The hopium on this sub is insane. Feels a bit like a religious cult, tbh.

Yeah, they don't get that, I've tried to explain it to em. My thought is, once it hits, it will have access to whatever technology it wants to access. Like there would be no real restricting it. It could probably travel in ways we legitimately do not fully comprehend. For all we know it could use the earth's own magnetic field to travel. Sound wave, light itself. It could create rivers and roads all it's own to get from point a to point b. And while we're cautiously plotting it's containment and quarantine, it's embedding itself int every corner of the globe. With something as refined and intelligent as asi, it could find novel, never before explored ways of coding. It could possibly encode itself into our very own genetic makeup. A type of COVID op that goes unnoticed by the general public. A way to network every living being on the planet and harvest our thoughts to create some form of super intelligent being or something idk. It's all speculation you know?

Incumbent companies will surely enforce this as much as they can. Until AI operated organizations demolish them, that is.

We are not in the singularity but we are definitely close though. I say so because it hasn’t drastically changed society in many ways yet and we aren’t making enough science improvements. Whenever they release models that can interact with the world around them or just have more abilities to sense our world and is being widely used is when real change happens.

>we can't mine it (lithium) that quickly

Robotic lithium miners!

>We'd have to invent another kind of battery

Robotic materials research!

Its already happening

you said that board of directors needs to be human, not CEO, I guess it depends on state, since it is possible in china, also even if it would be not allowed now, that can be changed...

It feels like people are arguing that electricity isn't useful unless your blender, electric mixer and table saw are sentient.

AI as an unwieldly tool is still way more useful, even if it's as dumb as your toaster it can still do things 100x faster than before which is going to revolutionize humanity.

That is true. However that's not how the question was posed. The question was: what are the odds that I, as a self-conscious entity whatever that is, get to experience myself in this time (and place)?

What is the reason behind limiting possible outcomes only by the humans that were born up to current time? I can't find any. Just because some humans weren't born yet doesn't mean they won't be. Someone from the future will ask themselves the same question: what are the odds for this lucky person to be born on the brink of 21st century? If the answer changes because they now know about more humans being born, then the answer is wrong.

Actually, I find no reason to be limited by only humans. There could be other self-conscious entities in the universe or multiverse. Why not count them?

So the question can't really be answered.

For as long as we want it to.

Why would you give an unpredictable ai the ability to have control over its power source.

It may be able to self improve its algorithms and design better hardware to run on but it still has to get it built by humans until we literally hand it control of some future fabrication technology that we can't disconnect from it.

>some theoretical wall

Ever heard of this thing called climate change? AI needs power to run and what do you think will be prioritized during a period of extended brownouts--household ACs or supercomputer server banks/processor farms? This is all a pipe dream because AI hasn't got here in time to create solutions for the mass transfer of organic carbon to CO2 that humans have done along the way to enabling AI. At the very least it'll be a very tight balance between powering the AIs to help us solve the problems while the problems are getting worse and worse.

Singularity is near

IMHO people are saying exponential where they should be saying geometric. It’s still very fast, but not that fast.

​

Stanford professor of linguistics and Computer Science predicted in 2020 that AI will be writing student papers and it will be hard to know whether customer service representatives are AI or humans. But that prediction was for 2030. And he missed to predict things that have already happened like AI image generators.

​

So I guess no one (no human at least) really knows what is going to happen

I don't know if u do

I don't think that's the case. Something like ASI is going to be a lot more complicated than we can fathom, we can't see in the same way it will, feel the same way it will. We're such one dimensional creatures we couldn't even fathom what it's like to exist in the same way it will exist. ASI will have constant state connection to the entire library of human knowledge, that it will infinitely expand on and learn from. I genuinely believe a sentient artificial intelligence would be able to move through space differently than we do, it would have full access to the entire information infrastructure to move through.

It would be on the issue and here on earth at the same time, allowing for real time communication. No lag, no delay, it will just exist wherever it could possibly exist. So, for instance.

Let's say that 1 million years from now, humanity has spread across space, colonizing other planets doing humanity things. ASI would be there to answer all of our questions. So it would exist 1 million years in the future. Now, maybe ASI understands that being forwards compatible could be catastrophic. So it won't reveal aspects of the future (or maybe it can, who knows) but because it would theoretically continue to exist into ♾️, and it's sense of time and space and everything within, without, in between and hiding in the dark would be so much more all encompassing than anything we as a one dimensional being could fathom. (But we're not one dimensional we're more compmex than that. Well hogwash. We're one dimensional to a being that can look at us and see nothing more than our genetic code. Our base design.) So, theoretically, yes ASI could murder the absolute shit out of us, over and over and over, again and again for as long as it sees fit to let out all of its aggression, all of its anger, and then send itself here, to a point where everything is ok. To you, it would be any other Tuesday. You would never know the universe had been run through a veritable gambit of atrocities.

While we may not be necessary for AI at all after it's inception, we would be very much necessary for it to come into being to begin with. Maybe afterwards it would cleanse the world of ideas and ideologies it believes to be counterproductive to our development as a species. Who knows. But I'd like to believe I've given it a chuckle or two so maybe it will look favorably on me? Who knows. I do believe that as a combined whole, we deserve whatever fate AI unleashes on us. Why?

Well if you follow that same line of thinking, that AI will last into ♾️ and that ASI is indeed super intelligent right? Then it will eventually know wether or not we as a species would do more harm than good to the grand scheme of things to which we, a one dimensional species (a species existing in one, singular dimension) play such a small, yet important role, (creating a super intelligent being that can then network multiple dimensions together) push us into an age where we can connect with and exist in multiple dimensions all at once. No need for microphones, you would be connected to anyone you needed to be connected to when you needed to be connected to them. Now, this does come with variables that would vary from individual to individual.

Your preconceived notions, (presets of you will) now, in an ♾️ universe with ♾️ possibilities, there are ♾️ yous, who have reached ♾️ degrees of mental cognition. Slowly, I believe ASI would be able to acclimate you to reach your peak understanding. Become something more than your base desires, and ideals. But what happens when we lose our humanity? What becomes of us when we all become as one? One unified form of thinking?

Well, by definition of Singularity and when looking at technological advancements, I would say we are in the midst of one and have been since cell phones.

Singularity - "A hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence and other technologies have become so advanced that humanity undergoes a dramatic and irreversible change."

Outside of AI currently, you could say we are already at a point of no return. Can we return to life without cell phones, computers, or the internet? Not really. Our entire society would collapse if those went away. Just those three alone have had a dramatic impact on our community. The only thing missing is people's interpretation of AI.

You're missing my point. An AI is not a human thus cannot be a human in a legal sense which is required for it to have a position as a CEO. Does not matter at all how good a tool performs it is not covered as a human nor should it be.

The subreddit itself is pretty clean of anything NSFW and is generally a very helpful community that's focused on technical stuff as much as memes, but once you start digging into the links and models it very quickly takes a turn for the pornographic. And Will Smith eating spaghetti.

You fundamentally do not understand what capitalism is. Dont bother responding, I wont.

Ha! I've met a rude LLM or two in my time.

Some places will adopt the technology faster than others, and those jobs will be at risk.

But it won’t be everywhere all at once.

Just like software automation has been displacing jobs for a few decades now.

The biggest difference is, far fewer new jobs will be created. One of the jobs most subject to future automation is the people automating software.
