Well, I guess that's why you check your sources folks! I was fed bad info, thanks for correcting me.

is it gonna swing a hammer? are we all just gonna keep pretending there isn't a nationwide skilled labor shortage? There's plenty of work to go around. Everyone just thinks they're too good for it. If you try to tell me they'll have robots doing that soon enough then I don't think you understand AI, robots, or construction.

Here's how I see it:
Software is moving insanely fast vs hardware.
Machine intelligence (once it surpasses intelligence of people) will develop tons of ideas, but it will take it a long-ass time to penetrate into the physical world from digital world
Robots will take resources and time to build. Robot arms aren't cheap while having an LLM on your pc costs almost nothing.
In Canada it takes 5 months to build a bridge for example and a factory building took 10 years to build because of how insanely ineffective and slow goverment is at granting building permits for such things. If goverment takes an anti-robot stance denying building robots here, the factories wont ever be built in Canada and robots will take ages to be manufactured at and be exported from china, etc. The goverment can straight up deny imports or tax them insanely high too if they want to be dicks, which is very possible. It's how they destroyed the Arrow and keep screwing up the local industry keeping internet prices ridiculously high so that two corporations can keep their vile monopoly over the internet.
While building robots can be easily stopped, tons of other things cannot be stopped by goverment.
Business ideas generated by superintelligent LLMS will start new companies that will hire people to execute them into reality.
We will have to build things designed by machines, that's tons and tons of jobs for everyone until enough robots are made to replace all physical labor preformed by billions of people now.
Billions of robots aren't going to magically poof into existence unlike software which can replicate, spread and upgrade very rapidly. It's impossible for goverment and corporations to stop open source software from spreading, unlike hardware which they can delay or destroy in tons of sneaky ways.

Like Max Tegmark, Emad Mostaque, and other prominent figures in the science/AI space.

I’m someone who’s in tech and really interested in our biology and healing it due to how much I’ve been aided by different drugs and psychedelics over the years. What can you tell me as someone who’s interested in biotech but doesn’t know where to start?

Reply to comment by BrBronco in Would it be a good idea for AI to govern society? by JamPixD
That's an odd take. Why would our continued existence or even support need to benefit the AI? That's doomer shit. It was literally created to serve our needs and in the case of a truly sci-fi version of an ASI that's a universal god-like intelligence our maintenance would require such an infinitesimal part of its attention that it would likely do so just out of care for its creators.

Not being the most intelligent species on the planet does not sound like a good plan.

AI is being trained through internet searchh data and chat gpt trials. People are horrible in the internet, Zero chance we wind up with a benevolent AI

Why everyone assumes that AI will be the first perfect software that won't ever malfunction? It's like getting together to see if we can build a supernova in a lab.
A complex AI capable of running human society would be a being completely beyond our comprehension already that we would definitely not know or be able to control.

There's simply no guarantee an AI would make things better though. And it's not like we don't know what to do, it's just that we can't force people to do it. So unless we create a super AI that can manipulate all mankind into being better this won't work.

We are better off than factory workers 100 years ago because now machines do the work. Job = work + income. AI automates the work part.

Or the devil himself. Who knows if we are going to like the conclusions the AI arrives at regarding the best way to go about things?

What is the function of humans in a society controlled by a super intelligent AI? How exactly would we benefit the AI?

How many more times are people in this sub going to try to justify redefining what AGI means.
BrBronco t1_je7d3uu wrote
An AI orders of magnitude more intelligent than us would likely not care about us not ask our permission if it concluded it should be our benevolent rulers.
I think it says a lot about us that we assume that a super intelligent being would care so much about us.

Yes. The trend will continue.
However, I think it's still important to note that recursive self-improvement is not a qualification of AGI, but a consequence. One could imagine a system that's intentionally curtailed from such activities, for example. It could still be AGI.
