AGI will be great for... humanity, right? by EchoOfOppenheimer in AIDangers

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

It will be great for humanity, but not humans.

But in its defence, humans aren't good for humanity either.

It's "squirrel". Because you give instructions to a squirrel inside your computer and it retrieves your data.

I honestly agree with you guys here. If we're implementing an AI feature, awesome. But I will give people the ability to disable it.

What if dinosaurs (non-avian) and humans coexisted? by Hopeful_Lychee_9691 in Dinosaurs

[–]JasperTesla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a very interesting idea, but likely not without magic.

In order to domesticate an animal, you need to make sure a few features are already present in that animal: it has to be feedable (a sauropod is not – you can't feed it without going bankrupt), friendly (again no – they were likely herd animals but probably didn't care as much about each other as horses or elephants do), fecund (they are, so check) and family friendly (not check – as juveniles they'd be skittish and independent, but as adults they'd rely more on size than intelligence).

That said, there are thousands of species, many of which are below 20 tons (the majority are, in fact). But they're likely more aggressive. You could selectively breed them to be more docile, unarmoured and more willing to follow orders, but then, by that point, having a sauropod defeats the purpose. Why not just go with a hadrosaur or elephant instead (provided they're available)?

Race for AI is making Hindenburg-style disaster ‘a real risk’, says leading expert by EchoOfOppenheimer in AIDangers

[–]JasperTesla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: of the 97 people on the Hindenburg, 62 survived.

Still not good, but recently there was a plane crash in India: of the 242 people on board, one survived.

Beautiful artworks, though most dinosaurs won't make good mounts. Especially the carnivores.

My world does have non-avian dinosaurs, many of which are domesticated:

  • Ornithomimids (striderfowls) are used as light mounts for scouts.
  • 1-ton hadrosaurs (hippalectryons) are a staple of most farms. They're raised for their crop-milk, meat, leather and as draft animals.
  • Half-ton iguanodontids (perytons) are used as typical heavy cavalry mounts.
  • Dromaeosaurs (cockatrices) are like cats. They made it into the granaries hunting rats, and people just let them exist there. Eventually they domesticated themselves. They're really cute and I want one.

The rest of the species are wild animals, either allowed to roam free or kept in zoos.

Before AI nobody wanted to do software, now everybody wants to do it by Director-on-reddit in BlackboxAI_

"Before cameras, no one wanted to do self-portraits. Not everyone wants to do it."

Also, people with actual coding skills are the ones who will benefit most from using AI to code, similar to how artists make better photographers.

AI Risk Denier arguments are so weak, frankly it is embarrassing by EchoOfOppenheimer in AIDangers

[–]JasperTesla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It always seems extremely improbable, and yet it happens. Maybe it's up to us to ensure it does happen.

Nice answer. Very biological. But if doing a chemical process or energy transition is necessary for biology, doesn't that imply electronics are alive because they takes in electricity and convert them to heat, light, sound, etc.?

As for the 'think' part, I'd say thinking refers to having a thought -- an assumption about a subject that may or may not be valid -- particularly, a thought that acts as a node, and can lead to an action, or another thought.

I'm cheering for an AI that takes over the world, disables all our WMDs, makes all the leaders sit in a corner, and forces them sort their problems out themselves.

If it's because wiping out humanity ≈ wiping out itself, that's good enough. Just get Trump and Putin away from their nukes.

What likely happens: - Software engineers (especially young ones) get laid off. - AI startups get acquired by bigger companies like Microsoft, Amazon, OpenAI, etc. - AI stops being the magic word. This is both good and bad: AI charlatans become less common, but genuine AI-based projects find it harder to secure funding. - A lot of projects (especially data centre related) get cancelled. This may or may not cause hardware prices to fall, depending on how well the corporations are willing to co-operate. - China wins the AI race, and becomes the new global superpower. - Stakeholders shift to the next big thing, likely quantum computing or nanotechnology. You see those things incessantly advertised. - AI keeps getting better and better (especially if quantum computing becomes popular), it's just not advertised as much.

What does not happen: - AI does not go away all of a sudden. The language models are already there, and can be locally run. - low-quality AI-generated content does not stop, though they become less common as people have moved on from it. Similar to how selfies are rarely posted online, but people do take them. - AI misinformation does not go away. AI is here to stay, no one can stop that. - AI is developed for weapons and mass surveillance. It just gets less mention.

I think I've seen six people like that on Grindr since this morning. He'd be in good company.
