So what? Baseball players could be disproportionately gay, but thinking baseball is stupid wouldn't make you homophobic.

The furry community is, disproportionately, young gay and bisexual males.

>Anti-furry sentiment is basically homophobia for zoomers and millennials

Lmao gtfoh

Unless you want to slap down some credentials about it, you can't make that kind of claim with any credibility.

There is already work done and being improved upon to introduce parsing to LLMs, with mathematical, logical, and symbolic manipulation. Tying that kind of LLM together with other models that it can reference for specific needs, will have results that aren't easily predictable, other than that it will vastly improve the shortcomings of current publicly available models; it's already doing so while in development.

Having that kind of system able to loop back on itself is essentially a kind of consciousness, with full-on internal dialogue.
Why wouldn't you expect emergent features?

You say I'm ignoring what AI "can't currently do", but I already said that is a losing argument. Thinking that the state of the art is what you've read about in the past couple week means you're already weeks and months behind.

But please, elaborate on what AI currently can't do, and let's come back in a few months and have a laugh.

Do you think furries care? Anti-furry sentiment is basically homophobia for zoomers and millennials; sexual minorities live with abuse every day.

People falling in love with AI are so far out of the mainstream that social approval is irrelevant.

I imagine AI waifus would be roasted and be looked down upon even worse than furries in the future if that happens

I don't like china, just fyi.

>The rules and guides for a lot of safety measures are written in blood, ways to make sure that dire mistakes can never happen again.

Admittedly. But when you get an experimental vaccine In less than a year, but at the same time, have to wait 10+ years to access new cancer therapies (even though cancer will kill you) it upsets me, primarily due to the inability for normal people to make their own decisions and take their own risks.

>I do also feel that rules and guidelines need to be updated to reflect reality.

Often, what happens instead is that the rules and guidelines are set up to dictate reality. Immunotherapy is a fine example, it's original founders were colored as quacks, and now it has become one of the most groundbreaking developments in cancer treatment.

Also, laws are very very rarely repealed or removed.. There are still laws that say you can't have a pie cooling on your windowsil in order to prevent attracting bears... Even though the bears in said location were eradicated lifetimes ago.. Adding sunset clauses to laws would be a great first step. Make it so all laws need to be renewed after a set amount of time

I've heard plenty said about the societal level benefits of a one party rule country, e.g. being able to plan ahead without fear that it will get stopped or defunded when an apposing party comes to power. This has allowed for a lot more progress in terms of planning and infrastructure than otherwise would.

However the downside of such a thing is that there is lack of care to the individual, and at some level, ends justifying means.

The rules and guides for a lot of safety measures are written in blood, ways to make sure that dire mistakes can never happen again.

I feel there was a very real benefit to this at the speed everything moves at, drugs can be proscribed along with a verbose list of side effects and cofounding medication.

I do also feel that rules and guidelines need to be updated to reflect reality. e.g. as drug simulation becomes better it should be relied on more, I feel regulations should alter in lock step with how easy it is to verify drugs in silico.

>So if the trend continues of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer,

That's very US centric. Worldwide poverty was almost eliminated and it's still an ongoing process of raising people out of poverty.

In the US yeah.. since 1972 productivity has gone way up, yet wages stagnated.

> CGI = computer generated graphics.

Came with the intention of saying exactly this. It's by definition CGI :D But it's different kind of CGI than what we had before.

It's grossly over-estimating the levels of progress in some dimensions.

Unfortunately it is. I would even risk saying that Kurzweil timeline might be wishful thinking.

Also, stuff moves fast, and change is faster than it used to be. But hype is even faster than actual change in the world. One has to consider that digital space can change quite fast, but physical world is very slow to change...

And it will be china and countries like it that cure xyz diseases.. Because their regulations aren't quite so... Dumb..

I don't understand why this is so contentious, it's not like the people falling in love with AI are going to be missed from the sexual market. They're getting cause and effect backwards here.

I'm going to break with common sentiment here and say humans both deserve and need to know what it feels like to fall in love. In that vein I see AI waifus as a potentially viable therapy.

Even if we achieve full cognitive and morphological freedom, so no one is barred from mating by physical deformity or neurodivergence, some people might still choose not to change or partake at all. And that's valid too.

That wasn't my point, I know all this. The topic was stringing together current AIs to create something that does these things. And that's ignoring a lot of things that they can't currently do, even if you slap them together.

It's literally the thing that computers will be the best at.

Comparing everything to everything else in the memory banks, with a perfection and breadth of coverage that a human could only dream of. Recognizing patterns and reducing them to equations/algorithms, recognizing similar structures, and attempting to use known solutions in new ways, without prejudice.

What's amazing is that anyone can be dismissive of a set of tools where each specialized unit can do its task better than almost all, or in some cases, all humans.

It's like the human version of "God of the gaps". Only a handful of years ago, people were saying that AI couldn't create art or solve math problems, or write code. Now we have AI tools which can create masterwork levels of art, have developed thousands of math proofs, can write meaningful code based on a natural language request, can talk people through their relationship problems, and pass a Bar exam.

Relying on "but this one thing" is a losing game. It's all going to be solved.

Used to be other people on their phone though

Sure, fair enough. Anyhow I think we’ll use AI everywhere like electricity (as it helps us to automate our daily tasks), without any AGI yet. If the AGI ever appears in this planet, it happens like an explosion but on the foundation that’s already there (like accelerated artificial evolution)

Nice, then you can have like a fully impenetrable bubble to live in... or to force others to live in. Fun times.

It doesn't stop at AGI. Since AGI is as smart as a human, and humans created AGI. Then i see no reason why AGI woudnt be able to improve itself until it eventually becomes ASI

This is something I've been hoping someone would post here. Does anyone know if there is an effort right now to provide a operations plane above these different models to make this come to life? Basically, is anyone building the pic posted?

I don't disagree but that wasn't the point of my comment

I was trying to demonstrate that slow takeoff scenarios post AGI are unlikely.

Unhinged capitalism is a disease, toxic

Well, I'm no Alan Thompson, but he did more recently do a slightly similar study at https://lifearchitect.ai/amplifying/. I like the idea of what you posted, even though it has to oversimplify and is no longer current. Keeping up in this field has become very difficult recently. Thanks for sharing it!
