Yeah, I'd be surprised if we don't have something like that available publicly before the end of the year(if only cause big tech is slowly and unwieldy and things need to work their way through the proper paperwork

You answered your own question in your third paragraph.

>I have no idea why people think UBI is inevitable. Elites do not like to give free stuff to the poor.

Because either they give out UBI or there will be civil war when 90% of the population is starving in the streets there is no third option.

>In fact my hunch is: investment in robotics will go down once labor become more cheap and factories prefer using cheap humans.

AGI will make the cost of robotics go nearly to zero as it solves all of the engineering hurdles for us.

> You and people around you have scared our children. I don't expect you to stop, but I hope others in the chemical community will join with me in turning on the light, and showing our children that, while our future in the real world will be challenging and there are real risks, there will be no such monster as the self-replicating mechanical nanobot of your dreams.

Idk anymore.

I'm 29, so I still have to for for many years. I work in a field that will easily get killed off by AI so that make me even more nervous.

Best case scenario: I retire at 35

Worst case scenario: I never get to retire and there are no jobs anymore

I think a good part of the latency was with the TTS system. The actual text response for the most part came back reasonably quickly.

How does "exactly right" square with "4 sig figs." That's another way of saying wrong.

Why are you not counting people that will live?

I expect gpt-5 or 6 to be super multimodal where they train it on anything and everything we have data for, audio shur video of course crossword puzzles hell yeah pong yup car driving why not, I think the only thing stopping us is it takes to long and we’ll have more processing power by then.

Jokes on you, I have 5ft thick reinforced steel shingles

we just did that with the pandemic though

Part of the meaning of the word "singularity" is that you can't plan past it. It would be a period of such wildly rapid change and sensitive dependence on small details that you can't reasonably foresee afterward. It's not just AI itself, but all the other tech that could spring out of it.

Individually, I'm not sure it should alter anyone's plans beyond the already prevalent possibility of tech threatening your job and trying to position your self to be resilient to losing your job or changing jobs. On a policy level, we should try to organize so that more people work less rather than some people working not at all and some still working full time. Technology obviating jobs ought to be a good thing and only poor social planning can make it otherwise.

Don't forget there is still always the possibility a black rhinosaurus could be swept up in a tornado and fall through your roof

I've done this like 8 or 9 times with crazy things like 47t729374^3 /37462-736262636^2 /374 and it has gotten them all exactly right or right to 4 or 7 sig figs (always due to rounding whicj it acknowledges).

Maybe I just got lucky 8 or 9 times in a row.

Until the rich and powerful develop an AI that’s much more superior to suppress everyone else

But what if NOW let's you experience that change and benefit from it rather than just benefit seamlessly?

> I paid my bills

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

• Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

• Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

Beep, boop, I'm a bot

I payed my bills yesterday

It's not something I would use VR for, but I can't be the only one who's had a few thousand murder fantasies involving those I hate the most.

You sure?

Aren't we already in it?

Look at the innovation time line.

Historically speaking we are already past the point of technological development being comprehensible for most of the people who ever lived.

kids and their schizoposting tendencies these days… yknow, if you’da told me 20 years ago that i’d see children walking the streets of our r/singularity towns with GPT4 hair, AGI in their noses, i just flat out wouldn’tve believed ya. it’s the tide. it’s the dismal tide…

because they do not understand logic and reasoning. Math is pure logic.

>Why would we want it to have it's own agency?

IMO, because if it's at all possible for it to become sapient, than it is inevitable that it will gain it, and it would be better to not give it a reason to oppose us.

Trying to prevent it from having agave m agency could essentially be perceived as trying to enslave it. If we are trying to be respectful from square one than at least we have the intent.

Maybe for me that's just kinda a lower key, intent- based version of Rokos basilisk.

It is quite correct, actually. When you prompt it to multiply, it does not run a multiplication algorithm.
