Then you must be in for an even shock to find that none of these "companies" are working on conscious AI. In fact nearly none of them are. And AI doesn't just "become" conscious.

The only conscious AI to exist would be a spiking neural network of brain emulation and cognition. None of these idiots do that. And some don't even know what that is.

Interesting. I saw a whole interview with Demis Hassibis of DeepMind where he was talking about how they were reaching out to fusion companies behind the scenes to help solve the hardest problems there and help advance the tech. He talked about how solving hard physics problems had been one of his main goals with AI all along.

Most important line of the talk to me was at 17:10 "...it is important for the transition..."

THE TRANSITION! What else besides the transition to AGI?? He says it in passing as a throw away line, like something he forgot to filter out. Thats the big picture, to acclimate the population before the change.

Even if they're not there yet with AGI/proto-AGI, the clear predictive power ALONE of GPT could be guiding direction much like Westworld's Rehoboam.

Some interesting YouTube on linking chatGPT with WolframAlpha to spotcheck for accuracy. All we need now is a couple more key linkages....

As professor Karoly says, "Always look 2 papers down the line!"

Kind of proves my point. AI art programs are good at making pretty renders. It's on par with calendar art. They aren't doing anything with any kind of message or thematic depth and almost certainly never will. You can get away with that in visual media, but not if you're trying to write a whole fucking novel.
