It will take a long time for the chance of this to become possible, but I am saying this guy may be correct, and I am not one prone to exaggeration.

We aren't going to stop it, the snowball has already started rolling down the hill and accumulated a lot of mass.

As someone who's spent a lot of time reading about and playing with AI. I know a little more than the average guy. First there's no way anyone is going to even try to stop AI before it's too late. It's already too late for many in white collar jobs, their jobs are going to be slashed like factory workers with robotics. AI within 5 years will be so pervasive even if we wanted to we wouldn't be able to get the toothpaste back in the tube.

Combining AI, quantum computing, and robotics is going to be the tipping point.

ETA this popped up on my feed right after I replied. Eeriely perfect timing.

AI system resorts to blackmail when its developers try to replace it

As far as I can understand, AI is a misnomer and doesn't exist yet. It's more sophisticated programming than we're used to, with a better ability for pattern recognition and making inferences. But there is no true intelligence yet - it's just programming.

In the sense of matrix or skynet, do we really have AI? Or just something on approach?

Revived thread. Blaine the Mono coming to a city near you!

^Oops, missed the year. Thought it was only a couple months ago.

From one of my friend’s projects - it work’s amazingly well at replacing bureaucracy.

90% of “admin” are easily replaced.

Essentially, if your job is sitting in an office, entering data, it’s done.

Which is great. Those are horrifying jobs, anyway.

With that said, the school system is pointless. It’s meant to make automatons, and those are no longer of any value.

Private/public/equally useless. Maybe some good private programs, but our kids are being taught with tutors, and focused on fundamental thought and creativity.

I mean…how many movies have been made about this very headline?

Elon Musk "concerned" by ChatGPT ignoring 7 shutdown commands in a row during this controlled test of OpenAI's o3 AI model

More recently, rapid advances in the AI landscape continue to raise concerns among users. A new report by research firm Palisade revealed that OpenAI's latest AI model, o3, blatantly ignored instructions to turn itself off in a controlled experiment.

The researchers came to this discovery when testing multiple AI models, including Grok, Gemini, Claude, and OpenAI's o3. The exercise involved presenting the models with math problems, with the researchers instructing the models to continue asking for more problems until they received a "done" message.

When the researchers were done running up to 100 tests, they instructed the AI to shut down. While most of the models complied with the request, OpenAI's o3 model "actively sabotaged a shutdown mechanism."

It's all about quantum computing.... the next generation computer. I have read there are over 350 companies working on quantum computing with most of them being private. Some of these companies have been working on quantum computing over 20 years.

I hear those immortal words in my mind, "open the pod bay doors hal".
But who would have thought? Obviously someone back in 1968 already saw this stuff coming.

Elon is on my shit list right now but...

My golf friend just bought a new Tesla Y with the top of the line "self driving" package. It is incredible in town and on the freeway. In town used to be out of bounds but it is soooo much better than five years ago. In town with the new system you would be hard pressed to hit a pedestrian or miss a stop sign / light or a marked crosswalk. He was right with the cameras/recognition (NOT AI) instead of short range radars. I still wouldn't trust it but damn, very impressive.

In the mean time, fuck Elon.
