Anyone remember seti@home?

Money will turn into luxury credits in about 20 years. People will contribute based on need/aspiration/and reward.

We'll all be fine for the most part but will need to do some community service at least if you want to afford a playstation 10 or whatever.

Food, education, and healthcare will all be free, aside from ivy league schools or special free market food stuffs. The free market may resemble more of a barter system or could just exchange luxury tokens.

Actually, because of a lack of a real commonly agreed upon understanding of what makes general intelligence there is a tiny chance a loner might crack the problem. It's quite unlikely though.

The sewer scenario might happen after the singularity, though, once the core problem is solved and individuals are tinkering away at small projects for various purposes...

we will soon be desensitized to "art" as we know it today in various forms: drawing/painting, music, literature etc

you mentioned "print" as a technology but you're discounting the fact that we're talking about a different beast here. a beast that can bring your imagination to life and wow you.

isn't art something that wows the audience and takes them places? and if a machine generated thing is coherent enough to paint our imagination for us, do you get where we're headed now?

art as we know today will be understood better by future humans, just like we now understand religion and human constructs way better than even Nietzche did during his time. when he said "god is dead" it was shocking and profound, now we're all like "yeah god is dead who gives a shit".

humans have a peculiar way of finding new constructs and making it a trend. a few of us see that, rest are just discussing art like it was not a human construct and as if the universe has a thing like "art" in there lol.

Who trusts the guy who spent 36 billion fighting malaria and building clean toilets and schools in Africa?

I remember when AMD stock as like $1 thinking they were done when they had their bulldozer processors sucking wind to intel. Then Ryzen came out and the stock went on a roar

Where the hell can I watch it?

Sports. That is probably the safest career bet out there.

There's no time to waste with some people. You learn that some people are natural saboteurs who stand in the way. They will never change, it'll always come out of them.

This could be the least scientific most absurd post Ive seen this morning, great job. Youre just spewing a bunch of nonsense generalizations about young people you saw on fox news.

Social activity starts with your parents so unless those babies grow up in isolation, which is possible, they will always seek interaction. Not to mention digital interaction IS interaction. Some of my longest friends are people Ive ve met online.

This is a business, not a couple of programmers in a basement. They have employees to pay, server costs, etc.

If anything this is good news, their work will continue and will progress.

The world is capitalistic, like it or not.

They got a ton of nice smart people and tricked them into believing they were actually developing something that would be open.

can I try out that model online on that website if I make an account?

It’s only popular because it’s free now. If they paywall it people will move elsewhere. Every major tech company is working on something similar, it’s it not there now, they will catch up in a few months / years

>I and my engineers are abandoning so-called ”black box” algorithms such as neural networks in favor of the new generations of predictive models that can be much more easily interpreted by trained human ML engineers

NNs have been rocking it for the past few years, so this is what surprised me the most. The rest is fairly humdrum

Hilarious that your reasonable, politely-worded post has been downvoted to zero. I agree with you, for this and other reasons, but it doesn't seem a very popular opinion on this sub and I'm not quite sure why. Posters here seem to take delight in the idea of people's jobs being eliminated and Skynet taking over, not sure the appeal. Many fantasize about UBI while forgetting the real 'alignment problem' between elite classes and the rest of society...

You can't save the world without money.

Almost like, bear with me on this.. almost like we live in capitalism.

Indie boom in games and film

One thing to watch for with these language models is they can be made to say anything. Especially with a service that has broken with it's original purpose such as OpenAI, is that these language models can be trained on generated text from a similar AI language model. What they can do (and already do in my opinion) is generate bunches of text saying something to the same effect, such as "the sky is yellow", in many different variations. Then when the language model is trained on this generated text it will learn to say that the sky is yellow.

The fact is these things don't actually "know" human language, they use a lot of math to come up with their responses. The math is what's fine-tuned during the training.

Thank you very much. That makes sense. I'll make sure to train myself in the mathematical sciences, and seriously consider delaying working on the biosciences until later in my career while building my expertise and establishing a solid foundation in the mathematical tools and techniques that I could apply to the life sciences.

I also agree with what you said about psychology being a lost cause due to being very subjective, and I myself think that it needs stronger biological roots to have any credibility, but I never considered that seriously the idea that biology itself might require the application of mathematical tools to develop it more rigorously and extract general principle that are universally true.

I had some suspicions, but I had never come across such a perspective, so thank you once again for sharing your thoughts. I'll give it significant weight while making important career decisions in the near future.

It shouldn't have to be so black and white though (corporate overlords or cyberpunks in sewers). Why can't OpenAi actually look after their Kenyan workers? Why can't they, as their name says, be more transparent in the running of their organization? They'll probably rename themselves shutai once the singularity comes hehehe

Should be interesting to see how well this works. I was reading a Twitter thread from someone who worked on some of the progenitor technology to this and they weren't confident it would be anywhere near as accurate as claimed - this will be our first demo

Exceptionally slutty.
