I don't know... To me this definitely fits the definition of "general intelligence".

Its doing a lot of stuff that it wasn't taught to do.

This really does seem like the real deal.

It's done by 14 PhDs, I feel like that aren't there to just pump the stock price up.

Especially since Microsoft is separate from OpenAI (they have a profit share up to a certain point, but Microsoft doesn't retain shares after a certain point)

It's all pixels. If you take a picture of a celebrity and open it in photoshop, photoshop will give you a bunch of pixels that make up that image.

Given enough time, an artist could place each individual pixel on a blank canvas, recreating what is 'exactly that picture,' not 'sorta like it,' but pixel for pixel the exact same thing.

Now add to that, that a video is just picture after picture, all an artist needs is time to create each frame. Change the artist to an a.i. and now you need less time.

Other tools like green screen and motion capture just make it all easier and faster.

Deepfakes, when sufficiently advanced, should be indistinguishable from reality. I personally believe the technology is already (and has been) there, behind certain closed doors and question things like 'was juice wrld ever even a real person or are music corporations using a.i. to build narratives to sell music with a story' and if not yet, will they soon?

There are limits to prediction that are rooted in the limits of what information can practically be gathered. So some seemingly mundane things like predicting the weather 60 days into the future may always be impossible no matter how powerful AI becomes.

However, predicting beyond the capacity of any human that ever lived or ever will live is something we can expect -- perhaps soon.

I have no mouth, and I must scream by Harlan Ellison painted a Cold War era picture of an ai used to manage superpower’s militaries gaining sentience and then committing mass genocide. Keeping the five remaining humans alive as playthings.

There is no fuel on board, but it really isn’t reaction-less, just highly efficient use of the fuel burned in the sun and collected by the satellite in the form of solar radiation that then powers this device. But there is nothing on how it is supposed to work. Maybe a more efficient version of the spiral drive?

As a person who regularly follows phone news I agree with u/Evcher , traditional slab smartphones have hit a plateau and will probably not progress further outside of processor, camera and battery improvements on a more marginal basis.

Foldable phones do seem like they are improving and a lot of manufacturers are starting to make them. This will most likely bring down the price as we have started to see with brands like Techno releasing a cheaper galaxy fold style phone. We may see companies release trifolds once foldables get thinner.

Outside of that unless technology improves massively I don't think we will ever see wearable ar glasses, Google glass just failed again. Nor do we have anywhere near the technology or the political will to start putting chips in people's brains. Overall I expect to see more marginal updates year over year that add up in the long run.

UBI will never happen on a global, or national level. Most likely not even on a state level. It’s a nice dream to think everyone will be able to get paid to sit around and do nothing but it will not happen.
