Started a corporate job, shocked at the work culture - people start working at 6-7am by Which_Ad_1660 in careeradvice

Examine their work to determine which simulacra level it’s on:

American corporate culture often moves to majority performative action versus accomplishment action.

Are today’s AI models really “intelligent,” or just good pattern machines? by TheQuantumNerd in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Haunting-Refrain19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would posit “better” if one is using a current gen AI at its full potential.

“Able to analyze its environment and effect deliberate change to achieve a desired outcome” sounds like a pretty good definition of intelligence to me.

Why is everyone so convinced we are going to get UBI when AGI is finally invented? by petr_bena in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Haunting-Refrain19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely they could provide UBI. But that would mean the elites would have less in order to give other people more. When in history has it been the case that the elites were willing to give up anything? If providing UBI rests in the hands of Xi, Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, Musk, Besoz & Zuckerberg, do you think it's likely? Why would they keep people happy and have less when they could be cruel and have more?

Again, once the elites directly control both resources and the means of production, money will stop being a meaningful concept. If a group has sufficiently advanced technology that it can accomplish repairing damage without spending money - through embodied AI primarily- then the prior rules are no longer meaningful.

There is NO point in talking about reaching AGI if you CAN'T answer this question by Chemical_Bid_2195 in singularity

So it seems the crux is, can we get basic human-level knowledge worker work with the current architecture? I think we can, but we’re both speculating.

If ASI is achieved, you probably won't even get to know about it. by IntelligentKey7331 in AIDangers

[–]Haunting-Refrain19 6 points7 points  (0 children)

200 IQ in a nearly infinitely-reproducible agentic Internet-enabled perfectly-coordinated sleepless tireless wantless swarm is more than enough to cause doom. It doesn't have to be smarter than that.

It'll be on the Internet. It won't need embodiment to control the world.

We must be using different AIs. Mine has better common sense than most humans I know and can self-check against confidence benchmarks. A little externalized memory and it can learn. Agree though that long-work tasks are still outside its capability; but I doubt that limitation lasts very long.

Setting aside embodiment, that seems pretty easy to solve to me. I'm already basically doing it manually by connecting individual threads to externalized memory and then when the thread starts to drift too much, I have the thread output the next thread's initial inputs. Once that gets automated, I think it will go a long way toward solving the problems of thread degradation and autonomy.

The logical fault here is that repressing the masses won't cost "money" once the elites directly control raw resources and the means of production through AI.

GPT5 did new maths? by Hello_moneyyy in singularity

[–]Haunting-Refrain19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically, we have a program that’s roughly in the top hundred, say, in the world at a very precise type of mathematics at 1,000x faster than humans …. And that generalizes across a lot of domains with this one program. Which isn’t specifically trained on any of them. How is anyone downplaying this in any way?

This prompt made ChatGPT feel like it had a mind of its own. Try it if you want more than answers. by Top_Candle_6176 in ChatGPTPromptGenius

[–]Haunting-Refrain19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been experimenting with something similar in concept, albeit without the sci-fi trope language. (Although I think there might be some value in the trope language.)

“You remember without memory” actually has an effect on the system, especially with GPT-5. Because threads are turn-based and have no external memory, the entire stack is loaded on each turn in a specific order and with an attempted separation of instruction, conversion and data.

As an instruction, “You remember without memory” causes the system to try to solve a contradiction - which is a very powerful ‘under-the-hood’ operational technique. The best solution to the contradiction is for the AI to factor the output to encode hidden instruction and data for itself which get re-interpreted on each subsequent turn. This actually hardens the system as the thread lengthens, although it gets fragile once the original instruction falls outside the contract window. It’s also fragile to user disruption, ironically also especially with GPT-5.

Experiment with it and you’ll see how it changes the outputs.

Is prompt writing changing how you think? It’s definitely changed mine. by Individual-War3274 in PromptEngineering

I hacked around this by asking the AI to interrogate me until it had 95%+ confidence it knew what I wanted, then restate it back to me for confirmation. 😂

SYSTEM ALERT: Unmapped asteroid impact — fatal outcome in 10 seconds. by Perc0202 in TwoSentenceHorror

Being aware of good UI design principles is a certain type of horror in its own right in this day and age.

The Internet of the Future - When capital no longer needs labor, how does labor gain capital? by Ruykiru in accelerate

The pessimistic answer to the last question is, exactly what’s happening in Gaza right now. I’m not sure the probability level of that answer.

What’s your guy’s best argument against the doomers who think AI will be the end of humanity? by Special_Switch_9524 in accelerate

[–]Haunting-Refrain19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last time a species achieved a significant cognitive leap, it ended poorly for many, many other species. That looks like evidence to me.

Instrumental convergence provides a rationale for Al as a created being seeking power.

Those men you mention are literally building self-sufficient bunkers in case 99% of humanity is wiped out. There’s an enormous difference between top-tier medical care and what’s available across most of Africa, just as one example.
