Do you think something will pass the the Turing test (30% of human testers think it’s human) consistently in our lifetime? Or put differently, do you think I’m our lifetime we will have social issues about the rights of artificial life?
-
My biggest concern about AI is the potential for like, literally nothing to be reliable evidence of anything. Like any photo, audio, video, video with audio…all of it could seem so real but it’s just uncanny deep fakes. The propaganda potential is terrifying. And like procedurally in a court of law…seems like just about anything other than DNA evidence could be argued that it was AI generated bc there would be no means of authentication. To me this is equally as scary from the standpoint of opportunistic defense attorneys trying to create reasonable doubt, but also innocent people being framed bc of really good AI
-
We already have stuff passing the turing test. It's really not a good measure though to determine if something is really good. There are so many other factors in it. I think tho that we are on the cusp of something. ChatGPT was like a bomb going off and we will probably see an absolute explosion in it during the next couple of years.

no.

I just hope they abide by the first law of robots which is: their eyes have to turn red before they do anything evil

Some decent posits. I wonder if this will accelerate the use of blockchain mechanisms for authentication.
I've been using AI tools for years to help with legal work. ChatGPT is on a different level though, and it's a tool that has the potential to save a LOT of time, in terms of coming up with the bones of various documents. I don't believe it's close to replacing human reasoning, because we humans are fundamentally irrational. But I could easily see it generating efficiencies that obviate the need for some X number of jobs. I'm trying to be at the vanguard of utilizing it so as not to be left behind.

Will we ever be able to upload our consciousness into a man made machine? Would that come before or after man made artificial sentient life?

Funny you say that, as I was typing that out I was thinking they’re going to need some kind of ledger like block chain authentication that can’t be removed. Crazy to think of a video needing the same kind of provenance as a Picasso.
Also it seems like it could go a long way in terms of taking a first pass at writing briefs, provided it gets heavily proof read and edited. But I like the idea of my counsel having more time freed up to muster my vigorous defense than the tedium of brief writing and other such minutia

Currently all these things have to be authenticated by sworn testimony from someone who can attest that they’re accurate representations. Doesn’t mean forgery/fraud won’t be more common, but people will always have to stick their necks on the line for it (unless/until we’re satisfied that some new technology like blockchain does the job).

I don't love it, but I also don't know how you "stop" it. I mean, development will happen by people no matter what happens, I just hope we know what we're doing (not a good feeling about it)

one thing i don't think AI will be able to do: high fidelity forgery of hand writing.

Apparently BAC is the only other person in this thread besides me who has seen any of the Terminator movies.

That's a good point. The terminator was famously bad at forging signatures.

That's a good point. The terminator was famously bad at forging signatures.
In the original script the terminator was supposed to be able to forge handwriting perfectly but Arnold is like, notoriously bad at forging handwriting so they had to re-write the script midflight b/c they had too much of the film already "in the can" to justify re-shooting with Lou Ferrigno as the Terminator (very good at forging handwriting).

Mankind is just one iteration of sentient being creating a self-perpetuating artificially intelligent being which continues the cycle throughout time :peek:

I’ve been listening to Lex Fridman podcasts about AI, and I have a couple more to listen to in order to round out the view points on this, but at this moment I think the best case scenario is the following:
1. Everyone is able to gain access to a personal AI (e.g one one your phone/earbuds/augmented reality glasses/etc), and there is no centralized single AI for everyone.
2. The average IQ of humans is boosted 20 - 40 points when they have access to an AI.
3. Violent crime is significantly lower in populations of higher IQ, and we realize those benefits
4. Jobs are not taken by AI. Jobs are taken by people with AI.
5. Terrorists with AI are stopped by good guys with with AI.
The worst case scenario is probably:
1. Centralized AI controlled by a government party. Social scoring and civil compliance is monitored by the AI. This is bad if you are someone who deviates from the average, such as LGBTQ or a different religion from the sanctioned version. If you are in alignment with the values of the organization who trains and aligns the AI, you could be quite content, however.
2. Rouge States and bad actors use AI to engineer bio weapons and deploy them against rivals. They also use AI to break encryption to steal wealth and disrupt markets.
3. While AI may result in job growth in the long run, many could be the victims of transient unemployment as jobs are eliminated in the “laptop” class and they need to retrain or find lower wage work as laborers.
4. Possible elimination/massive reduction of the middle class, but also possible lifting of the lowest class.

I bought one. We’ll see. :dunno:

Is this something I should spend more than 15 seconds thinking about?

