Elites in most democratic countries are elites because of money which will become redundant with AI. If you make all your money selling consumer goods and there are no consumers you won't be so rich. There are also people who are truly resource and production rich and they will prosper with AGI.

But there are also other kind of elites, power elites, who mostly are in the goverment or other big entities that nearly like one(say like samsung in Korea). These are going to have the greatest incentive to keep AI for themselves. So wherever there are more elites with unchecked powers like in China, Russia, Iran etc it is likely the people will get ignored or kept barely satisfied cut off from rest of the world.

I never said that. I meant it doesn't measure a lot of things because most of those things are common.

Yeah. But forever is a long time. I'd settle for having the ability go out on my own terms.

What's stopping us? Other than not having the tech, a lot of what you think you are is tied down to the body. Easier to create AGI than upload minds. Both will be revolutionary.

IQ tests lose relevance completely on non human subjects. If LLM's were trained for IQ tests they would be exceptional at it, but they may still not be able to have a simple conversation. IQ tests presume that a great deal of abilities to be normal and common to all humans. AI could lack a lot of them and still beat all humans on IQ tests.

Resistance is futile, strength is irrelevant.

But in all fairness, augmenting or enhancing bodies through biological or artificial means does not mean we become a hive mind.

Coping mechanism. Some can't handle the overstimulation of seeing something too often. It overwhelms their brains.

From someone who has thought of similar things a while ago, it is very difficult to beat the established companies. These people were doing AI decades ago and the probability of you beating them alone is abysmal. Better to build a company in something else that might benefit from AI.

This is not easy money like bitcoin was. You can't just hodl your way to billions.

Sharing nudes without consent is illegal. If every tiny change in tech had to be included in law it would be utter chaos.

It wasn't so far?

If you think that then you are brainwashed. Left wing/Right wing media show pick stories that promote their own narratives. Laws made to help some completely ignore harm being made to others. Worse they think the other side should just take it and bear the pain.

A significant chance maybe but not >50%. A great deal of ML teams have been lost, companies that developed open source tools like meta, Google have lost a lot of their stock value. The recession will undoubtedly have an impact.

He just upgraded it

Elon mostly just fired a lot of ML related teams. Lol.

Hope they don't copyright voices. Something that can be easily achieved should never be copyrighted. If we can create artificial singer voices and enjoy creating our own music, it will be a mini musical revolution.

Augmentation itself can create singularity. So no arguments there but augmentation is much more difficult a problem to solve than creating AGI. Undoubtedly AGI will come well before it.

Nothing is future proof. The whole point of calling it a singularity is that it's unpredictable.

For how long though

It's impossible to keep up as AI gets better and better, faster then any human could possibly retrain themselves

All possibilities occur. There is no free will when everything that can happen happens.

'rarely is value created for nothing'. Well hope it gets more common because post singularity none of us will have any real value.

Have a good financial condition. Save enough to survive 2 years on your own. Likely you will not need much because if a lot of people are jobless, UBI will be given soon. It's a lot easier if you reduce expenses to as little as possible. Most people just spend large parts of income on rent, but if there is no job, no point in living in an expensive place closer to nowhere now. Rents will drop heavily in such areas.

Because those emotions were created for a social environment with similar beings.

A physical zoo can be as big as reserve or even a planet. Terraforming is still cheaper than planet simulation.

You clearly underestimate how energy intensive full quantum level simulations are.

Necessity is what I'm arguing about. Feelings like the ones primates have are relevant only in the context of primates. Apes thinking evolved humans will simulate them to learn about them is just as stupid as humans thinking post-humans would. One, because it's unnecessary since it's easier to create a literal physical zoo and two we don't waste a lot of energy doing ape simulations precise to the quantum level because it's expensive energy wise.

Self-improve is misleading. Feeding outputs like they do is still just optimization. Self Improvement would somehow imply it can gain unforeseen abilities, not a small improvement over the existing. Also it would imply that it can keep doing the same forever. This cannot, otherwise we would see AGI now and not a few percent increment

You will have better luck getting to know that by asking Sam Altman on Twitter than here. This is asked so many times that my answer now is, we'll get there when we get there.
