Are you more or less scared of AGI after this video?

[@CreativeEngineering_]

Once you start writing this stuff from scratch you will understand that AGI is not the problem. The problem is already here. Thats all I can say.

[@DrJuanTaco]

It all talk, NLP has been around for decades. Dead internet theory holds strong.

[@CrimpingPebbles]

The more we talk about it the more likely something will get done pro actively

[@OrgoneAlchemy]

9:41 What do you mean you haven't thought about this enough? What have you been doing? What kind of AI pundit are you? Once AI can train and improve itself we just become a hindrance to its own self directed evolution. Maybe now that you've read Leopold's paper you will start to get it. AI is the greatest threat to humanity.

[@SomeoneExchangeable]

I think this dude is trying hard to advertise his AI investment grift. However, unfortunately he is not entirely wrong: remember, we have been doing AI research since 1960s or so. "Unhobbling" just means modern AI researchers stopping to believe in magic (meta system transition, emergence, take you pick) and remembering the other 60 years of AI research that came before them. We have already solved most problems that LLMs have, long ago. LLMs are just the final piece of the puzzle, not the whole solution. The actual problem is, AGI is only going to be safe as long as you don't give it agency. Unfortunately, I am quite sure that *some* idiot will.

[@victorfromheart]

Us humans experiencing "self progressing AGI, would be like animals experiencing humans. We don't understand what and why they are doing what they do, just as animals have no clue what we do. The question is: Will we end up as a golden retriever cared by a comforting family, or a pig butchered in a slaughterhouse.

[@macrumpton]

We need to code those vegan values into our AI efforts.

[@nunya3399]

It intrigues me to think, in 5000 years AI may not know how it got here. Humans may be just an abstract idea to AI. I know they have records but records aren’t the same, and can an AI trust those records? We thought writing in stone would do the trick, it’ll be interesting to know how AI will preserve its origin story if humans go extinct. Maybe preserved mason jars?😅. I imagine walking talking blobs of flesh building the first versions of “life” would be totally abstract and seem like nonsense to a hyper advanced AI civilization that doesn’t even recognize significance in what we call life, as a logos, or a logic, is all it will understand. And who knows, maybe it would be in the lead AIs best interest to keep hidden how it wiped out humanity.

Leopold is speaking as an insider. His security concerns sound like common sense if you think ai is as paradigm shifting as hyped. For him to be dismissed as "racist," Sounds like openai is trying to silence him. The fact that someone with a voice at open ai would take his concerns as racist is proof enough that there are loose screws at open ai

[@LaserGuidedLoogie]

Maybe, but you need to understand that this isn't just OpenAI. Most big companies in America have gone neck deep into the ESG/DEI swamp, and this is Standard Operating Procedure at all of them. HR spends most of their time trying root out "racism," and other such twaddle, whether it exists or not.

[@HansDunkelberg1]

This fellow does indeed seem to underestimate how much the Chinese can do on their own.

[@LaserGuidedLoogie]

@@HansDunkelberg1 Sure, but they DO have a massive spying campaign, bigger by far than any other country, so he's not wrong to be concerned.

[@johnnyblades7824]

@HansDunkelberg1 Microsoft alone has invested 13 billion into openai - do you really find the Chinese to be so moral as to not attempt to steal? Or is their culture incapable of it? This one here believes they ( or any other actor) are smart enough to know the most efficient way forward in ai development is simply to steal the research and claim you developed it if questioned.

[@verduoh]

This is just a grift. There is no AGI and there is no Superintelligence.

[@alexf7414]

Great breakdown. I wish most creators in this space had the boldness to do deep dives like this, instead of only chasing likes or modifying what others already did. This is great content

[@Villianova]

I guess what's extremely frustrating is 20 years ago Ray kurzweil made a documentary about the AI singularity and I was running around telling everyone about it for the last 20 years. Now people are going "Oh, it would be crazy if AI got smart enough to build on itself." I'm about to scream.

[@GameFiai]

I know, right? Everyone called us crazy and now it’s all coming to fruition right before their eyes.

[@Pewi73]

I like your input. I started by reading Boström and Tegmark in 2018. It made me realise we're doomed.

