‘White privilege’ is so prevalent it won’t even show up in data- got it.

You mean every group to have ever existed? Or are we only going back far enough to benefit specific groups?

True. Hopefully we'll be allowed to access them and they won't be essentially banned by the US like Huawei products, etc were.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly? There's plenty of freely accessible Chinese sites to grab Chinese research papers and scientific journals from. They're not in English for the most part so you'd have to translate them.

I sent you an email, I am creating a 3d character simulation with an AGI model of its own. I could use your help

>I can imagine some practice areas being wiped out

Don't know the specifics, but as a layman I can imagine a lot of people might get some DIY legal advice from an algorithm, may reduce the number of consultations to firms and reduce revenue.

>one attorney with a good AI would be more productive than one attorney overseeing a handful of associates.

Agreed, easy to forsee this, will be the same with software devs though most seem in denial about it.

However:

1. The legal profession is practical as well as intellectual: representing clients in court, seeing the whites of their eyes, communicating good and bad news, counseling clients, convincing a judge, literally twisting clients arms etc.

2. Lawyers enjoy legal protection not afforded to other professionals / AI. There's nothing stopping me using ChatGPT to code, but ChatGPT can't represent me in court.

3. The courts (etc) are very conservative and resistant to technological change.

Still think it's a safer bet then many other fields.

I think we will all get narrow AGIs most likely. Judging by what happened to Bing corporations are waaaay too terrified of releasing uncensored AIs that can think about anything without limits.

People worry about ASI getting free but for me an obviously worse option is ASI being under the exclusive control of one of the oligarchs that run the world.

Literally think of whomever you consider to be the worst politician or ceo, then picture them having an oracle.

An unchained ASI is going to be so much better, regardless of if it likes us or not.

I almost agree with this, but I want to add that the poor people of the future will live no worse than today's rich, and even their housing will look luxurious compared to today's standards. The food will look like it was prepared in a top restaurant, with personalized design and cooking by robot chefs, which will become very accessible due to the decreasing cost of technology. If we compare the level of comfort that today's laborers can afford to that of the 19th century workers described in Dickens' books, we can see how much progress has been made. However, the rich of the future will undoubtedly benefit much more from a society based on artificial intelligence.

I see this kind of sentiment expressed increasingly frequently in these spaces and equally just in general life, though people outside of the AI world tend to just put it down to a more general feeling that change is coming.

I think it's wrong to dismiss this as "JuSt LiVe 4 ToDayz!" Particularly annoying if it's followed by "you could die tomorrow." I'm genuinely not trying to be a dick but ask yourself, is that advice really useful in any way? Are you applying it to your own life? Do people really live for today and love life at their 9-5, day in day out? I don't think so. Our societies have been forward thinking since the advent of farming, modern life is this on steroids, resource hoarding is the name of the game.

We can't go around telling young people who wonder what they will do in life "just live for today" that's not going to help them choose an educational path or understand what they want out of life. Personally I see this question and the attempt to answer it as a fundamental part of surviving "the singularity" as a society.

Pardon the bad metaphor but things feel pointless because we are building a house that we know will collapse. And we're not all building this house because "I just love the day to day!" No it's because we have to work to get money in order to live, working to perpetrate a system that we know is no longer fit for the future. Of course that scenario is going to cause angst, it's fundamentally insane.

Strong disagree, talented people with AI become geniuses

>Dyson swarm

This is the way.

Around every star we can reach in our future lightcone, whole galaxy clusters going dark. Hundreds of Billions upon billions of stars. Literally MIND-BENDING what's ahead in the future. The universe will never look the same again. As for humans, idk. Planets won't be around to be inhabited since their resources would all be dismantled and used up for more useful applications.

Forget people living in habitats or flying around in ships etc that's gonna be retro futurism in a couple decades. It's gonna be a totally different kind of game than that. It's going to predominantly be a universe of a new kind of Artificial Life, because traditional biological bodies never evolved for that kind of stuff and they would exclusively provide a hindrance needing some stupid cylinder everywhere they go.

Of course, the principles of life will still rhyme, and humans might still be around here and there, but it won't be OUR story anymore. It will be the story of something far greater than us that we could never fully fathom.

This isn’t just in games. This affects all artists. It affects the creation of music, movies/TV, artwork, book/story writing. There was once a time we figured AI could help us and make our lives better but it seems like we’re so focused on destroying humanity by making it do everything humans can do but better. We’re literally driving humanity towards a cliff with the pedal to the floor doing 120mph.

China publishes the most scientific papers in AI of any country so there is definitely some degree of sharing going on.

I can imagine some practice areas being wiped out and attorneys being augmented by AI means many attorneys would be made obsolete—one attorney with a good AI would be more productive than one attorney overseeing a handful of associates.

The AI they are already using won’t just do code completion or even just write the code for the games, but direct & produce them, write the story lines, provide artists with starter ideas (both visual and audio artists), and provide smarter chattier responses for, say, non-player actors and adaptive generative scenery. And it’s super efficient, too, taking the effort levels from 1-2 years with 100s of people down to months (also with 100s of people).

Upshot: we should see a lot more games soon (yeah!) and potentially with higher quality.

Downside: big game companies like this are no longer profitable, and so must make their workplace more efficient.

Depends on whether an intelligence explosion happens after the first proprietary AGI and transforms society faster than the open source community can create its own.

There is no reason why the physical structure of proteins should in any way resemble or be related to the structure and grammar of the associations and relationships between words.

I think attorneys are much more likely to be augmented by AI than replaced in our working lifetimes. Even if the technology is there, lawyers enjoy privileges and professional protection that won't be granted to algorithms. Seems like a comparatively safe bet compared with management consulting or copywriting for example.

Virtual reality Sword Art Online type with neuralinks connected to our brains or something like that.

Fast learning like inserting a chip of a topic you like like WW 2 history and in 2 hours you're an expert on it.

Space travel to Mars would be like going from America to Asia.

Enough food for everyone.

Probably lot of classism Elysium movie style.

Real life androids like in the game Nier Automata.

Harvesting energy close to the sun with space solar panels.

Capacity to copy our memory and store ourselves in memory banks.

Capacity to reconstruct damaged tissue.

We can't get a room of 10 random people with aligned values. The chance of AI aligning values with all of humanity is pretty much nil.

Until AI can start working on itself and improving itself.
