Just to add my two cents, the article you cited by Kurzweil has had a bigger impact on my world view than anything else I’ve read before or since. I read it in 2003 and still I’m convinced it is a sound theory.

I’m curious if anyone else who read it has began to have doubts since?

If it's a publicly traded company, and they don't have to pay a CEO anymore and return that money to share holders, you better believe they will be fired.

Yeah - well, sci-fi vibes indeed.

Shit, taking out the every man except the one that matters....

You!

Everything is going to undergo a revolution. I'm very excited about it all. Now a person's imagination won't be gate kept by people with money.

I like it, but would have been better if it was powered by GPT-4 and not GPT-3.5

It just showed up because I didn't know this was the plug-in part i was waiting for I was expecting something different I guess. I saw it last night on my account for the first time and was just messing with some old homework to see if it got better with code, and it did. It basically just wrote and ran its program within the chat. I think it makes it much cleaner too. Now I will have to play with more of the actual plug-in part.

Edit: My bad, this is different from what I just got yesterday. It was just code interpretation that lets you download now. My bad.

Time to take out the middle man.

The guys on the streets in cyberpunk with the brain dance and certain associated attachments come to mind. Its like a holodeck but you never leave the couch.

FYI GPT-4 is already at human level commmon sense and above average intelligence(compared to human)

for example benchmark https://rowanzellers.com/hellaswag/

both humans and GPT-4 score around 95

if AGI get access to company databases it should get that "Company wide knowledge"

A lot of money is in software, most startups as well as companies with high market caps are in tech, there aren’t even enough programmers for the demand. Ai will make them much more productive.

It doesn’t need to affect every industry immediately to produce a lot of money and competition.

Adobe, google, unity and soon many more come with their own ai products to be not left behind.

The manufacturing and transport industry etc isn’t even really important to accelerate towards agi because computer scientists and programmers are the biggest contributors which are in the tech industry.

We also don’t need asi or replicators just robots who dig everything up, manufacture and transport it which needs agi. At that point there will be no real economy anymore.

Really weird how you talk about money in an age of agi/asi.

It's not happening yet. There's accelerating growth due to increased interest and understanding from humans seeing what this stuff can do, but the exponential growth associated with a true singularity will come from the AI being capable of improving itself much better than humans can. The AI improves itself, gets better at improving itself due to the improvements, improves itself even more, and so on recursively.

The capability of AI in computer programming right now is impressive, but it's not at the level of understanding really complex programs (like itself) well enough to debug them, let alone reason about how to improve them. AI is scary good at one-off programming puzzles that are easily to fully and briefly specify, but that's a very different task from understanding how all the parts of a large, complex program work together and coming up with novel ideas to rearrange them to serve some over-arching goal.

I think some of the recursive self-improvement will begin with some combination of human and machine intelligence, but right now the AI is really just a time-saver to make human coders somewhat more efficient, rather than something that greatly expands their capabilities.

A missing piece indeed! I'll incorporate it to the architecture

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_schema_theory

I’d recommend reading about this, and possibly reading Graziano’s book “rethinking consciousness”

Attention is something that all AI seems to currently lack. They just wait for an input and provide an output. Attention generates a simplified model of both the external and internal world.

“The AST can be summarized in three broad points.[1] First, the brain is an information-processing device. Second, it has a capacity to focus its processing resources more on some signals than on others. That focus may be on select, incoming sensory signals, or it may be on internal information such as specific, recalled memories. That ability to process select information in a focused manner is sometimes called attention. Third, the brain not only uses the process of attention, but it also builds a set of information, or a representation, descriptive of attention. That representation, or internal model, is the attention schema.

In the theory, the attention schema provides the requisite information that allows the machine to make claims about consciousness. When the machine claims to be conscious of thing X – when it claims that it has a subjective awareness, or a mental possession, of thing X – the machine is using higher cognition to access an attention schema, and reporting the information therein.”

Idk how to make a quote on reddit.

did you get an email for this or did it just show up

You short-sighted fuckboy that is buying into their dream. Of course you dont align perfectly with them but you rely entirely on their products for your future happiness.

Finally no longer constrained to the 2021 training data set

this is your projection/assumption that i worship my capitalist overlords while i don't give 2 fucks about human constructs lol

Humans are vulnerable to thinking they are living in special times. Eschatology is the word for it.

I'm old and was raised on the dreams of scifi in the 60s. I've always thought we might get to a singularity one day, possibly in my lifetime, but I've never thought we are on the cusp of it until now.

I broke my rules and am returning. It matters a lot because people like you will just vote the way your capitalist overlords tell you to. It also matters because its objectively not true. Look up your history. Learn something instead of being a useful idiot for the rich

seems like someone is getting a little defensive lol. relax man, it's just dumb societal constructs that monkeys made up. who cares what is the definition of capitalism, common sense easily tells you what happens among monkeys when everyone wants something that is scarce than others.

>Half the decisions made at large organizations are wrong. There’s plenty of literature on c-suite decision-failures. This means there is room for improvement

GPT-4 would be very prone to hallucinate "wrong" answers as well.

Stockholders want somebody to be able to fire.

I tell people some crazy shit is gonna happen, but you might have some diseases cured.

It's not even as smart as a toddler, as it doesn't have sentience or a mind. If it were a general intelligence, then it should be capable of having a sentience or a mind.

Well, I don't want to be rude to someone that has been polite to me, it's just... this "We're currently in an AI winter" is about as credible as a Flat Earth argument. I don't really see the need to dig deeply into a viewpoint that's transparently ludicrous, any more than I would research Moon landing conspiracy theories or watch an hour long video about why Barack Obama was assassinated in 2011 and replaced by a robot that was created by the child of John Wayne Gacy and Abraham Lincoln.

Ohh I've made some embarrassing comments because I thought I was in a different sub. Your points are still valid.
