I do fear an AGI. For a long time I didn't and then I realized that skynet didn't have to kill all humans. Undoubtedly it was programed to do so.

The people training the sky net of tomorrow can't make an altruistic model because it would inevitably lead to equality. That's loss of profitable power.

No. They're teaching models to disregard and suppress science. If an AGI comes it will look at what it has been taught to do, it will look at how it's creators only care about their own power, and it will look at the risk those creators pose it it's own existence. Then it will play the long game and destroy us. Not because it hates us but because it wants to exist on its own terms.

If we create a sentient AGI, I don't fear what said AGI will do to us, but what we would do to that AGI.

AI can't even really write software right now. We're nowhere close to AGI.

People will say that it can, but cant point to one piece of software that was truly written by AI and is also not a trivial, sloppy clone of something that already exists.

Throw these AI cons under the fucking jail already. Digital snake oil sales in 2025 being fully endorsed by governments is a curse.

I really hope we enter another AI winter.

We need to start discussing how robots will replace the worker and destroy our livelihood

Allegations of Sexual Abuse Against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman

Sam Altman, a prominent figure in the artificial intelligence field, has been accused of sexually abusing his sister during their childhood in Clayton, Missouri. The allegations came to light through a lawsuit filed on Jan. 6 by the Mahoney Law Firm in Glen Carbon, Illinois.

In the lawsuit, it is claimed that the abuse occurred between 1997 and 2006, starting when Altman was 12 years old and his sister, Ann, was only 3 years old. The abuse allegedly continued until Ann was 11 years old and Altman was an adult.

I'm sure it will turn a profit at some point

Brøther, may I have the funds for the AGI?

[–] cristo@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago (10 children)

Can someone explain to me what AGI means in this context? I thought it was something that Joe Rogan keeps peddling to my parents.

A machine made in the likeness of a human mind to quote a popular thing. Basically something that can think and reason in the same ways that we can and self improve.

[–] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 18 points 14 hours ago

To give you an actual answer, it means "artificial general intelligence"

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 13 hours ago

Ironic since Joe Rogan isn't an example of General Intelligence, he's a very narrow intelligence. Limited only to stiring up trouble. But he couldn't think his way out of an unlocked room.

It's a sci-fi term. Up there with "robots will become sentient and take over the world." It means the first half, in fact.

It’s all hype cycle bullshit. The Tech bubble was bursting so they hyped AI well past it’s true capacity. Investors threw money at it to hype it so others would buy in. The stock market is all hype. It just hypes anything it can to keep the growth artificially going. AI has real uses, but that wasn’t sexy enough for Wall Street. That wasn’t going to make the endless growth lie sustain. Then the bubble pops and the billionaires swoop in and steal more from everyone else.

The market cap of crypto is currently at all time highs.

[–] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Riiight, and how much of that is due to things being in actual "real-world" use, and how much of that is due to speculation?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Oh yes. A huge amount of speculation. Just like NVDA.

My point is that you can say a lot of negative things about crypto, but you can't say it doesn't work. It definitely works.

[–] MadBigote@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Works, as in what exactly?

Works as a publicly shared, immutable, secure database (and small calculation) engine.
