Reply to New agi poll says there is 50% chance of it happening by 2059. Thoughts? by possiblybaldman

> ‘HLMI’ was defined as follows:
The following questions ask about ‘high–level machine intelligence’ (HLMI). Say we have ‘high-level machine intelligence’ when unaided machines can accomplish every task better and more cheaply than human workers. Ignore aspects of tasks for which being a human is intrinsically advantageous, e.g. being accepted as a jury member. Think feasibility, not adoption.

I think the bottleneck here is robotics. We might have human-level intelligence in a digital-only form a lot sooner than we will be able to build a humanoid robot with human-level dexterity, speed and strength. And it will be even longer until such a robot is cheaper than human labor.

My issue with censoring posts is that it only leads to issues. Someone on the backend has to decide what can be posted. In the beginning it seems ok. But then it becomes hard to determine the threshold for which posts to cutoff.

Reply to comment by Peribanu in And Yet It Understands by calbhollo

This was cross posted in r/bing, that’s how I got here haha. Still browsing.

I’ve already seen a bunch of spooky/awesome examples, but I was under the assumption that the AI is always acting as a character interacting with another character. So this particular one is really blowing my mind, as it seems the AI somehow understood this might be a real situation, and cared enough to break the "input suggestion" character and insist on saving the child.

Reply to Been reading Ray Kurzweil’s book “The Singularity is Near”. What should I read as a prerequisite to comprehend it? by Golfer345

One thing I don't like about Kurzweil's take on the Singularity, is that he attributes it to "The Law of Accelerating Returns", that is not an actual law, but something I think he invented.

For a much more scientific and thorough explanation of why the increased complexity will lead to the Singularity I recommend "The Romance of Reality" by Bobby Azarian, where he explains how it is the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (entropy increases in closed systems), is the one that predicts the increased complexity in open systems.

It is far more scientific and accurate.

LMAO no, its YOU guys who need to make a new sub.

It's not being censored, you are crying about wanting it to be censored, but guess what?

YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE!

You are the one that needs to go make a new sub and stop complaining and mucking up this sub with useless cry baby threads.

the actual audacity on you weirdos is NUTS to me. GO MAKE ANOTHER SUB IF YOU DONT LIKE IT!

All you are going to do is make people like me now make these threads more. Just ignore the threads if don't like them! Why is that so hard for you to do? Why would you rather cry about censoring them instead?

Stop thinking you have any power here, Donald Trump.

edit: this PYSCHO blocked me on here, but he is crying because he can't just ignore threads he doesn't like. Dude needs help like for real.

That’s literally the point of this entire fucking website. People make subs for a topic they like and moderate it to keep it on topic. If you want to see this and the other people here don’t, make a new sub. Regardless, it’s not wanted here.

"Nothing popular can be wrong!," says dull troll. "How dare you have preferences, unless you're a super genius."

Fuck your abusive rhetoric, fuck your irrational motivations, and to the extent allowed by any sub with well-meaning but ultimately harmful demands for unearned respect, fuck you personally.

A stranger on the internet dryly criticized the actions of large groups. You spat venom about imaginary individual failings. Re-evaluate how you use the internet, you wound-up patience vampire.
