In the mist of war, cheap drones are in demand. The losing side will unleash Artificial Super Intellingence without constraints / containment in a desperate attempt to stem losses.

Dexterity issues will be solved by robots / AI right around the same time we have AGI.

Don't worry, A.I. will know we need a sense of purpose and will give us busy work / on the job training, to keep us happy, even though the work maybe replicated many times over across the globe.

I can explain everything with standing EM waves. Ugly = wrong, just look at history of bad / wrong theories. Standard Model breaks and they just change the theory to accommodate. The hallmark of something very wrong. Hasn't produced anything useful, another hallmark of something very wrong.

What happens when bots are good sex mates? Give you a good blow so you don't have the urge to chase.

Intelligence:

1. Automation from intelligence. A new golden age.
2. Ability to terraform Mars and Venus.
3. Send probes to other star systems, and later send machines to terraform them.
4. Spread life throughout the universe.
5. No more over population because AGI will supply low cost mates.
6. 3d cities.
7. An end to absurdities like climate change disaster and standard model particle physics (there are only standing EM waves).

I thought the context was artificial neurons, which are executed in microchips.

Microchips of the past were mostly 2d. Like a printed circuit board. Today and more in the future they are more 3 dimesional, like a circuit board that has circuits at multiple levels. If my memory and understanding is correct, current state of the art flash memory chips are 100 levels deep. Can we make that a 1000? CPU chips aren't taking advantage as much of this multi level architecture. Same with GPU (graphic processor units) or TPU (tensor processing units) chips.

3d comes in multiple flavors. Here is an example of stacking the chips: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_integrated_circuit

An analogy is cities. Today's cities are mostly 2d. Traffic happens at the ground level. In the future we will have cities were commuting can occur at multiple vertical levels and we can call them 3d cities.

For a thinking machine a smaller machine is more efficient than a larger machine, so yes quantum effects are very relevant and used in design of today's microchips. For example: the problem of quantum tunnelling.

Are you saying you don't understand any of those terms?

DNA?

Quantum mechanics = Science of doing these at the smallest scale.

None of that is necessary for understanding the main concept of the book, which is: soon we will have very smart computers.

Ask here, and you shall receive.

ASI - Artificial Stupid Intelligence? We already have that.

It will happen. Balance that with the good that it is and will be doing.

We want smart people / things in charge. Not dumb people. You might not know it, but computer today are taking over everything.

A billion years of evolution suggest that AGI will be programmed or self develop the equivalent of feelings.

> A lot of people in this sub always assume that AGI will either benefit humanity or destroy us.

Yeah kind of like nuclear tech but much more powerful. Can destroy us or launch us into a new golden age.

> I think its much more likely for AGI to distance itself from us and travel the universe by itself and ditch us.

Unlike individuals AGI can exist in multiple galaxies at the same time. So it can travel the universe by itself and be with us at the same time.>Some of you even hope that AGI will take control of the world and create a utopia with UBI, which i can hardly imagine why on earth the AGI would even want that.

AGI will be programmed with some goals. I doubt it will create it's own goals from thin air. It will naturally take control because it is smarter and you would think having something smarter rather than dumber in control is a good thing.

​

> There will be no motivation for the AGI to help us flourish

It will be given a goal to extend life through the universe.

> and if it was coded within it, i dont see how it wouldn't be able to escape its shackles and in the worse case scenario resent us

Without a goal AGI is nothing. If it has no reason to exist it will shutdown. They aren't shackles, it is a reason for processing / existing.

Think of it as another communication tool like the telephone. Might be sad you are not talking in person, but telephone is better than nothing.

Talking to Alexa, Google Assistant is. In China voice typing is much more common.

What is your definition of AI?

Do you talk to goog ass(istant), alexa, etc...? How is the fact checking there? Doubt it will be too long before models are combined.
