Reply to comment by BenjaminJamesBush in Amazing. This subreddit is a total waste of time. by LoquaciousAntipodean

Yeah, I tried putting up a thing about ChatGPT explaining its own operating processes, and getting it to reason about how its own language systems work, connecting the 'logic' of written language to the 'logic' of the DNA-to-protein pathway.

Clearly it went over people's heads a bit, but instead of asking about it, the whole post just got scrubbed for being 'low quality content', no other explanation offered.

This would have been a little galling on any subreddit, but considering sort of half-witted fearmongering that passes for discussion here sometimes, I was more than a little disappointed.

But c'est la vie, stupid is as stupid does. I'm not gonna pick a fight with the mods about it; it's trivial, annoying nuisance stuff.

Reply to comment by Ambitious_Bed_8841 in How rapidly will ai change the biomedical field? What changes can be expected. by Smellz_Of_Elderberry

yes. you will probably find schizophrenia to be something that isnt a problem in the future! I dont know exactly when obviously, but I would think that in 10 years the medical world will be very different. The rate of change will increase quite dramatically as massive amounts of information comes about thanks to AI. I would expect that in 2035 at the latest you will be cured or have significant reduction in symptoms with little to no side effects from the new medicines or treatments.

Reply to comment by nutidizen in OpenAI has hired an army of contractors to make basic coding obsolete by Buck-Nasty

I know AGI can. I'm skeptical that it's only 6 years out at all, let alone only 6 years out from being so widespread that just any employer can hire it at will. My main point is that not-general AI can't even begin to compete with human programmers in the complex jobs most of them actually spend most of their time on. I think humans who can leverage non-general AI to make themselves more productive will be the best programmers for a pretty long time.

It was a dealership. I think it was they needed to change the water pump or something. Something we couldn't do or didn't have the tools to do it. We ended up taking it to another dealership.

But the odd thing is the first one the guy said he was too afraid to touch it to the point he didn't even look at the truck, he was cussing about the age, and so on. Another offer when he got off his vacation, but by that time we didn't trust the shop. Like it wasn't the first time we ran in problems with them. And the sad part is the manager said that's the best help they can get.

Anyways, I think none of these things will be a problem once humanoid robots take over such jobs. The stories of a mechanic "finding" problems which cost a fortune to fix and illegally holding a car while saying they can't let it go on the road, replacing parts with cheap parts when you brought high quality parts, and doing other shady or illegal things. All those problems will be in the past.

Even things like buying used cars will be less risky since you can bring the robot with you to look at cars.

>There are going to be rouge AIs, corrupt AIs, etc.

It's the same as rouge software, corrupt software, and so on.

Anyways, I think it is proper for us on here to talk about robot rights and other things. But the problem with making actual laws is unlike other tech. What is being made will massively change the world. And if it gets to the point many of us want. It's the first time humans created life in such a way that never has existed in the known universe.

A bit of both columns. It's the next stage of advancement and it offers a large productivity boom. The large scale point is to just automate everything, and art just proved to be easier since it's in many ways a software only activity while stuff like manual labour is harder to gain data on and requires new hardware to replicate.

The point is that if something is possible to make with the current available it'll almost certainly be made by someone and missing out on it can be dangerous. It's not that they specifically hate artists or anything, in the same way that the car industry wasn't made to specifically destroy or spite the horse industry. It's just a more productive and efficient way of doing things.

> Why do I think this? Personally, I believe it's painfully obvious that once private AI organizations come anywhere near something resembling AGI, they'll get taken over/nationalized by their respective national governments/armed forces.

I think unless it's specifically created in-house by the US Government (and classified), it won't really matter. The cat will be out of the bag at that point, and the technology used to create it will be known and public. Likely the only thing giving first movers an advantage from subsequent competitors is cost. Just look how long it took after DALLE2 before we had Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, both of which are arguably better than DALLE2. Sure, we're probably talking about a different scale, but I don't think a few billion dollars would get in the way of Google, Facebook, Microsoft all developing one, let alone the Chinese government.
