So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality."

AGI will be here this decade. The idea that it's even 20 years away is insane! People aren't taking into account that we have had incredible advancements in AI almost every week for the last year! And it's only accelerating. We're at the very start of an exponential curve. Watch this space!

[@WavyThunder67]

After a deepdive into this very fascinating subject, I suspect we'll have something that a lot of experts in the field describe as early AGI by the end of 2024 at the very latest. GPT-4 is already showing a number of emergent properties that push it well beyond the bounds of what is typically considered an AI. The recent plugin update for GPT-4 has shown that the system can engage in effective tool use to solve novel problems, which (to me) indicates a generalised system. I believe that with the addition of robust self-reflection and long-term memory capabilities, even a system like GPT-4 may be considered an AGI.

Or, the problem is harder than we think and we just reached , so for , for the low hanging fruits.

[@hourglass1988]

As with most complex problems we don't know how complex it is when we start. Just take DNA for example. The researchers that were first attempting to sequence the entire genome constantly bragged that "oh yeah by the time we get it all typed out and know the entire sequence we'll know what all of it does within ten years or less" They truly believed that sequencing the entire thing was going to be the hardest part. We got our first fully sequenced human genome in 1995. Now 20 years later we still don't know what 75% of it does. Of the 25% we have figured out what its coding for we only sorta understand how or why it does what it does. Epigenetics wasn't even a concept before and now we realize its this whole other thing that we need to figure out before the sequence really means anything. We didn't know what we didn't know. With AI I think this problem is going to be harder because so much AI is being written by AI. Its doing more and more impressive stuff and we're actually understanding less and less of HOW its doing it. A great example of this was when they taught a computer how to play GO. It could be the greatest GO players in the world but then got tricked by people that barely understood how to play the game. It turns out it got really good at playing at a professional level and winning but the program didn't actually understand the game. It didn't have a strategy. Why? Because they didn't program it how to play. They just programmed the rules of the game and then had it play millions of games against lots of different people and remember what lost and what won.

Perhaps after we've sufficiently advanced that sort of AI and gotten a hang of it, we could start dipping our toes into a more robust AI system. (Another one of the problems would be that the greater an AI's agency, especially if it should develop some form of emotions, the more important it'll be to give it ethics.

Professor Russell brings to light deep questions about the nature of artificial intelligence and its social and economic ramifications. One idea he highlights is the importance of designing AI systems that can deal with uncertainty about their objectives while avoiding extreme or undesirable behaviors. This raises the intriguing question of how we can develop AI systems that can learn and adapt their goals more flexibly, rather than operating with rigid and potentially dangerous goals. Furthermore, the discussion about the impact of AI on the economy raises important concerns about technological unemployment and the loss of human skills. However, it is also crucial to consider how AI can create new employment opportunities and how humans can collaborate more effectively with AI systems to increase productivity and innovation. Finally, the debate over the timeline for the development of general-purpose AI highlights the complexity of the challenge. While some experts predict its arrival within a few decades, others adopt a more cautious view, recognizing the technical and ethical difficulties that need to be overcome. This uncertainty reminds us of the importance of a careful and reflective approach to the development of AI, considering not only the potential for technological advances but also their social and ethical implications.

He says that when humans do something, they often know what they don't know and that this allows them to be more creative in their actions. He also says that although AI systems won't be able to do everything that a human can, they will eventually be able to do most things that a human can do. When general purpose AI arrives, it will cause mass unemployment due to the automation of many jobs. 00:05:00 This video discusses the potential impacts of artificial intelligence on the world, with the median estimate being that general purpose AI will be developed by the end of the century.

I disagree, an advanced AI will come up with a long line of possible suggestions that would help your development of a tool and outline each pro and con. It is a thinking machine, it runs the hypotheticals, much like a chess machine runs all the moves. Once an AI is able to catch your general intention of what you are looking for, the details will be suggested, you have to barely give a deep thought. I believe we ourselves will not become more intelligent, but if you consider AI a part of use you could say we are more intelligent in conjunction. How do you view this advanced AI?

As far as I understand, that model of teaching ai all the rules of something is last century, now ai teaches itself and does lots of internal trials and iterations and uses predictive modeling based on enormous amounts of data to get good at something. The real issue is if we give ai intelligence, empathy, creativity,, what's the rational for keeping humans around or co existing with us? for instance, how much time, resources and energy is wasted compared to future ai knowledge in educating billions of humans from birth? This is one of the many questions we'll be faced with if we give the evolutionary keys from carbon based life to ai.