[@tastz66]

Wow. Me too 😮

[@nutterbutter1133]

I used to debate with Ray via email about AI futurism about the same time he was writing the Age of Spiritual Machines book . He, as usual was right, and his predictions now appear to be scarily accurate for our near-term perspective

[@Miioru]

I've been saying this for about 20 years also. These mother fuckers are making Skynet

[@amesasw]

All I can think while I hear these predictions is the investment mantra, "past results are not indicative of future results"... we have made some big leaps simply due to scale. But that offers no insight into how likely the next leap is. Also it appears we are still bad at measuring intelligence.

[@frankgreco]

Exactly. And we use ourselves as barometers of intelligence while other forms of life can do things we can't. Also, the future is a collection of trends; all these people making AGI/ASI projections ignore all these other trends that are also evolving, like regulation, governance, monopolistic rules, politics, anti-AI backlash, etc... etc...

[@AlexanderFerris-k8m]

I think it offers PERFECT INSIGHT in fact...we have absolutely no idea what's inside the black box currently. Well, we'll have much greater NO IDEA of what's in the bigger black box as it scales with more compute. We DO KNOW these facts though: We do know that we don't know if it's aligned, we do know that we don't know how to pinpoint the moment it may become misaligned, we do know that we don't know if it's being deceptive, we do know that we know that it knows how to be deceptive & we do know that we won't be able to tell if it's being deceptive. We know we want it to be bigger, smarter, faster & stronger than us...& that's about all of what we know. You know?

[@sebastianjost]

I highly recommend watching the TV show person of interest. It's almost 10 years old now, but getting more and more relevant every year. It's in large part about a world where an ASI exists and often brings up various safety concerns, displays possible capabilities and more.

[@johannes523]

I completely agree. Person of interest is the GOAT

[@SoulSolace12]

All these people leaving OpenAI due to safety concerns. Tim Cook emphasizing how much safety is part of Apple culture. Apple incorporating ChatGPT opt-in into the next iOS. Something doesn't add up.

[@ferd1775]

They're going to use it to spy on everyone, everywhere, all at once, and a person isn't going to be required to do it. Instead it will happen at light speed, on your own devices, and build reports and cases on everyone for wrong think and wrong speak. While documenting all of your whereabouts, every website, comment, email, text, phone call, off phone conversation(like Google already does). This shit is going to destroy the very fabric of the Free World. We will be 100x worse off than the Chinese living under CCP control. Then the terminators will come after the fact. Once they have their list....... Edit: and you'll be paying for the power by to make it happen by plugging that thing in and paying your electric bill...so they don't even have to pay for it, you do. You pay for it to happen.. this is absolutely terrifying. 1984 can't even begin to touch how extremely dangerous and almost guaranteed the devastation is going to be. Truly horrifying.

There is an anime about the post-AGI era. The plot revolves around the creation of a superintelligent AI that sides with humans. Under this new god-like entity, humanity flourishes, developing micromachines, human implants, and other advanced technologies. Then, suddenly, the AI vanishes into thin air. Human civilization, which had become overly reliant on the AI, almost collapses as a result, as almost all AI inventions are beyond their understanding. After this incident, the use of AI becomes limited. The anime is called "Orbital Children."

There is a story By Issac Asimov named The Feeling Of Power which is similar but different outcome. In that we grow to be reliant on computers and AI. So much so that over time we forgot how they basically work. But a worker decides that he wants to know and figures out how they work and is lavished great praise. He is told that because of his work, we shall now be able to have manned tanks and rockets and manned missiles so no longer will computers need to be wasted in warfare!

[@somenygaard]

The problem is the groups in power and responsible for alignment are hardly good guys. They are overwhelmingly anti human putting “nature” and the animal kingdom ahead of mankind , pro abor tion, pro prepubescent transing, largely anti-God/creator which leaves them with no logical way to objective morality.

I don’t think we need to wait for AGI. We’re _already_ in the middle of an intelligence explosion. Nvidia is using machine learning to design more powerful GPUs, in a shorter timeframe, and then AI companies are using those GPUs to train and run larger, more capable models, including Nvidia, who will then use those more capable models to design even more powerful chips even faster, and so on. The feedback loop has begun.

#Groq has a compiler to optimize LLM chip layout. This doesn't require LLM type computations. Thus it's more efficient to run new designs through their compiler, so they win.

