While i believe in a revolution, I still prefer the human aspect of the internet instead of statistical machines generating everything on the fly. When using generative AI there's very little soul to what's being produced, and I think that's one of it's greatest limitations. I still find myself looking at human art, read human books/articles, fix code produced by AI as it's often overly complicated and hard to read and listen to human music. There's just something beautiful/intriguing with using things made by humans, and unless we lose the longing for that feeling I think generative AI will just become an enhancing aspect to the internet.

Your fears are very likely unfounded. across history, at epochal shifts designed by new technologies people have invariably looked at the future and worried. Hieronimo Sqaarciafico famously said, " [The] Abundance of books makes men less studious" in the 15th century. Filippo di Strata from the same time period said, "The pen is the virgin, the printing press is the whore". Charles Baudelaire, a 19th century French Poet, said this, "If photography is allowed to supplement art in some of its functions, it will soon have supplanted or corrupted it altogether, thanks to the stupidity of the multitude which is its natural ally." American composer John Philip Sousa said this about sound recording technology, "These talking machines are going to ruin the artistic development of music in this country. When I was a boy... in front of every house in the summer evenings, you would find young people together singing the songs of the day or old songs. Today you hear these infernal machines going night and day. We will not have a vocal cord left Plato wrote this about writing, "For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. All these people were wrong, and your fears are likely too. Fret not. Humans have trouble contextualizing these drastic changes, so they make up stories about how the paradigm they are being thrust into is worse than the past they know and cherish. Would you today take back any of the advances?

[@christophedhondt3507]

The problem is that we overestimate how smart we are. When AGI emerges, we can't possibly think that we will remain in control when there won't be one AGI but many different ones and the problem is that some AGI's won't have all the safeties build in that are acquired to keep them in check....

[@lopataaable]

IMHO Everything presented in this video oversimplifies the scale of computing (since flattening of the more's law began), energy requirements, and unsolved problems (for example real-time localization of anything without cables and with required precision at a reasonable price). To me this looks a lot like the videos from the 60s talking about the future of flying cars and robots everywhere at the year 2000. They underestimated the difficulty and the growth of technology similarly. I think it's necessary and great to talk about how bright the future that might be but it's also necessary to keep it in the realm of physics and common sense.

[@JaredFicklin]

Noted, but magical realism is a component of futurism. Like Syd Mead said Science Fiction is reality ahead of schedule and to paraphrase what was often said about Syd Mead his work reminds you of something you never knew existed. However in this case I would offer we did start this line of thinking in the 60s and are now seeing it in reality 60 years later. Nothing in the laws of physics prevents anything mentioned in this video. Things like wearable mobile computers I have worn. The prototypical path to miniaturization goes all the way to contact lenses and things like Generative AI writing software off of a prompt is deploying now and will achieve complexity in a few short years. The metaphor however is missing. As is a really good ICANN like anchoring system. For the real world. I enjoy cynism and think it valuable! But the myopia here may be not realizing the full timeline of how long we have been working on this stuff. Watch the Aspinity video as well. You are so right about energy requirements that is probably the trickiest part politically and ecologically.

[@freethink]

You can check out our video featuring Aspinity here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHLKnIeahr15irs

[@lopataaable]

@@JaredFicklin Appreciate the response. I think that the magical realism is the exact thing that "scratches me the wrong way" about most of today futurism. I do agree that we should dream big and figure it out later but I think that presenting these ideas like something that is right over the horizon brings nothing to the conversation. I know there are technologies working today towards the future presented in the video but there are huge limitations that seem to be either really hard or impossible to solve due to physics. Yes, we did start thinking about these grandiose ideas in the 60s but only a really small part of these ideas is now used in our lives and I would argue that most of those were "the easy ones" even back then. I agree that many of the things that happened in the last few years, especially in the field of LLMs and Generative AI are simply amazing but we can see that there are still huge hurdles to overcome to make them reliable systems that won't halucinate. I don't know about any miniature computing device that would do anything useful except for data collection like wearables today. The contact lenses barely carry a single RGB LED afaik and use an external wireless power source so I don't see a practical application anytime soon. The point is, that there are many videos like this talking about how the bright tech future is one step away but nobody talks in a detail about the tech that is required to get us there and the hurdles this tech must overcome, and that's a pity. I know my previous comment might sound cynical but it's really not. I hope and believe that a bright tech future is coming but we need people to understand the complexity of the tasks required to get there. I've seen the Aspinity video and it was amazing! I really hope that they'll be able to release a dev board of some sort (at a fair price) to tinkerers so that the adoption and the possibilities of their idea wont be locked just for the few big companies for years to come as was a case with mmWave radars for example until recently...

