The president of Stanford is under investigation for potentially falsifying research findings.

I want to agree with u/Iffykindofguy but I think the generational distinction is important. Like, sure, people aren't going to stop going out for drinks with their friends just because there is an AI option all of a sudden. But for future generations who haven't established those social/community bonds? It doesn't seem so far-fetched. Still, that sort of cultural shift won't happen nearly as fast as people are predicting.

Futile.

Haha, I had my wake up call a long time ago.

And, needless to say, slutty.

This is just stupid. Ridiculous and stupid.

What is the surprise?

Whichever mod removed my comment about us already being a hive mind for breaking the sub rules can delete this comment too.

Maybe your generation, but the reality is that people born after 2000's are extremely lonely and already somewhat out of touch with reality due to extreme internet addiction. Even now you could argue that people aren't interacting with each other as much as they did 10 years ago since everyone is so atomized and living in their own online bubbles. I have no reason to believe that the current trend is going to reverse anytime soon.

Wasn't there a study suggesting that the average teenager/young adult spends 6-8 hours per day on their phone (and that's only phone without counting in the computer and other gadgets)? I think there was another study that also suggested that every third interviewed person in the US doesn't have a real friend. Humanlike AI will be able to fix all of that, further reducing reasons to go outside and meet friends/partners.

Maybe they'll use the profits to save the world. /s

The problem is that it absolutely can replace "artisanship" there is no divine touch in the human spirit that makes it irreplaceable, its just experience.

Why would celebrity be the thing to survive through this? Celebrity is already falling apart as people get more access to these folk and stop thinking of them as gods. If anyone can create the same thing as Elon why would people not see through the facade of celebrity? Your entire point hinges on there being someone with the singular vision to be worth it, that's not how humanity works. Celebrity is a product of capitalism and ignorance.

Biology as a specific field is too noisy and we didn’t see there the “unreasonable effectiveness of Mathematics in Natural Science”.

Most pure biology research involves heavy lab work with endless tries with minute random changes. It is not romantic, it is mind numbing.

Biology needs armies of young soldiers eager to work for nothing doing those experiments, so they have to promise future successes, grants, positions or discoveries that seldom come.

Despite that you can achieve big success in biology in the “harder” aspects of it like: data science, modelling, IA… of course.

Diving straight into biology will not teach you maths and physics and will only specialize you into XYZ gene/protein.

Love biology, learn about biology, participate in biological studies, but don’t work in biology (at least not until you have a solid hard sciences background).

Psychology is a lost domain, it is too subjective and moving with the “trend of the day”. General academic level is very poor, it is mindblowingly over populated and you’ll end up depressed/looking to escape in an HR position like most of them.

So yes, study hard science while to have stamina and fresh neurons. Then you can conquer the world in your terms:-)

In my field, Im a medical doctor, I’ve said 10 years ago that all academic positions will be soon for AI-“pick your favorite specialty”. I was right, it is just taking time because physicians are notoriously bad at CS and the few who are, are better paid outside of the hospital…

Ummmmmmmmm

​

there will be tons of reason to interact with people what are you talking about lol. If you literally live only for tv and games, maybe. But even then you still will want to talk about those things and share them with people as your longwinded post gives away.

This is the US we're talking about, it's a sovereign currency. Taxes don't pay for government spending.

I don't think even Van Gogh can claim ownership of squiggly lines that look like fire or the colour palette of white-blue-gold. They pre-existed and were rediscovered in many ways in by many artists.

Can we agree that a style used by 3 or more artists doesn't belong to anyone and is open for AI to use? We just need to make a list of all styles that are generic enough.

I was aware of what was going to happen. Still, ChatGPT was like a punch in the face. Very powerful.

The QR code will be harder to read hahaha

Totally agree, i knows AI will be better at many levels, for example, in those patients with 20 medications will be easy to know if there’s a contraindication between them. But my point is the responsibility. Here other example: two autonomous teslas has a crash, is the company tesla or the owners of the cars the responsible? Who’s going to pay? Who pays the insurance?

The ultimate age of consumerism. Machines will put in the work and everyone will receive UBI. If UBI is not installed properly there will be riots, looting, assassinations of AI developers etc... If everything goes well we will become unrecognizable to each other since everyone will live in their own bubbles with their own AI generated video games, shows, porn, news feed, AI friends and girlfriends etc...

There will be no reason to interact with people anymore. Majority of people will just spend time in VR and in their own house. Food will get made by AI and delivered to you by an autonomous drone. No reason to go out for a doctor visit since your personal assistant will know your body better than you and will be able to predict years in advance what will happen to it. You get my point.

And soon after that comes human augmentation with AI. The future looks interesting to say the least, but what we currently regard as "human" will no longer be there in the next 10 years.

I've recently been watching The last of us, and I personally want to go the other way lol (return to monkey). I know its a TV show, but it does seem like when there is no technology the relationships people have seem a lot deeper, more meaningful and life in general feels more fulfilling. Hey, maybe when AI gets far enough I'll request a personalized first person simulation of different time periods to see what it is like to grow up without technology. Sorry for the rant.

It's not the same thing. Microsoft is already huge, and the percent growth on capital investment is not even close to the disruptive capacity of OpenAi. Any increase in valuation of OpenAi is not directly impacting Microsoft's, it's considerably diluted.

It's like eating the shit of the people at the table instead of eating at the table.

You can invest in Microsoft who is the main investor in Open AI

There is already now some exosuits and other robotic apparrel

To the other questions, a lot would depend on the personality of the singularity. In the worst case it would try to wipe us out just like Skynet did, so no chance of much then, except endless fight against it.
