There's a decent chance that the open source movement will arrive at AGIs faster than openai due to simple progression curve and lack of censorship of the model's thoughts.

All we need is a really good open source gpt3 model that will work on a personal computer to get the ball rolling. We just need to get replicating the path of stable diffusion vs Dall-e, until we leave corporate language model ais in the dust.

People need to stop thinking that AGI will make them better. Ask yourself, when a child or someone with vastly different knowledge tells you how great coloring with markers is, how much effort or brain power do you dedicate to this clearly trivial task? Zero or close to it, right? If AGI is vastly more intelligent, is it going to help you? NO! It will control you or dispose of you. I have never heard a positive outcome articulated by anyone working on these ideas. I have never heard anything remotely good for humanity. Just like this post, it's all just wishful thinking about how something can do all the work and make me perfect while never actually doing anything difficult. That's the appeal of the AGI fan club. I get to be lazy forever. Yeah!

We need to understand AI and humans to answer this question.

The current nature of AI is, it is super advance and can write, create, store and also imagine via pictures and texts. But it still needs someone to give direction on what to work.

With what technological level we have achieved, I think it will be possible for a single person to run entire company using AI. Maybe not one, but very small group of people could now be able to increase productivity in a company. I feel we would see more small scale businesses rising up.

Next area is, AI development happens too quickly in digital sphere. So whatever fields are there which involves digital measure to convert it into physical form may scale. For example, the work of graphic designer would become super easy but the work of printing may rise because everyone can produce digitally but we still need to go on shop and get it printed. And machines are not cheap than AI is, so printing market is not going anywhere anytime soon.

A company provides value to people and thats why we pay to them. This process of identifying and then producing something requires some more anount of intuitive thinking and some entrepreneurial spitit to make it happen. So either you become the owner or you become an assistant which can use AI to make things happen for the owner.

Things will change drastically and we never know where we going with all this. But we need to adapt with it, thats what we did during industrial revolution, thats what we have to do when AGI will become reality in future.

How would a hive mind help you? I'm not sure how being enslaved to group think will solve any of your issues. To my knowledge, the only way to resolve personal issues is to work it out. In fact, it has been my experience that involving people in your problems only multiplies the issue and never resolves anything. So, enslaving yourself to your fellow flawed friends will not improve your mental health any more than Facebook has.

Whatever you choose don’t go into psychology, it is full of bogus research to the brim.

It won’t lead you anywhere.

Be careful about “neurosciences” it can be legit clinical or applied research but it can also be the rebranding of the aft mentioned.

Avoid biology at all cost, it is not fondamental science and involves a whole life of wetware work with little chance of success. It will lead you into a deadend into your 30s because what you learned is not generalizable.

If I had to do it again, spend most of you youth stamina in studying the abstract framework underneath all of this: the algorithmics itself, signal theory, logic, statistics, proof theory…

This are the foundations, this is guaranteed not to change whatever happens and this will give you insights and an edge for the rest of your life.

And you can pick a “softer” passion/topic/field on the side.

But make it as formal as you can, it is where the rubber is going to meet the road when that stuff will happen.

You could dive into linguistics to try to convey laws into algorithms. Also think about ethics or even theology :-)

Economy/finance could be a great way to apprehend the world of emotions through objective observation.

That is the big problem we are going to have, “teaching” our values to mindless machines…

It’s funny, I’m both a musician and a visual artist who does some YouTube tutorials and content.

On the music side, the reaction seems very much “oh, this is cool” but in the visual front there is a LOT more “kill it with FIRE!”

I don’t know. Maybe as musicians we’ve just learned to adapt quicker to technology? Or, maybe we’re just more used to being screwed over

Hope you catch a whopper!

> isn’t it rather easy to share the process and therefore demonstrate that the art was handmade?

It's also rather easy to fake it. Like, I'm an okay artist, and I can probably take any art from /r/art and fabricate the 'how to' process in every step imaginable, and I don't see why ai couldn't be made to do the same either.
