AGI, SingularityNET, Longevity Escape Velocity with Dr. Ben Goertzel

[@I-Dophler]

This is a thought-provoking and wide-ranging discussion about the future of artificial intelligence, longevity, and humanity's existential choices. Dr. Goertzel's visionary thinking and enthusiasm for these crucial topics are inspiring. I urge viewers to delve deeper into his work and perspectives as they provide insight into the possibilities and challenges ahead.

[@I-Dophler]

Ben and others working tirelessly in this field must continue to champion the message of longevity and the incredible potential of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and biotechnology to radically extend the human lifespan. It is crucial that they persistently raise awareness and build momentum around these transformative possibilities, countering the apathy or scepticism that often surrounds such ambitious goals. By passionately articulating the ethical imperative to "abolish the plague of involuntary death" and painting a vivid picture of the amazing futures that could unfold, they can inspire more people to get involved, provide funding, and dedicates their own efforts towards realising this grand vision. Sustained advocacy and tireless outreach are required to shift societal mindsets and get decision-makers to prioritise the research and development that could unlock humanity's next great leap forward.

So, how close are we to AGI making video games? Do we need AGI for that, and how close are we to achieving it? Can AI agents already reason, code, program, script, and map? Can AI break down games, create art assets, and handle long-term planning? With better reasoning, could AI eventually develop a game rather than just writing out ideas? Could it also put those ideas into action? I wonder if ChatGPT-5 will be able to create games with agents or even remake old, closed-down games like Dawn of the Dragons if all the artwork and data are available in the wiki.

[@aztecgaming9603]

Oh dude we are right on the edge, just ask an AI to draw u a realistic hand, or better yet ask it to write u a simple script and it will 100% work just like that, no chance it's outdated or just answering a question u didn't ask

this has gotta be one of the coolest interviews iv ever watched !! iv previously seen videos of Dr. Ben Goertzel & was clear to see years ago that he is a genius, for him & his team to be working on such a revolutionary technology is astronomically cool to witness & must be super fun !

[@alexandermoody1946]

What is really troubling is the potential harms that longevity could cause for millenia. As Humans may be divided into subspecies, other consciousness could become entombed in machine bodies, humans receiving extra bodily organs, new species possibly emerging that feed on humans and the default state of universal war, this kind of scenario that has already been modeled must be averted and avoided as a priority. Logetivity generates problems that require alternative solutions including cooperative data production that can be worked on for an infinite amount of time or the universe becomes a very miserable disastrous place which is unacceptable. I understand that people are scarred of death but imaging that playing jazz of an eternity is not going to create enough value either to the individual or the whole civilisation and requires a broader approach that has an inclusive and competitive aspect dynamic.

Just curious, how many of you really want to live forever?

[@Firestorm12345678910]

I think the question should be reworded as to how many really want to be "forever young" therefore forever reproductive. Because that is the reason why nature came up with bodies to carry and to pass on our genes. If you think about it there really is no need for a brain and it's mainly there to serve social reproductive functions such as fighting for a top spot in the pecking order, making allies (or enemies), selecting healthy looking DNA's in the form of bodies (from the opposite sex or same sex),Machiavellian ways of thinking (could also be subconsciously) again in a social context, surviving the body all for the sake of reproduction. This would be a looped biological "immortality" wherein no one would get left behind or disbarred from it. Keeping the body healthy and alive say via nanobots or DNA "upgrading" intervention is keeping it reproductive. The brain of an 80yr old thinks about sex the exact same way as a 20 yr old would. The secret of life is that there is no secret to it. We are biological machinery and machinery can be fixed, altered upgraded etc.

Cardano is a blockchain, or Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), that adheres to rigorous scientific principles. As a security-first platform, it enables each country to establish its own private, second-layer ledger for secure and permanent financial transactions. Every citizen within a country can have a digital ID and a single vote, ensuring personal and democratic participation. The platform uses mathematics as a functional programming language, which significantly reduces the risk of hacking by providing a strong security foundation. Major banks or businesses, typically the top five, can act as trusted third parties, insuring all transactions for a nominal fee. Cardano is also designed with future-proofing in mind, preparing for potential quantum computing threats. Importantly, the distributed ledger is owned by its members or citizens, promoting democratic decision-making. Just saying...

The only cure for aging is dying young. However I do respect Ben Goertzel.

[@Firestorm12345678910]

Why not just loop it? It's evolution 101 every sexually reproducing organism begins to grow from it's sexual immature state to it's mature state (for some organism that process takes a really long time lucky for them). There's no such thing as dying and death as far as evolution is concerned. The males of the species keep producing sperm until the body "dies". Evolution has not figured out yet for instance to stop producing it in order to save energy (ie reroute it for brain maintenance or extra DNA error checking etc) in males after say 35 or something nor did it evolve to increase the error checking of it while producing it later in life wherein it would be really necessary to avoid birth defects. In the eyes of evolution it is simply good enough to live till around 30 in good enough physical shape and mental condition to give birth and just enough time to take care of the helpless newborns as they too grow enough to be able to survive themselves on their own. If we (plus help with AI scientist) could keep re-growing ourselves (the entirety of the organism) from sexual maturity (up until around 35?) back to immaturity (so that would be like what...say around 18?) back and fourth in perpetuity then humanity could achieve a happy, jubilant, blissful eternal youth and thus won't have to "die young." Humans could re-gain (keep regaining, lol) their childlike wonderment and exploration whilst at the same time keeping the wisdom that experience brings. Now of course the elderly would benefit too however they would have a bit of more work to do since they would I would guess loop back to around their 50's but a sprightly healthy 50 at that and that would be certainly better then death. To be young is to be reproductive. That's what we got, take it or leave it...that is unless the A.I. can do even better figuring out a way to upload minds or something.

I agree that much of life on Earth is hellish right now, but bodily death isn't necessarily a guarantee of freedom, or of the cessation of all conscious experience. The conditions that caused our birth have already happened at least one time - and if it can happen once, it can probably happen again. An indefinite lifespan at least means that there's the possibility of living to see the future become much better than the past - assuming that's the way things end up going, and not the inverse.
