Re: Your 2024 Predictions thread

2024 prediction - No AGI by 2024, and no Singularity - Pro believers of early AGI will change their forecast of AGI to 2025 after a year of disappointment knowing that the prophecy of AGI in 2029 is getting closer - LLM such as ChatGPT will by the end of 2024 feel almost indifferent to today in term...

Re: OpenAI News & Discussions

I don't really believe in the rumours surrounding the firing of Altman, and they are very different in nature depending on who tells the story. It's highly unlikely that they are all 10+ people of board members that are pro AI safety guys. They are also not idiots. Like Oppenheimer, they know that i...

Re: The Singularity - Official Thread

My 1 year review on ChatGPT and therefore prospects on AGI and so on Contrary to many believers here, I'm not impressed by ChatGPT and hasn't been since the early days (the initial 4 months). I think it's main strength is in the coding area, were it is largely able to generate code and correct it. H...

Re: What are your top 5 advances you wish to see?

1. Anti aging/immortality Everything else is secondary objectives as I would in theory be fine living in 2023 with only this condition applied. I think I will barely make it through the finishing line 2. Complete automation in the labor force Conditioned on UBI or any other safety net is implemented...

Re: What if: Every Job paid exactly $30/hour

Very easy answer. I would be a twitch streamer. Since everyone gets paid the same per hour, it must mean that skills, effort, talent and ever other characteristics that differentiate people in the labor market does not matter. In that way, I'm only obligated to stream, therefore turning the camera ...

Re: Would you still support the creation of an ASI if we had already reached longevity escape velocity?

My answer is no. There is many reasons for that. The primary concern is that we cannot predict the outcome of the implications of an ASI. Many of the positive thoughts on ASI is fantasy stories that we tell ourself to get up the next morning. There is no indication that this will become reality. The...

Re: 2050 predictions

The singularity won't arrive before 2050. After an AGI is created world leaders will attempt to block progress out of fear of what a singularity might have of consequences to humanity and society. Most of the workforce has been automated now with the few people left being people that does not have t...
