The absolute state of AI results.

Ain't no way we're seeing real AI/AGI in our lifetime.

As an undergraduate I always wondered - why the hell don't we start by trying to recreate basic artificial life? Our brains, the most complex organs on the planet Earth , are the result of billions of years of evolution. But as humans, we have the hubris to be like "Yeah, I can build that on some GPUs"

Instead, we get auto-complete with bells and whistles, that fools lay people by being branded as artificial "intelligence." Tech bros impress their hedge fund investors at cocktail parties by claiming this and that about what kind of breakthroughs their company has made and what is in the near horizon. It's all bogus. We don't even have a full comprehension of how our brains work, yet we're trying to recreate it with circuitry and algorithms.

The scene: 20 years from now. Tech conference. "We have done it - we have created the first true AGI. Let us introduce: Chad."

And it's just some average intelligence guy. Turns out we were smarter than AI the whole time.

we'll have Chad and Stacy in our lifetime for sure. feels like there isn't actually a lot going on up there to emulate

creating something that creates on par / better than our greatest minds, yeah i'm with ya on that, ain't happening in the fields of art or hard sciences

but a scaled up fancy auto complete will be/is better than the vast majority of us, myself obviously included at like 98+% of tasks that actually matter

AGI is here already, our pleeb asses don't have the social rank to be able to access that level of power consumption.

But a few people who are a higher rank already have access to AGI and likely ASI.

We're using the toy.

They're using the engine.

It really is a simple matter of being able to have the power to parse everything ever written during a search, or to parse what the system can handle right now.

When we ask AI a question, it searches through a handful of random web pages, and a fraction of its trained data to give us answers.

When they ask AI a question, it searches through millions of web pages, and all of its training data.

The fact that AI can do that alone is basically AGI.

Therefore like i have said.
A.I isnt for the betterment of us, it is so the billionaires are better able to screw us.
You didn't like it when i first said it.
Now you are begining to get it.

Lulz.

Also. When a certain Elmo questions his A.I and it gives him an answer he doesnt like he says.
Sorry people, ill try to manipulate this grok-a-majig to supply answers we want to hear.
What a douche.
Power of the sun in his hands and he lights up inside his pants to make a puppet show for incels.

The difference between me and you is I don't want to stop it because Im having an existential crisis over it.

Did inventing medicine cure everyone on earth at once? Nope.

You're basically like, "we shouldn't have medicine because the rich will use it to cure themselves and then they will control us!"

[Duik]

Nope. Im just more aware that we wont get anything more than scraps that can make elf boobs or what does this code do.

We will be royally screwed by the use of it. Not the A.I itaelf, the douche canoes that own it.

Like atomic power. Could be powering everything. Instead certain folks thort hey i can blow shit the fuck up wiff dat there tech.

So again. I said this ages ago. A.I is good to discern skin cancers in photo scans. Sorting large lists of data. Elf boobs.
We get the Costco version.
The difference is Im aware. You are not.

we should stop while were ahead

Oh will we be screwed? Like all the people getting healthcare around the world?

Socialized medicine is the largest industry in the world.

Don't be such a skeptic, the vast majority history proves all the pessimists wrong.

I actually don't agree, because the same thing can be said again about healthcare.

"We can divert energy into healing all the sick with what we have now, and wont be risking inventing a new pandemic that kills everyone."

In fact, they said that about nuclear power and what did we get out of it? The same people who stopped nuclear power discovering we're past the point of stopping the alternative from killing the planet.

Build until the builders can leave the naysayers of this planet behind.

A yank like you should never mention healthcare ever.
You have literally no skin in that game.
You are clueless about decent healthcare.
Also what does that have to do with it?
A.I in the US and A has already been used to remotely and automatically fuck people over. So sure, good example dimwit.

Power/water consumption is already OTT for A.I.
What do you, the non billionaire think the gubbaments (who get moneyz from billionaires) are gonna prioritize for water/power usage?
Think careful. The answer is happening right now.
A benevolent actor may change things.
History shows us that is unlikely.
Ironman, unfortunnately turned into Cryin'man.

California has been trying to steal our water since the 20s if not earlier. That's my bet. After all, the water from the PNW just flows into the Pacific Ocean.