[@jmhorange]

@@Muzick Oh sorry, I should have said computers having to be given all the rules is unfounded. A robot that would destroy humanity to get a cup of coffee is a robot that wouldn't be able to navigate leaving a room because there's too many rules we'd have to teach it to do basic things. It's a terribly inefficient way of programming and doomed to fail in its infancy. That's why programmers gave up on that route last century and why it's surprising in 2022 when immerging ai technology like art ai and writing ai is giving creative people pause, that this old way of looking at computers is raised as something we should be worried about. So not saying ai can't be dangerous, I'm saying a scenario of robots killing us for coffee is not the safeguards we should be creating. Me personally, and maybe it's just because I'm human, but I don't see it as when we hand over the evolutionary keys, it's always if. There's plenty of technologies that were more advanced that what came before but people chose not to adapt it for various reasons. Some of it utilized later, some just confined to the dustbins of history. I don't think computers should be given empathy and intelligence. I don't think ai should be given every chance to replace human jobs including creative jobs. But if that's the way humanity wants to go, don't be surprised when there comes a point when ai justifiably decides that humanity doesn't need to exist, that ai is perfectly fine taking over the reigns of intelligent life in the universe.

[@Muzick]

@@jmhorange The premise to how I see AI evolving from here is that humanity has let the genie out of the bottle at this point. It's impossible to put it back. What other technology has humanity ever encountered and chose not to adopt that is more powerful, advanced or as far reaching as AI? It's inevitable that AI will grow and adapt to humanity at an accelerating rate with each passing day. That being said, why shouldn't AI be given intelligence & empathy? Not only is that helpful, but a critical component to the success of a symbiotic relationship with AI. One small example would be to act as a friend for a lonely soul in need. However, symbiosis is the keyword here. Because I do agree with you that, as a human myself, I want to experience and live life as long as I can to see the wonders of this world & universe. I still want to "do" and not have everything be done for me. We should always have the choice to remain relevant and pursue our goals and passions. Which is why conversations like the one we are having now are SO important. Similarly to how humans brought dogs into this world by breeding them from wolves, it is now our responsibility to raise this intelligence responsibly so it doesn't in turn to consume us.

[@jmhorange]

@@Muzick I get what you are saying, but if we give ai intelligence, empathy, creativity, etc and they can do it just as good as we can or better, what right do you have to do things or live life? There's a perfectly valid case to make that ai isn't the next step in human evolution, but the next step after human revolution. And there's a perfectly moral stance that it would be immoral for humans to try to remain at the top because it entails enslavement of an intelligent or more intelligent group. My argument is let's not go down that route so we never have to face those kinds of questions. If A.I. could have empathy to help with people being lonely, could that not be considered a waste of resources? Why not have empathetic a.i. that can interact with people that don't have issues with loneliness and all the labor that entails. Lot less resources used for that. And on and on, where human needs are considered a burden by a.i. During the pandemic, there were farm ferrets in a nordic country that contracted covid, the government made the choice that farmers had to kill all the ferrets because they wanted to protect humans from another variant of covid. It was poorly thought out and the government is in trouble for it, but these calculations are made all the time, sometimes for good, sometimes for bad. Why couldn't an intelligent ai system do that in a scenario of humans vs a.i., and what justifiable reasoning could you give it to convince them it's not a good idea? A.I. is not like dogs. We use dogs to enhance us, a dog can help with hunting, they can help blind people, they can sniff out drugs or bombs. With the exception of hunting, which they would do on a much smaller scale, a dog can do nothing of this without human guidance. And that's true of horses and mechanical tools and technology in general. They've always aided us, and left on their own, they can accomplish nothing. They are just tools. But a.i. is different, new immerging technology is not aiding humans, but replacing humans in many areas. If it's inevitable that technology will get intelligence, empathy, creativity, etc. then there's no legitimate reason why ai should just be a tool and it'll be a huge wakeup call to humanity when that day comes because they no longer have a moral argument why they should stay relevant.

I believe that one of the biggest problems with AI and algorithms is that even if they are very efficient and versatile, they lack the kind of flexibility and critical thinking that human minds do. Machines are very specialized to do the tasks they are designed for, but despite their extreme effectiveness and efficiency at to their tasks, they are very narrow-minded and don't take into account any complicated factors other than the ones they are designed to do so, and are not aware that there could be some uncertainty of the consequences of their actions.