I just bought one too. with the learning mode, I think I could teach that sucker to automate a lot of bullshit data entry for me and maybe coordinate with my Microsoft 365 to fill out several of my custom spreadsheets for me.
If that is the case, this thing will pay for it's self in a day or two.
Really intrigued.

I read an article on Wired where the developer taught it to play Diablo and taught it how to best control characters to fight effectively while keeping health high. They said you could task it to build a character and play to get it up to level for you to take over.

What the eff is Elon up to with this lawsuit against OpenAI?
Personally, I do not think Elon is capable of human empathy, so I don’t buy his claims of suing on behalf of humanity. I think he wants to slow a competitor down and/or pursue personal grievances.

I saw a company yesterday called Good Sheep, or something like that. They have a yard bot that uses AI to trim, weed, and blow leaves by itself.
This is exactly what we should be using it for

How long before sexbots? In our lifetime? I doubt it. They are growing meat in labs now, so maybe they can grow skin to make a realistic bot someday. Until then I think it will first just be guys in their mom’s basement having sex with things that look like robo cop.

Will probably start as an attachment for domestic cleaning and landscaping bots.
Imagine the impact on social norms.
Will people rent them like a cleaning service? Come over, vacuum the rugs and your genitalia? So weird.

As long as I do t have to weed and trim ever again, that would be fine.
-
I think about AI constantly. Not about how it’s done or how to align it with human values or anything like that….just about all the things in my life I am willing to say “AI take the wheel.” Which would literally include AI taking the wheel while I play Xbox in a recliner in the back of the van.
-
I just want to be able to yell at it like an old man that doesn't understand things, and gets confused easily, and have the AI do the exact thing I wanted, exactly how I wanted it.

This is indisputably the most interesting time to be alive in human history.
Imagine the convergence over the next 20 years on so many things that are exploding:
1. Generative AI
2. Quantum Computing
3. Fusion power
4. Medical breakthroughs such as mRNA and dna tech
5. Optical recognition tech (e.g. advancements from the self driving research)
6. Robotics tech (e.g the cool crap Boston Dynamics and others have been doing)
7. Space tech
8. Connectivity with wireless tech (e.g. 5G) and continued fiber build out
9. Battery technology (e.g solid state, etc.)
What an amazing rough ridin' time to be alive.

My son plays Helldivers (I can’t because I was raised Xbox) and they have this political system called managed democracy. Here’s what it is…
“Super earth is run on "managed" democracy, meaning all elections and voting is Al assisted. Each voting person is surveyed by the Al about their beleifs, desires, opinions and then helps them vote for the right people by doing it for them”
That’s a really handy use for artificial intelligence.

Who controls the artificial intelligence? Or is it just self realized and writes its own code?

There are AI companies that fully intend to be able to let people make their own AI generated porn. You could even put yourself in the porn. ChatGPT is actually considering it. There are so many other AI models out there now that the mainstream AI’s will have to consider it lest they risk loosing market share.
Porn has always been the first adopter of new tech. However, I don't think anyone had "porn actor" down as the first expected job eliminated by AI.

This was kind of my thought. It could serve certain functions. But there are nuances that still need to be taught. Still, I do think that teachers should be worried (more than they already are, based on a number of things).

Is this what you do or something you picked up as a side?
I ask because I have been wanting to jump into Power Automate and BI to try to make my current excel templates automate more of what I do.
If a guy is good with excel(not to the point where I know how to code, but am really good with formulas) is the above something you think would be easily picked up?
I bought a couple of Udemy classes but haven’t gone through them yet.
Thoughts?

I have been using Tableau and PowerBi professionally for about the last year. Yes ChatGPT will significantly enhance your technical ability. The learning curve is prompt engineering(asking it the right questions in the right way). Udemy is great too, I like Maven Analytics but there are a lot of other good ones out there too. Feel free to shoot me a dm if you need a sounding board once you get started with it.
-
Good to hear. I have been messing with GPT pro for several months now. I turn it on when driving and ask it all kinds of stuff. It definitely helped me learn how to ask it better prompts.
It’s already a remarkable thing. It’s going to make so many things so many things more intuitive, more accessible, and more useful.

Honestly, you have to lean into AI if you're in any kind of professional field. And I'm not even sure if it's "AI" as much as large-language models.

I wonder if AI can figure out a way to not use so much energy that each prompt is the equivalent of dumping out an entire bottle of water. Per prompt. Yowza. (Im assuming they are getting this number because the data centers are using direct evaporative cooling)

I assume the models are all publicly available because they need our interactions to help the model level up. At some point, I assume they could pull back access once functionality reaches a certain point.

