Makes me wonder what it'd look like if it was as big as gpt-3

Yes. The technology isn't going to get worse, it's only going to improve from here on. It's the "you won't always have a calculator in your pocket" debate all over again, which surprisingly you do have in your pocket all the time. I'm not at all saying calculators made math education useless, not at all. It's still as important as ever, it's just that we have to adapt. Crunching big numbers in your head isn't that important anymore, you just have to know how it's done and how to use the available tools to get what you want.

Education will need to adapt again.

Just started the new year watching SAO Progressive, it better come this year :)

nice flair

Why the parts controlling dreams? Genuinely asking, I've never considered that to be of importance. Sending image data to the occipital lobe as well as other sensory data to the respective parts would enable a much more realistic experience than a dream, and similarly reading motor actions for movement no?

Artistic values are what I choose them to be. They're subjective. If I enjoy a piece of music, it has some value for me.

Monetary values are what will be lost. If companies can get what they need for basically free, they won't employ artists.

Artists can choose to continue doing art, not for the money but because it has some value for themselves.

> This does not point to monetary value, simply artistic value.

This guy's got it completely wrong...

It's not even just about the 20th century or about humans, it's the entire history of the universe.

13.8 billion years ago - the big bang

4.5 billion years ago - earth was formed

3.5 billion years ago - cellular life emerges

2.1 billion years ago - multicellular life emerges

500 million years ago - cambrian explosion

178 million years ago - first mammals appear

55 million years ago - first primates appear

1.5 million years ago - homo habilis

200 thousand years ago - homo sapiens

70 thousand years ago - cognitive revolution

12 thousand years ago - neolithic revolution

500 years ago - scientific revolution

200 years ago - first industrial revolution

100 years ago - second industrial revolution

50 years ago - third indusrial revolution

Next up - fourth industrial revolution (AI revolution)

They don't really care about how it really works though, I've seen many people get it explained to them but they still willfully ignore it. Those "misconceptions" are a very convenient way for them to get more press coverage, in an attempt to hinder its progress.

You're clearly in the wrong assumption that I'm defending a non deterministic universe when I'm not. I've only pointed you out not to write in absolutes which you clearly did, and now you're trying to educate me on being open minded and that this field is not set in stone yet? I believe you'll have to work on yourself first.

I appreciate you trying to provide a source on this topic, but a non peer reviewed study with a total of 4 views which has a typo in the second sentence of its abstract doesn't prove anything. If it's deterministic or not changes depending on the interpretation of quantum mechanics you're working with, none of which have been reasonably backed by evidence to suggest it being the correct interpretation or not yet.

I advise you to do some research on quantum mechanics before commenting about this topic again.

wouldn't be surprised if it happens by the end of next year

I saw Flan-T5 about 30 minutes ago and was amazed it could beat PaLM with far less parameters. Half an hour later we get a new PaLM :P

That is not what you were suggesting in your post at all.. you were asking why people don't try to stop AI development, not regulate.

Anyways, let's suppose that's what you were suggesting. Of course there's nothing wrong with being extra cautious, but regulations on international scales for this are just inherently impossible. Not because of greed or capitalism, AI just has such huge potential, any country slowing down their own progress would assure their economic disadvantage in the future, maybe even their destruction.

You'd probably get some EU countries to agree on such regulations, but that'd just make things worse for those countries later on.

Yes, you are.

You're suggesting we halt all progress because some people could use it irresponsibly. Sure then, let's ban knifes as they can be used as weapons by irresponsible people.

You're blaming the wrong people. Scientist are doing their jobs as best as they can to solve lifes problems. If by result society is faced with crisies, it's because politicians and people couldn't adapt to it.

indeed, you'll only be limited by your imagination is what I think. Althought this surely can be improved beyond what we know nowadays by enhancing our neocortex.

It's called telepathy, and while you can think about sentences and thus language, we're also capable of thoughts that can't be described by language. You could call this a form of "language" as well, sure, but it's nothing like natural languages is what I'm talking about.

The post earier today of a paper reconstructing language from brain recordings made me really think we won't even need language eventually.

One of the examples they showed was of a person watching an animated short story without any language being used. Still, the AI had a fairly well understanding of what was going on only from the persons fMRI recordings.

Basically, you'll just think of what you want and the AI will know what you mean, and it's gonna be much more powerful than language. If language has enabled our species to advance this far, I can't even begin to imagine how the future is gonna look like when we finally lift all limitations of languages.
