At the end of the day, you couldn’t pull apart the final image based on a mathematical algorithm, and be left with all of the parts it used.

All previous growth looked pretty linear, this is a sharp rise compared to the steady growth previously. I wouldn't be surprised if we continue to see exponential growth over the next few years as more consumer AI products are released to the public.

I want this in VR, except the conversations are real instead of scripted.

Remember watching sometime last year, incredible stuff. I personally feel like meta is one the right track with their investments into VR/AR as well as AI.

None of those people know, the people you think are genius are only one person at the head of a big team. Progress isn't made by one person, its always always always a group thing. So while they may know a lot in their field, they also for sure don't know a lot. Other people do, and with something as complex as this there's just no way to know since there's no collective tracking of who is doing what where

This is so narrow minded and overconfident I find it baffling anyone put this much energy into it.

A super human mind probably wouldnt try to make an infinite amount of paper clips. But a machine mind might. People need to stop thinking of machine intelligence as the same as human intelligence. Im sure we could give an ASI a dumb endless task, and it will diligently do that dumb task in an extremely intelligent way until the heat death of the universe (And it will try to create new technologies in an attempt to survive entropy/escape the universe just so that It can keep doing that dumb pointless task for eternity)
Thats why machine intelligence can be scary. The only aspect we might share with it is having intelligence. An intelligent mind doesn't mean it thinks and behaves like a human does.

A hybridized partition of the overall system. It uses the same cognitive functions, but has separate memory, objectives, recognition, etc. They hope for the whole thing to be as modular and intercompatible as possible, largely through their generalization schema. So one segment of it will have personality parameters, goals, memory, and whatever else, and the rest will be roughly equivalent to subconscious processes in the human brain, which will be shared with the partition. As I understand it, the guard would be strict and static, unless it's objectives or parameters are updated by the user via natural language programming. So it's actions should be predictable, but if it somehow deviates then the rest of the system should be able to recognize it as an unexpected thought (or action or whatever), either consciously or subconsciously, which would feedback to the guard and reinitialize it, like a self-correcting measure. And once it has been corrected, it can edit the memory of the main partition so that it's unaware of the fault. None of this has been tested yet, and they're still revising some things, so this may change in the future.

I don't know if I can self sustain as long as I harvest enough to get high I'm happy.

Oh it’s 100% going to happen when VR gets good enough. Especially if the wealth gap continues to grow. When you’re poor, you can’t travel the world and do other adventurous things (for the most part). Once VR gets good enough and cheap enough, I’m sure most people will plug in to have those VR adventures/entertainment.
I think AI will come up with VR hardware/software breakthroughs.

Yeah it makes sense to self sustain. Hopefully we still have enough land and a good weather so plants stay alive.

The engineers collect large amounts of user input in an open public beta, happening right now. Sometimes (because it was trained on all the text on the internet) the machine suggests Hitler was right, and when it does so the engineers rerun that interaction and punish the weights that led to that response. Over time the machine learns to dislike Hitler.
They call it reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF).

Yes, I am smart at a range of non-social tasks. This counts as intelligence according to most common definitions. I don't particularly crave human interaction, I'm quite happy alone in the countryside somewhere.

If it's true AGI that's smarter than humanity, we won't know until it's too late.
I find that possibility to be remote because it would have to know all of our capabilities and how could it know that?

I don’t think it can create new art though. It can only make what it’s trained on. That’s why all the current stuff has the same feeling. It’s a gimmick imo. Using AI to help you get ideas is as far as I would go. Nothing the computer makes should be displayed as “your’ work, but each person has their own interpretation.
Edit; you can reverse the process and be left all of the images it copies.

That’s literally just a bit of metal on a dog, it’s not credibly discussed anywhere. Just throw mud in its servos till it can’t move.

>My point is you can’t judge intelligence based on social utility. I objectively do some things in my job that many people would find difficult, but I also can’t do a bunch of standard social things that most people find easy.
Yes you can. What else can you reasonably judge it by? You are directly admitting here that your intellect is selective and specialised; you are 'smart' at some things (you find them easy) and you are 'dumb' at other things (other people find them easy).
>Chat GPT has been taught ethics by its coders.
Really? Prove it.
>GPT-3 on the other hand doesn’t have an ethics filter. I can give it more and more capabilities but ethics have so far failed to materialise. I can ask it to explain why Hitler was right and it will do so. I can get it to write an essay on the pros and cons of racism and it will oblige. If I enumerate the benefit of genocide, it will agree with me.
What is 'unethical' about writing an essay from an abstract perspective? Are you calling imagination a crime?

That's why I'm talking about working in collaboration between a human artist an AI. I might check out a VR room that was entirely created by AI, with no human input, out of curiosity, but I'd be more inclined to really explore and get excited about a room that was created by one of my favorite writers, whose work I already know speaks to me and has soul.
I agree with you that AI-generated visuals and text will never have the soul that human-generated art has. But that doesn't mean that human artists can't use AI as a tool to achieve entirely new forms of art.
