The reason government take no action because unemployment was never more than 50%. More like 5%. I think this is obvious, not?? Oh you think governments can ignore 50% unemployment??

I think they mean “man becomes the machine” basically.

I agree partially, but I'm sure we've barely scratched the surface on what is possible with the knowledge that we already have and has already been proven by scientists. They might come up with novel solutions that are more or less correct that don't need extensive real world testing and be able to change the world very quickly that way. There are mathematicians who's work is entirely theoretical and haven't been applied to the real world, then suddenly a use is found for their stuff 30-50 years later.

I mean they do the same job, technology just changes some details of their life. Life itself in 1990 wasn't that different if you think about it. Same sociopolitical system, same goals in life.

And yes, this time change will be bigger, as system and life itself will be altered.

People have to understand the dire state our planet is in.

There is little chance we can make it through the 22nd century in a decent state.

The cock is ticking…

What do you mean?

My better half is a marketing manager for a s&p100 company and has a 8 figure marketing budget.

Big companies like that tend to outsource a vast amount of the actual marketing work to agencies. (copywriting, data acquisition/analysis, digital ads, print media ads etc etc.) essentially all content generation.

Her LinkedIn is therefore packed with dozens of these agencies and hundreds of individuals from the higher-cost end of that industry. There have definitely been some redundancies but at the moment its more like freelance contracts arent being renewed, recruitment is paused and there is vastly less work to do.

These people are obviously vocally uneasy about even thier short term futures though.

We can´t rule out that the superior beings wont be conscious. They might do amazing things with the universe but if "there is nobody home" these amazing things would just be a play for empty benches.

The examples he might be using will be outdated, however, his framework around AI and the definition of AGI versus Singularity are still very relevant.

I would suggest that people interested do some research on Peter Diamandis (in the end both established the Singularity University).

Peter's book - The Future Is Faster Than You Think: How Converging Technologies Are Disrupting Business, Industries, and Our Lives is a good one. He has a podcast interviewing business leaders in the industry. He is very into the Longevity topic. This is another area that is exploding which so few people are aware of. (check out r/longevity)

David Sinclair is a must-follow on this subject, check out his podcast to get started. He is really into something. (as well as many other researchers as well of course)

Next step garlic cheese bread with herbs.

Ok, disregard his view. Go look at the majority of the views of the rest of the experts. They arent proclaiming this the start of the birth of AGI, ASI and the singularity like this sub is now doing on a daily basis. They are pretty clear that generative AI is a very transformative technology but it is NOT AGI. Nor do we have have any reason to think its close. Most estimates (guesses) are still 2030 or beyond

The thing that got me thinking was when they started talking about machine time vs human time. If the human brain operates at 200Hz and has to sleep mode for 1/3 of the day every day and AI would run at gigahertz speeds 24/7 our reaction time if something does go sideways would be limited if we have any at all.

It feels like we're a bug confidently flying across the road to a big beautiful flower unaware of the oncoming windshield.

in fact it is called: "The Singularity Is Nearer" (You can google it)

China cuts corners on safety, AI will be the same.

no offense but sam altman is a better salesman than anything. you’re gonna take the word of the guy who said they need to increase regulations on companies other than his? my ass

Difference is this time the new means of production will also have an opinion hat to throw into the ring.

You dont need to hope. Just go read the views of the majority of experts on the subject (and not just one)

I'm not. I actually do think (completely guessing) that humans create an AGI before 2032, but the hysteria and hype (and in the process the complete failure to understand how these systems work to produce the content they do) on this subreddit is reaching levels of complete delusion due to the echo chamber

Whilst this is correct, 1+1=2 will still be true whether there is someone to observe it or not.

I really hope you are right

Not that I’m in the AGI in 2025 camp or anything, but don’t be naive to Sam’s incentives here.

Well this isn't private sector right? CERN is nothing like OpenAI.
