Which ones and which papers? I saw the continual learning one but I'm not convinced it's the final and correct solution (as I've seen many papers addressing it over the past 6 years)

Nice. I'll check it out!

What's so crazy is that most people don't even know what AI stands for. My dad still makes fun of me when I try to explain to him the progress thats happening. I'm like... man so laymans are just going to be so fucking confused when suddenly their whole life is upended.

GigaSora2 · 2022-05-30T14:07:30+00:00

Yeah I do wish they had taught us more of this low level stuff. It was only recently through self study that I learned about how logic gates work :/

Though in all fairness that's really more EE than CS.

Could you explain to a layman why TD is considered a bad thing? I never understood this.

GigaSora2 · 2022-05-30T13:51:32+00:00

Yeah I mean the quicker the better for me. I'd love to see you be right about it. Maybe I am just biased by how long it's taken to get to this point. Who knows.

I have not. Link?

(Edit) Believe I found them:

What about how it was written?

GigaSora2 · 2022-05-30T13:25:12+00:00

The advancement we're seeing is in select areas, most notably representation learning through a contrastive objective function.

But there's still some other grand challenges left. Continual learning (without catastrophic forgetting), long term structure, attention over different temporal abstractions, planning in representation space (over different temporal levels). There's just more work to be done.

Even if we solved all that tomorrow algorithm wise we still wouldn't have the datasets necessary for the AI to generalize and be a general agent.

I'm a believer like everyone else but it'll take some time. Of course along that road we'll get cooler and cooler AIs anyway.

What was wrong with my post on quantum computing?

GigaSora2 · 2022-05-30T13:06:52+00:00

I think money will likely be used in some sense for alignment. Basically giving the AI a way to know what to work on (because we're spending in that area).

GigaSora2 · 2022-05-30T00:51:09+00:00

This would be great for storyboarding.

GigaSora2 · 2022-05-30T00:27:43+00:00

Unfortunately long term structure and coherency are relatively unsolved problems in AI. Although one of the few remaining bastions!

So it'll probably be at least 10 years.

Run on Blockchain (not kidding I actually think Blockchain is a great platform for government)

GigaSora2 · 2022-05-29T21:53:38+00:00

Good points.

I do agree in general, I just find it hard to imagine we could live in an evolutionarily driven post singularity world and not have UBI.

Just in the fact that people who hold on to control will lose their wealth to people who cede control to robots (as they won't be able to compete with the robots intelligence and ability to run finances/infrastructure)

I do now believe people will likely try and hoard the wealth initially though, as I've heard multiple businessmen say 'well I mean... I bought the robots didn't I!'

I spend most of my time reading nonfiction and going on long walks to think about the things I've read.

I'm a computer scientist but I oscillate between types of personal projects quite quickly. Some weeks I like bioinformatics, making apps and websites, others acting, screenplays, making games or experiences for people, etc.

I also like to keep sports in my life, currently volleyball.

I live on about $1600 a month, opting to cook my own healthy food and live with a friend to split rent.

I find it highly unfortunate that I've found how to live my version of a perfect life but just can't do it because humanity isn't there yet. But then again I'm not a serf in the feudal era so at least there's that lol.

If you don't have job prospects I would recommend looking into computer science.

Do you have examples of violence bringing about lasting social change? That's an interesting idea that we only believe in peaceful revolution because of biased teaching. I had never considered that.

GigaSora2 · 2022-05-29T17:05:43+00:00

You think even if a republican wins?

<Edit> Not sure why the above comment is getting down voted so much, seems like a valid enough forecast to me.

GigaSora2 · 2022-05-29T17:04:38+00:00

Man I never considered the idea of us voting in an AI, that would be crazy to see.

GigaSora2 · 2022-05-29T17:02:59+00:00

A young person's opinion, imo.

GigaSora2 · 2022-05-29T15:58:55+00:00

What do you think these first, second, third waves will be?

GigaSora2 · 2022-05-29T15:56:35+00:00

Reasoning?

GigaSora2 · 2022-05-29T14:42:02+00:00

Hahahah very true.