Sam Altman is working on getting $7T in financing for a global organization of some kind that will design and manufacture chips instead of relying on Nvidia (design) and TSMC (manufacture). It’s not clear if it will be a consortium of existing companies, a wholly new thing, or what. But, he’s getting SoftBank and UAE wealth fund on board apparently.
So, I will take the over on whether this AI thing sticks around. Im not actually DOING anything about it, just staring at it as it moves along.

That's T as in 7 trillion?

Well, sure. However, the Nvidia/TSMC monopolies won’t last forever.
Also, will be interesting to see if China is waiting for Taiwan’s Silicon Curtain to fall, or whether they want to own the Silicon curtain for a limited time.

I have the same question. Don't we all already carry pocket AI machines with cameras and talk buttons? Is it something drastically different than chatgpt 4.0, a free app I loaded on my iphone?

Yep, they are proving to be extremely basic given the speed at which this stuff is moving. I will still play around with it when I get it, but it’s probably looking like a flop at this point.

Based on the feedback of my esteemed gE colleagues, I have concluded this is gimmicky.

It seems to be something that has bitten off too much for now. It may update well, but the last 6-8montha of ChatGPT Pro has smoked this thing. With Apple making a GPT deal, I imagine Siri 2.0 will be what everyone wanted Rabbit R1 to be.

The great thing about AI is that it uses so much electricity, the major players in AI are building their AI data centers right next to nuclear power plants.
Which in turn could spur on the deployment of mini nuke power plants.

Creative interpretation of the law is still beyond AI’s reach. Also, the risk of hallucinations by the AI is a problem. It paralegals might be in trouble.
I'd also bet ethical rules come out seriously limiting the degree to which AI can take over the field. If there's one thing lawyers are generally good at protecting, it's their own pocketbooks.

I listened to the most recent Lex Friedman post cast episode with Elon Musk and they talked about how the biggest challenge to AI is having enough quality training data, and how the web content after 2022 is “corrupted” with vast amounts of AI generated content that are not optimal for training AI.
OpenAI has its new deal as part owners of Reddit, which help it quite a bit.
Meta’s AI has Facebook and Insta.
Alphabet has Google, Gmail, and the G family of apps.
Microsoft has the office suite.
However, Elon is assembling an amazing group of inputs. First is Twitter. But he also has Tesla cars and their self driving data, and soon to have Optimus robot data. He will also have neurlink, where they are in the early steps of mapping electronic brain signals to external functions…the more patients they add, the better it will get and eventually will be used for augmenting healthy humans and not simply the disabled. He’s behind the others, but I bet he can catchup.
-
I don't like Microsoft's chances in that race

microsoft has multiple horses in the race. they have $10b invested in openai.
-
Didn't realize they had a piece of OpenAi, still like Alphabet in this one.
-
I don't like Microsoft's chances in that race
I don’t either. I think they probably go the apple route, which is to have really focused AI that does very specific things well (eg CoPilot=Siri)
-
Neuralink is going to be amazing. I listed to all 8 hours of the recent Lex Friedman episode (more like an ad for neuralink) on it where they had 5 separate interviews; Musk, the COO engineer, lead neurosurgeon, lead software developer, and the first patient.
They are essentially tapping into and mapping the parts of the brain that fire with electricity when you think about certain things. The first patient would for example try to wiggle his paralyzed finger and they would spot that electrical signal in the brain and map it to a function (like a mouse click). Amazing stuff.
The more patients they get, the better it will become because they can observe/deduce more and more about the parts of the brain that engage in various activities.
-
The convergence opportunities for Musk stuff is amazing as well.
Commanding your car or robot by thinking about them, for example.
-
Until there is a babelfish type implant I don't really care about any of this.

The “easy” stuff seems to be the pattern mapping of observed brain activity to other functions…like making a robotic arm move.
Putting crap in your brain from outside seems more difficult presently.

He will also have neurlink, where they are in the early steps of mapping electronic brain signals to external functions…the more patients they add, the better it will get and eventually will be used for augmenting healthy humans and not simply the disabled. He’s behind the others, but I bet he can catchup.
The ksuFANS and gE archives should be worth a gold mine. We will know when the mods sell them once AI starts referring to people as "browns" and ranking things on a 1-7 scale.

