After using Stable Diffusion on a good GPU I know the Singularity is coming sooner than people expect.

Some may think it's just a simple image generator, but to me it represents the best visual representation of the infinite variations of a digital mind that we have so far.

Artificial minds will be among us before "AGI" is publicly announced.

Exactly... youtubers, actors, models, musicians, etc will be easily extrapolated, digitized, and modifiable. You could just direct an algorithm to analyze someone like Lex Fridman and have him interview countless clones of himself. The world is not ready or aware of this at all

Copyright laws want to have a word with you…..there definitely would be federal laws stopping that so misinformation and people identities don’t be changed…..some states like California and Texas ban deepfake laws and that’s just silly facial swap if digital easy replicable videos ever happen which I doubt they will there will be heavy restrictions

XD if you think the laws can keep up with the tech ive got some disturbing news for you XD

also take a look at global finance for a teaser

Federal laws can’t but corporate apps can keep up with that

unless they get AI to start coding up the laws on the blockchain

and then ofc at that point we've already literally proven that human ran/led institutions cannot keep up with the pace of technological advancement/disruption

Why does it matter if we proven something or not either way either if this tech ever comes true and people have easy access to it then counter tech will definitely be available to stop majority of disruption….you can already deepfake and face swap easily yet nobody does this

I'd argue the lead up to the Singularity with Transformative AI will be more comprehensibly exciting anyway.

The technological singularity won't happen at any particular time or exact point in time. Using the Kurzweilian definition of the tech singularity, it's about an immense rate of technological change. There's no magic number.

I agree with that definition. There's always the possibility, we don't know what's on the other side of the singularity, that it could propel us instantaneously into weird tech but I don't really bother debating that kind of stuff. What's happening now is plenty exciting for my brain.

Yes but it’s to you….. stable diffusion doesn’t have much to do with hypothetical AGI except it means AGI now has advanced neural connectivity
