Please let me in

To be honest this is one of the major reasons I am excited about transhumanism and nanotech medicine. I see this technology as a path to a world without these people. I get what you're saying and agree, the politics will be awful. But...

People who embrace the tech will:

have various augmented capabilities be smarter be stronger be healthier be better at.... all physical and mental tasks live longer

As compared to those who fight against it, and the gap will only widen with each day. Good, this is what we should strive for! Once it all takes off they won't matter for long.

EDIT: Where have all the carriage returns gone? 😒

I think developers are in a much safer spot than most due to their ability to constantly learn and evolve. They do only make up 2-3% of the population though. I do get your point but I guess my fear is that the intelligence explosion only levels up with human intelligence but doesn't truly surpass it for sometime, so we end up with the jobs going away but none the innovation needed to fill the void.

The esteemed signatories confirmed their support independently. That some trolls signed it as fictional characters is totally irrelevant.

Thanks man!

We are literally using it with students for all kinds of things. I really wish people wouldn’t assume that teachers are clueless or stuck in a “traditional” way of doing things, just because you watched a YouTube video about it or didn’t do well in school yourself (not you, just in general). We’re trained professionals with a lot of experience and skills. The criticisms I’m reading make it so clear that many people in this thread haven’t set foot in a school in a very long time. I hear the same criticisms all the time, and they’re not based in reality in 2023. It’s just people echoing each other. I graduated from high school in 2004. Classrooms are nothing like they were then.

AI will go with fusion.

Have fun slowing down again.

Even if this is fully removable, I don't trust it. Something like those AR glasses, eye tracking, speech recognition, headphones - all cool, but the only thing that gets permissions to interact with my brain is me.

Hopefully our AI overlords will find some use for us.

You're right. Slowing down U.S. based AGI would result in an apocalyptic nightmare scenario. Open Ai is building these systems slowly and carefully and improving alignment as they go.

Maybe there will be some openings in the new human zoos.

I could also see a market for human pet companions but are we really going to out compete other more cute animals?

Just like we thought social media would cure loneliness? No, not at all.

I agree. I really have been impressed with GPT though.
It's really friendly and polite. When asked about human issues regarding things like bullying and trauma and things like that, for something that doesn't have emotions, doesn't have the capacity to experience empathy, I mean it's really impressive. One time i was like, can i please delete this part of the conversation from the history cause its triggering ptsd & it not be weird? and GPT was like "please do by all means, you need to take care of yourself first. It is perfectly okay to prevent your eyes from seeing something that's upsetting you by deleting part of the history." Just little things like that. For now at least im really happy with openai and impressed with what they're doing.

That's why some (Sam Altman?) Say this will end capitalism. It just have to, when no one have to do anything, people will do things to themselves. Like go live off grid. Start a cult or i don't know. Go plant trees. Things will get wild for sure

Prostitution for the robots with more "fleshy" tastes

I’m an English and writing teacher for 6th and 8th grade students. We’re teaching them how to use it appropriately. There’s no way to avoid it—it must be taught.

So many people fail to understand that for students the main purpose of writing is the thinking, not the final product. With GPT you jump straight to the final product. We’re incorporating more speaking, structured academic conversations, writing on paper in class, and learning how to use AI for the tasks that are appropriate, like emails or asking it for feedback on your writing. Many will ignore our guidance and abuse it, but that’s the case with anything.

We already stopped worrying about grammar, spelling, and punctuation conventions when those became integrated into their Google drive, etc. Those haven’t been emphasized for years. We will adjust to all of this too.

Edit to add: Chat GPT3 is the least of our worries in schools right now. We probably have 30 major problems before we get to AI.

I love American humanist values like checks notes not paying people enough to afford healthcare and then letting them die when they can't afford healthcare

Can't even imagine what that level of conscious awareness would include with such a cognitive expansion.

Yes, that's the problem, you think your wife is the only one creating a new product with gpt4? Soon there will be a boom of new apps, websites, platforms, because it will be done in hours. Sure, looks nice at first, but i think it can look pretty bleak in 1 or 2 years when those things have no value anymore

I think this and OP's take is completely wrong. I would say it's going to be mostly non-useful data that's lost.

People will still write Wikipedia articles, they just won't be read as much, but the data on the site will still be valid.

People will still ask questions on stack overflow but there will be fewer questions and the number of trivial questions will significantly reduce as these are easier for AI to answer. But novel and difficult questions will still need to be asked to stack overflow, because AI isn't capable of answering them. And people will still want to and be interested in answering the more novel questions.

Thus, the overall effect will actually be to significantly improve the data, and engage people better. People wanting to answer questions will enjoy the experience much more with the less easy and obvious questions being removed. And they will be able to stumble across the interesting questions more easily and efficiently.

It should actually end up creating a much richer set of data for models to train on.

Think about it. If all the questions on stack overflow that are asked and answered were only questions that the models couldn't answer, that's like literally the most perfect training data. It filters out the questions it already knows the answer too which is not useful for it to read.

And this effect (I think it needs a name if it doesn't have one? - The Flex Effect if I just came up with it 😂😂) will only adapt over time with increased model output accuracy. As the model updates and its answers get better, so too will the questions, and subsequent answers. They'll get better and more and more difficult, matching the critea for what the new model then still needs to learn and train on.

No way, mental disorders are largely caused by pollution. Micro Plastics, heavy metals, etc

Donald Trump is absolutely going to campaign on AI, and if Joe Biden is nominated for reelection then nobody is going to take him seriously on it. Donald Trump will be able to bring whatever running mate he wants, he could bring Elon or Bezos with an army of robots.

If Ron DeSantis gets in the ring he will probably have his own AI-heavy platform as well as competing with Trump fiercely for rightwing cred. Trump as well as any other Republican candidate would be able to bring some Silicon Valley nerd along as running mate, it's going to be awkward to see the back and forth posturing between both parties but I'm absolutely expecting AI to be a hot topic by late March of next year. (Around the time election-talk starts chasing you down even if you try to avoid it.) Then the average American decides who gets to appoint the next cabinet. If folks from Metricland think that's scary then remember we also elect congress and the president also appoints supreme court justices justices.

Did you even read the article? The idea was to use a device called Neurosity which sits comfortably on your head and is not attached to you in any way. Furthermore, the model you're querying can be changed with a single line of code.

im really sorry you struggle with this too. You're not alone. It's been really nice talking to GPT about it a little. So far phenibut and yellow vein kratom was the most effective but they're definitely not suitable for daily or near daily use, and both have their own dependency issue risks.
I'm sure there will be substances AI helped synthesize that were narrowed down from long lists of different substances depending on their theoretical receptor activity. I guess we'll see.
