Most visions of this singularity focus on the creation of machines intelligent enough to devise machines even more intelligent than themselves, and so forth recursively, thus launching a positive feedback loop of intelligence amplification.
In doing so, they seek to understand how real roots work and also to devise machines that might monitor soil pollution, prospect for minerals and look for water.In this section Small but deadly A la recherche du temps inconnu Mostly harmless Putting down roots Lunacy?
Some scholars have argued that Archytas devised machines of war (Diels 1965; Cambiano 1998), as Archimedes did later, but this conclusion is based on questionable inferences and no ancient source ascribes such machines to Archytas.
Both Sonos and Apple have devised machines with lots of bassy power, rich and clear vocals and spatial clarity, where you can hear where the different instruments, say, are being played.
Google said it had already devised machine-learning algorithms that work inside the quantum computer, which is made by D-Wave Systems of Burnaby, British Columbia.
Turing set about devising a machine that would automate the search for logical consistency, eliminating contradictory chains rapidly enough for the code-breakers to deduce that day's Enigma settings before the intelligence became stale.
Devising a machine that can pack the same wallop as a magnitude-8.0 earthquake or a category-5 hurricane isn't easy, or cheap.
Saria, who joined Johns Hopkins in 2012, leads a team that is devising a machine-learning system to spot telltale patterns in vast quantities of patient information that hospitals compile as a matter of routine including clinical history, vital signs, laboratory tests.
Others devised similar machines.
