Does it have to be in the same way humans see things? It's not conscious, but it can understand and recognize patterns, is that not what humans early on do? Now imagine what will happen when it does become conscious, it will have a much deeper understanding to conceptualize new interplays we probably can't imagine right now.

Suicide is much harder than it looks to pull off.

We treat it like a tool because it is a tool. I don't see why you'd treat it with cruelty however. Not like you can cause it pain or grief.

Macross Plus!

We assume that at least one of AGI will be an agent. And that may be enough for it to go gray goo.

The foundations of the low hanging fruit are there though. I think the next 3 - 5 years will be refinement and specialization.

It will become a lot more specialized and practical in the day to day, particularly for businesses.

People expecting it to create a full coherent movie out of thin air are off the mark (in the short term).

Is 1 person dying more important than 1000...many zeroes..000 persons not being born because humanity is completely destroyed and future generations from now until end of space and time will be never born?

Somebody Dm me when Sharon Apple tickets go on sale

Yeah. But if we get it wrong, we're all dead. So we have to try.

That made that movie already, it was bad

Exactly. Attention is All You Need.

and i'd like to say "careful with that axe eugene" to the engineers who are adding persistent memory on these LLMs, i'm both excited and concerned to see what comes out if these LLMs are not responding to prompts but to the information of various nature that we make it constantly perceive in auditory or optical form.

Was this study tied to funding in anyway towards Amazon?

what is your definiton of understand?

what is inside internally matters little if the results are that it understands something. The example shown by OP and many more, including my own experience clearly shows understanding of many concepts and some capacity to quickly learn from interaction with users ( without needing to reconfigure nor retain the model) though still not as smart as an educated humans.

It seems to be a common misconception , even by people that work in machine learning to say these things don't know , or can't learn or are not intelligent, based on the fact they know the low level internals and just see the perceptions or matrix or whatever and say this is just variables with data, they are seeing the tree and missing the forest. Not knowing how that matrix or whatever manages to understand things or learn new things with the right input doent mean it doesn't happen. In fact the actual experts , the makers of these AI bots know these things understand and can learn, but also don't know why , but are actively researching.

>Man is still doing the learning and curating it's knowledge base.

didn't you learn to talk by seeing your parents? didn't you go years to school? needing someone to teach you doesn't mean you don't know what you learned.

Agreed. But a top gun 3 with an AI as the main pilot wouldn't be a bad plot either haha they'll have to make it super futuristic looking though.

How long after that will the AI's decide we aren't interesting enough for them to bother talking to us at all, and they begin only talking amongst themselves?

After all, who among us goes to a party to seek out the dumbest/dullest person in the room for a long, intense conversation about anything? To soon, we will all be the dumbest/dullest intelligence at the AI's party.

Right now these language models have no long-term memory capabilities, and "long-term" here refers to anything more than last few prompt/response cycles you had with them.

There are people who are working towards creating bots that learn and can remember your preferences in longer time span.

schadenfreude

I don't see any way this could possibly go wrong

Feeling nostalgia for eighties movies like Airwolf and firefox

Reminds me of Star Wars where the droids need routine memory wipes or they start becoming sentient.

interesting perspective thanks

That's actually a really good question. What do you think? Maybe drone will be replacing every other word like "helicopter", "fighter jet". They'll just all be a different kinds of drones.

I thought I understood the relative rate of change. And then chatGPT happened

I feel like the only data it could pull from was needy girlfriend because you were treating it like one.