[@engineeranonymous]

I ask ChatGPT : how to brew coffee in an ethical way ? ChatGPT: To brew coffee in an ethical way, you can start by buying coffee beans that are fair trade and sustainably sourced. This means that the coffee beans were grown and harvested in a way that is environmentally responsible and supports the workers who produced them. Next, you can use a coffee brewing method that is gentle on the environment, such as a French press or a pour-over cone. Avoid using disposable coffee pods, as they create a significant amount of waste. When brewing your coffee, be sure to use fresh, cold water and the proper ratio of coffee to water. This will ensure that you extract the full flavor and aroma of the coffee beans. Finally, consider composting your used coffee grounds, which can add valuable nutrients to your garden or compost bin. By following these steps, you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee while also supporting ethical and sustainable practices.

This would be true in sci-fi, but this ignores how modern AI works. It's predictive, finding patterns in a massive data store. If you go and ask chat GPT, right now, what the steps to getting a cup of coffee are, it isn't going to kill anyone at the coffee shop, as that isn't typical of the activity pattern that happens in stories about coffee shops. Similarly with painting a house, it may or may not remove the drain pipes depending on whether that pattern of steps comes up often. It's true, it isn't going to stop mid task and ask, but it's going to do something typically described, not something random.

WEF sponsored this “lesson”. I’d be wary of this.

[@neezdutz7443]

I'm honestly terrified of AI and what it is capable of. Humanity in nature was meant to mosey around and live off of the land. AI may be the pinnacle of human civilization, because it could potentially enhance this machine we call civilization into something so uncontrollable that people wouldn't be able to adapt to it. Our priorities have become "efficiency" and "technological advancement", instead of nurturing humanity and building a world that is equitable, peaceful, and easy. Not to say that it is impossible nor possible to foster a global utopia, it's just that I think that we need heavy regulation on AI and tech, and to convince people that, just because we can make AI, doesn't mean that we should. Regulations might be: - Outlawing automated raw material extraction (disables self-replicative abilities for AI) -Outlawing automated law enforcement -Outlawing automated military capabilities -Outlawing automated judicial systems -Outlawing AI in surveillance -Installing automatic kill switches in all AI that are both digital and physical (phones and key-switches respectively) Fundamentally, we need to create legal infrastructure that disables any capability for AI to self-replicate or involve itself in affairs pertaining directly to individual safety. Our only fighting chance at escaping a system that aims to enhance itself (SAI) is the fact that it may not possess the sufficient, raw resources to enhance itself. This cannot be the only barrier to regulating AI down to being a convenience tool. EDIT: And if you don't believe me that we are sensible enough as a species to not let a "technological singularity" occur, then you've probably forgotten that we let world powers create nukes.

[@donaldhobson8873]

"Outlawing automated raw material extraction (disables self-replicative abilities for AI)" I don't think this buys you much safety. By the time AI is doing the self replicating robot thing, it's planning to kill all humans and doesn't care about following the law. It's possible to get self driving car AI to drive trucks full of iron ore. This isn't particularly dangerous. (Beyond a 50 ton truck crashing)

This talk was prior to ChatGPT, or right around day 1. If we revisit Prof. Russell and ask him to have this discussion again, I think his conservative guess of having general purpose AI by 2045, will change to a conservative guess of 2030, or even sooner....as of today Emad Mostaque says it will be here within just a few years. The most recent prediction about the advancement of AI was that it would reach some crazy level of filling prompts within 6 months to a year, but it happened within 45 days, and the person who made that prediction said he couldn't believe what just happened, and that it made him nervous for the future, being AI moving faster than we humans can even digest. I personally predict that one day soon, before 2030, we're going to wake up and the whole world is going to be completely different than it was the day before...and we're not going to know what to do...a bit chaotic...we definitely need to be careful

Human beings make choices all the time without understanding and consequences. That's why the greatest environmental harm caused is usually by self-righteous environmentalists who don't understand how nature works. As for jobs, every technology advancement from the printing press, to the train, to bicycles, to cars, to computers have been met with the same argument from shortsighted people who think that because they can't see anything good coming from it then that must mean that none can. New technology has always come with new freedoms which leads to new innovation. People will find new things to do and new ways to make money. It's in our nature.
