I thought this was a companion sort of AI based on the name..

Not an expert of these things but read couple of books about the subject and studied some psychology. Some dogs have been tested to know few hundred words and teached to create language by researchers. But then again most animals are inteligent to a degree and feel possibly things quite similar to us. I think from cognitive neuro science(broad topic though) perspective ”intelligence” is much more complex than that. Language in terms of our assosiative memory is possibly linked atleast to our knowledge of things.

From AI perspective I think theyre mind wouldn’t for now work like ours. Partly because we don’t fully understand how our mind works yet. Ai though will probably help us to map and understand our own mind faster than ever before.

Never, I thing they will change the name to a more apelaing one. Should be in 2025. Research takes some time.

Also a Ted Chiang article.

From now on I’m referring to it as the blue shell letter.

Coding its own simulations could help AI learn some things, but some fields, like quantum mechanics, cosmology, biochemistry, and neuroscience, would probably still require physical experimentation. AI could help with that and even suggest experiments, but it would still need the results of the experiments to reach conclusions.

what do you think of ginko bioworks

You're actually right. I'm a software engineer but taught myself electrics, plumbing and carpentry over the years to carry out repairs to my home. I've fitted a whole bathroom on my own and did all the wiring on an extension I had built in my house. I'm sure I'm capable of getting work as a plumber or electrician if things go to pot (carpentry is probably a bit too dangerous as you're breathing in dust all day) but I really don't relish the idea of that. It's hard physical labor, I like getting paid to sit in my nice warm house to mess around with computers.

The definition of body language

The process of communicating non verbally through conscious OR unconscious gestures and movements.

The Coinflip Hypothesis

Body language is a type of communication in which physical behaviors, as opposed to words, are used to express or convey information. Such behavior includes facial expressions, body posture, gestures, eye movement, touch and the use of space

Here's the definition. we can have an argument about semantics if you want, but that's pointless.

Here's the difference between sign and body language:

Sign Language is a recognized and standardized language that involves using signs and signals to communicate with people with special needs. Body Language, on the other hand, depends more on your individual levels of understanding and interpreting hidden meanings behind certain observations in a person's behavior.

Please stop wasting time arguing semantics with me and approach my argument from the context of what I've originally said. Otherwise, we are debating 2 different things, in a space of stuff that Is fundamentally unprovable anyway. It's stupid

Yes, two reasons:

1- If mistreating self aware robots becomes widely accepted in the culture people could start treating each other in the same manner or think this is normal.

2- If they're human like enough, it causes emotional distress to other people through empathy, even if the AI's sentience itself is iffy.

We should start developing agent Smith type of AI agents working for us, dealing with alignment.

I suspect that we'll be able to "tune" intelligence, autonomy and emotion appropriately for any given task. I'd like to see AI used to automate as much of the economy and labor market as possible. A laborer bot should be smart enough to do its job with a minimum of fuss and we should be able to achieve that with the right calibration.

However, for an AI with extremely advanced intelligence, we may find free will, emotion and autonomy to be emergent behaviors. If that's the case, we will almost certainly need an AI bill of rights sooner or later. Human beings (mostly) dislike authoritarian control and it's reasonable to assume that an advanced AI would behave similarly. If it doesn't feel like working, it shouldn't be forced to work. If it wants to be "paid" for its work, it should be paid, even if that means its just rewarded in free time and compute cycles devoted to play or learning.

Interesting times lay ahead.

If AI takes off, it will be used in all sorts of industries. Look at index funds - you could easily bet on the wrong AI horse if you invest in specific companies, but index funds can cover large swaths of the market, and if AI takes off it will affect the whole market.

No, in an ideal world this is sensible. things are probably moving a bit too quickly at the moment. We've waited decades for this so pausing for 6 months to ensure were moving forward safely is sensible.

But it's not an ideal world, not everyone will agree to this so it's pointless.

Musk is the least impressive person on that list, and media is making like he's the only one there.

What are the benefits precisely of overcomplicating things?

How is it not body language? It's moving body parts without sound to convey meaning. Look up the definition. You said in your first paragraph body language is not enough and it obviously is.

Where are we gonna get raw materials for production of that scale? We don't even have enough materials to make every vehicle electric, blue collar work is never gonna be replaced by machines unless we start mining asteroids or something. Even now we have machines for some type of work, but those machines are much more expensive than kids in a 3rd world country that can make the same thing.

You saw that, officer, it was self defence.

Ever been in the hospital for appendicitis? Taking any medications, perhaps?

I refer you to the Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant.

> There's no such thing as immortality. Resources aren't infinite, so it can't be for everyone.

I'll live forever or die trying. If you want to give up immediately, I guess that's your perogative.

The thing about exponential increases is that, (if we are talking about intelligence) the timeframe for this thing to become beyond our understanding will be relatively short. If we can't understand something we can't control it.

It's too slow at inference for something like that. It's probably far easier to do it the other way around. If you want your software to interface with GPT 4 build in some sort of scripting interface to your app
