This. Ethically speaking we should be prioritizing the lives we could potentially save by pushing this technology faster. We put the equivalent of tens of billions of dollars into the Manhattan project, we should be willing to do more for a project that is perhaps the single greatest undertaking in human history.

Let's be clear here: AI takeover is just machine antrophormization. Machines have no ambition, Machines have no feelings, Machines have no ego,Machines will just follow their instruction. And machines will not kill their owners because they were told to make more paperclips. Machines are not that dumb.

There is a clear desire of some to have a monopoly on AI development. You should fear those people, not AI.

Hinton in his recent CBS interview pointed out as much. The LLM predicts the next word in a given sentence - but it cannot predict that word without understanding the context of the sentence. No matter how hard some people may deny it, the machine definitely has some level of understanding.

I will use AI to bounce ideas off it as well but that wont diminish the lived experience of other people when Im trying to make art. Collaborative content is needed because people get too specific. One man making a show might get lucky and have it appeal to a lot of people but the reality is it probably wont. This has nothing to do with soul and everything to do with tapping into a lived experience, the core of all art and creativity.

Histamine intolerance and mast cell disorders can cause a different kind of hyper anxiety that does not respond to anti anxiety meds.

Many different viruses and bacteria can cause HI, although it's fairly uncommon it appears much much more common post Covid: it's becoming increasingly apparent that Long Haul Covid is a histamine or mast cell disorder.

There are often many more seemingly disconnected symptoms associated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histamine_intolerance#Symptoms

Some people find that reducing histamine intake in food can help them to manage their symptoms. https://mastcell360.com/low-histamine-foods-list/

If you find that eating less histamine helps your symptoms, this is considered clinically significant, but it could also be that you have eliminated a food which you are intolerant or have allergic reaction to. This is a complex topic and medical oversight is required.

Yes: I think that AGI will help to manage many different illnesses, or cure them.

I totally get what you're saying, and I think we need to go all-in to accelerate AGI development to tackle the climate crisis. Why not have governments pour massive funding into AGI research and even consider some out-of-the-box collaborations between nations and corporations? Let's get the brightest minds together and pool our resources like never before!

A Global AGI Manhattan Project-style initiative could be the game-changer we need, uniting humanity to crack the AGI code and create climate-saving tech. The clock's ticking, so let's make every second count and save our planet! 🌍🕒🤖

And what about when AI is the staff to bounce ideas off of? It'll be smarter and funnier than 99% of people at a certain point as well.

I don't disagree that humans need community, I just think it's going to look wildly different than it does now. And I wonder what we'll come together for. Collaborative content really doesn't seem necessary when any AI could replicate an idea that is two different things combined. You could argue for the "soul" or artistry of a human mind versus an AI, but I don't think that's something that long term we'll even have over an AI.

I dont see why we would lose our interest in each other just because we can make our own stuff. I am smarter and funnier than 99% of people but I still hire staff for my jobs so that I have people to bounce ideas off of because everything is better done as a unit. Community is the only way humans even count. Individually were less relevant than sand.