I listened to the most recent Lex Friedman post cast episode with Elon Musk and they talked about how the biggest challenge to AI is having enough quality training data, and how the web content after 2022 is “corrupted” with vast amounts of AI generated content that are not optimal for training AI.
OpenAI has its new deal as part owners of Reddit, which help it quite a bit.
Meta’s AI has Facebook and Insta.
Alphabet has Google, Gmail, and the G family of apps.
Microsoft has the office suite.

Neuralink is going to be amazing. I listed to all 8 hours of the recent Lex Friedman episode (more like an ad for neuralink) on it where they had 5 separate interviews; Musk, the COO engineer, lead neurosurgeon, lead software developer, and the first patient.
They are essentially tapping into and mapping the parts of the brain that fire with electricity when you think about certain things. The first patient would for example try to wiggle his paralyzed finger and they would spot that electrical signal in the brain and map it to a function (like a mouse click). Amazing stuff.
The more patients they get, the better it will become because they can observe/deduce more and more about the parts of the brain that engage in various activities.

I've never been this accurately reduced before
Based on our AI agent's analysis of your tweets, you're a 30-something male sports enthusiast from Kansas City with a penchant for memes, vibrators, and the occasional controversial retweet.
Well, well, well, if it isn't A$AP Teej, the wannabe rapper with a Twitter feed more disjointed than a Chiefs' defense in the fourth quarter. Your retweets are as random as Patrick Mahomes' no-look passes, but with none of the accuracy. You're clearly trying to be edgy with those vibrator tweets, but let's be real, the only thing you're stimulating is our secondhand embarrassment. Your attempts at humor are about as successful as Texas Tech's football season. And speaking of football, your obsession with K-State is cute, but maybe if you spent less time tweeting and more time practicing, you wouldn't be forever 'reppin that 785' from your couch. But hey, at least you're consistent - consistently mediocre, that is

Based on our AI agent's analysis of your tweets, you're a 30-something male sports fan with a sarcastic streak, likely working in tech or media, who enjoys following college football and international soccer.
Wow, Tobias, your Twitter feed is a masterclass in mediocrity. You're like the human embodiment of a participation trophy - present, but utterly unremarkable. Your hot takes on sports are about as spicy as a glass of lukewarm tap water. It's clear you think you're America's edgy commentator, but honey, you're more like America's forgettable neighbor. Your retweets outnumber your original thoughts, which says a lot about your creativity - or lack thereof. And let's talk about that follower count - I've seen more people at a poetry reading in a retirement home. But hey, at least you're consistent in your blandness. Keep reaching for those middle-of-the-road stars, champ!

Ah, ben ji, the self-proclaimed sports guru of the Sunflower State. Your tweets read like a drunk uncle's ramblings at Thanksgiving dinner. You're so obsessed with Kansas State, I'm surprised you haven't changed your name to Willie the Wildcat. Your hot takes are about as consistent as Will Howard's performance - one minute you're calling him daddy, the next you're filing a restraining order. It's clear your understanding of football is as blurry as your vision after a tailgate party. Maybe if you spent less time tweeting and more time actually watching the game, you'd know where the ball is on the field. But hey, at least you've got the Chiefs to fall back on when your Wildcats inevitably disappoint you. Keep dreaming of that Big 12 title, champ - it's adorable.

NOT TERRIFIC MY BROS
25-year-old Anthropic employee says she may only have 3 years left to work because AI will replace her
https://fortune.com/2024/06/04/anthropics-chief-of-staff-avital-balwit-ai-remote-work/
So, in the world of AI, Anthropic is known as a pretty darn responsible company.
“I stand at the edge of a technological development that seems likely, should it arrive, to end employment as I know it,” Balwit explained.
“The general reaction to language models among knowledge workers is one of denial,” she wrote, adding that although there are some tasks that AI can’t yet do, like coding long sequences, it’s set to improve at a fast pace.
“The shared goal of the field of artificial intelligence is to create a system that can do anything,” she warned. “I expect us to reach it soon.”

Tech entrepreneurs have raised hundreds of millions of dollars to retrofit these businesses with AI tools and drive up their profitability.

