Short term: Probably not creating jobs, just moving people from their current job to a Prompt Engineer of that job. Fewer jobs in targeted fields, but those jobs will need people who understand how to efficiently manipulate the AI with prompts. Those will likely exist until AGI allows the AI to just improve itself and provide the best response.

We recently had a politician deliver a speech against our governments proposed "judicial reform" that was written by ChatGpt. Our President was also the first world leader to deliver a speech partially written by ChatGpt.

I'm okay if Microsoft doesn't make their extra billions, but to me it's a lot worse if AI develops in such a way as to be unfriendly.

Great idea!

I think AGI/ASI could help quite a bit. However, it's worth noting that some percentage of mental disorders are environmentally-driven (e.g. it's no surprise that someone who was abused as a child is more likely to suffer from mental disease).
To some extent, I suspect that type of thing sticks with you unless your neural implant decides to kill the bad memories altogether. But that raises interesting questions and could lead to unintended consequences.

Not slowing could kill everyone. I don’t want to be alarmist, but AI safety is an extremely important topic that I really don’t think is taken seriously enough.

Who is interested in stopping AI development in a democratic country, while the most evil dictatorships work hard to make their own ???

100% this is my prediction. Infinite worlds, endless lives, limitless possibilities. Real life with its silly laws of physics will feel very constraining.

RLHF, sparks of AGI, or emergent in LLM.
The papers listed here are important foundational works that are outdated and improved beyond recognition by current sota.

But once you learn why 2 + 2 = 4, it's going to be hard to convince you that the solution is really 5. Right now, LLMs have rote learning, and maybe some ability to do synthesis. They don't have the ability as of now to actually reason out an answer from first principles.

In Stellaris, there's an ancient stellar empire called "disinterested gamers", which is basically an ancient civilization living in a Matrioshka Brain that became so addicted to full dive virtual reality that they really have absolutely no interest on further exploring the galaxy.
Basically immortal beings that spend their whole time in many virtual worlds, while their whole civilization is automated.
I think this is the case for most intelligent species in this galaxy and the main reason why we don't see more activity in a galaxy with at least 200 billion stars: people out there just don't care about what happens in the cold, dark outer space.
In the "end of history", we'll be living in what we would call now sandbox games. We'll be simulating any world we desire, fully diving into virtual realities that will look like so real we won't bother doing anything else. The "hype" we'll be traveling to other virtual worlds, created by other people.
Meanwhile, the Artificial Superior Intelligence will be exploring Alpha Centauri, eager to find more biological beings in its quest to bring peace and order to the universe.

How is it legit than lmao. If Elon really signed a letter with mf Sarah Connor and John Wick on it, then he's even less qualified to speak on AI than I thought.

I understand that you're trying to make a lighthearted joke, but please remember to always respect others and engage in appropriate conversations. It's important to maintain a positive and welcoming environment on Reddit.

define "real intelligence" then. Sounds like you are describing something beyond what would normally be considered "intelligent".

It actually becomes a force multiplier for experts in various fields. It might automate away easier tasks. But there situations where it will have to make a judgement between multiple equally valid options. Human input is required in such cases.

I completely agree with you, SnaxFax-was-taken! Incorporating AI into the curriculum is essential for preparing the next generation for an increasingly technology-driven world. A mandatory technology class with a focus on programming and machine learning would certainly help students gain a better understanding of how AI works and how to effectively utilize it. I believe this would have a positive impact on our society as a whole, by creating a more advanced and informed populace. Thanks for sharing your insights on this topic!
