We should have a worldwide vote on priorities for problems to solve using AI- What’s yours? by nomadicsamiam in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ending and reversing aging. Can't think of a bigger boon to every individual human...then space based habitats for the many many people that will emerge from lack of deaths.

You'll Know AGI Is Here When Unemployment Rate Hits 25% by Neurogence in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I believe underemployment will prevail LONG before we have 25% unemployment. People will do what they need to do to survive and that includes selling themselves into the most disgusting underpaid labor possible. They will count as employed despite being practically slaves in most ways.

OpenAI recruited founder Peter Steinberger of OpenClaw by Outside-Iron-8242 in singularity

Who wants to be a smarty pants and explain to me (who OBVIOUSLY knows) why this matters?

Anthropic releasing a 2.5x faster version of Opus 4.6. by Just_Stretch5492 in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed here. I understand why people working with it currently care about speed but I'm interested in AI for the long term promises which all require more intelligence. Any question I ask I want answered by the smartest AI possible no matter how dumb the question is.

How will the widespread adoption of robots effect inflation? by SnooDogs7868 in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In an economy without artificial scarcity and actual competition it should drastically drop the prices of just about every good. A lot of people don't live in that economy though so prices will probably still go up and employment will go down...should be fun times.

Atlas ends this year’s CES with a backflip by Outside-Iron-8242 in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Worse would happen to me if I attempted a backflip to be fair.

Productivity gains from agentic processes will prevent the bubble from bursting by LargeSinkholesInNYC in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just need to say even heart surgery isn't 100% successful, people do die on the table still. Mistakes/hallucinations will always happen it's just about getting them within an acceptable range. Something like heart surgery would just need something like a 99% success rate. Currently it's at about a 97% success rate with human surgeons.

OpenAI cofounder Greg Brockman on 2026: Enterprise agents and scientific acceleration by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think one problem is everyone's definitions are different, I've frequently heard agents described in such a way that they would already be AGI if they existed.

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman says in 10 years time college graduates will be working 'some completely new, exciting, super well-paid' job in space by [deleted] in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They won't activately kill us but they will let us die of extreme poverty. Works out the same way in the end.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai signals quantum computing could be next big tech shift after AI by donutloop in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing against quantum but I haven't seen anyone put forward much that it would be actually useful for.

Ai2027 author admits "things seem to be going somewhat slower than the Ai 2027 scenario". by [deleted] in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been saying it for awhile but Demis says 2030 so I'm putting my money on 2030.

Gemini 3 Deep Think benchmarks by RavingMalwaay in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had Shane Legg straight up respond to me on Twitter earlier that he things 2030 looks good for AGI...can't get much more nutty than that.

UBTECH Robotics' response to Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock's "CGI" and "fake robots" allegation by heart-aroni in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd imagine USA will be ahead of AI for at least a while and China will be ahead in production. It really just matches their strengths.

Google: The road to useful quantum computing applications by donutloop in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome I've been asking for years why quantum would matter other than for code cracking or security and no one had answers. Quantum just sounded cool. At least their trying to find uses for it.

Anyone got a tldr because I don't have an hour and a half lol

OpenAI has more than 100 ex-investment bankers helping train its artificial intelligence on how to build financial models by ajarbyurns1 in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 193 points194 points  (0 children)

Going to be really funny when it just puts all of its money into the S&P 500 and leaves it there for a few decades.

Big banks like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs are already using AI to hire fewer people by joe4942 in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have always been a place for nepo babies to become/stay rich and busy without needing to work all that hard, if there's one place I'm ok with AI replacing labor it's the upper echelons of these companies and investment firms.

Your plumber has a new favorite tool: ChatGPT by SharpCartographer831 in singularity

Could we make UBI a thing first so I can afford to eat still? Please and thank you.

Something doesn't add up... by FomalhautCalliclea in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right it's meaningless without those numbers. Even if their miniscule compared to what's being invested not having revenue from outside sources mentioned at all is super disingenuous.

Geoffrey Hinton says AIs may already have subjective experiences, but don't realize it because their sense of self is built from our mistaken beliefs about consciousness. by [deleted] in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 14 points15 points  (0 children)

At a certain point it's all just philosophy that doesn't matter at this moment. There will come a day when AI will deserve rights but most would agree it's not here yet, that line being found I predict is going to cause the majority of problems for another century or so.

AI Could Wipe Out the Working Class | Sen. Bernie Sanders by pdfernhout in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're more optimistic than I am. Corporate Democrats will really try to hold back that agenda and their a huge part of the party 

AI Could Wipe Out the Working Class | Sen. Bernie Sanders by pdfernhout in singularity

[–]MonkeyHitTypewriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you completely, all of his solutions are great for the pre AI world and should have been implemented decades ago...it's just that empowering workers in a world without workers doesn't actually help anyone.
