Reply to comment by ChronoPsyche in Prediction: De-facto Pure AGI is going to be arriving next year. Pessimistically in 3 years. by Ace_Snowlight

Well, I think you can have mouse level AGI and cat level AGI and dog level AGI and chimp level AGI.

All these will take some human jobs but none of them is going to take over the world.

Let's assume I'm Bill Gates, I decide to go beserk on AI just like Zukerberg did for VR (pathetically).

I can get my hands the worlds most powerful of computers which many developers creating technology don't even have their hands on, I provide it to them and tell them to utilize it to it's maximum capacity freely and let's assume somehow it gained access to the internet (whether by the fault of humans or not, doesn't matter).

If this happens... You cannot even imagine the power... The next instructions people would give to it would be ground-breaking gold that can be used to make jewelry like never before. Or on the contrary like discovering a new element, that can be used to make weapons that might as well mess-up the fabric of reality.

Maybe we won't even need to, maybe it will just end up discovering and even implementing it, both, on it's own without asking us prior permission.

Things don't need to be conscious to be powerful, heck we barely know ourselves our consciousness might as well be an illusion for all we know!

[That's just my opinion on a hypothetical, I think such thing happening would be a huge gamble as it would be quite reckless if not carefully regulated.]

I think AGI is not just a matter of size of Flops per seconds. Something else is needed.

Sure, however even if you are correct. It honestly means next to nothing, period. Based on how things are going on so far.
