Um, why would you need to raise children, much less have children to raise? Humans are outdated and nothing more than dead weight. The only humans that will exist are those that stay out of the way.

Yeah, 'AI doesn't meet the semantics of having actual meat hands' isn't the argument you're thinking it is, mate.
ESPECIALLY when that argument really ends with 'yet'.

Reply to comment by mikevago in I asked GPT-4 to compile a timeline on when which human tasks (not jobs) have been/will be replaced by AI or robots, plus one sentence reasoning each - it runs from 1959 to 2033. In a second post it lists which tasks it assumes will NOT be replaced by 2050, and why. (Remember it's cut-off 2021.) by marcandreewolf
Yep. One thought I had was that this is actually what the list is all about, plus some timeline of course.

This actually makes a lot of sense — it's all tasks that rely on precision and organization, and largely not ones that depend on creativity or judgement calls.

Just catch that X phantastillion $ asteroid, build some Y million square ha PV in outer space and beam the electricity down as microwave and here you go 😁

Thanks for the nice day
Sadly I do believe corporations will be the first to send astronauts deeper into space then any government agency has so far
If ya remember Altho you won’t remind me in 15 ish years when we send someone to the asteroid belt
Altho I will say that space x will be sending people far out on government money

Sorry definitely gonna make multiple comments his father I believe owned an emerald mine which employed slavery and he is known to have benifits from that
Agree with everything up to that part so far

You'd need straight up rationing and martial law.
Probably wouldn't change my life significantly, tbh.

I think it's in reference to security. Facial recognition software and ability to access one's pulse temperature breathing pattern their body language these things are starting to be developed for people who have seizures to know that they'll be happening before they start so the person can lay down. Think of like an artificial dog for seizer patients. If you take that technology and perfect it you could put it into any camera system with the right sensors and it might be able to tell you if someone's about to shoot up a place or is thinking about robbing it for harming somebody. The data can be used to preemptively signal an artificial police officer. If one is actually on the scene at the time given its artificial, all the information can be calculated almost instantaneously and imagine someone pulling out a gun and their shot with pinpoint precision before they even get the gun out of it's holster all the way. Now imagine if this system was engaging every single person in the room with that exact precision of understanding and ability to read a scene. It would make a lot less mistakes than a human. Not saying I condone it but I could see that as a possible future scenario

Reply to AI displacing jobs is a red herring, how we self-organize is the more fundamental trend by mjrossman
Good post

impact of any given tinkering in any given garage, literally or

This is the most important part, methinks. Given how fast the tech is exploding, it's vital that we bring down the costs of essentials first. Food, drink & basic consumables. This will soften the blow of any and every commotion that happens as a result of high unemployment. We need the robots asap. The displacement of white collar workers will leak into blue collar jobs. People will chase manual jobs if their survival gets on the line. The robots may be too primitive to steal your trade job, but the junior dev that just lost his is not.

Haha, interesting. Next, ask it where we're going to get all the energy (hydrocarbon molecules), electricity, and rare-earth metals to continuously make, repair, and replace all these AI robots.

Reply to comment by Shiningc in The difference between AI and AGI by Shiningc
We are going in circles a bit, but your point, of course, is that current AI models cant do symbolic manipulation, which is very evident when they do complex maths.
The real question is however if you can implement a classic algorithm in a probabilistic neural network and the answer, of course, is yes.
Especially Recurrent Neural Networks, which are, in theory, Turing Complete, can emulate any classic computer algorithm, including 1+1.

Rebranded as interventions, yes of course it will. It is inevitable, especially if you could monitor social media in real time to see who is signaling an imminent crisis.

I say so far because I'm not blessed with the ability to see into the future, and I don't like eating my words.
Yeah, you are correct. Leadership is important. Musk has been important to SpaceX since the early days. That dynamic has likely changed since the regularity of Falcon 9 launches (like 3 launches in 3 days or something, it's fucking insane)
Musk is an idiot for getting involved in twitter. The only way to fix twitter is with diesel and matches (along with most other social platforms)
No comment on the slave owner thing because that's new to me.
We're still quite a while away from SpaceX sending private astronauts for space colonisation. It will mostly be scientists from nasa and other space orgs
I don't know you and therefore cannot and will not make any comments on whether you're stupid or not
Bonus: Have a nice day :)

A child raised on breast milk from a machine would probably end up mentally ill. Also would you want a robot whipping your ass when you're late by exactly 3 seconds? Humans need the imperfections of their parents to learn their own.

Biologically yes…I would imagine a machine could do much of the parenting role more consistently and effectively than many humans though. Just like really wealthy people pay professionals to help raise their kids, I can imagine a robo nanny doing some of the heavy lifting teaching and raising kids some day.

The fact you say so far is all that really needs to be said
No matter how qualified of workers you have or even leaders
If the guy at top can randomly fuck everything up at any moment
Aslong as Twitter keeps musky occupied I do believe space x will do amazing things
But the fact we have a slave owner raised man child leading the future of space exploration is a tad bit scary
Maybe I’m just stupid tho

You describe exactly the jobs an AI would be superior at. Logic and analysis are things humans are not the best at, we have flawed memories, incomplete info, and emotions cause us to behave irrationally. I would much rather go to an AI doctor that has the entire world’s knowledge at its disposal, it would be the most knowledgeable and rational doctor one could imagine.
As far as fiction, the rudimentary ChatGPT is already capable of creating fiction on demand today and that level is going to look like tinker toys compared to what will be available in a few years.

Hasn't done anything wrong with the company so far. Anyway, Gwynne Shotwell is in charge of Starship now and she's as qualified as you can get in SpaceX.
