,” researchers said.

We define intelligence with relation to power.

Power to perform calculations.

Power to process data.

Power to draw conclusions.

But there is no conclusion which is not superceded by a next one.

There is no data which is not refuted by other.

There are no calculations that we do not cancel by performing new ones.

At the end we will create the most powerful computers.

And they will perform calculations we will not be able to understand.

Except for an old man.

Sitting by the river.

Understanding nothing…

And in the midst of a storm. The river will dry.

Spiros Kakos is a thinker located in Greece. He has been Chief Editor of Harmonia Philosophica since its inception. In the past he has worked as a senior technical advisor for many years. In his free time he develops software solutions and contributes to the open source community. He has also worked as a phD researcher in the Advanced Materials sector related to the PCB industry. He likes reading and writting, not only philosophy but also in general. He believes that science and religion are two sides of the same coin and is profoundly interested in Religion and Science philosophy. His philosophical work is mainly concentrated on an effort to free thinking of "logic" and reconcile all philosophical opinions under the umbrella of the "One" that Parmenides - one of the first thinkers - visualized. The "Harmonia Philosophica" articles program is the tool that will accomplish that. Life's purpose is to be defeated by greater things. And the most important things in life are illogical. We must fight the dogmatic belief in "logic" if we are to stay humans... Credo quia absurdum!
