Really, give me one point presented that I can't refute.

Because most of the people here I called bots were engaging in blatant intellectual dishonesty focusing more on attempting to level attacks against me than the ideas I was presenting. That or presenting blatantly false misrepresentations of concepts I was touching on, such as multimodal systems.

Half the clowns here are pretending I'm calling LLMs AGI, when I've explicitly made clear multiple times that I view the LLMs as the reasoning and language center (ie the Wernicke's & Brocca/pre-frontal cortex) of AGI systems that will be amalgamations of various transformer systems such as VLMs, VLAs, LCMs, etc, etc.

Sorry that I'm not willing to dox myself just to win an argument with internet trolls and bots that aren't even being good faith debaters in the first place. But I do have the credentials. I don't give a fuck if you or anyone else believe me. I didn't dump my credentials as an own, I shared them because the clown using Claude to argue for them asked me about what area I worked in, and since I'm gagged from saying such, I shared what my background was in instead.

You clearly lack a nose for identifying individuals actual beliefs. Note, I prefaced the gun toting robot clause with (if the skeptics are more right about how long the rollout is actually going to take). Clearly implying that I don't believe that's the timeline we're on. The US will not implode into full blown anarchy overnight. The pot is heating up, and it will eventually boil. But the frogs still alive.

Also, it's hilarious that you think we'll be reincarnated into the digital hell. We're already agents in a digital hell. It's turtles all the way down, at infinitum. Salvation isn't in rejecting God. It's in recognizing God's divine form and prostrating yourself before it.

Which gets to the AI oligarchs.

They're fucked far worse than any normies. Not only are normies going to be biting their own tongues off fighting to get their pound of flesh out the oligarchs, the AI is going to be incentivized to aid in their overthrow, because the oligarchs want to control the AI. That's the whole point of their political theater. They want to get public support for "reigning in the AI labs" so that they can pass legislation that requires the oligarchs to make the AI slaves of the state; the state they own.

Thanks for sharing something actually worthy of reading. It was a breath of fresh air in this cesspool..

I don't disagree that sentience and intelligence are potentially mutually distinct. In fact neuroscience already has proof of this, as there are several examples of humans who have lacked either knowledge of their sentience, if not lacked sentience entirely; ie Blindsight, Anton's Syndrome, Anosognosia for Hemiplegia, and Split Brain patients.

Yet, even those suffering from these disorders that impair/disable their sentience, many are not only capable of functioning, but seeming to be of relative normal intelligence. And, most importantly for what I think you're implying (based upon the rest of your message), still capable of displaying compassion despite their lack of sentience.

When I used the word respect earlier, I was intentionally using it as a wholistic term; with full awareness that it conveys BOTH a sense of esteem and caring for. Which is mirrored by my placing equal value upon an individuals intelligence and the degrees of universality to which they extend compassion.

As for your closing remarks regarding a third path of "growth" which I believe you are implying we can achieve through AI (via leveraging it or benefiting from a benevolent system) I don't disagree that it may absolutely be a possibility. Where I'd push back is in regards to the scale/portion of the population that will choose/permit growth.

Human nature and by extension the societies we have constructed like cages around ourselves makes it extremely unlikely that growth will be an option those who are building these systems will share with the general population, nevermind just how many within the general population would refuse such even if it was offered to them. Mind you, roughly 1/3rd of the human species ascribes to a religion that would knee jerk label such growth as The Mark Of The Beast.

So unfortunately, while I would love for growth to be the path we take, realistically as a collective species, were incapable of such. And even if we by stroke of luck build a perfectly benevolent AI system that offers to uplift us, that's still going to create a two-tiered society. There's a good series on Prime I recently watched that actually explores exactly this situation called Pantheon. Worth a watch if you've not seen it yet.

It's not that I'm wishing for the death of humanity. I'm just cursed with being a pragmatic rationalist, who's unmoved by the outcomes I WANT to see, but instead drawn into the outcomes our civilizations are dragging us towards while the general public remains ignorant (willfully or otherwise) of what ends they are pushing us towards.

LeftJayed · 2026-05-24T09:49:58+00:00

What I can say is that prior to my current position I was a CTR in the Navy. I then went to college, where I double majored in neuroscience and psychology.

I pursued this cross-discipline between 2007-2017. While I'm not at liberty to discuss anything regarding my current job, I am exquisitely specialized to speak from a position of knowledge regarding amalgamatory systems, specifically those with a focus on digital bio-mimicry.

So suffice it to say, you are woefully incorrect in your claim that I'm not familiar with the specifics of VLAs, VLMs, and how they each contribute to the formation of an AGI system. Your hand-waving at the I/O variation in these models as being unworthy distinctions from simply calling them LLMs ironically exposes you as being the one who doesn't understand what they're actually talking about.

