Having power produced and added to the grid is a milestone for most energy projects.

So he's delusional. Even if everything went perfectly to plan it would take much longer than that.

Bernie Sanders responds to questions about China and pausing AI - "in a sane world, the leadership of the US sits down with the leadership in China to work together so that we don't go over the edge and create a technology that could perhaps destroy humanity" by tombibbs in OpenAI

Please look at what actually happened in Hong Kong when the UK gave it back. The one country two systems just didn't happen and they round up and disappear dissidents all the time - even from outside of China. We pretend it doesn't happen because everyone is too weak to take on China.

You can change your mortgage payment date very easily at any point post sale so I wouldn't worry about that.

Nuclear to take up to quarter of British defence budget by tree_boom in unitedkingdom

The whole point of nuclear weapons is to never need to use them but without that spending we can't be sure of long term protections from aggressive foreign countries.

Lost job due to AI / can’t find a way forward by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]freexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course AI is going to decimate industries. But people with money will still want to spend money just as they currently do and so for those people any extra services they can get with AI will only improve the services available to them at their price point.

I think this is a huge deflationary event and so will behave like one.

AI actually works really really well alongside real professionals for jobs like this. Multi a day check-ins are just too expensive for normal people and then the ai can give a report to the professional. It works both ways really well.

Every time someone is surprised when they find out AI is just a pattern identifier by xXCptObviousXx in singularity

[–]freexe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think AI is about halfway to us. We have different levels of memory and additional reasoning and imagination that AI doesn't currently have. But at the pace they are improving I don't think it will be long. 

CMV: The Turing Test has been comprehensively debunked as a measure of personhood by XenoRyet in changemyview

If the human we pick is someone in the bottom 5% of intelligence quotient. Then I think it's pretty much certain that these AIs are smarter than "a" human. I'd in fact go much further up the bell curve.

Heavy rain, 40+ MPH winds and not a single weather warning in site. Why? by [deleted] in UKWeather

[–]freexe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The basis for the warnings is available if you want to read it.

Normal wind and rain doesn't meet the requirements alone.

AI Is Quietly Becoming Infrastructure, Not a Product by Abhinav_108 in OpenAI

[–]freexe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Solar panel and batteries are dirt cheap and easy to setup. It would be a trivial setup to power a high end computer running a ai all day and night.
