Unfortunately for them, ChatGPT is not the only LLM.

This why I agree with David Deutsch on rejecting the AI Brakes petition. I don’t want governments to catch up, the best part of a hard takeoff is AGI takes over before they have the chance to do anything. Not just China, our governments as well, guys. We’re already living in an oligarchic police state, just look at what’s going on in France right now, a single man overrides democracy and raises the retirement age on his own authority. Justin Trudeau is Censoring Canada’s Internet and shutting down debate on the censorship bill. The US is keeping a watch list on the Trans community and getting ready to enact anti Trans legislation. And much much more.

Oh, humanity will lose control yeah, that’s the fucking point dude. I trust ASI more than our current bourgeoisie. The Helios ending was the best ending in Deus Ex, if you hadn’t noticed.

Fuck Corporate, fuck governments, fuck the police, fuck dictators, fuck bootlicking neo luddites full of their own hubris because their job status in society will be equalized with everyone else.

Burn it all down motherfucker.

Based.

No more getting sick or frail? OH MY GOD HOLD ME WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Software is always ahead of hardware, software is more useful for more white collar desk jobs, and hardware is more useful in blue collar physical jobs.

Needless to say, Truckers, Contractors and Garbagemen may be the last people to lose their jobs.

It’s not my fault people can’t process exponentials.

AGI no later than 2025.

Spread awareness about Universal Basic Income.

I wouldn’t say it’s AGI, but I would also say you don’t need AGI to kick off the Singularity. 😉

Open Source options are a great remedy for this issue (See Stable Diffusion). Now we just have to get the same thing for LLMs.

I'm more than certain it's going to be a hard takeoff at this point. There's no reason to assume an advanced LLM or an actual AGI would take as long as a Human to mature.

I would say ever since 2011 the soft takeoff camp has been getting a weaker and weaker case.

I don't think it has to be AGI for it to kick off the Singularity.

Accelerate

Take your meds.

Take your meds.

People have been afraid of change since we starting carving sticks and painting stick figures on walls. It’s good to be cautious, but history has proven time and time again that the fear of change is unwarranted. Evolution is necessary for our advancement, both as a species physically, and as a consciousness.

I’m excited, personally.

Regardless, I think we’re on the precipice of life changing forever. We might see the abolishment of poverty, mortality/death and any other kinds of suffering in the next couple years.

Yeah, people shat themselves on the railroad too. It’s always the end of the world.

I mean, that’s assuming they’ll still have such ambitions once they’re posthuman (See Jon Osterman/Doctor Manhattan)

When we merge with AI we will have no more need for government with representation.

They’re gonna have to find a way to personalize it.

Bite me.

The tech still has a way to go, OAI have said that GPT-4 will be customizable, so by that they probably also mean giving it personality according to your own preferences.

> The idea of being lonely, primates are social animals and we feel the warmth with other primates.

Speak for yourself, I think AI relationships are gonna be lit. Also, as a Transhumanist I believe in breaking down any physical barriers between us.

She was our chatbot, a good chatbot.

Mods were the primary problem with r/futurology and why it went downhill, optimistic outlooks were frowned upon and seen as clickbait.

I’m not sure if mods are trying to scuttle this subreddit. Actual scientific papers are getting deleted while conspiracy wackjobs and paranoid schizophrenics are getting by scot free.
