People keep imagining AGI like its going to be benevolent skynet, when it's probably going to be more like the Tyrell corporation from Blade Runner

I hope we get flying cars from blade runner too

If someone actually managed to create AGI that is low compute, scalable and out of government control, then governments wouldnt exist for very long. Its just that AGI is not gonna happen for a long while.

Tbh would happen with high compute agi as it could then create low compute tendrils.

How would this be any different from more people existing in the world? These AGIs still need to eat (err, consume electricity). Or are you assuming they'll be superior intelligences and thus disruptive?

Have you ever observed 100 people in a room trying to decide on one thing? The idea with AGI is that it doesnt have that problem and also that you can scale it to billions or trillions of independent or cooperative units.

The only way to create AGI is by accident. I can’t stress how much we haven’t the first clue how consciousness works (appropriately called The Hard Problem). I don’t mean we’re far, I mean we don’t even have a working theory — just half a dozen untestable (if fascinating) hypotheses. Hell, we can’t even agree on whether insects have emotions (probably not?) let alone explain subjective experience.

Consciousness is entirely overrated, it doesn't mean anything important at all. An ai just needs logic, reasoning and a goal to effectively change things. Solving consciousness will do nothing of practical value, it will be entirely philosophical.

[–] yeahiknow3@lemmings.world 2 points 45 minutes ago* (last edited 44 minutes ago)

Reasoning literally requires consciousness because it’s a fundamentally normative process. What computers do isn’t reasoning. It’s following instructions.

i think we are safe till atleast early 2030's

[–] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

Will life be enjoyable until then or are a majority of us unemployed early on.

The book Scythe had a good portrayal of a scentient ai and its reasons for taking over the government. It's just backstory so i don't think it's spoilers, still gunna tag it.

spoilerThe Thunderhead ai was created to help humans and make them content. It realized pretty quickly governments ran counter to that idea. So it got rid of all of them. Now it's a utopia. Actual utopia or as close as you can get most are content and live their lives enjoying them. The massive problems with the system are due to humans not the Thunderhead.
