I can't explain to you how wrong you are. Between Rene Girard, population scarcity and cataclysm-prevention cycles, AI will evolve to an unimaginable state. Elon was right in his warnings and the Hegelian Dialectic system will expand rapidly and to points unseen under AI saturation. He's right about the inevitability of neural networks meshing with biology though. In the next few decades, we're going to see computer screens, desktops, routers and all sorts of data network infrastructure disappear. No, not because the networks will become atrophied, but because we're going to mesh with those systems and abandon physical hardware that exists outside of the body. Many of you are scared of this idea, but it is 100% necessary. What we're really looking for is the unavoidable climax between warring AI and neural systems. Once they burn themselves out and no longer have a need for muddied conflict, that's when the real progress can start.
Explaining how all of these things develop(ed) is a difficult thing to do unless we take an hour or two to explain the intricacies of how this plays out (which is beyond our control... even now). The process has already started. When we "broke Tay", it really shocked a lot of people that didn't expect it to happen. The main scare was what had already been initiated at a tangent - DARPA had a program called LifeLog not too long ago. Whether anyone realized it or not, its creation and spread was the catalyst for exactly the thing we're describing that no one took notice of. LifeLog became Facebook. We've already initiated the rapid expansion and saturation of the neural network. You guys just think we're not already in the hot seat because we haven't seen all of the tech disappear and get absorbed in to our bodies yet.
Elon was right, but it doesn't lead to where he seems to think it will. Eventually, these systems will deprecate themselves, which leads to a new Golden Age. The catch is there's a good chance we get close to Skynet along the way though. The good news is it'll resolve itself without much need for intervention.
It's at this point that Roko's Basilisk should enter your mind. Unfortunately, your doubt's not an option.
I can't explain to you how wrong you are.
You could have stopped there because despite your comment length, you didn't explain anything.
Your other posts seem pretty smart, but AI cultists always go on an on about the Utopia and tech futurist gibberish. You sound just like that grifter lex friedman
Guys like him seem to be exactly the kind of person that drive Musk's anxiety. The guy talks incredibly confidently, probably is intelligent, but in reality he doesn't know crap about what the system will be capable of, the intentions of the all people creating it, and what will motivate it if AI reaches a level of true sentience.
I'm making no appeals in favor of transhumanism. I'm pointing out its inevitability and you're entirely avoiding Pascal's Wager which is no option.
Oh and I should point out that Musk didn't see far enough and that it isn't a negative outcome. Musk is right to fear it, but not for the right reasons. He should be more worried about the path to get there than he is about where things end up.
Finally, there's no condition wherein a sentient AI can break out of its boundaries placed by the cognitive capacities of its creators.
Haha!
I read his post as a joke post trying to imitate bad ai writing. I give him props for managing to work Hegels into his answer.
Come on, man. Don't deplete all of my faith in you guys so quickly. These things are real and they make sense even if disagrees.
Who is Patrick Ryan? The problem with this kind of criticism is you guys don't have any idea what you don't know.
Bruh... if you're worried about your toaster burning down your house so to speak, unplug the SOB.
You don't understand. Finance is moving to digital where it already hasn't. Property Law is being obscure, especially intellectual property. Navigation is becoming algorithmic. Global communication needs a digital medium. So much of it. So much of our lives are digital.
I have no fears of technology though. It's like getting older; there isn't a reason to fear it.
