[DOOMED] Scientists Really Don't Understand How AI Works

It really is a Frankenstein. The reason why Altman wanted to raise "7 Trillion" is so he could get the chips and compute to make whatever's happening get smarter.

Mmmmm Spaghetti Meat Wall.

 

“TO THE IDIOTMOBILE!!”

 

AI will always have one intrinsic flaw...no matter how many iterations of AI generating new AI, the original Creator will always be a human...and those included flaws will never be wiped from it.

 

Not unlike the human brain
We put enough information in it . .. that it becomes unpredictable
Right now its pure digital information
Images, sounds and works/letters
Add smell, taste and feel . . . then you get like a replica of human results IMO

Within 10 maybe 20 yrs. . . . AI Psychologist will be a thing

Know your enemy. We're failing. Doomed.

 

I work with AI engines.

The business worlds is all gushing about how great it is. People think it’s such a great tool.

But if they really understood AI, they’d be afraid of it. Right now, it’s a tool that can help us. Soon, it will replace us. A LOT of people are gonna lose their jobs to AI.

 

Better hail our robot overlords now, or said robot overlords will hail you for an Uber ride.

BTW, the layoffs happening in tech hasn't affected Google or Big Tech's overall head count as much as the headlines suggest.

They are totally restaffing with AI specialists in mind...

 

This is supposedly the future many dreamed of though, with robots doing most of the grunt work while humans have more time for living with leisure, family, arts, what name you.

The question remains in a world with rapid technological/industrial automation, in a world with rapid wealth accumulation by an incredibly small number of people, how are we going to avoid the obvious (seemingly) looming dystopian trap of modern feudalism with the new era kings being the owners of the machines

For the dream of automation finally freeing humanity from menial work to live, there has to be a system in place to distribute the resources/value that the machines produce to all. That, or everybody but eventually a handful can eat **** I guess.

 

There's been ideas to tax big tech to fund Andrew Yang's UBI.

I think something that involves the digital equivalent of Georgist land taxes would be better than the government smashing and grabbing their own private AI or being captured by those companies through insider trading (or worse).

My idea would be that you'd tax AI companies as if it were developed land based on the total compute it has. Privately run LLM models for small businesses or non-profits wouldn't need to be taxed if they don't surpass that threshold.

By counting aggregate compute over something like GPT-4's marketshare, you would then avoid the loophole of a company breaking up the AI into smaller service-specific AIs.

It'd be a form of progressive taxation without killing innovation and private industry.

Henry George considered land a scarce and public good with land speculators (Google: "shadow inventory") as a scourge that promotes economic bubbles. Because AI hoovers our data like no tomorrow without proper recompense, it consumes us as much as we consume it.

There's likely holes in this idea much like how there were holes in Georgism during boom times, but any public debate over it would be new debate.

Our first great triumph was tricking women into wanting to do work. Done.
Our second great triumph is getting AI to do work. Done.

AI will break through the glass ceiling, and we'll laugh as they do it. I honestly don't care how it does the work. Just do it for me. Go hog wild.

Anything that is stupid enough to work can do it.

Cats don't do shiot. They are the secret overlords.

 

That's my point. When people says they will replace us . . . .what does that look like?

I think what will happen is that we will reach a point where human interaction may not even be a thing
When your every whim is satisfied by AI/Robots do you need other people?
What will become of humanity?
When you can sit on your *ss all day . .eat whatever you like. . . f*** Sex bots that adore you and look like whoever
(until these bots get old . .. . then you buy a new one and the old one now needs alimo . ..er. . . . I keed I Keed , LOL )

But seriously . . . when every Physical NEED is met . . . .. What does a human do?

In the more immediate future... here's what that will look like...
Ya know how, in the workplace, you don't actually build a physical server any more - you spin up a new virtual server, right?
With AI, you will spin up a virtual worker, instead of hiring someone.
Need two more marketing team members? You'll spin up two virtual workers and there ya go.

Generally, if your job doesn't require you to do anything physical, you're going to lose your job to AI.
Marketing
Sales
Support
Artists of all kinds: actors, writers, singers
The entire movie industry will change to CGI. It will be MUCH cheaper, faster, easier to create a movie with virtual actors acting out a AI-written plot with computer-generated soundtrack. Won't have to pay actors, directors, sound staff, costume, props, makeup, lighting.. won't have to go on location or use cameras... the quality won't be as good (at first), but because of the immense cost savings, the traditional method of making films will become much too cost-prohibitive.
At first, lawyers will use AI as a helpful tool, but then AI will replace lawyers (maybe not all of 'em, but many of 'em).

....and the physical jobs that take skill, like welding, woodwork, etc. will all be taken up by low wage illegal aliens.

 

...and it doesn't get better for human relationships. Why put all the work into a long-term relationship with a human being when you can have pure long-term satisfaction from an AI spouse? With an AI spouse, you can have anything you want, any time, without compromise.... (except, of course, childbirth).

 

I was looking at SORA
We are less than a decade away
from being able to scan in Lord of the Rings and it will churn out a whole accurate movie

Rocket River

 

I had not heard of SORA.

Wow. Yup - that's what I'm talking about. This is just the beginning - AI is in it's infant stage of growth.
Right now, we laugh about how the images that AI makes are garbled and we gush about how powerful of a helping tool it is.
In a few years, it's gonna be a lot different.
