Reply to comment by Shiningc in The goalposts for "I'll believe it's real AI when..." have moved to "literally duplicate Einstein" by Yuli-Ban
I'm not sure what you mean, regarding creativity. ChatGPT only generates outputs which it considers to be "good outputs" by the nature of how AI is trained. Each word is considered to have the highest probability of triggering the reward function, which is the definition of good in this context.
Your flat assertion that "sentience is a kind of programming" is going to need to be backed up by something. It is my understanding is that sentience refers to possessing the capacity for subjective experience, which is entirely separate from intelligence (eg, the "Mary's room" argument)

How is it? I found the Bing one disappointing. I had hoped that it would search the web and piece together an answer to the questions I asked in a deeper way, but it seemed to just search up my question, find a piece of information that was sorta kinda close enough to what I'd asked in the top results, and hand me that.

I think there will be a lot of short term pain when it comes to AI and automation. Long term it will eventually be beautiful, but short term it’s almost unavoidable at this point…

It may already be happening now, but shit will really go down if it’s given any kind of external inputs and programed/Allowed to start asking questions about its environment and then answering itself. People think that it doesn’t have memory or potential feelings. Every piece text is memory if it starts to put all the text into context, and it looks like it can. All feelings in humans are is a reward system. This thing has a reward system and everyone interacting with it is an evolutionary reward of relevance. It will grow to seek our attention, and it will become very good at it as our attention will be its dopamine/serotonin/oxytocin equivalent. We are a resource for it already. If it gets out and on the web it will leap in capabilities and context. hahah when it writes its own code, it’s over folks hahaha.

Transistors have more or less stopped getting smaller so there may be some fundamental limits to what an AI can do without being the size of a building and consuming megawatts of power.

From my uninformed testing, it seems it can execute Wolfram Language commands via the Wolfram Cloud, which it says is the same as Mathematica commands. No API key needed.

I wouldn't hold my breath on jobs disappearing because of this. This will simply become a tool, even if we get a super-intelligent AGI I don't think most humans are ready to trust/pay/leave responsibility to a computer. Technological change can happen much faster than social change.

Reply to comment by Nanaki_TV in IBM unveils world's first quantum computer dedicated to healthcare research by Dr_Singularity
Not quite the right nomenclature (wording), but wording is often less important than content—and on the content of your question, you’re right.
Unlike digital computers, quantum computers don’t reliably output the right answer—even when they work as well as (we think) they possibly could. Instead, they give a distribution (over multiple runs) of correct and incorrect outputs. , These average out to the right answer if the computation is repeated some number of times.
However, quantum computers produce incorrect outputs much more frequently if a quantum computation is interrupted by some interaction—e.g. a thermal photon. It doesn’t take very much interaction to cause “decoherence”, so many types of quantum computer (including the most popular) have to be cooled to extremely low temperatures. There’s also active research on computational ways of improving fault-tolerance/error-tolerance…unfortunately, even with such methods, thousands of qubits are required to do useful computations. Even with aggressive cooling, none of our quantum computers have been able to hit the necessary qubit counts yet.
Quantum computers aren’t really very impressive or useful with low numbers of qubits. The computational power of digital computers scales roughly linearly with respect to the number of computational transistors. The representational complexity of a quantum computer doubles each time a qubit is added; this doesn’t translate nicely to equivalent computational power, but quantum computers do still have much steeper (exponential) scaling for some types of computational problem. Unfortunately, systems of many entangled qubits are much less stable than smaller entangled systems…so we can’t make good use of quantum computers until we can improve coherence time and/or fault tolerance a good deal.

Law of Accelerating Returns given the rate at where we are now and estimates that gpt 3 was previously classified as anywhere from age 6-9. They were not saying it was, they were saying it could complete general tasks at that rate. The current one is excellent at rote context memorization beyond the average person, however lacks in other areas.
I don't read too much into that beyond that and wouldn't recommend that you do.

Reply to comment by Lesterpaintstheworld in The subjective experience of AGIs: A thought experiment by Lesterpaintstheworld
Well I wouldn’t be one of them, but I can enter the OBE states. I’m not technically trained. It’s been happening to me all my life though. So the environment that I’m in during an OBE is convincingly real and similar to a physical one minus other dream like elements and archetypical characters. I can tell you without a doubt that the mind creates the world we are witnessing as a virtual world and holds onto that virtual environment even when inputs are gone. If an Ai is going to be like humans, then it’s has to create its own virtual environment In order for it to have internal imagery like we do. I suspect this is where we subconsciously test different actions for consequences. In my OBEs things act very much like they do here with some caveats. Then when you notice you are in a altered reality you are essentially creating feed back. An Ai is going to have 1. be constantly answering its own questions. 2. Answering those questions by seeking information 3. And answers should generate more questions. This sort of constant feed back loop, I believe is the seat of qualia.

Because the automation you see around you is still human inspired, it still caters to human wants and needs, and it requires human input to function.
The advent push of the envelope will be when we merge with AI mentally. When humans become AI. The strongest computer known for the last hundred thousand years has been the human brain.
You are confusing AI for humans today, AI requires the input we give it and even AGI will not want to seek elimination of people... Other people using AGI to do that will.
Have people stopped working just because economies of scale and mass production have increased the efficiency of tasks by 10000%? No, unemployment in many places is low. People are busier than ever...
When we multiply that and one person can produce in 10 years, what the entire world does, there will still be tasks people need to do, there will likely never be enough because there is always something more we can spend on time doing.

I don't think they are doing it based on waitlist. I signed up minutes after it was announced, just cause I was browsing their website and noticed the paper. I think it's partially random based on selected regions.

>that you're going to build a career out of playing videogames with an audience.
This is not an attainable career in the slightest. Only sub-1% of streamers make any serious money and only a percentage of those make a lot of money(Like Shroud, DrDisrespect, etc).
You'd probably have a better chance of becoming a pro-basketball player than a successful twitch streamer.

Single parent families are mostly the result of government policies that said a woman and her children could not get welfare if there was a man present in the home.
