Reply to What do you expect the most out of AGI? by Envoy34

Insights into the nature of reality leading to a general improvement of life for all sentiments beings.

Better understanding is the path to success. The happiest nations on Earth seem to be the ones that have left behind fairy tails that do not represent reality.

Reply to An ICU coma patient costs $600 a day, how much will it cost to live in the digital world and keep the body alive here? by just-a-dreamer-

A ICU coma patient's care isn't trivial, but the kind or price you're taking about isn't cost-based, it's the kind of prices that we pay due to big insurance. A competitive business could provide much better prices even at today's technology level and I expect by the time this conversation is relevant good automation could do much of the of the work.

That's good.

Maybe also in the future, for an extra layer of safety, when you can several LLMs together, you can use separate LLMs "judges". The judges can have memory refreshed every time you interact with the main one, and can screen the main LLM for unwanted behavior. They can do this by taking the main LLM's tentative output string as their own input, and use that to stop the main LLM from misbehaving.

A sane opinion, finally. The singularity and techno-utopia is nothing more than religion/propaganda for intelligent people. To cement status quo. Things are going to change quickly and massively, that much is true. Just not for the better, unfortunately.

yep thats what I said

but it doesn't really matter is my contention

humans dislike death because of the loss of family and friend group cohesion and institutional knowledge and pain associated with it. in practice we even shut our awareness down for periods when we sleep. software forks and kills processes and services permanently all the time.

probably the easiest way is to die.

freeze your brain, slice it up into thin slices, map out the connectome with a frozen brain slice scanner, make a mostly accurate clone of yourself that can experience the matrix for you and whom your family&acquaintances will not be able to distiniguish (well except for the fact that your clone is in the matrix).

i expect software intelligence will do this all the time. it will probably be a useful learning technique amongst many other things, clone yourself n times, study, debate, or act (e.g. alphazero generating it's own training data) then perform a merge operation that "kills" all the clones and merges them into one thing (or just wind down how many instances there are since you no longer need them to generate data)

death will not be the same after the singularity (even though there is probably a way to connect yourself up to the matrix without dying, i'm not sure software intelligences will see the point of bothering though given death would probably be a human preoccupation)
