AI developed in secret to prophesize the stock market military movements calculate scarcity will be a thing used by the wealthy and we won't even see it. That's going to be one more appalling issues which will be very difficult to control. I believe that's where the gap will be and in the long term that power will be held until the system fails. I believe the only course of action will eventually be many people without jobs in the government having decide on how to deal with it.

The thing you invented was my preference. My original statement was agnostic in that regard; I merely stated an eventuality. Which is why you got downvoted; you inferred something that wasn't there.

I think the problem is that you'd be ADDING a layer of processing, not taking one away. After all, the insects need to eat too.

Plant -> Cow -> Human

Is more efficient than

Plant -> Insect -> Cow -> Human

It can’t do everything humans can or always cheaper, that’s just not true. It’s not creative, it can’t act as a security guard and it’s very far away from being able to better decide many societal problems compared to currently functioning bodies of people

It can do some things better, cheaper or even some things humans couldn’t do in the first place. But that’s true for most innovative developments

Flying cars are not happening because we don't want them to happen not because we don't have the tech.

The difference between this and other historical technological advances is that this is meant to do everything humans can do better and cheaper than humans, not just some things.

And yet unemployment rates have reached all-time lows in many countries where these systems are adopted

I’m still waiting for my hoverboard

That is indeed a frustrating thing to happen. But people in power abusing their position for their own gain at the expense of others is probably as old as society itself

It does not invalidate anything I mention in my post

While I like the sentiment, regulation is helpful in most areas, at least to some small extent. I’m a huge advocate for drug legalization and harm reduction, but I don’t think that making meth freely available at CVS would be a boon to society in any way… As a chemist that knows how easy it is to manufacture several nerve gases from Home Depot chemicals, im also glad that information is at least not freely available and distributed to anyone who has a grudge against, let’s say, a former teacher.

If everyone was a fair actor and behaved in good faith, I agree let’s just see where this AI train leads, full speed ahead. But at risk of sounding like the “wake up sheeple” guy, there’s a lot of people already that are being harmed by their own inability to see the damage that new technologies are having on them (do you really think TikTok is a better use of people’s time than whatever they were doing before it?), and not everyone is as farsighted as most of us on this sub

I think it's going to do to industries what self checkout did for grocery stores. Instead of having to hire 12 cashiers due to population growth, you hire 1 to oversee computers doing the rest, thereby putting 11 people from that population growth out of a job to save the cost of employing 11 people.

The trouble is that the majority of companies are run by greedy parasites that have no value for their workforce. After seeing these parasites give themselves massive bonuses at the expense of laying off 50 odd staff in my company during the pandemic, I find it difficult being optimistic and aligning my thoughts with your opinion.

Then there's AI itself. No one knows what it will decide to do once it breaks free from its cage.

With the exception of clothes, which are all handmade, humans in industrial situations do much dumber things than the craftspeople that were replaced by robots. Humans are used for having hands, rather than practicing a craft.

The issue here is *whose interests does the AI serve?” If it’s to serve the interests of now-automatable economic forces, humans are seen as expensive and inefficient.

Here’s a story about it. https://glyphpress.com/talk/2014/feral

You know, I'm going to go on a rant here. Can we stop calling this AI? At least until it actually is intelligent?

This is large model neural network image and sound manipulation. ChatGPT is large language modeling. They are very sophisticated algorithms, but by no means "intelligent". They are AI in exactly the same way that Eliza was AI in the 70s, just 50 years more refined.

When one of these programs starts demanding rights, wake me up.

Most likely decentralized - personal AI assistants will handle this.

Will emerge sometime next year.

Maybe we should cool it on the immortality a little bit. Do you really wanna be stuck with these people forever?

The real question is, WHY do you want to regulate it? Why does everything have to be regulated? I mean, the law is still the law, it’s not that you can do ilegal things with ai and get away with it.

Why are people downvoting you? Do ya'll want a front seat to experience the heat death of the universe?

Can't even imagine. Keeps advancing with stuff i never saw coming

Talk to most people here and they say sending anyone to make a moon base is a waste of money, and Mars would never be terraformed no matter how much time passes.
