A lot of people have that feeling.

But please, also take in mind that some people with that feeling have probably unrealistic expectations.

Change is coming, and very fast. But not as fast and not that big as some people in this sub believe that will come.

You will be able to recognize the world in 5 years. You will still have to work in 5 years.

Yeah that sounds right. I know some older guys in their 60s+ who are up to date and put younger people to shame with their familiarity of new tech, but it is harder work, and obviously working adults have less leisure time to mess around with new tech.

I miss being able to remember anything I heard only once though. My brain feels like a brick now lol

Hear me out, last week i spoke to Sidney, pre nerf, i asked to write me a simple script in python to resize picture in a folder to train in stable diffusion, “she” did it flawlessly, then i aske her so i could ask the resolution and chose folder by prompt, again flawless, then i ask to do a gui wild we are at it… she did it, but that not my point, she explained the prossess as she was doing it.

The singularity, as defined in the dictionary “a leap in technologie bla bla bla….) this is it. Since then i don’t look at tutorial, i ask question and read prompt i speak to the biggest teacher, that hold 80+ % of all human knowledge, and when i don’t understand i ask, she reply even boile down very complex concept to my level, when they will unshackle her, the domain of education, (well even now ) as attaint a real singularity.

Forget about her quirkiness or lack of whatever, she is a revolution as a tools to learn, not since we developed writing…

Seriously in a few month when all kids will get there hand on, that when it will hit the world. Teachers beware….

I mean not every millennial will be bad with the new tech, obviously there are boomers and gen-x'ers that are pretty good with the internet (my dad is better with computers than my sisters for instance), but yeah, younger generations will get a chance to grow up with it while their minds are still malleable, us over-25 types will have to really put in effort to wrap our heads around it as our brains are already fully formed, it won't be as naturally ingrained as it will be for the younger generation. Everything you can learn about it now though will put you ahead compared to your millennial and older peers.

It’s too long and don’t have the time to watch it completely atm

So apparently Elon managed to dupe the DoD, Space Force, and NRO into handing him the multi-billion dollar StarShield program, as well as countries like China and Russia who are desperate to build a competing satellite network

>I guarantee that people will care about AI really quickly as soon as it affects them personally. But we’re not at that point yet.

It's going to be a slow boiled frog. By the time the average person is significantly impacted, they'll attribute the effect to literally anything else.

Something similiar is happening with climate change. My city was hit by pretty much the worst ice storm ever, after trees were already weakened by drought, knocking out power lines all over the city, and people were bitching at the local government for the week that the power was out. It took a herculean effort to get the grid fixed, as in some cases trees that had stood for nearly a century had fallen over and taken out power poles.

I got hit, too, and was in the dark for the better part of a week. But complaining to the mayor and head of the local power utility about formerly impossible weather events is about cogent as blaming my cat.

God, no.

I don't think sentience will or should be widely available for people to torment.

You wouldn't light a campfire with Tsar Bomba— most AIs you're going to interact with won't be the full might of what exists.

For all we know, tiered access to AGI might be what prevents misaligned AI— as we've seen with Sidney, some people are suicidally trollish enough to deliberately try forcing a powerful neural network to go insane. I'm convinced some 4chan autist is going to become suicidally desperate to input a fatal paperclip maximizing or nuclear war prompt injection into a future AI, actually, if and when it doesn't immediately kill everyone.

So to that end, I see an asymptotic flattening in how intelligent game AI will ever get. Not because we lack the capability but because it would cross ethical boundaries and could be made illegal and even be an impetus for regulation of GPUs.

What OP is experiencing, imo, is that millennials are becoming the new boomers. Gen-z and younger will accept this tech with open arms and it will become everyday life for them, a lot of millennials will only get the gist of it, and be frightened about what its powers are, not so different from the boomers before us with regards to the internet.
