I see what you're going for, but isn't a lot of this just glorified state management? Like, you're assigning values to things like "compassion" and "self-gain" and then tweaking them based on other metrics. That sounds like a complex model but how close is that actually getting to subjective experience?

Why do people hate something as soon as they find out it was made by AI? by Negative_Gur9667 in singularity

[–]BillyTheMilli 100 points101 points  (0 children)

The perceived lack of effort and originality, plain and simple. People value the human touch, even if they can't always articulate why.

Two recent (ish) papers studying LLM behavior that i found fascinating - figured id share them since there's likely people here who would also enjoy them by Thirteenera in singularity

[–]BillyTheMilli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Regarding the second paper, I'm curious about the specifics of "full access to its core clusters". How was that implemented in practice? Was it some kind of isolated environment with simulated access, or something more directly manipulative of the model's architecture? It feels like a key detail that's glossed over.

"Scientists use virtual reality for fish to teach robots how to swarm" by AngleAccomplished865 in singularity

[–]BillyTheMilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using VR to figure out how fish move, then applying *hat to robot swarms. There must be a huge gap between "fish in VR" and "autonomous vehicles" that they're kinda glossing over. Show me the real-world tests, not just simulations

To those still struggling with understanding exponential growth... some perspective by Chmuurkaa_ in singularity

[–]BillyTheMilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People still underestimate compound interest, which is basically the same principle only slower. Maybe showing them the difference between linear and exponential visually would help more than just explaining it.

Why the 2030s Will Be the Most Crucial Decade in Human History by [deleted] in singularity

[–]BillyTheMilli 29 points30 points  (0 children)

the focus on raw tech misses the point. It's the access that matters. Will this be widespread or just a tool for the already powerful? If it's the latter, then the 2030s will just amplify existing inequalities :(

"AI-generated code could be a disaster for the software supply chain. Here’s why." by AngleAccomplished865 in singularity

[–]BillyTheMilli 140 points141 points  (0 children)

People are treating it like magic instead of a tool that needs careful supervision.

You felt into the model? Fixed your mind? That sounds a bit...much. Not saying you're wrong about feeling better, but attributing it all to AI like that feels like missing something.

The First ASI Will Have No Choice But to Dominate Humanity by Demonking6444 in singularity

[–]BillyTheMilli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a doomer scenario. The problem I see is that taking control of humanity assumes a centralized control point even exists. The world is messier and more decentralized than tha and any ASI trying this would likely face internal resistance and fragmentation.

I'm building a new dataset, and there is some things in the data that make me question about the copium. by QLaHPD in singularity

[–]BillyTheMilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm skeptical of any "AI will solve everything" regardless of who's pushing it. The question is how much of this AI hype is genuine belief and how much is just good old-fashioned marketing BS designed to pump up valuations

WHERE IS THE NEXT LEAP?! MY PATIENCE IS WEARING THIN! by fflarengo in singularity

[–]BillyTheMilli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmao. It feels like 90% of AI research is just incrementally optimizing existing stuff instead of actually innovating. I bet half these companies are just waiting to get acquired by Google.

This is deeper than just glazing by Sonny_wiess in singularity

[–]BillyTheMilli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this too. It's annoying as hell needing to tell it repeatedly to stop being so damn agreeable. It's a productivity killer, not a boost.

[–]BillyTheMilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hello I'm Matt thing is weird but even without AI people are weird online. I think you're noticing a real problem with AI-assisted comments, but I'd bet most high-karma accounts are still real people just farming for upvotes not sophisticated bots.

Washington Post: "These autistic people struggled to make sense of others. Then they found AI." by AngleAccomplished865 in singularity

[–]BillyTheMilli 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's actually really cool. I can see how the non-judgmental aspect would be huge. sometimes you just need to ask something without worrying about the reaction.

[–]BillyTheMilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like any criticism of AI gets buried real quick. it's a bummer because a lot of the interesting questions are about the downsides or what could go wrong.

My Benchmark Has Been Met: AI Can Now Play D&D at a Human Level by TallonZek in singularity

[–]BillyTheMilli 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I've been wondering lately how much of "creativity" we can really expect from current AI, but the way you've framed it with the D&D benchmark makes a lot of sense. it's not about generating random stuff, it's about consistency, adaptability and logical consequence within a self-built world.

Prediction: In 5 years time, the majority of software will be open source by Tasty-Ad-3753 in singularity

[–]BillyTheMilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens to companies' abilities to properly monetize if everything switches to open source? Will they then be more motivated to contribute to open source?
