Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) News and Discussions

[Vakanai]

Put it inside of the most advance robot and lets see what it can do.

Hm, depends on what you expect/want from the current most advanced robots - do you want one that can walk, which would be Boston Dynamics which can (sort of) parkour, or be the most expressive and able to communicate like Ameca? So far we don't really have a robot that does it all - but perhaps we'll have that by the end of the year?

Let's assume AGI/Proto-AG is feasible in this or the next years, now what?

[Ozzie guy]

I think this AI breakthrough is gigantic assuming the source is trustworthy as it wasn't a big organization that made it.

starspawn0 "The AI model talks to itself, does web search, and then goes on and on generating more things for itself to do. It's like the beginnings of an AGI. Now imagine doing this with GPT4, GPT4.5, or GPT5 (this version uses GPT3)...."

What is the biggest project like GPT outside of the united states? Say China or India?

And they want GPT's development to slow down so they can catch up, not because they're concerned with AI safety.

Google CEO Promises Bard AI Upgrade Within a Week
Sundar Pichai says Bard will migrate from LaMDA to PaLM, adding new capabilities and making the chatbot more reliable.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai is doing damage control. After a disastrous debut, Google's Bard AI is available to testers. However, the company's chatbot has been roundly criticized for its inability to keep up with OpenAI's ChatGPT and the ChatGPT-infused Microsoft Bing. Pichai appeared on the most recent New York Times Hark Fork podcast, promising upgrades to Bard in the next week.

When Google rushed Bard out the door earlier this year, it was running a lightweight version of Google's LaMDA language model. LaMDA is good at generating dialog, but it's not as capable as ChatGPT and not designed for math or coding. Pichai says that Google is working to move Bard to its newer and more powerful PaLM models, and that could happen in as little as a week. On the podcast, Pichai compared the LaMDA-based Bard to a "souped-up Civic… in a race with more powerful cars."

We are not ready. We are not on track to be significantly readier in the foreseeable future. If we go ahead on this everyone will die, including children who did not choose this and did not do anything wrong.

Shut it down.

My reaction to
-Ending wage slavery
-Curing cancer
-Genetic enhancement that cures literally every disease and problem with the human body
-Ending death
-And then the science and advancements in exciting news.

Well, I am anything besides worried. I am fucking excited and can't fucking wait.

In November I made a semiserious post with some sources but lacking research arguing there was a small chance of Proto AGI in 2022 December - 2023 February. The post was locked for not being in this thread and presumably for seeming like nonsense not worthy of its own thread but it turned out essentially correct with proto AGI coming out in March.
https://www.futuretimeline.net/forum/vi ... f=3&t=2666

So I would like to make another out there prediction that will likely turn out to be wrong but who knows.

GPT-5 will be released in late 2024-early 2025 (probably 2025) and be actual AGI. I put the off the top of my head odds of this being the case at about 5-20% but that is still significant given what we are talking about.

My scrambled logic boils down to

• Claim that GPT-5 will finish training this December
  
  
  

• GPT-4 took 7-8 months after being trained to be released it will take longer with GPT-5 due to it being a more complex and dangerous model (edit actually if it is AGI it might not be released more so the public is made aware of it.)

• What is really a stab in the dark is GPT-5 actually qualifying as AGI (I don't think it will but again this is just throwing shit at the wall like last time). It seems like people are making GPT-4 act autonomously with evidence it can act autonomously towards a longer-term goal. (I haven't really looked into this yet others here may know more). PaLME had the capacity to do transfer learning so that could be trained into GPT-5 (not sure if they can) or end up being an emergent property. Speaking of emergent properties, we have seen a trend of AI being able to do more than expected without people trying to give it those skills maybe GPT-5 will be able to make the leap to proper AGI in some kind of natural way.

Is Siqi Chen a trustworthy source? AGI coinciding with a POTUS election seems like a volatile recipe.

On the other hand, perhaps it'll make next year rather moot since I highly doubt any of the tech illiterate politicians will focus that much on it. At best, there'd just be some snide remarks about preparing their speeches or stating remarks they claim came from GPT.

I understand that we really are closer than we've ever been, but it feels odd that it would be this soon. Like legit future shock.

[Ozzie guy]

Is Siqi Chen a trustworthy source?

Gwern is very trusted and said that the tweeter in question is well connected. He implied that Siqi had also tweeted some correct info on GPT-4 with the tweets now being deleted.

Gwern also talked about how based off when OpenAI was rumored to start training GPT-5 the December time frame does make sense.
It looks like I could have just posted about these comments and added hey imagine if it is AGI but in truth I hadn't read most of this discussion before posting I had just skimmed a comment saying GPT-4 wasn't released until 7-8 months after training.

The discussion took place here although the subreddit is private so maybe you can't see it. They let people join. I removed http from the start of the link due to complications with this post from the subreddit being private.

Showed up on my feed. Very interesting times we live in. Before 2022 I didn't expect AI to advance nearly this fast, two years ago I probably would've said that something like ChatGPT would've been invented around 2030-35.

I feel that it is always rich/successful guys with a lot to lose who are afraid of AI. The rest of us peons have nowhere to go but up

X-Tesla AI-Lead shows how to makeGeneratively Pretrained Transformer (GPT). He followed the paper “Attention is All You Need” and OpenAI’s GPT-2 / GPT-3. He talk about connections to ChatGPT, which has taken the world by storm. We also watch GitHub Copilot, itself a GPT, help us write a GPT.
