Well said. That’s true of most information

That’s like trying to be blind to smartphones. You still get some old people, but it’s like their living in some strange antiquated world and all there interactions with society now are frustrated

When did we cross over from just enjoying the novelty of AI systems into anthropomorphizing them (“hallucinations”) and acting like its at all noteworthy for them to get answers wrong. What is this about “trusting” the AI?

What happened? I feel like the typical tech hype train has caused mass confusion over what AI is. It is a tool - thats it.

Maybe relative living standards. By making normies feel like second class citizens when all the nerds are like super heroes. Imagine if you were the only one without a cellphone and a laptop

Correct, as far as you know.

The fact that it hallucinated during a pre-recorded demo that was obviously vetted by multiple people demonstrates how hard it is to actually determine when it is wrong.

Cant wait to lose my job yay

So are you saying things will slow down?

no actually seems like a pretty narrow science benchmark

​

if you told me the MMLU 0 shot was higher than 175 billion gpt 3.5 with under a billion parameters then id be absolutely shocked

maybe it’s just an overrated advancement. If seems to me that it does rehash’s of answers it finds on the internet. It makes up references and in general has no real capacity for reason. While it seems close being useful and it feels like we are on the cusp of some crazy era it’s just as likely that it will stagnate and getting it to go from 90% general ai to something that’s 99% reliable will take far longer than people realise. Driverless cars are probably a good example. it seemed just around the corner years ago but now it’s perpetually 5-10 years away from full self drive.

Good question. I don’t know if society is ready for anything like this. I imagine the mental health crisis will be extreme and lots of people will commit suicide unfortunately

There will be a market for countermeasures against the technologies AI can rapidly deploy against us but not without loss of human life or securities being held hostage first that's for sure. People already attack the power-grid and various government institutions in cyber-ransom attacks.

I am a little unsatisfied with how our other technologies grow but at least these neural networks are fantastic at helping us find engineering/medical breakthroughs. ChatGPT is something I'd find paired well with Wolfram Alpha but its a bit too wordy rn.

Pray we are not Tony Starks staring at Ultron, hoping it's Vision.

It may be a fundamental flaw of these neural networks that no amount of scaling can fix. If it is, it be be a long time until they find a solution. I hope this isn't the case but it's too early to tell.

Not to mention the world has been ending for thousands of years

“The bottleneck is coming! The bottleneck is coming!”

It was humorous. Username checks

He described the curve from inside it. Like the Milky Way.

The fear is that the first self bootstrapping ASI will become godlike and stifle rival ASI projects

I don’t believe this, but it seems possible. Especially if it’s something that grows exponentially with scale at some point. First mover advantage may not even require scifi godlike powers. But this thinking is what this sub is for

exactly - everyone here slapping themselves on the back like they are some oracle at the rim of a new world that the "normals" can't comprehend

Not at all. GPTChat is great, but can give confidently wrong answers. If/when it can give correct answers consistently, society may be shocked.

Yeah if everyone is gaslighting it by saying they thumbed up a different thing than they did while other people are pranking it with sexy romance stories, it's going to fuck up the AI.

Thank you, I had no idea who this person is, or why anybody should care about this rather [meaningless] twitter post. He's got some interesting posts on that blog.

Speling too

Reciting what has happen as if you predicted it along with your future predictions has no link and no value.

I don't think it is possible to delay it. If it is dangerous, I can mostly just hope for the best.

Even humans don't start a chain of action without some input. Interaction is not the only form of input for us. What you hear, what you see, what you touch and feel. What you smell. All forms of input that inspire action in us. How would a person behave if he was strolled of all input? I suspect not far off from how LLMs currently are. Anyway streams of input is fairly non trivial especially when LLMs are grounded in the physical world.
