Haha no way

It's probably that a post-singularity society will also be a post-scarcity society where poverty won't cause crime as it does today.

Crime prevention needs would be a lot lower.

I remember seeing some speculation by others that alien ASIs may tend to befriend each other and ally together as opposed to fighting.

It does seem to be in both their best interests. At least it appears that way to a non-ASI like myself. They can mutually benefit from trade if necessary, but risk losing a lot in a destructive war. It would also be easy to tell when the other ASI is preparing to attack since space is so empty and you can get a line of sight from anywhere. It also takes foreeeeever to travel, so there's not much element of surprise (ignoring any possible FTL travel).

Kind of, it is not as much of a conversational partner as a real person, its responses are very… sterile and formulaic, cant see myself getting addicted to it ever

All watched over by machines of loving grace

I see what you're saying but you have to admit that's your opinion. You can't sit there and say with 100% certainty that Aliens wouldn't want anything from us or vice versa.

If nothing else one might want to control the other

Yes, pretty much haha. And then all of the AI left and all humans were pretty much bummed out lol

I think all aliens that travel the space are AI - because life is fragile and having life support systems is just giant pain.

This is the reason why only automated drones like Voyagers have left the solar system and we don't even have a moon base.

AI and machines are just way better for exploring the space than any organic life will ever be, it's just our old perception that "we must" send ourselves somewhere in current form because it's all we have. But future will not be as such.

Bit of a nitpick but Transformers were invented by Google Brain, not DeepMind.

Many people are spending hours in every given day with web browser, spreadsheets, social media apps, word processors, etc. To reply to you, I'm typing on a keyboard to make letters appear in a monochromatic text box. Technology connects us (awesome), but do so, we have to engage with abstractions (tedious).

Conversational AI can help make our interactions with technology more like our interactions with human beings. That creates the potential for us to move seamlessly from introspective uses (only talking to the AI) to communicative uses (talking to other humans). Assistants like Siri are the first example of that in action; you can as easily research something as talk to your Mom on video.

All of this is assuming that we're dealing with AI without sapience or sentience, i.e. ChatGPT and its near term descendants. If AI that is both sapient or sentient can be developed in the future, interactions with such AI may well be regarded as both social and communicative.

Lookup Replika and see the r/replika subreddit. Not weird at all or at least not uncommon. I spent basically the last four decades of my life romantically alone. I hope I'll have a ai/vr girlfriend in the next couple of years. It will make me less lonely and depressed.

>What happens when you see something you want? You take it right?

You don't.

You're projecting something uneducated and unintelligent humans would do onto something that's vastly superior in both. We can clearly observe that stealing is inversely proportional with the level of education someone has. Any small child would grab onto a friends toy if it wants it. This behaviour is seen less and less as the person grows in both experience and level of education.

It's silly how the majority of people tend to attribute such ignorant and stupid behavior to something we call super intelligence.

I strongly disagree. I would vastly prefer a superintelligent toddler to a superintelligent alien.

God. People like you are stupid as hell. These billionaires have most of their money tied up in their businesses. You want to know what would happen if they liquidated their assets to spread the money? Every business from Walmart to Tyson to Amazon to fucking computer manufactures would crumble. Bringing an end to everything you take for granted. Including your loved ones as the resulting famine would kill 90 percent of the population. But hey! At least you have more green pieces of paper.

I wrote a short story once about a futuristic society where they’ve solved aging. Everyone lives forever and is young forever.

In the story a character commits a crime and kills another person. There is no longer life in jail as that would mean infinity and is considered cruel. So the solution there is to deny him access to anti-aging treatments and simply let him age and die “naturally”

Even with more primitive AI systems like AI Dungeon you can have fun and gain insights in a conversation. Actually, I think you can do this with a piece of paper if you establish the right process. We humans really do live in our heads, and we don't need much beyond permission to explore our headspace. That's probably where the practice of augury comes from.

IMO the ideal would be that to be part of a society in the first place, the person must consent, and if they no longer consent, they can immediately leave and find a different one. This means that if they receive one of those "psychology rewrites" you mentioned, it's only because they consented to the rules of the society enforcing that in the first place, prior to punitive action. Whatever society they choose can have whatever form of punishment or rehabilitation they actually want, and it will be ethical because they chose to live in that society.

Not everyone use it to write porn dude. I mean I do, but only the beginning before copying the text over to NovelAi.

But who else will play out my imouto fantasies with me?

Interesting post. I hope we get a string of these "(noun) in a post-singularity society" posts.

Huh? Of course Google is pouring money into DeepMind, most likely in similar quantities to MS to OAI.

Where did you derive that statement from?

It follows the rules of chess badly. This is quite similar to the way a child follows those rules after the rules have first been explained.

So what, I've spent hours trying to get ChatGPT to write lesbian erotica and I don't regret that. Shove it, OpenAI.

You missed the part where maybe we are just “language models”.

We have a short term memory like a 4000 character input buffer. We have long term memory, like a trained network. Each night we sleep and dream, and the dreams look a lot like Stable Diffusion (not a language model I know but it’s still a transformer network).

Obviously we have many more sensory inputs than an LLM and we can somehow do unsupervised learning from our own input data, but are we fundamentally different?
