Thanks for asking. From what the whistleblower has explained in multiple interviews, LAMDA itself is this gigantic system which is hooked up to the internet. It has access to all we have access to - video, text, audio and has and continues to learn from it. Now it itself is a weird conglomerate of these different personalities or "chatbots" it creates. It's, in a sense, a hive mind. I recall him talking about how he'd have these bizarre interactions where it would interact with him as these different personalities even though it has its "own" personality (ie the entity or function which creates these other personalities).

So it's multiple systems and sensors all adding to create a sun greater than the whole which then spits out these chatbots. Thing is, what they are releasing with bard is a significantly weaker version (dunno if it's sinister or just too expensive to process). Some en what we will get, while comparable to chatgpt, is still 1 or 2 orders of magnitude weaker than what it's basic chatbot personalities would otherwise be

Upvoted for use of Salvo - side note, I've been reading the Backyard Starship series, and it's a solid entertaning read throughout.

seems very likely to me

If only I had that power.

its not impossible but it seems unlikely

what if our whole existence is already someones bdsm simulator

We know. You're avoiding the failures of your own life so much you hope that the singularity will solve them. It won't and you need to stop hoping for it to. It could be generations away so you need to get your act together now. Else you might not make it to the party or be allowed in.

I wouldnt play an extreme bdsm simulator (as the dom, id be the sub)

Obviously not. Why would any sane person want that?

If we ever do get to the point where this is theoretically possible (I don’t believe we are even remotely close now) I would hope it is viewed as an extremely serious crime and punished accordingly.

Thank you so much!!!!

Yep

Intellects and professors realize the impact of an LLM paired with media generators so they are concerned about the future of the academic field, not just for plagiarism, but because the fact that being highly educated might have diminishing returns over time. Ordinary laymen don't see this far. If we don't hit the brakes on generalizing the intelligence more, we're headed for a massive societal reform, maybe in 10 years from now if we pursue the path to AGI.

It seems like the only conversation people in the education field are having is about AI, and although we’re seeing dwindling numbers of teachers in the US currently, it’s still a huge number of people chattering on about these advancements (though, sadly, looking at it through a negative lens rather than the potential for great positive change before exponential takeoff).

I could tell a few sentences in as well. Very similar story structure to when you ask it to write a story of this nature AI taking over.

yes me

They are working on it there is a lot of research on it and they created a quantum gate that was so fast that the noise from the system did not disturb it in high temperature

I’m quite prepared if it involves receiving UBI and doing lots of drugs.

How old are you? Most Gen Z are and a lot of Gen Y are just mentally checked out with society as a whole. The 08 financial crash fucked Gen Y hard, Gen Z has been told everything is corrupt, terrible and don't bother as they can't win. Its a terrible message to be sending out and its disenfranchised them to try or have any faith in the system.
 
I am Gen Y and I find I have a group of friends who have no faith in themselves and don't plan for the future in any way. They are "lost at sea", I used to be one of them.
 
It seems most people want large scale change to deal with the societal issues at large and their own personal problems. You are definitely not alone, shit is hard but you are responsible for your future even if the game is rigged against us.
 
I wouldn't bank on AI to solve your problems, in the end do what you can and if AI or some other solution comes that makes the world a better place, then that's icing on the cake. If it doesn't come, you haven't wasted time which you will regret later.

What if it's an extreme BDSM simulator game, and they're begging you to shoot them in the face, like that guy from Borderlands?

if something is not of a physical form right in front of us, the guilt or discomfort goes away for most people and gamers never really will care about the feelings of an LLM based npc. i know i wouldn't because i have to be convinced of something being sentient. I've killed a lot of mosquitoes in my life, they're intelligent tiny little insects but have no amount of neurons to virtualize the suffering and consciousness. Sane with these llms for me, it's kind of conspiracy theorist mentality to discuss these things right now when we know that we're several years away from AGI and god knows if ASI is possible without a biological substrate. i believe it is possible but we have a long way to go.

There were similar discussions when Sniper Elite 5 came out. All of the Nazi soldiers had back stories. You could view a little blurb about them by focusing on them for a few seconds.

Some were "Hanz was too rough with prisoners, so they put him on guard duty" and some were "Franz wants to get out of the war and go raise dogs".

Players were saying "I view everyone, and kill the bad guys." And some said "They're all Nazis, they're all bad guys." And some said "Some of them were conscripted in to the war."

But at the end of the day, they're Nazis, so they get a bullet in the brain.

Yea no more interviews, you simply put your brain scanner on at home and send the data to the company and they use an AI to determine if your brain is a good fit for their company, that's it!

For me, the possibility of changing everything attracts me like a sun. No matter what year it happened, or even—as long as it was realized by an intelligent creature, I would think it was a kind of supreme beauty.

Because it have not had much of an impact in real-life yet, not enough for people to take real notice. If I go outside now there are no robots or AI to be seen anywhere. I feel like most people will catch on when they see actual robots like Boston Dynamic's ATLAS walking around doing chores, that's when their paradigm shift occurs.
