Reply to comment by Darustc4 in do you know what the "singularity" is? by innovate_rye

There's certainly no way to know what ASI will truly be like as our monkey brains can't possibly conceive of it. Nor can we imagine what we will be like once we multiply our intelligence a billion fold. That's why it takes the name from a blackholes. You can't see what happens beyond the event horizon of a blackhole.

Reply to AI technology level within 5 years by medicalheads

I reckon Ray has a pretty good handle on this when he predicted that it will occur sometime between 2029 and 2050. But at some point in the next 3 years or so we should at least know if it’s going to be a hard take off or not.

Reply to Meta unveils a new large language model that can run on a single GPU by AylaDoesntLikeYou

Dum question, but let’s say this time next year we are indeed running a 13-billion parameter LLM on our top spec home GPUs, how long would a response take? With images I’m happy to wait 60 seconds for a really good result, but would I wait that long for a reply from an LLM? Perhaps we are running 13-billion parameter models next year, but it might by be another 4 or 5 years until we would actually want to?

Reply to comment by RavenWolf1 in Bernie Sanders proposes taxes on robots that take jobs by Scarlet_pot2

Yes, the problem isn't that we shouldn't be doing it, the problem isn't that we haven't been doing it up until now.

Of course, it's not like we would come up with specific taxes on spreadsheet software and calculators. The financial gains from those are supposed to funnel their way down into profit that we tax, however there are such flaws in the tax structure that they aren't funneling their way down, so we aren't effectively taxing to collect some of the benefits that we get out of things like spreadsheet software and calculators.

Reply to comment by blueSGL in Autonomous drones use AI and computer vision to harvest fruits and veggies. In last year's demo, they only flew one drone now they can fly an entire fleet. In 5 years' time it could become truly impressive. by Dalembert

Lol. At about 10 seconds in, the system sticks one of its fingers through the strawberry and then pretend to grab it afterwards. Who releases something like that as a promo video?