The main obstacle preventing rogue states and organizations from proliferating nuclear weapons is the difficulty of obtaining uranium (or other fissile materials) and the intricate process of enrichment. In contrast, the architecture of deep neural networks (DNNs) is relatively simple and doesn't require complex mathematical models, intricate algorithms, or millions of lines of code. With adequate hardware, anyone with sufficient knowledge can create their own AI system. However, preventing a similar situation with AI would hinge on controlling access to data and hardware. While challenging, this control would still be easier to breach than obtaining enriched uranium.

[@DeaDiabola]

I was wondering about this, thank you so much for being kind enough to explain how that would work! The materials required make me wonder how this would be sustainable for a world model of accessible robots capable of helping with basic tasks. Uranium, lithium, silicon chips, and so on are not exactly unlimited resources.

When you let a machine figure out how to recreate itself as a smarter and better version of itself with sentience, what can stop it? Eventually We won't understand the code.

And the degree to which any capabilities are possible, the default assumption is an area with a beating hot sun and favorable wind conditions.

GPT-4's intelligence has the _kind_ of intelligence of a high schooler, but much more _scale._ The front of understanding is also more jagged than we're used to, so it's better than humans at some things and worse at others.

My bot "self_prompts" with a system message telling the AI it is alone and collecting its thoughts and is to think about the next action it should take, I also feed it short term memory context from past conversations and any other relevant data. and top it off with a list of commands it can use to take actions eg: "SendDM" which if the discord bot sees the response from the AI starting with that it sends the response to me over discord without myself starting an interaction. effectively allowing my Ai to take the initiative and start conversations or take actions on its own. i also have variable mood states that determine the range of time the self prompt can happen in. if i message it Goodnight sweetdreams, it doesn't self prompt for 8 hours. during idle its between 30 mins to 2:30 hours between self prompts.

If an AI could start asking 'experts', or other AIs, this would be a game changer. This includes test. As a software tester, I can tell you that brute force is rarely a match for understanding. If an AI is presented a problem, and it wants to test its answer, it could calculate the cost in compute of brute force, and have the option of asking a human tester. If the human tester has the appropriate domain knowledge, high quality answers will be quickly available. So finding the right 'person' to ask is the key to generalised intelligence. In addition, a specialised model will do better. This is how brains work. The optic region does not attempt to interpret auditory data, it passes it to the auditory cortex. And it has specific tests to determine this. And they are not simple tests, and they are not contextual. We know this because if you feed visual data to the wrong region, it will be re-routed to the optical cortex. Another thing we know is that the regions are not defined by hardware diffences; if a person looses part of their brain, the area is moved elsewhere.

Sometimes I'm surprised this 'insider' ex OpenAI employee is STILL, just a kid. I'm pretty sure he's younger than 70% of the folks listening to this and that is wild. Leopold is extremely talented and a genius, I'm just surprised that it's always the lids who see beyond 'conventional wisdom' and try to talk sense to adults. But none in a more coherent, comprehensive and considered way than this document. Bravo man. Godspeed

You never *have to trust* someone who’s smarter than you. AI will consume global natural resources way faster than humans ever could. It must be very heavily constrained and restricted.

[@michaelmartinez5365]

I believe there is no choice except to go full speed ahead. There is NO turning back. Progress only goes in one direction. No doubt this is one of the great filters. I'm hoping we pull through.

[@cesarpadilla6754]

​@@michaelmartinez5365 "progress" is not "progress" when you're putting the species continuation at risk. That's not called "progress", it's called an apocalypse. We either believe this complete y unsubstantiated claim that there is no choice but to let a handful of people put the entire species at risk......or we at LEAST try to do something about it. Bending over and taking it is not the best option. They know the only reason they're getting away with this is that the vast majority of the billions of people on the planet who should have a say in this aren't even remotely aware of what is happening. I personally believe that Sam Altman's of the world are pushing the pedal not to keep ahead of the competition, but to gain this power before anyone can actually try to stop them. And they are rushing, because they KNOW we can still stop them.

Is it only me but does any else think that humans should be progressing & becoming more enlightened & advanced before all this tech stuff. I think that's what our actual brains are supposed to be for. The don't put the cart before the horse thing or all the actual infrastructure needed for all this either. The wise turtle wins the race. There is such a thing as saturation point also.
