Reply to Which communities have you found where people are both smart about what AI is and isn't currently capable of, but where everyone in there is convinced we'll have AI soon that's smarter than 95% of humans at all computer based tasks within a few years? by TikkunCreation

Have you considered the possibility that you're wrong? That in a few years GPT-N won't be better at creating any piece of software better than all humans?

Reply to How much money saved is the ideal amount to withstand the transition from our economy now, through the period of mass AI-driven layoffs, to implemented UBI? by Xbot391

Depends on how early in the transition you lose your job and how long the transition is.

I think the transition could be anywhere between 5-20 years. Depending on how efficient and proactive a government is.

White collar jobs, except those at the very top of each field, will lose their jobs first. Or atleast start to make less.

Given this, you should have 5-20x your yearly expenses saved. Wealth in currency or assets may not be stable either. So really your only hope is that the government gets it's shit together

im not advocating for a "social society". Im just stating that although locally it might seem like we are in control of humanities future its actually in the control of a meta-intelligence composed of all intelligent agents that can be called the technocapital machine. Socialist societies have shown to not be effective vehicles for technocapital policies.

Both "parties" are tools of the neoliberal technocapital machine. Both "parties" have implemented similar economic policies at the federal level. The differences lie in the social policies which can always be influenced through propaganda. Look into the differences that the right or left in any country has done at a federal level and you'll notice that they implement the same economic policies.

Reply to comment by JacksCompleteLackOf in Chat-GPT 4 is here, one theory of the Singularity is things will accelerate exponentially, are there any signs of this yet and what should we be watching? by Arowx

Yes, I agree. The paper was fascinating - but a lot of people took away from that the idea that AGI is essentially here. When I read it I saw a couple of issues that may be a speed bump in progress. They definitely underplayed what seems to be a difficult problem to solve with the current paradigm.

>All of your hard work in life was for nothing. Accept it.

This is a strange opinion. Cars and all kinds of animals can move faster than any human being. Does that mean the hard work athletes put in to be the best version of themselves is for nothing?

History has shown us that when new technology emerges, activities and skills we previously used for survival often shift into different areas. With the advent of AGI, maybe many tasks and jobs could become automated, but this doesn't invalidate the hard work and achievements of individuals up to this point.

Instead, it should serve as an opportunity for us to adapt and evolve, focusing on the aspects of our lives that cannot be easily replicated by artificial intelligence – creativity, empathy, and personal growth. I believe we should embrace change and use it as a catalyst for further development, rather than seeing it as a reason to dismiss the value of our past efforts.
