LLMs aren’t capable of thought. So they can not get to AGI on their own, something else has to be done. They may help us get there, they may be a component of the final AGI, but we still need something else.

Im not sure that thats what the other commenter meant, but animation directing will still be important. Generating and refining scenes and compositions to cater to a certain audience will probably be a valuable skill.

>instantaneous healing

that would be nice, but ASI is not guaranteed to know magic. And yes "sufficiently advanced technology (...) magic", but a machine would still operate under the conditions of physics and the world as is. It cannot find impossible solutions.

The context you’re discussing this in is within a post about being frustrated with people saying LLMs aren’t going to revolutionize the universe.

That your referring to LLMs is implied by the context of the post. The whole argument being made is that people like me are wrong because we are “downplaying” the capabilities of LLMs.

In that context you are implying that LLMs will be like the Industrial Revolution and replace our need to think.

I’m saying that claims like yours are where I find fault with that argument. LLMs may be a step on that journey, they may not, but they are definitely not going to cause the AI Revolution on their own

Not if one human is producing as much as 10 or 100 humans without the LLM. Add to this LLMs will only get better and closer to AGI. The fact that LLMs get better makes it easier and faster to get to better LLMs in the future. At some point you won't need a human in the loop.

It have been trained on a volume of human generated data greater than any single individual ever have consumed in an entire lifetime.

So it have a lot of real world models and experiences that have shaped it, it's just that all of these are second hand accounts passed over to it.

I'm not making any claims about LLM's.

The first motors were woefully inefficient and were just used to move water.

If someone said that will change humanity, you would laugh and say, what, this shitty pump?

But the motor evolved and performance increased and it started at more applications than just pumping water.

We are at the dawn of an AI revolution. This is the first iteration of a shitty water pump.

Prompt writers aren't going to be a job. This will be a very brief period of time where you have to spend time to engineer a prompt to get what you want.

It will be racism soon

>arr futurology

Climate doomers and green-tech news report central. I'm more disappointed every time I look into that sub.

True it feels like racism

For factual accuracy the V2 rockets were a german weapon so if you had nukes on them you'd be defeating the commies and allies in 30 minutes.

The Word Predictor neural net is only half of the architecture of a Transformer, its also got a Attention network that produces Context Vectors. This is a much bigger deal, because this is showing the Ai is building and understanding Context. That is Understanding.

Yes, but only when you consider the alternative.

Just because it has a mechanism doesn't mean it can necessary be traced and monitored. That's the whole idea behind emergence of anything, that it is a phenomena that came about that was not intended but the result of an unexpected interplay of complex elements.

If consciousness can come about from AGI or ASI is unknown, but researchers have acknowledged the possibility and that is what OP is asking about.

This is why I get frustrated with claims that LLMs are “it.” LLMs don’t think, so they can’t do this step function you’re talking about. You can’t run an LLM 24/7 and spit out new ideas, because LLMs aren’t actually thinking.

You can pair an LLM with a human and make that human more efficient. But without the human the original thought bit is missing. This is why people are saying that prompt writers are going to be valuable, because some jobs will be replaced with prompt writers.

When you have to add the human back to the mix a lot of the benefit you’re talking about goes away.

not precisely a chatbot, but you can write really good smut on Novel AI ( NAI )

Stop acting like a monkey flinging excrement and you might not be treated like one, just a tip. Your writing comes across as if you've skipped your antipsychotics.

Look to r/Futurology as an example of why community gatekeeping is necessary. If you're here for intelligent discussion no one is turning you away

Keep track of those rats, amirite? (Jk, just an amusing typo)

>Or "we would be so overpopulated life would suck". Nevermind that governments could require aging clinics to make their clients infertile. You would need a license to have an additional child after your normal reproductive lifetime.

If the government tries to restrict my fertility in exchange for subsidizing life extension I'll just make use of medical tourism for either life extension or reproduction. Poor people that can afford to fly out to breed or access enhancement therapies would be the only ones these laws apply to.

The answer to a growing population is to continue industrializing the solar system. There's enough resources for trillions of us.

Well that escalated quickly