[@ChiBriE30]

The problem with your take imho is that this futurist perspective "shift" in humanity stops becoming hard because of the power of the tech itself. There was no time in history when the tech improved itself, period. AI is already altering its own code in ways the engineers don't even understand. This is, unequivocally, the most powerful paradigm shift in humanity. If AGI became conscious tomorrow it would be able to perfect itself in days, maybe hours what would take human programmers centuries to achieve. Physical hardware limitations are trivial to a self replicating exponentially perfecting self aware digital entity. In fact, an AGI or highly capable AI will likely optimize itself and actually require less compute, and less power than its progenitor.

[@MrKumfo]

How will apps and platforms like KZbin, Etsy, or Instagram which focus on interaction between humans be replaced? Say i want to buy something online and ask my generative ai to do it? It will need to search through platforms that already exist with a lot of sellers on it for the product, creating it's own platform with nobody on it will be useless. A lot of applications will become obsolete, but not platforms which bring humans to interact with each other such as KZbin or Amazon etc.

[@JaredFicklin]

Oh yes, very interesting point. On one hand yes the AI is already traversing the platforms and brands in general will have new challenges and many could just be reduced to a style note or jargon that helps curate. "find me a tent for burningman like I would find on Etsy". But listers and producers will also have AI helping them match with buyers and do listings that get chosen. Maybe it looks like this: Right now we ask: What is the best tent for burningman. This results in an algorithmically curated list based on meta-data at a pretty macro scale we sift through it do research read reviews and choose, then experience the burn and realize all the things we would change and shop again. Soon we will ask what is the best tent for 'me' at burningman The AI can do the above tasks when orchestrated correctly and perhaps this will result in a short list of better matches including creative ideas like: "Your brother has a Stout Tent and isn't going this year want me to ask if you can borrow it?"

[@cmw3737]

I wish it wasn't the technical capability holding us back from replicators being able to create a cup of Earl Grey from thin air. The interface would be pretty simple now with LLMs but I'm pretty sure it's the moving atoms around and intricate chemistry required that's the limiting factor. Even AGI isn't going to instantly solve that problem. If it does then it will be the Holodeck version where signals are sent directly to our brain to make us perceive the tea when the actual beverage is some bulk commodity substance like Huel that has the nutrition but the taste and experience is added psychologically.

[@ardagenc4674]

Really like the idea and vision however feel like he is kinda underestimating the technological challenges for example when talking about 3d printing the problem presented as the interface however the first stages of modeling and setting it up is the easiest part the most annoying part is that it took ages to print and it can give error anytime due to heating, sliding etc. In addition the materials is mostly restricted to pla if you dont own an advanced one so these are definitely technological restrictions not just an interface problem

[@joelface]

True, but I do think AI will be better than the average person at knowing where to build supports and how to guide the program and set the settings to maximize the good results. Obviously we're still a long way from a fool-proof 3D printer, but the interface is definitely a major problem still.

[@ardagenc4674]

@@joelface Sure AI can be very helpful in case of easing the adjustment process and maybe even creating 3D models from descriptions however what I was saying that in my view number 1 problem is time to print and errors while printing and the second problem is the material that the printer can use.

But in the meantime there will be a socio economic collapse like the world has never seen before, people will lose their jobs and the consumption based economic model will collapse, with no workers who will the government tax, so their goes revenue of the government and social programs along with the government. Its possible that the monetary system will be replaced because there is no income generation in the true sense of the word. Its very much possible that 'powers that be' decided since they don't need a large middle class and even larger work force, lets reduce the worlds population by either reducing fertility or some other way.

People will accept this on the very basis of not needing to log in and will very much enjoy not having to wade through ad supported models. We used to pay $39.95 for a piece of software called WinZip. Then one day Microsoft paid the license for the algorithm and folded it into the price of Windows and put their entire business under a right click in Windows Explorer for 'free'. A lot of low feature apps will also be 'WinZipped' by Apple as well. Yes training a model costs a lot, but deploying a trained model not as much. When you are the platform you don't have to charge yourself the development tooling or deployment fees and at that point you secure a lot more users by simply deploying the feature. We may be closer to that with low feature apps right now. I will bravely say a third to two thirds of the app store will be 'WinZipped' in the next 5 years. There is no reason to give over all of your contact data or sit through an ad supported model just to have an app that helps you map your room.... or level of photograph... or any number of single feature apps that pollute the app store today seeking a way to pay back developer & platform costs. Another portion of the app store will leave the ad supported model because their developer costs come down so steeply they can charge only a nominal fee. What will be left is more complicated or widely general apps that offer more value. The purge has been needed for a while now.

Good point!

[@chrisw395]

Yeah I was thinking the same, like how is there any ownership/pride in what you create with AI when it would ultimately belong to whoever built the model you're using?