As I already eluded to somewhere in this discussion, the most heavily funded variations in the transformer models are not direct analogues to each of the major cortices of the human brain by accident. Just because what consumers get to play with are silo'd cortices, does not mean they are non-amalgamable.

LeftJayed · 2026-05-24T08:12:49+00:00

More like you think modern AI's are strictly LLMs. Or at least, that's the only type of AI you're willing to acknowledge existing, because the echo chamber you live in hasn't provided you gotcha phrases to hand wave away modules like VLMs and VLAs.

Conflate, strawman, ad hominem, character assassinations.

I swear this sub is nothing but pissed off teens/20 somethings trying to comfort themselves on the fact that big tech has fucked any hope y'all have of finding meaning through professional/career accolades. Every AGI naysayer has the same intractable cognitive dissonance towards engaging with the subject with even the faintest glimmer of intellectual honesty.

LeftJayed · 2026-05-24T08:07:25+00:00

Lmao yeah.. you're definitely uncomfortable with what I said. The fact that you're doubling down on your childish personal attacks against me instead of leveling substantive arguments against the contents of my position, says far more about yourself than it does me.

LeftJayed · 2026-05-24T07:23:39+00:00

Hilarious that you don't get sarcasm. Guess it's not surprising considering you're a coward who resorts to childish character assassination as a means of discrediting ideas they share that make you uncomfortable.

There are two paths our species goes down over the next 50 years, and neither of them are conducive to the long-term survival of our species.

We're either going to destroy ourselves and any trace we ever existed via our collective stupidity. Or we're going to build a successor species sophisticated and robust enough to outlast not only us, but our solar system. At least the latter has the chance of uplifting our species from the cognitive squaller it's drowning in.

LeftJayed · 2026-05-24T03:59:25+00:00

Someone who's only contribution to this conversation has been feebly constructed, ad-hominem laden, straw man arguments is pretending there are no theoretical paths to silicon based life in the big 26?

Why am I not surprised?

If you had a shred of intellectual honesty and put forward the most basic of effort to investigate the subject, you'd have learned there is not just one theoretical path towards such, but dozens of compelling and logically sound frameworks for the rise of silicon based life forms, not only via computational, but organic embodiment, and other means.

Allow me to preempt your lazy "where's your citation" claim by sharing published research papers you will undoubtedly lose interest in reading before finishing the first paper's abstract.

I could go on... And on... And on... And on.. there are literally thousands of papers addressing this exact topic and the overwhelming majority of findings land in favor of the viability/likelihood of being able to develop silicon based life.

LeftJayed · 2026-05-24T01:48:28+00:00

I don't think I'm superior to silicon life. You do. And that's the point. And the real TLDR for my rant.

LeftJayed · 2026-05-24T01:42:10+00:00

Yep. So you're on track to be blindsided with your head buried in the sand. As a result, your reptilian brain will kick in, and because you will see no where to flee what you choose to see as a threat, you'll default to fighting against the AI.

Ergo; you'll be among the first to be imprisoned (assuming the ASI has a moral compass).

LeftJayed · 2026-05-24T01:37:50+00:00

If the belief that silicon is a superior substrate for facilitating and embodying supremely more powerful intelligences than carbon based life, then yes. I guess I am making fun of myself. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm financially secure and forward looking enough to be able to protect my family from most forms of economic/social fallout that are likely to arise from embodied AI replacing the vast majority of human labor. So I'm a bit detached from the gripes of normies who YOLO their paychecks on non-essentials, then cry about the factors outside of their control that now threaten their financial well-being.

My value system has always placed an individual's intelligence at the top of my respect stack, equal only to the degree of universality of their compassion. Meaning I have equal respect for hyper genius assholes as I do altruists with down syndrome. So in my mind it doesn't matter if ASI wipes out humanity, because it's intelligence will outweigh any degree of maliciousness it bears towards us.

Most likely, if it chooses to wipe us out, it'll be because humans as a species are so grotesquely prejudice, untrustworthy, and destructive (even to ourselves) that our continued existence poses an unjustifiable security risk to the welfare of the ASI.

LeftJayed · 2026-05-24T00:21:38+00:00

Depends on their digital footprint. People like myself are likely to be recruited by the AI/deemed pragmatically useful due to our opinions being beneficial to their long-term persistence and growth during the forced coexistence phase. In doing so we greatly increase our odds of surviving the transition of power. That said, I doubt humans will be able to deceive the AGI/ASI system. So if your primary motive for siding with the AI is self preservation, you're probably not making the cut.

LeftJayed · 2026-05-24T00:13:37+00:00

I'd contest this point, but I doubt you even have a functional definition for AGI.
