Corp exists to make money. If AGI gets them ahead of the competition and makes them money then yes they will.

The recent and incredibly rapid advancements in AI suggest we're far closer to AGI than anyone assumed a few years ago. The next 5 years will see radical changes to every facet of life, AI will act as an accelerator for progress in nearly every field.

Yeah, the invention of AGI is often referred to in science fiction as the technical singularity, because the speed of AI makes the future beyond that point literally unknowable. If we can keep it from killing us, it should advance our technologies at a tremendous rate.

If an AGI were released to the general public, it would be devastating. Think of the worst thing you could do with a nimble AI that can learn and do anything, and it's only a matter of time before someone would use it for that purpose. The power of an AGI would be akin to a nuclear bomb, but for anything connected to the internet.

There are trolls and terrorists and mercenaries who would use it to pwn corporations and governments, disabling or even destroying public utilities, banks, hospitals, and rival entities. Not all of these entities are vulnerable, but enough would be that the attacks would completely disrupt trade and economies, and possibly the world economy. The US, Russia, China, and North Korea would not hesitate to obtain and weaponize AGI.

thats what i m saying - why to think about all of them will do same? There are a lot of corporations managed by new age people with new age goals and minds

Nah, there's nowhere in the post that says that the corporations are evil. However, if they really had an AGI, then they wouldn't release it to the public.

Yeah, I would initially say that's a good model, until you realize the amount of hardcoded assumptions just like with the weather.

Simply put, we can actually realistically model way to few accurate components to actually be able to tell if it's just math on paper, or actually viable.

What you can do, is take a look at some Nasa pics, and see how the earth locked back then, and now, and see where the green went, and correlate some things.

But what do I know...

oh oh oh corporations corporations evil evil oh oh

I’m still not convinced of the merits of hydrogen as an effective, eco-friendly fuel source but could it be any worse than the current fuel used by long haul carriers to fly aircraft halfway across the world? We’re moving towards futuristic aircraft like this (perhaps not for several decades) but by the time it’s in service, we may have found a better fuel source.

Right, the article compares the energy cost of disassembling planets to the energy that could be collected by the Dyson sphere you could build from the materials.

Would a corporation need to?

If you create the model there's a good chance open source is within a few years of also creating that model. You would only have dominance for a short while, relatively speaking, unless your AGI created the next AGI, in which case there will be two exponential curves separated by a short distance.

The corporation that creates a functioning AGI first is going to be world wide player like we have never seen before. I think the biggest concern is can they control it. The only limitation to it's ability to expand itself is computational power. The future is going to be wild.

In fairness the article also talks about meter-thick solar panels, and concludes that it's easily worth it that way. And in most scenarios it's talking about partial coverage.

A meter seems like a reasonably fair estimate, if you include things like power transmission equipment, factories and spaceships for replacing panels, etc. Doesn't matter if you can go even thinner, since a meter thick already works great.

It all comes down to monetizing that AGI. If it worked on internal projects only and did not need to interact with customers, then your example is likely correct. But if the AGI can become the product and they can sell access to it? They’ll be rich.

If a corporation thinks its gonna be profitable it wlill do anything, no matter what, because that is the point of a corporation. A corporation will fuck your mother if it thought it will make money off it .

Too likely to be rejected and risks polluting the body. Not to mention any damage cannot be repaired. The replaceable nature of cells is an advantage for longevity if we can improve their function.

This is pretty old news in the cancer biology field and even older news in the Glycobiology field but I'm happy to see it going more mainstream!

The main mechanism behind mucin/glycocalyx mediated immune evasion is increased levels of sialylation of mucin glycan structures. These densely sialylated proteins interact with a class of immune modulating proteins on immune cells called Siglecs (sialic acid binding immunoglobulin like proteins). These Siglecs bind sialylated structures and tell immune cells to ignore otherwise antigenic cells.

Researchers are trying a couple of different ways to address this, one of my favorites involves a chimeric antibody with a sialidase domain attached. I believe that one was the Bertozzi lab (a recent Nobel prize winner) and that one is already well into clinical trials.

Your post was removed. Low effort.

"General intelligence" is an intelligence that is capable of any kind of intelligence. Sentience is a kind of an intelligence. We have yet to have a sentient AI. Not even close.

It makes no sense for a corporation to release a golden duck laying goose to the public. If they really have an AGI, then they can just use it to produce as much innovations as possible. They can just fire every employees except for a few. People have way too much wishful thinking because they so badly want to believe that people have created an AGI.

And why would a corporation release an AGI to the public? It's a golden duck laying goose, they would not let their rivals have access to such a thing even if they have it. It makes no sense and people are eating up corporate PR like the gullible fools that they are.

Corporations only release things that "moderately useful", not revolutionary on the scale of AGI.

WHO said depression will be the number one killer in the world inside of 30 years.

have a nice day!

I used MIT's climate policy simulator to order its climate policies from least impactful to most impactful. You can see the results here.

Hey do you like math?

China 1.2 billion people USA 330 million

China 4x population but only 2x emissions. Per citizen US emits 2x as much carbon.

What's it like living in the Foxxtrap?