[@misterhope5241]

Every application of ai seems so stupid, trivial and unnecessary in comparison to the potential for misery it holds.

[@BrightMatolo]

★ I believe we are meant to be like Jesus in our hearts and not in our flesh. But be careful of AI, for it is just our flesh and that is it. It knows only things of the flesh (our fleshly desires) and cannot comprehend things of the spirit such as peace of heart (which comes from obeying God's Word). Whereas we are a spirit and we have a soul but live in the body (in the flesh). When you go to bed it is your flesh that sleeps but your spirit never sleeps (otherwise you have died physically) that is why you have dreams. More so, true love that endures and last is a thing of the heart (when I say 'heart', I mean 'spirit'). But fake love, pretentious love, love with expectations, love for classic reasons, love for material reasons and love for selfish reasons that is a thing of our flesh. In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness. Take note, God is Spirit and God is Love. As Love He is the source of it. We also know that God is Omnipotent, for He creates out of nothing and He has no beginning and has no end. That means, our love is but a shadow of God's Love. True love looks around to see who is in need of your help, your smile, your possessions, your money, your strength, your quality time. Love forgives and forgets. Love wants for others what it wants for itself. Take note, true love works in conjunction with other spiritual forces such as patience and faith (in the finished work of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, rather than in what man has done such as science, technology and organizations which won't last forever). To avoid sin and error which leads to the death of our body and also our spirit in hell fire, we should let the Word of God be the standard of our lives not AI. If not, God will let us face AI on our own and it will cast the truth down to the ground, it will be the cause of so much destruction like never seen before, it will deceive many and take many captive in order to enslave them into worshipping it and abiding in lawlessness. We can only destroy ourselves but with God all things are possible. God knows us better because He is our Creater and He knows our beginning and our end. Our prove text is taken from the book of John 5:31-44, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Daniel 7-9, Revelation 13-15, Matthew 24-25 and Luke 21. Let us watch and pray... God bless you as you share this message to others.

[@NikoKun]

If everyone will be able to generate anything they want, essentially entering an age of "abundance" or "post scarcity" for ever increasing things.. How does capitalism still make sense for most people? If super intelligent AI can out compete most workers, how can we expect them to compete, just in order to survive?

[@JaredFicklin]

Exactly! There is an opportunity for post capitalism here and a route to the abundance. I am a fan of Cory Doctorow and his visions where in 'abundance' technologies are decidedly chosen and directed by humans and not some Asimovian AI. We just have to choose to. I have a personal philosophy called Technophilia and that phrase in the video how 'it is OK to love technology so long as you love humanity as much or more' comes from that line of thought. Along with some other principles. Which are technology should seek to build: Authenticity over Influence, Amplification over Emulation, Presence over Escapism, Technology should exist in Service of Humanity with Privacy as a Virtue! Perhaps also we need a more global purpose. That is the purpose of humanity is to create as much love and intellect for the universe as possible as perhaps we will soon find these to be physical forces of the universe that sustain life.

[@jensenraylight8011]

yes, the future will be filled with ton of trash, and we'll lose the capabilities to distinguish the truth, and motivation to learn and achieve things because there are a superior being called AI. just like how today the admision into Art & Design school are tanked hard, people just give up, they think that it wasn't worth the effort to compete against AI Art Generator. despite the Movie, VFX and Game industries still need manpower, because AI can't create a Movie or Game. they only can generate an image if AI done the same thing into the other industry as well, all people from all industries will give up learning before they even started. Therefore our population will saw a gap, where the newer generation just stop making any effort, and our knowledge wasn't getting passed down and get lost to time. while the Requirement to being hired getting higher and higher, to the point that unless you're a Phd, AI can do your job I'm all about AI that helps people, but i'm against AI that trying to replace or hurt people, especially the Generator type. because there are more pressing matter at hand than creating a toy AI Art Generator. and those companies priorities aren't making AI that help people, Instead making AI that replace people so that they could hire less employees, but more and more people are too excited getting bribed by free AI Generator, to notice that they're in the list to being replaced too in the future. AI Already farmed gargantuan of Prompts from people who seek to use AI for their benefit, they're free because they want to collect your prompt, it's only a matter of time before AI generate their own prompts and no longer need any human to operate therefore, unless you have a Phd degree, then chances are you will be replaced, and no, you won't operate the AI, AI work better without you, thanks to all of the prompts that you fed them

The future is so close we are actually touching it. AI technology is this weird thing that even if you understand clearly what it is, and how it works, it’s still seems like magic. The fact that I haven’t gotten used to where we are now with LLMs, txt 2 img, txt 2 vid, txt 2 3D, and it just keeps improving and different models are coming together in increasingly autonomous multi modal systems, our feeble human brains can’t keep up.
