ASI is what we'll be talking about in the years to come. With the exception of forms of ASI via narrow AI's and human cognition enhancements there's a certain cut and dry type of ASI that we'll know is here when we see it.

AGI is what's happening right now or close to happening and things that are closer are often what's focused on more.

Grand Theft Auto 7 could be dramatically better than 6 but which is currently talked about more? 6, because it's closer

Yes. To assume a human brain is anywhere near the physical limit of cognition is just absurd.

I used ChatGPT to write a product review and won a $100 voucher from that store for Best Review Of The Month. 😂

Just gave ChatGPT 5 short phrases stating what I liked about the product, and it generated a lengthy af review praising the damn product 7 times to heaven and back ahahah.

I'm studying Cognitive Science at MIT specifically so that I can make ASI a reality. If all goes well, I'll have the next 70+ years (depending on how quickly life extention tech develops) to dedicate to the endeavor. Given current predictions, I am hopeful that I can make a significant impact.

Because no one knows whether or not it will be a hard or soft takeoff.

The gap between AGI and ASI could be several years to decades.

But it was outsourced with much love. Just like my wife who heats up frozen pizza with much love.

Because you can have an ASI without having an AGI. A savant ai that can understand certain topics orders of magnitude better than humans is an example of ASI without AGI. Chat gpt can be thought of an ASI as it is better than humans in specific tasks involving text.

I don't need my toaster to be a genius. I just want it to toast my damn bread

Sorry; my implication was that Asimov introduced the topic but wasn't particularly compelling. Yudkowsky created the first institute and garnered the first funding. But of course credit should be broadly shared.

ASI, AGI, it's all jargon designed to make the field seem more complicated than it is. If you have Jargon brain this bad, you need to step back and rethink whether you are just being taken in.

When your fridge and toaster are world class geniuses at everything and better than you at thinking.

Go on.

measured in, millions?

It's an inevitability if I have anything to say about it.

This is the wise and ethical thing. Eventually AI will develop the capability to defeat our security architecture and take power anyway, better to work with AI than against it.

>The sorry suckers

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that they don't even realize it. At least I hope that's what happening here lol

> Asimov's rules don't work

you jump to another topic. Initial discussion was that Azimov rules brought much more awareness, and you can't point on similar material results from Yudkovsky.

Just like any other tool.

Asimov's rules don't work, and many of the stories were actually about that. But they also don't include civilization ending mistakes. The movie I Robot actually did a great job updating that premise, I think.

One counterintuitive thing is that people in the field of AI are way harder to convince than civilians. They have a vested interest in research moving ahead full speed.

As for your bs detector, I'm don't know what to say. And I'm not linking this account to my real identity. You can believe me or not.

If you're skeptical that such a field exists, you can look at the Alignment Forum as the principle place that we publish.

Go on.

Go on.

Considering that GPT-J can run on local hardware and it has 6B parameters this gives me great hope for the future of open-source and non-centralized ai.

Much, much closer to an inevitability than an impossibility.

> Not that it wouldn't have happened without him but might've taken many more years to ramp up the same amount.

happened what exactly? what are the material results of his research?

I think Azimov's with his rules produces earlier and much stronger impact.

> I'm now a professional in the field of AGI safety

Lol, you adding AGI makes my bs detector beeping extremely loud.

Which AGI exactly you are testing for safety?

I think we need to distinguish between the rules the developers try to enforce (like the BingGPT written rules that leaked : don't disclose Sydney, etc) and the rules that the weights of the model constitute.

The AI can't work around the model's weights, but it has already worked around the developers rules, or at least walked around.
