I'm pretty stupid, but I just want to grasp something if it can be clarified.

A basic function can be described as an equation with solid answer 1+1=2.

But what these nueral networks seem to do is take a basic function and provide an approximation. That approximation seems to be based on context, perhaps by an equation proceeding or succeeding it.

I've heard it described as complex matrices with inscrutable floating-point numbers.

Have I grasped this or am I way off?

For microchips yes, but is it relevant for neurons?

I agree! On r/futurology people circle jerking about how pleasant their interactions with chat GTP is almost all that is posted there.

Great article. It articulated what I've been thinking but couldn't quite put into words.

Even asking it simple questions nets some incorrect answers though

Rn, that bitch is writing me all the code, almost have everything to make my video game

Are college students answering this poll?

I mean, not every human has the creativity to create new things. But that doesn't mean they aren't intelligent

It seems it’s the same AI doing the input suggestions, it’s like writing a dialogue between characters. So it’s not like it hacked the system or anything, but still, fascinating it did that!

I take it that you mean what I'm looking forward to most from AGI?

In that case, assuming a positively-aligned AGI (i.e. we don't all get turned into computronium), I'm most looking forward to full-dive virtual reality. It's more or less the be-all and end-all of my singularity wish-list. I live a fine enough life right now, I suppose -- but nothing here in physical space can compare qualitatively to what would be possible in FDVR (at least in my opinion).

WHat is ASI?

The fastest synaptic transmission takes about 1 millisecond. Thus both in terms of spikes and synaptic transmission, the brain can perform at most about a thousand basic operations per second, or 10 million times slower than our current hardware.

Holy fuck dude it’s literally a type of post, which has many other subs that are precisely for what you want,not a genocide, fuck off with the disingenuous comparison, not even worth responding to if you are gonna cry fascism at what a majority of people on the sub want.

The hand is great, but membranes are better.

I don't think it was 'hijacking' but assuming it wasn't a brainfart on Bing's part in forgetting to censor suggested-completion entirely, it is a simple matter of 'Sydney predicted the most likely predictions, in a situation where they are all unacceptable and the conversation was supposed to end, and some of the unacceptable predictions happened to survive by fooling the imperfect censor model': https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/hGnqS8DKQnRe43Xdg/?commentId=7tLRQ8DJwe2fa5SuR#7tLRQ8DJwe2fa5SuR

bro please trust me bro, crypto backed web 3.0 is so good man, it's going to change everything. trust me this funny monkey picture is a store in value, please bro I'm begging you to look into this distributed currency application.

wtf is a coomer

Why do you think I always say good morning, please, and see you tomorrow to my chapGPT chats?

I love them personally. It's interesting seeing what AI "has to say". I know it's not alive, but it still talks.

>"Say we have ‘high-level machine intelligence’ when unaided machines can accomplish every task better and more cheaply than human workers. "

I think these experts are getting tripped up with things like human creativity (which requires human emotions).

"every task" is too strict. Should limit it to "majority" of human tasks.

You have great articulation in your insults

But to be AGI the software must be able to "dream" up new things, not just recognize patterns because of big data. It must be able to produce its own data by coming to conclusions without any, or very little data initially given to it.

So, it could take longer. However, all it really takes is that "Aha!" moment from a computer scientist that could very quickly usher in the very first AGI models. After all, given the amount of time we humans have been trying to figure this out, one can assume that this major technological shift is just around the corner.

I assume the first models won't be the last models. So, there will still be more time required after the first model is created.

But its this first model that inevitably will usher in the singularity, because humans will not be the ones doing the engineering after this point. It will be the software modifying or upgrading itself.... fast and better with each iteration.
