There’s no void to fill it’s really just a philosophy that embraces the potentiality of technology to augment human form and society. If there is a void that people are looking for transhumanism to fill its the void in our life spans. I could easily do 400 years given how much rapid and radical change we are likely To see. It would be amazing to watch us build the first underwater cities and live in one, or live on a off planet colony. Or even contribute to building them.

i think the point of the universe is to experience every possible experience. you can anthropomorphize those experiences to rate a "good" or "bad" experience but the whole point is to experience everything.

Maybe I phrased it weird at first, but I appreciate that.
And I disagreed to the part that it was shining a bad light on Christians, but we've got that cleared up now.
Happy new year! If its not too late to say that lol

But in regards to any specific timeline, I believe we can expect the emergence of first-generation AGI shortly after the complete plateauing of Moore's Law, circa 2032.

This has more to do with you than me.
It feels weird being the bubble burster as the believer... lmao. Just a weird reversal of roles, just noticing the observation, when does that ever happen? Lol.

Has that happened?

For me my purpose is living as long as I can or until I get bored, suffering as little as I can manage and having as many experiences that are new and enjoyable as possible, and shaping myself into what I perceive as the most ideal version of me. All those things would be furthered by transhumanism. If you perceive your life to have a different meaning that’s ok but these are the things that motivate me.

Ok, I mean you clearly don’t know how language models work. It is trying to predict the next words that would come after your prompt, so it essentially stipulates everything you write as a starting point.

Right now models seem to be getting much better when they are scaled up. They are also currently pretty dang cheap compared to any kind of real industrial infrastructure. Single and double digit millions is nothing to governments and corporations like Google. Even without architecture improvements, what does a $10 billion AI look like?
So I'd honestly not be that shocked if we have a "universal knowledge worker" type service by 2025 that offers you an "employee" with the reasoning ability of an average undergraduate but with the knowledge base of the whole internet.

Reply to comment by 2bdb2 in So wait, ChatGPT can code... But can't code itself? by Dan60093
ChatGPT can't code better than a first year but DeepMind's AlphaCode can certainly code better than ever most median quality developers.
So let's rephrase the question to focus on AlphaCode instead of ChatGPT.
How does that change your response, if at all?
