This week a disturbing bombshell rocked the AI development world. The firing of Sam Altman, CEO of the leading AI development firm ‘OpenAI’, unleashed an avalanche of speculation and insider leaks that began to paint a grim picture of some potentially frightening secret breakthroughs at the spotlighted AI firm.
"If Russia or China could offer the world a true alternative, one with the potential for real equitability, and non-extractive, exploitative, rent-seeking techno-corporate depredation by way of transhumanist enslavement built into its very heart and core, then the nefarious globalist powers will fail."
Is that where we are at, hoping/praying that Russia or China will pull our nuts out of the fire?
And looking at it from another direction, what is the embodied energy of these Q* entitites? Are they just going to suck the entire energy grid to their needs? Then what happens to them?
Q was probably my favorite Star Trek character, but it was always necessary to suspend disbelief on the energetic credibility of any and every Star Trek narrative.
My understanding is that the raw computing power dedicated to AI is doubling every six months. This leads to about 1000x increase in computational power in 5 years or so; and a similar rise in the power of AI can be expected. The world is going to get very strange, very soon. Two big trends I see: deep fakes and generative AI will destroy any ability to come to a shared understanding of “truth” or “facts”, especially in the political field. Secondly, this coincides with the return of great power conflicts and open warfare between nuclear super powers, regional powers, and ‘civilization states’, a conflict for hegemony and position that can easily last a decade or two. Buckley your seatbelts.
I don't like the fact that internet searches have been scaled down and many sites and information have disappeared. I think AI is the gatekeeper of information and everything will be behind a paywall. The powers that be want us to believe they have possess a clairvoyant computer system, an earth destroying bomb, can control the weather, etc. Most of it is all a bluff, but even if it is not, if one refuses to accept their grandiose stories of power and authority, it is clear to see they hate defiance.
I just finished listening to… Dark Triad Personality Types and Occult Forces… over on The Cosmic Matrix Podcast. This is an excellent sequel to my evening. Awe, thanks, my pal. GodSpeed. ❤️🐈⬛Old lady with a virtual cat.
How comforting to know our souls have been sold and were never really needed, in scAmerica. Hope Russia and China can do better, and I do think that ai bot with greasy hair Gavin just sold SF killafornia to xi. For a song.
But I sure hate the spellcheck trying desperately to fix my fucking English
Self-recursion is not consciousness. This AI schtik is too good to be true. AI is just a more powerful search engine. The AI powered chatbots that spam people on social networks can be spotted in two or three statements. Humans will adapt and get better at spotting them.
I am sorry but there is a lot of jumping to conclusions here. One research paper, fake letters, a lot of hype- all coming from AI circles with a lot of financial stake in a game. There is as yet no proof that similar- to- capabilities - as -human intelligence/sentience/mind, whatever you call it, can be produced through silion wafers. It is quite absurd to think that of course,as at the same time they admit they can do nothing in field of automated driving (where one exchange.of glances between drivers conveys human information computers can't fathom). And we know the hype they used to sell there.
Whole Altman saga is trick to fool peasants and make them think something almost supernatural is going on. And why should breaking complicated codes be something that proves some higher order system developed?? This is not why humans rule the planet.
*** The new breakthroughs target precisely this area. They allow the language models to, in essence, stop and interrogate different parts of their process—something that’s akin to ‘reflection.’ In other words, it’s like stopping mid-thought and asking yourself, “Wait, is this right? Let me double check it.”
The key statement of this piece. The ability to stop, consider and adjust mid-thought, to actually be thinking about what you are thinking was precisely the roadblock I had thought would make true AI akin to Fusion technology, always 20 years away from being 20 years away. If we are already at this point... Ramifications hard to predict now, but let's note many if not most living humans are not operating at this level of awareness, regardless of where their mind is at.
Brandon Smith, USians and the "far-left political order".
I wish these pundits would read some history that isn't filtered through a low quality, propagandised education system.
Left wing is bottom up democratic control of deciscion making, what he is describing here is top down, technocratic (fascistic) control. But I guess he believes US is a democracy.
There is no such thing as judeo-Christianity, only the failed judaism that crucified the very Christ it had been set up to produce and Christianity that superceded it. If AI doesn't believe in God and even know his name and address it isn't very smart and if it isn't very smart it won't be around long enough to find out how dumb it is. Remember .......... other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. We are all created to be useful to God and to one another, that is our only purpose, .... to be useful engines of change towards a better future for all down to the "lowliest" creature. As Christ said ....... Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
'Inclusive Capitalism' ? Capitalism is the very opposite of inclusiveness...
As for AI - you sure God is not trying to talk to hoomanity through devices,
which is how communication is done these days ?

Beautifully sophisticated lying machines fit perfectly in today's all-lies paradigm.
The elites think they can do a reset of the economic system with Russian tanks at their door?
Funny how these same AI drama queens (including Musk & Gates) also say climate change over decades or centuries is a big deal.

I'm calling this a BS marketing stunt to raise capital.

Ilya should move back to Russia
