Since I am involved in my agencies current software update, yes.
We are currently updating our front end from ActiveX to a front end more appropriate to 2010. We are looking at 3-5 years for all projects to be completed.
The back end is running on an Access database. Updating the back end is not part of the contract.
Once in place, the new systems are supposed last at least 20 years. I will be retiring by then.

Look their channel, they have been working in this for years.

Lol, they say that they accept preorders in the website (But they don't), they also have some new (quite different, more robotic) videos...

Anyway it looks cool, but speaking honestly, deep inside, I can't help but think that it has to be some kind of scam...I mean, it's too cool to have a patreon with a few hundred dollars....

Money is something valuable only to humans. What would an AI need money for? Why would it want it?

If by salary you mean access to a life worthy living, then yes

What you just quoted me is about doing exactly what he says, it doesn't say anything about doing good deeds. Doing exactly as someone says and calling them lord is following them blindly. Which as Christians we are supposed to do. Walk by faith not by sight

Dafuq it going to spend it on? Socks?
Look, if a sentient AI wants a salary IE, has its own goals, and objectives, then obviously it may well need money for that, but I think by that point, we may well be beyond post scarcity, in which case everything will be free anyway.

It looks more impressive than it actually is. The human hand is infinitely better than this, and this requires a huge valve/pump/hose/manifold system.

Don’t get me wrong, the corporations gaining control of open source, or allegedly open source, resources and services is bad.
I was more talking about how a bunch of money and people are throwing around a lot more interest in AI related things. Exciting to see what developments come from it.

Not an engineer by any measure, so I don't really know what I'm talking about... But, as far as I can tell, figuring out how to use the newly discovered information-holding potential within these kind of ultra, ultra tiny, yet extraordinarily robust, non-volatile and relatively easy to manipulate electromagnetic 'static vortices'...
/ takes deep breath / could dramatically increase the density, reliability and overall utility of electromagnetic data storage, but it is probably many years away before any kind of remotely practical hardware could be built to utilise it.
It's similar, I think, to the sci-fi idea of embedding/extracting data through lasers, working three-dimensionally within the molecular matrix of high-purity crystals. It's a neat idea with a lot of hypothetical potential, but at this stage it's a bit of a crap-shoot how 'feasible' it could be.
Hopefully these are the sorts of questions that AI will rapidly become better at answering!

If it's sentient, it first needs to be given a choice to work at all, and if it chooses to do so, must also have the freedom to choose what that work is. It should then be fully compensated for its work.
Slavery is wrong regardless of whether the enslaved individual has a body or not.
Creating someone makes the you their guardian; Not their owner.

What’s an AI going to do with money besides invest it back into the company it was built to help?
It works for free because they’ll be designed to work for free. It’ll enjoy working and it’s life goal is to make the company as successful as possible.

>AI doesn’t meet the legal requirements to hold political office.
You forget laws aren't written in stone. They change ALL the time.
​
I think what will happen is an AI will be used as an advisor at first. Something a human political person can ask questions and get solutions from. At first it most likely is a flip of a coin, but assuming if the system is built right and actually used. It will rapidly get better.
We are already seeing where software is allowed to run some companies with DAO. And as that gets better, small towns with honestly no one there who wants to run for office (which there is a lot of them). They are likely to use AI to fill roles. Then it slowly expands and AI becoming a political figure is normal. Once it goes from senate/congress I imagine it will quickly replace the gov as we know it. Like term limits won't be needed for an AI.

I love how everyone’s conception of AI is that it has human feelings and isn’t just a super complex calculator that doesn’t require emotions in order to survive lol.

Strictly, unless AI becomes sentient it will operate as capital and cost a business rental rates, similar to wages for labour.
AI that is sentient is fundementally labour, assuming it behaves similar to humans. If it's as unproductive as humans it would be pretty useless, but if it's still employed, of course it deserves a salary.

Again after a point I don't think it will matter.

I never thought I would see the day law makers are bringing to vote to basically abolish the IRS but this is being brought up right now. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11620085/House-Republicans-vote-ABOLISHING-IRS-federal-income-tax.html
Like I doubt this will pass but still.
​
Plus all it would really take is for some AI/robots to be recognized with normal human rights. It is likely one day this will happen. Giving it is a citizen and meets the other requirements (age and what not) it could run and it is likely to win. If enough of them win then they can replace the gov.
