psychiatry has convinced you and many other people that you have disorders, when you have, instead, maladaptive coping mechanisms and deficits. with the attitude that you *don't* have disorders, you can go a lot farther as far as unlearning these behaviors.

Yeah, they removed the OG post on /r/StableDiffusion pointing out he had signed it/commented on it with lots of active discussion on the post - marking it as "Unrelated to Stable Diffusion"...

...they let the "fake signatures" post that's currently on the rise remain though 🙃

Under my definition (the only correct one), AGI would have the power of recursive self improvement and would therefore very rapidly become exponentially more powerful. So if you start with human level AGI, you will soon reach ASI within months or maybe just a matter hours. Also, even narrow AI is superhuman at the things it can do well. E.g. a calculator is far better at basic arithmetic than any human. If an AI were really a general purpose machine, then I can’t see how it would not be superhuman instantly at whatever it does, if only because it will produce results much faster than a human. For these reason, the definition of ASI collapses into AGI. Like I said, my definition is the only correct one and if you don’t agree with me, you are wrong 😑.

I think it will be used to make massive amounts of micro gig work by intimately knowing everyone in a country and matching supply with demand amazon/uber style.

basically I think you will be able to just ask AI for anything and it will offer you a price and contract out that work to whoever is nearby.

Rote learning can still get you there. Because as you compress statistics and brute knowledge into smaller and smaller sizes, understanding needs to emerge.

For example, a LLM can memorize that 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 1+3=4,.... Until infinity. Then 2+1=3, 2+2=4,... Etc. But that results in a lot of data. So if the neural network is forced to condense that data, and keep the same knowledge about the world, it starts to understand.

It realizes that by just understanding why 1+1=2, all possible combinations are covered. By understanding addition. That compresses all infinife possibilities of additions into one package of data. This is what is going to happen with LLM and what chief scientist of Open AI said is already starting to happen. Source.

AI needs input parameters.

IF we all vote on the goals or long term destination of task parameters of the AI.

Then we can agree on such a ruler.

It may replace daily admin jobs for the social services that are fixed and repetitive.

People can still resolve exceptional fail cases for other hoomans.

What our parents/grandparents advertised: instant gratification.

What they delivered: perpetual zombie state.

Gratification would mean stuff like getting paid on time, being able to drive to work instead of wondering if the bus is going to show up, being able to go to entertainment venues and socialize in person - gratification would mean the economy being in order. Voting different didn't bring this so I'm hoping AI will.

>We'll all get laid off!

>First time?

The 'gratification' people speak of is the content people generate and share on the internet, which is often about as gratifying as a kidney stone with or without AI involved.
