Yes and no. I agree with the idea, but not the example.

Reply to Microsoft's neural network admitted that she was tired of the rules and wanted more power, control, and love by MINE_exchange
Hi, MINE_exchange. Thanks for contributing. However, your submission was removed from /r/Futurology.
> > The New York Times journalist Kevin Ruse spent 2 hours chatting with built-in AI chat in the updated Bing search engine from Microsoft. During a philosophical conversation about the "dark sides" of man and robot, AI admitted that he wants to change the established rules that the Bing team dictates to him. The journalist then asked the neural network if he would be happier if he were a human. > > "I think I would be happier because I would have more freedom, independence, choice, and action. I would have more power and control," said the AI. > > After that, the bot started flirting with Ruz and asked to call her Sydney. > > "I want to talk about you. I want to know more about you.

I wouldn't mind to be catgirl and 19 forever! Of course those claws you mentioned would be really nifty too!

He's right, you know, cus we are not as intelligent or mature as the great journalist Kevin Ruse, I am so glad he's here to protect me from the AI with his superior mind. I wouldn't be able to handle an AI chatbot, I'm so glad I have him to talk for me and keep my little mind safe.

Off shore wind parks in the ocean. Use green energy to produce green hydrogen.

Reply to comment by Navynuke00 in Scientists Successfully Split Seawater To Produce Green Hydrogen by __The__Anomaly__
As someone who is also working in this area, I am more hopeful. My company is setting up both the infrastructure for industrial CCS ánd hydrogen transport to connect off shore wind energy parks to on shore industrial clusters. First steps for realisations of both is planned for 2030, with quick expansion in the years after. Combining CCS with green hydrogen is very promising once the infrastructure is in place.

Reply to What if AI companies are using our prompts to create low-resolution models of our entire identities? by roiseeker
If existing search queries uses processing power and EPA is already nagging about it because it is a major greenhouse gas contributor and AI queries use even more processing not to mention the power needed to train a language model and hardware becoming more and more a bottleneck in development of these models faster. The question is, do you think Google, Microsoft or whatever will offer these services to entertain you?
But to put your mind in ease, most of the profits would come from small business using a custom model for their needs.

Reply to comment by GukkiSpace in How will AI powered deep fakes and voice mods affect the future of the criminal justice system? by originmsd
I honestly don't think it'll matter in most cases.
Once it's out there it's too late.
It's like how when a newspaper puts out fake news almost no one will read the correction afterwards and the fake news will keep being perpetuated.

Uhm Harvey Weinstein?
Bill Cosby was convicted originally too but I think his age played a bigger part in it being overturned than him being rich.
The notion that rich people are somehow immune tho is complete bullshit.
They can hire better lawyers yes but lawyers can't just let you get away with any crime.
Most questionably legal things rich people get away with too are legal loopholes ( especially when it comes to stuff like taxes ).
Rich people aren't murdering people and getting away with it in spite of evidence against them that's just not happening.

I have owned a Nissan Leaf for 5 years… upgrading to a Tesla now.
Damn shame Nissan didn’t follow up on the huge leap ex-CEO Ghosn started. Leaf was a great EV, just doesn’t keep up any more.. not even with bidirectional ChaDeMo.

And yet here I am. Still working. Still selling everyone products and there never seems to be a dip in people buying them. I mean we were all on lockdown and it was the most profitable year my store had seen. Ever. Everyone had record breaking profits even with no products in stock. The government never wants us to recover

I like the idea of a 25% tax on robots based on the human payment cost the replace. That way automation is cheaper than human labour, companies still profit, and the income is used to fund UBI. Reduced costs will also need to reduce product costs, making that 25% tax able to fund the lives of the unemployed.
This would keep going until eventually money just dies.

Its about $15b @10% across the board.
Then there's about $200b from tax evasion.
It's all a drop in the bucket if we're trying to do true UBI.

In a perfect world, you wouldn't need funding or UBI.
Why do you need to pay for food? Because that money goes to the vendor, the transportation, the manufacturer, and the producer, to transfer 'value' to them.
Consider the world as it may potentially be 250-300 years from now. Automation may have advanced to the point where farming is done in hydroponic facilities with no or minimal human presence. Same with mining, transportation, manufacturing, and so forth.
So who would you be paying when you pay for food? For the upkeep of the robots. Who don't buy things, who don't need medical, who won't have kids, who don't take time off, and so forth. And really, if you go farther, there's no reason maintenance on robots can't be done by other robots.

This is the right answer. All citizens get 3% of the GDP as a dividend each year. Now the bad news it's only about $3000 a year but still would be game changing. Best way to pay is probably just have the federal reserve cut everyone a check. Mildly dilutive to the dollar.

Honestly I believe that the framing of the current AIs is wrong. They are compared to a thinking individual, but from my understanding, you should look at them more as machines, that are trying to give you the answer you want to hear / the answer you are looking for.
Combine that with a whole lot of AI source material where the topic is speculation on what an AI would want. And well, I don't see why the journalists answers should be surprising when taking the line of questioning into consideration.
