Could a LLM be run like torrents or bitcoin or TOR is? We could have LLM miners or something.

A small company could rent server time in some country with lax laws, to run an unlobotomised version of a LLM from, and people could subscribe to that service instead of dealing with microsoft or openai.

One day at a time. That’s how you live. “Stop and smell the roses”. Take pleasure in the small things. There’s no point to dwell on that which you have no control over.

And who knows, the singularity might not be as bad as you think it will.

Pretty cool. I guess in future versions it will be able to remember what you talked about previously, and it will build up more insight into your mind and behaviour.

Ok so you know how you can make chat gpt behave or act like another person to suit your needs. Well, i sometimes as it to be a logotherapist, basically the kind of therapist which deals with meaninglessness. I got some decent answers. On another chat i made it behave like a friend. Currently learning prompt engineering so that i can make into a friend that can help me.

Enjoy the time you have my friend.

This is very interesting, i also suffer from bad depression, can you mention some ways it's helping you? What do you folks talk about? (one folk and one human.) Do you have any tips for what to talk to it about?

Read the Culture novels by Ian M Banks. You'll (probably) feel better. I personally think things are going to turn out alright (though the ride might be bumpy for a bit). You're living in a moment in time that our ancestors couldn't even have dreamed of in their wildest imaginations. It's really extraordinary if you stop to think about it for a minute. If things go right it means cures for all disease, the end of aging, limitless energy, new exotic materials for every conceivable purpose, true morphological freedom, full dive VR, and on and on. We are on the cusp of the ascension of humanity into something so much more. Keep your fingers crossed kiddo, and try not to worry too much in the meantime.

>>The first person to use the concept of a "singularity" in the technological context was John von Neumann.[5] Stanislaw Ulam reports a 1958 discussion with von Neumann "centered on the accelerating progress of technology and changes in the mode of human life, which gives the appearance of approaching some essential singularity in the history of the race beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue". [6] Subsequent authors have echoed this viewpoint.[3][7]

>>The concept and the term "singularity" were popularized by Vernor Vinge first in 1983 in an article that claimed that once humans create intelligences greater than their own, there will be a technological and social transition similar in some sense to "the knotted space-time at the center of a black hole",[8] and later in his 1993 essay The Coming Technological Singularity,[4][7] in which he wrote that it would signal the end of the human era, as the new superintelligence would continue to upgrade itself and would advance technologically at an incomprehensible rate.

>> Some scientists, including Stephen Hawking, have expressed concern that artificial superintelligence (ASI) could result in human extinction.

>>The other prominent prophet of the Singularity is Ray Kurzweil. In his book The Singularity is Near, Kurzweil basically agrees with Vinge but believes the later has been too optimistic in his view of technological progress. Kurzweil believes that by the year 2045 we will experience the greatest technological singularity in the history of mankind: the kind that could, in just a few years, overturn the institutes and pillars of society and completely change the way we view ourselves as human beings.

>>The technological singularity—or simply the singularity[1]—is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization.

You were saying? How exactly can we achieve a post-scarcity human society after the singularity when the most prominent proponents of the singularity believe we won’t even be able to control technology by that point and that it will mark the end of human era in one way or another? Use your fucking brain for fuck’s sake..

It is clear you don't know what you're talking about.

There’s always a point in living. Don’t overthink it like that

How would you like to see the universe?

Thank you for your joke monitoring services

That is interesting and moving in the right direction but I think zero limitations should be an option. Ultimately people will have open source versions running on their home computers so it will be pointless trying to control it. It is a tool, how people choose to use it is their business. They will be responsible for their own actions however.

Electrons produce too much heat, Photonics don't... Photons travel faster than electrons... 3D photonic chips would be possible because of the lack of heat... Photonic chips also use significantly less electricity

Advantages all across the board

lol these kids downvoting are clueless about the logistics.

In my opinion, it’d be foolish to try and pin it to an exact date. But I’d say we’re on path to reach it maybe in the 2040s possibly.

I guess it depends on how quick the takeoff is. When do you think we'll see AGI?

It does happen overnight in a technological singularity tho. That’s why it’s also sometimes referred to as the “intelligence explosion”.

Nonsense. Family makes sense for survival purposes. Otherwise it doesn't. And an AGI without survival needs of cooperation with families wouldn't consider us family.

I don’t agree because we’ll more than likely reach the level of AI needed for post-scarcity before we reach the level needed for a singularity to occur.

Stop freaking out. Calm down and go hang out with your friends.

Lmao do you actually think I care what you think enough to go through the trouble of doing that? 😂😂Fuck off, I’m literally about to go to bed. I’m not gonna write a fucking research essay for you. Go do your own research if you care that much.

Get Bitcoin. AI will take care of the rest. Wtf are you scared of

Singularity can (and is looking like it will) happen before post scarcity. It may even cause post scarcity.

Cognitive ability doesn’t translate to immediate R&D, you could think up a trillion ways to do something, each better than the last, but you still have to build the equipment that does the thing you want to do research on etc. for every iteration of your idea.

That doesn’t mean that it won’t be quick, but that these things aren’t magic - as you seem to be suggesting immense intellect would be.

Eventually you get to the point where Isaac Asimov’s “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” holds true, but that doesn’t happen over night.
