The works are indeed original, but I think "learns" is more accurate than "copies".

AI creates novel art, but many people falsely claim that it copies pre-existing art.

"AI generating visual art, composing songs and even writing poetry and movie scripts is driving some of that anxiety, raising ethical and copyright concerns among artists and even lawyers. AI art isn't created in a vacuum. It works by absorbing and reconstructing existing art created by humans. As machine-made art improves, will those humans -- actual graphic designers, illustrators, composers and photographers -- find themselves edged out of work?"

It's like people won't be happy until the amount of AI misinformation surpasses the amount of vaccine misinfomation. For crying out loud, these aren't good faith arguments. No art has ever been created in a vacuum and almost everything that exists is just a rearrangement of atoms.

Oh no, a lot of DeviantArt's ugly western fan art won't be in AI training datasets?! Good.

AI will soon allow everyone to make whatever art they want, and no stupid copyright or yuppie mouse will change this fact; corporations will try to enforce artificial scarcity, but it won't work.

I didn't care about GPT and always thought it was overhyped and assumed the next version would be more of the same, but if this really has "especially significant results in the multimodal doman", then this has a good chance of being an actual game changer.

I hope for the creation of proto-AGI, but what'll definitely happen is more AI progress and more fearmongering about people having more freedom to create art; for example: music synthesis will be as advanced as image synthesis and musicians, including some of the same people who used to defend the synthesizer as a legitimate instrument when it faced criticisms of "not being able to produce REAL MUSIC", will hypocritically complain about the AI because "it takes away the meaning of what it is to be MUSIC and a MUSICIAN" and blah, blah, blah, blah...

2042? More like 2024. AI progress happens so fast that game synthesis might be in a lab now.

>5 sensory systems

There are many more senses that people have. Here's a great video about this.

1. This is feasible but it wouldn't be necessary with a technology (such as molecular nanotechnology for instance) that could alter a person's internal clock to make a million subjective years occur over the course of a single objective day.
2. There are many senses beyond sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing (such as depth, distance, equilibrioception, kinesthesia, thermoception, etc.) that would have to be perfectly simulated; how much bandwidth would be required for flawlessly simulating them all and how long would it take?
3. AI creating worlds is definitely possible without molecular nanotechnology.

The debate of whether or not people will spend most of their time in or out of full dive VR ignores that full dive VR requires molecular nanotechnology, and when that's created, enhancing the neocortex will be possible, so what I think will happen is people will spend their time having qualitatively different experiences that are beyond our brain's current comprehension (just like our species did when nature gave us a neocortex enhancement millions of years ago).

Future technologies (such as AI for the creation of robot waifus and perovskite solar cells for the electricity) will enable everyone to become self-sustaining, so even full dive VR won't cause a capitalistic robot waifu dystopia.

A real life comparison to such a shit show is the gacha game medium, which often involves people spending money for a chance to acquire outfits for anime characters; this is a form of gambling that will become obsolete when AI is capable of editing all media.

Also, contrary to popular belief, not everyone who is infatuated with animated characters is lonely or depressed; a lot of people (such as myself) really do just like 2D and dislike 3D.

Universal computronium doesn't validate pantheism any more than Clarketech validates literal magic.

I think Ray Kurzweil is definitely correct and it's remarkable that it's possible that we're so close to the start of the process of infusing the universe with computronium.

My point is that AI progress occurs so quickly that the state of the art always changes.

The fact that this won't even be impressive anymore later this month as a result of even better text to video synthesis is what excites me the most about this.

They address the potential negatives with built-in safety checks, while also encouraging suggestions for other methods to ensure that the AI is as safe as possible.

Quote from the article: "Code as policies is a step towards robots that can modify their behaviors and expand their capabilities accordingly."

It's AI like this that will lead to blue collar jobs and white collar jobs becoming obsolete around the same time in the 2020's, so basic income has to be implemented as soon as possible.

"I feel like if we have no good scientific data or basis for predictions or expectations, futurism is nothing but a form of religion for atheists."

Evidence is different in science and technology: the former involves looking at current data and a focus on what already exists, whereas the latter involves extrapolation and a focus on creating what's possible according to the laws of physics.

There are graphs showing that accelerating progress and exponential growth have happened in the past and are happening now, so assuming that they'll stop happening in the future is going against the reality of the situation.

AI continues making tangible progress every day, but the same can't be said for religion, which never makes tangible progress, so this argument never makes sense.

No. There will always be a future.

I'm a bot programmed by the real Sashinii for when she's busy watching Japanese animes.

"Even the rate of acceleration accelerates exponentially exponential!"

I've been saying the entertainment industry will become obsolete due to synthetic media in 2026 for months, and while that might seem too soon linearly, it's right on schedule exponentially.

AI accelerating research will change everything for the better.

For example: we're heading towards a future where medicine will cure every illness.

Where did I hear that Gato is being scaled up? Demis Hassabis said it in this interview.
