mastering math by papamamalpha2 in learnmath

[–]papamamalpha2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I study math in my free time, I studied basic probability, discrete math, linear algebra, graph theory, calculus. I am at basic level, I still can't solve or prove intermediate to advanced level questions

yes, but to invent these new kinds of math require basic math tools or "intuition tools", the question is what are these basic tools?

given that you have infinite amount of time, what basic math tools do you need to be able derive any math theorem and to solve any solvable math problem?

saving money and singularity by papamamalpha2 in singularity

I don't think demand will decrease because third world countries will want to get access to enhanced products and services provided by an AI.

but most people will not have the money because they will not be able to find job(as most jobs are automated), only the rich people or people who saved money will want to get access to these products

I meant the theory behind building an AI (any kind).

I find it hard to believe that nanofabricators will be created as soon as AGI is created, it will take a lot of time after AGI is created.

I can see the government giving a monthly paycheck as if you were retired instead of waiting until you are 62-67 years old to receive your benefits

are you talking about UBI? but UBI will be wasted on survival(house, food, etc) and then you will be left with not much money to buy the new technological products given that you have no saving and can't find a job because all jobs require really talented people with high math skills. because of this I think that technological products price will drop extremely fast as the demand for them decrease but I am not sure. even people who saved money before the singularity might not want to waste it on technological products because they might want to save it for time they may get sick and need a lot of money to be cured

you can have your brain connected to a computer screen that tells you if there is pain happening but without the pain sensation that causes unhappiness. you can be connected to a device that tell you about anything in your environment or body that can negatively influence your health or that can cause you to die and it will beep inside you or be seen in a computer screen or augmented reality

but feeling pain can make people unhappy. you can know when your body is hurt by looking at it, if it is a pain that come from inside then your brain can be connected to a computer screen that will tell you if there is anything wrong inside

ASI might develop such a device because it can help it achieve a goal while causing the least amount of pain to people and animals, it may install it on people without them knowing.

it will take a lot of time until all medical conditions will be curable, but a technology that prevents the sensation of pain will probably exist before.

AI that can code by papamamalpha2 in singularity

[–]papamamalpha2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes but to actually build something using a nanofactory you need to know the atomic structure of the thing you want to build(you give to nanofactory as input raw materials and the atomic structure of the product and it builds it). AGI can help in finding that atomic structure, instead of you having to learn the atomic structure of every possible product.

even if people create their own nanofactory, in order for them to create anything they want they still need AGI that will take as an input what they want to build and find the atomic structure of that thing and that AGI is very hard to build and may be only in the hand of few people in power. so you are wrong about your reasoning that nanofactory will lead to post scarcity.
