With a few examples, the model can generate a dataset and fine-tune itself to perform the task without examples.

I'm not saying it is a clear path to AGI, but it's definitely not obvious where this technology will lead to when progressed further.

"Low-level artists will suffer" then how do they ever become a higher-level if there's no opportunity for experience in real world jobs? I didn't read the whole post, but your TLDR makes it seem like OP has an overly hopeful view of the future for artists. I hope he's right but I'm not confident.

It might be a J curve. The first and the last one.

There have also been critiques of diamondoid nanomachines. For example from Richard Jones author of Soft Machines: Nanotechnology and Life.

In any case it is not like we need mechanical diamondoid arms to fix cells. Cells recycle individual molecular machines and organic molecular machines are capable enough to edit genes and fix dna.

Besides outside the brain you can carry wholesale cellular replacement and even wholesale tissue and organ replacement.

Also the diamondoid machines are likely highly susceptible to some types of radiation. A cosmic ray dislodging an atom will like gum up the gears. In space which is a high radiation environment the diamondoids are likely to breakdown by the millions.

I think they could work on specialized vacuum environment but like Jones I also suspect theyd have problems in environments like inside the human body.

In any case it is likely unevolvable molecular machines through advanced synthetic biology are just as capable if not even more capable than the theorized diamondoid machines.

Relativity. New inovations of invention may have been lacking to you but technology moved at a dizzy pace since 2013 to 2023.

Op, if you had a let's say 5MB plain text file (so way more than just a few paragraphs of text) and want to generate an audiobook out of it (spoken by a voice sounding as natural as possible) what free tools (apps or web services) would you currently reccommend? You seem to be very familiar with latest news in this kind of generative AI.

Same here.

See https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9907009 — it’s almost completely certain that the human brain is a classical system.

Yes but it is not like cells arent mechanical in nature. A cell is filled with molecular machines and with advanced synthetic biology it is possible to design the unevolvable.

For example cells can secrete proteins to nanostructure 3d inorganic substrates with unique properties, but nature only makes limited use of such. Humans can engineer novel proteins to create novel nanostructures for arbitrary purposes.

Of course they hire outside of the US. It is way cheaper.

This is the second time this week that someone is intimating something big happening in March 2023. Is this Mayan 2012 all over again?

Nothing ever happens.

I pay good money to shitpost on Reddit, so when I'm not getting my money's worth, it's the other commentors' fault.

Instincts aren’t irrational. They are a temporal latent variables that are indicative or are a premonition of one possible future. Instincts are derived based on past experiences which have trained your model. Current neural nets aren’t temporal nor do they do online learning. But that will change.

You say instincts are irrational. Many people trust their instincts because they are pretty accurate for them. If it’s irrational, that’s likely because it’s a poorly trained (human) neural model.

I personally think AI brings an amazing new element to artistic endeavors. A whole new world of possibilities is open, and human artists can utilize aspects of AI to make things that are brand new. Art may be wholly different from the way we know it today. Midjourney has absolutely blown my mind.

B. With a better back hips etc. and immortal seems like the best option.

It’s self perception.

It’s just a slightly different version of I think, therefore I am.

I think AI could eventually get us to the point where we have MORE handmade items, if we desire, and build a more efficient system where we could access the creativity of people. By "people" I include both humans and future sentient AI (I'm imagining this point would be post 2030s/2040s)

Consumption of creative works is for entertainment, but another aspect is communication. Sometimes we purely want to be entertained, but other times we want to connect with the creators and see into their minds. I believe this will remain the case.

There will be an overload of content, from quickly generated content and (hopefully) also from creative people who will have more opportunities to express themselves. So, there might be changes to the system of how it's consumed, how people share content, how people make a living, how works can be relevant or become famous on a massive scale. I can't predict exactly what will happen, but I can imagine new systems coming into place, as they always have....and there might be a chaotic adjustment period if AI progresses faster than a new system can be brought into place. The adjustment period is likely to see hostility and opposition, especially from shortsighted people.

Based on what we're already seeing with AI art generators, there will be some who embrace new technology and others who resist, especially those who resist out of ignorance.

One way of thinking that might help is knowing that it is a very real possibility that death is an unavoidable part of this universe.

Heat death might just be a slowly approaching doom for all free energy including any singularity. Would that make your time here any less meaningful? Same goes for dying before any life prolonging tech gets created.

Copyright infringement by AI training will probably be decided before the music industry even has a chance in the class action lawsuit brought by visual artists against Stability AI.

I was going to do this before coming to the comments to see someone already had. Thank you.

There's only so much need for individual consciousnesses. Every upload needs to warrant the cost of storage and operation, no matter how insignificant.

And I think a shared biological/digital consciousness is the way to go to transfer legacy humans to digital ones, probably with cyborg upgrades. You can use an old drive as a backup until it fails, and just upgrade to a new one when it does.

How is it they're going to crash and burn when they've already revolutionized industries such as programming, content creation/writing, etc? The demand for LLMs has only just begun.