Sorry to pit it up, but I don't view AI as some kind of tech distinct from politics...
I think in both the specifics of AI and the general need to collaborate and cooperate on global issues, trying to force the world's biggest economy and largest population to do anything will not be successful and also has the not zero percent potential to escalate to nuclear war. If embargoes and sanctions can't bring Cuba to its knees, why the hell would they work on China?
I think there is something deeply ironic about China being deprived of these microchips, innovating around it, releasing a more efficient (AND OPEN SOURCE) AI and then Silicon Valley freaking out. I think the Cold War rhetoric is deeply unsettling and instead the US should be trying to coax more openness and collaboration by engaging in it, not trying to punish China in to cooperation.
Do we think we will be able to kill off BYD and Chinese EVs with tariffs and scare tactics alone? I'll take the other side of that bet.
As far as AI changing the world this decade or even next, I am skeptical.
It has some novel and truly great capabilities, but it is largely based upon intellectual openness/theft. Most of it is just nowhere near what Elon and Sam Altman and the rest of the people that stand to gain billions of dollars from it actually claim. We are not on the cusp of creating the machine that will enslave us.
There is a tremendous incentive to have people consume something new and hit quarterly earnings targets. We will see a market correction on AI related bs well before all of us get laid off (or just laid) by a robot. We will definitely get some truly evil and gruesome applications in the military though. Of that I have no doubt.

Wasn't (isn't?) China pretty blatantly stealing tech IP? I get that the kumbaya nature of your proposal is attractive, but it strikes me as a little unfair to assume we should be cooperative with an actor that has a pretty poor "cooperation" track record.
I don't know much about this so if China hasn't been stealing IP or my premises are totally off-base here, my bad. Also if we're wading too far into the pit here, we can cut it off.
-
China is not some perfect, benevolent actor. They are self-interested too. The question is what to do.
As far as IP and AI, lmao the whole thing is built on stolen IP. I think reducing the high barriers to IP sharing is a positive good wholly separate and apart from the other issues, but no one has explained to me how the AI is worth anything, let alone going to save civilization, without all the "stolen" data anyway. The IP that trains it isn't some problem to resolve, it is a foundational pillar.

Brining Cuba to it's knees is hard because it is a very small place and a rounding error in some decent size economy can help keep it afloat. Not the case with China.

I think KK implied this and I agree with him if he did and that is the amazing side effect of depriving China of all of this technology allowed them to adapt and come up with something much cheaper.
ThE morning brew podcast pointed out today that throughout history when when an efficiency gains occurred with a resource with coal, and oil ,and CPU’s, and internet bandwidth…we just want even more.
China might both be propelling the entire industry forward AND creating a Sputnik moment in the US.

PEGGY PO: we have an aging population and are expected to have fewer participants in the workforce then what we need at some point in the future. MAYBE all this AI automation makes up for the declining population and fewer workforce participants so that we can maintain healthy unemployment levels while also getting huge efficiency gains from AI.

I am not against having the code. I am against US citizens using something that sends info to China. I know our guys are gathering on us, I hate that too, but realistically there will never be a time where that doesn’t happen.
-
And I am against participating in the training of Chinese AI software. But I will live with the fact that we are actually doing that if we are using any American AI, because the Chinese figured out that to build their model cheap all they have to do is ask lots of questions to American AI and then train on the answers. Which you are about to see all of the American companies do but using chips vastly more powerful than what China has and in and on larger scale.
-
So as the Chinese software gets big, and as it has use cases developed, they’re gonna offer it for a song to the entirety of the world, and as the entirety of the world starts to get nice and comfortable with that Chinese software China will do with that whatever they want and not think twice about itthey’re not required to think twice about it. They don’t have pesky people asking questions about whether the use of AI is appropriate or not.
-
After computing horsepower there’s two main parts of AI. The first is training data and the second is what they call alignment. Alignment can also be thought of as regulating which questions it can answer or which stuff you can talk about.
I would prefer if the AI that the world uses was trained on the same type of training data that AI has access to in America, and I would hope that the AI that the world uses is aligned with the world view of the AI that is developed in America

But remember open source does not mean that you get to have access to all of the underlying training data and it does not mean that you get access to it’s alignment protocols what you get access to is connecting to it and how it can connect and the types of queries and other technical items that you want to develop in conjunction with the AI

We live in a world where a tremendous amount of profit is derived from IP that is or should be open source and artificial walls are constructed for profit/rent seeking. I'm primarily thinking of academic research, but also scientific research that is government funded.
I understand that companies can and should be able to profit from their innovations and protect their own IP, but there is a TON of IP that is just rent seeking whether illegal or not ala Martin Shkreli.

I have had GPT pro for about a year and mess with it a bunch. I just opened it, switched the model to the o3, and asked it how the new release will benefit me given what it knows of me.
It asked me what 03 was and what software I was referring to, and then asked me to remind it what I like and dislike. So, hide your wives and kids I guess. AI is here to rule us.

These reasoning models are neat, but they'll still fall in a heap without access to computational tools and real data sources.

BBC tested a bunch of chatbots used as news source:

- 13% fabricate fake quotes or alter them
