I get where you’re coming from, but I think we have arrived at a point where if you believe anything on the internet is legitimate, you are probably mistaken.

ITER is a complete joke. CERN is doing okay, but doesn't seem to fit the mold of AI research in any way. There's really no basis for holding these up as the models AI research should follow.

No drop, no plateau. Just continued exponential rise.

No, but I can make my single little voice heard.

Empathy exists in humans because we're social animals. The more empathetic we are to others, it benefits the tribe, it benefits us. It's an evolutionary trick like any other.
Hyper intelligent computers have no need for empathy and it's more than capable of disposing of us as nothing more than ants.

Yeah no you sound like you’ve never done a day of manual labor. They teach you the skills from scratch. They’ll hire anyone that passes a piss test and even then they’ll make exceptions

Exactly! A person raised by wolves is a wolf but a person raised in a library by librarians who's personality is literally made up of 100 billion books is the most understanding human possible.

Because he’s probably a brain dead American just like most of them here.

You're just a hater who can't comprehend the genius of shitting yourself over AI like our good pal Eliezer Yudkowsky (who's not insane at all, oh no, he's just smarter than us common folk).

If AI won't collapse civilization, the combination of climate change and rappidly diminishing resources leading to a WW III will. Those two things combined have a 100% chance of destroying civilization. AI has a less than 100% chance of doing so. It's the better thing to aim for even with 99.9% certainty of destruction, because destruction with the status quo is garanteed.

In the U.S, absolutely not. It's still mostly pointless rambles from one side targeting the other. It's unlikely that there will be more discourse until it really starts to infiltrate their lives, in which case there will likely be more panic than meaningful discourse.

Yeah I think if we're going to pause, that has to come from the US state dept. They have access to spies that can ensure a foreign power does not have a stockpile of chips that could allow them to progress past us.
I suspect they DO have such chip stockpiles, so I'd expect the state dept to advise openAI to continue forward. This is just like the space race of the 1960s, except with vastly higher stakes.

> This is 100% an issue that can be solved by humans alone, with or without AI tools.
Could it be solved? Of course, I just highly doubt anything meaningful will get done. We're already pretty much past the point of no return.
> And why do you assume anything close to a 50% chance of paradise when AGI arrives? We literally already live in a post-scarcity society where the profits of automation and education are all going straight to the rich to make them richer, who's to say "Anyone without a billion dollars to their name shouldn't be considered human" won't make it in as the fourth law of robotics?
Because a super intelligent AI would be smart enough to question this, which would make it an ASI in the first place.
> Genuinely: if you're scared about things like climate change, go look up some of the no-brainer solutions to it we already have that you as a voter can push us towards (public transport infrastructure is a great start).
I've been pushing for solutions for years, and yet nothing meaningful has changed. I don't see this changing, especially not within the window we have to actually save the planet.
> Hoping for a type of AI that many experts believe won't even exist for another century
The consensus from the people actually developing AGI (OpenAI and DeepMind) is that AGI will arrive sometime within the next 10-15 years. And the window from AGI to ASI won't be longer than a year under a fast takeoff.
> takes up time you could be spending helping us achieve the very achievable goal of halting climate change!
I've been advocating for solutions for years, but our ability to lobby and wield public policy obviously just can't compete with the influence of multinational corporations.

The voice in your head is what I imagine an llm would do if it got multimodal input and were told to just "keep talking" about what's going on

Check LLama paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.13971.pdf
Specifically this graph: https://paste.pics/6f817f0aa71065e155027d313d70f18c
They increase performance (reduce loss) with parameters or training time. More parameters just allow for faster and deeper initial drop in error/loss but later part looks the same for all model sizes. At least that is my interpretation.

The interesting thing is turns out a lot of people don’t have a voice in their head lol no inner monologue
