Using scraped data for research does not violate copyright laws. Monetizing it as a product for the public does. Most of the work done by Meta , Google , nvidia and other big tech arent even available for public use let alone monetized for public use. But yeah sure whatever u say! I’ve realized people on this sub who have no real knowhow about ML/DL and about laws/legal consequences are the ones that are the loudest.

Have a good day.

I hope 10% survive. The skies are dark for a reason, and at our current level of knowledge it looks suspiciously easy for a lot of humans to become immortal and grab most of the universe. The remaining problems all look solvable in a reasonable (years to decades) amount of time if you have a superintelligence to handle the details.

Reply to When will you talk more to A.I. than to other humans? by Terminator857

If ChatGPT used a speech to text API like whisper, and used the latest text to speech API's, which sound like real people, I could see people talking to it like an assistant all day long.

Many people will still use it, but making it hands free makes it even more convenient and I could see even more people using it.

This sort of gets into weird territory. If you discovered that every night when you are deep asleep in a split second your entire body is vaporized and then an exact copy was rebuilt into the same state that it was before, would you consider the person who wakes up to be you?

Well this is definitely me, maybe not the other guy that they thought they booted up, but me being me is the only thing I can know.

Maybe…

I wouldn't say that. Based on TwoMinutePapers, they have made some remarkable advancements in AI R&D. The difference is, they didn't release a prototype to the public.

I think the big pitfalls they want/need to avoid are confident incorrectness (ChatGPT is lovely except when it confidently says nonsense) and advertiser comfort (they are a business after all). Clearly they don't have a market-ready product. But I wouldn't write them off.

Obviously, though, competition is unambiguously good.

The problem is natural selection: you can't introduce this level of technology and expect we'll just all get to enjoy it without any issues. Industrialization led to two World Wars, and nuclear technology led to nuclear bombs, which could still destroy us all before we get to the Singularity.

It's why I believe 90% of people will not survive long enough to see this happen, because it would be too easy.

I think the bigger factor here is that research prototypes aren't typically released to the public. Companies that have released public betas have done so after numerous iterations behind closed doors. These are things that are not public by default. I'm going to get pushback saying this but I don't know why people feel entitled to freely test out R&D prototypes.

ChatGPT has been the exception, not the rule.

why only in virtual reality? If an ASI really likes humans, and/or we humans follow the development of an ASI closely, I believe that many humans would REALLY try to bring people back, in ways we can't even predict

the blockchain hype sucked a lot of money to that scammy, non-productive blockchain eco system. its partially to blame. had that money been to AI, world would be much more different.

just think about that FTX scam, how much billions could have gone to AI instead of funding the lifestyle of that scammer and his acomplices?

the blockchain hype also caused GPU price to skyrocket, causing AI development, which also use GPUs, to starve due to way more expensive GPU price as well as often non-existant stock due to miners robbing all the supplies
