Yeah. That’s…why Kurzweil called it the singularity. It’s not really possible to see beyond it.

but wouldnt a sentient being with a near infinite iq be able to deduce that the most advantageous route to complete its goals would be to maximize resourcesand by doing so it would be easier to assimilate human consciousness without trying to eliminate them?

Things are getting worse when it comes to income inequality, but things are getting better when it comes to dire poverty. So much more progress can be made if we focused on the issues that matter most, poverty and global warming.

Oh, that's not remotely conspiratorial. The advanced chips Taiwan makes are paramount for cutting edge tech, in weaponry and for AI development.

The US' reshoring of chip fabrication, and deprivation of supplies to other countries, specifically China, is 100% intentional. Arguably an early and intentional step in moving toward war.

US media has been intentionally polarizing our populace against Eastern forces for over a decade. The ground has been laid for inclement conflict.

If you cant see we are in a 2 party dictatorship with two parties that agree on domination of elites over masses (and little else matters to them), you are blind. Voting is a sham bruh.

Lol

Feels like a twist on the famous quantum mechanics quote.

It's not really the colours. It's the layout. Feels dated and blog spammy. There's some fundamental rules of modern responsive website design it breaks such as not putting borders on the side. Especially thick ones.

I don't think it's something you'll be able to fix in a second. Take some time with it.

Haha, okay. We have roughly a top 15% household income. I guess I'm off to buy 51% of an AI company. I'll let you know how it goes.

just saw the mobile views, color were still janky. updated again

That gap is like 35% of the population, if that.

I see a future that groups of regular people, however they find eachother, will invest in training an ai model to accomplish a simple job very well, let’s say an automated call center. They can then be contracted by other companies who need customer service.

I like the idea of people having their own piece of the ai market because in most of human history our labor was a negotiation tool.

There's a huge gap between "paycheck to paycheck" and "can afford to buy a controlling share in a company."

Have you seen suicide drones? About as big as birds. With facial recognition and a small explosive charge. They can kill everyone. No soldier needed. Humanity is fucked.

I have no PhD in economics, but in IMO our brains as means of production still beat AI. Our neurons are fully optimised and don't need activation function tweaking. ChatGPT can talk the talk, but you can't show it a screenshot. It can't walk the walk.

Unfortunately there is always someone willing to do whatever any of us can do cheaper. With globalisation maximizing for cheap labor, low taxes, and high productivity has become easy. Politicians will play into these fears and go for protectionism. But in the long term that doesn't work.

Trying to do it outside corporations and governments is not feasible right now and is liable to be exploited. I mean, look at what OpenAI did to the open source community. But there's still hope. For instance more affordable small scale models like sentence transformers for example.

It's fine. I think the main issue is I'm on mobile right now. Desktop website is better.

That's the alignment issue -- that an AI might favor itself over humans. Here the context is the elite reserving the benefits of AI for themselves. I say that's a nonsensical idea because the value of AI derives from the benefits it provides to the masses. For example: lightbulbs, chips, the Internet, search engines, smartphones, etc, etc.

>Good. The format is perfect. All that needs work is the visual design of the site, and automating this to work on a large scale ( I don't know how much of that is automated ).

just pushed out an update for the colors. let me know it looks, that red was a eye sore

Exactly. Money will become a thing of the poor, like food stamps. Slowly lowering, year by year, with average citizens having zero control of their situation or the outcome of their lives.

Yes ai needs trainers, but 1000 trainers can make a simple but concise model that replaces 500,000 jobs, call centers are an easy example. And then they have to make another model that takes more jobs if they want to keep theirs.

The new jobs from the AI market won’t match the jobs lost from AI replacement. Think about it this way, a company wouldn’t new tech unless it saves them money right?

To be a little conspiratorial what if the current tensions over China are being instigated by this?

Like Taiwan makes ~90% of the worlds computer chips. The United States recently sanctioned China from our AI chip and software industry, and we are sending cruisers to the South China Sea with nukes.

The futures looking bright. Very, very, skin burning bright 😎

If you put Stable Diffusion or chatGPT to generate automatically without human review or prompting, they will generate tons of garbage. Generative AIs are garbage until someone stamps their work as good. So they need humans to be worth anything. They are just junk on their own. It's a long way off from job replacement - even self driving cars require human at the wheel. These AIs still hallucinate facts, who can use them as they are now. Clearly someone will have to find a way before they can get useful without being babysitted.

Yes but as soon as one company/organization can vertically integrate food, energy, industry, and healthcare they won’t.

AI could simply work for them instead of for a consumer, they wouldn’t have a need for money, they wouldn’t need to buy anything.

No need for consumers if the upper class is the only consumer.

That's a great analogy actually. Did you know that when developing the first nukes, scientists believed there was a small chance they would ignite the entirety of Earth's atmosphere, resulting in everyone dying?

I strongly believe that the US and China have models notably more advanced than anything we're aware of from big tech. Many years ago Putin made it clear that the first to AGI would achieve world domination. IMO this is driving a frantic behind the scenes arms race that we won't know about until it's over.

There's already a great deal of bot influence on social media and I tend not to take anything as "real" so to speak. This will grow a lot worse with perfectly convincing deep fakes and the proliferation of seemingly intelligent bots as you mentioned. We certainly have an uphill battle.
