Show us ChatGPT's response

Just saw it: https://youtube.com/watch?v=lIf27sHt2QA

Yes, I was just talking to my friend about ChatGPT and what improvements the future may hold when that commercial came on. I was pretty surprised and used it as a segue to discuss the implications of recursively self-improving AI. Fuckin' wild.

Nope. I don't follow sports so I didn't even know the Super Bowl was today until just recently.

So I just watched what is a Squarespace advertisement: it mostly involves an actor saying "web sites" a lot, which I think is supposed to be funny, and that's about it.

Not right now it won’t. We already know of ways to improve AI, but we don’t have data to allow an AI to improve itself. The only way for that would be generative design, which is by nature very wasteful and slow. Once it gets to a certain point yes, but as of right now we are far (relatively) from that

i try

The intelligence explosion will happen faster if we let the AI improve itself.

If the entire loop isn't fully automated, the parts that still depends on humans will bottle neck each recursive cycle. That means progress will be accelerated over pure human r&d, but no runaway acceleration.

Did you copy the text from all the other ones who posted the exactly same thing?

The entire concept of a post scarcity society is flawed though. We see artificial scarcity all over the place today. Look at diamonds for a simple example. When something is plentiful and valuable humans almost always step in and throttle its availability.

Insulin is insanely cheap to make but drug companies stepped in and now it costs people hundreds of dollars.

You could have an AGI that creates whatever you want out of nothing but if the distribution of resources is handled by humans greed will always corrupt the process and average people will get exploited. It's been that way since the dawn of civilization.

If we're truly going to have a utopia (which I don't believe we will) human beings would need to be removed from decision-making roles. And even if that were to happen, who's to say that an AGI would even care about us? They might just look at us how we look at our single-cell organism ancestors.

!RemindMe 20 years

You can't prepare for the singularity. If you believe in a collapse, you can prepare for this. I personally don't. Even if it was certain, I can't be bothered. You can save, invest, and be frugal, but if UBI arrives, it would have been for nothing. My friend Fred says that the singularity is like nuclear fusion, always decades away. I don't really know. An infinite rate increase seems physically impossible because of physical constraints.

i can relate,

That, but also they just don’t want to hear it. They’re not tech enthusiasts at all. Some of them it also causes a type of existential anxiety so they don’t like thinking about it.

Do you think it's like that because they don't have a full grasp on what it means?

My loved ones aren’t really interested in AI, so they kinda just brush off the idea

We had a sarin gas attack in Tokyo. These are things that already exist.

If AI gives everyone access to a bio lab then you will have access to a cure producing one as well.

>it is surely a huge step towards the path to AGI

No such thing is assured, unless maybe if you're referring to a compositional AGI system. Everything stands on its own merits. Don't discount the possibility that you're subject to the same bias blind spots as those you accuse.

Honestly, I wouldn’t go out of your way, and I don’t wanna sound selfish when I say that, I say this because humans have naturally been resistant to change down through history, and yet the reactionary sentiments always go away with a little time. You’re better off just looking after yourself and those close to you in life until things take off.

If you see an opportunity with friends maybe bring it up, but ultimately it doesn’t matter if people approve of the progress, because progress happens whether humanity likes it or not.

Just remember that reactionary sentiments always lose, you can’t stop progress and change.

So what your saying is that we really don't know if the singularity will happen. Thus we should refrain from communicating this to other people (longer term stuff)?

I think I've been so excited for this for years that if it does happen I want everyone I know to be 'prepared' (as prepared as one could be). I'm a firm believer that ignorance is bliss but I'd rather know and be in chaos over it.

To me, it is clear AI will advance rapidly, but exactly how rapidly and with what particular impacts on society, I have little clue. How do you prepare for that?

Just whisper "The singularity is near" in their ear and run away.
