    "Humanity May Reach Singularity Within Just 7 Years"

    Can't help thinking there's an incredible amount of hype and exaggeration going on here. It's one thing to translate text or generate content based on mashing together existing information, another entirely for an AI to have general intelligence.

    • Anyway, #remindme in 7 yearsyuekit
    • Think of how much progress we've made in the last 2 years. Multiply this by 3 with compounding effect.drgs
    • I'm cool with retiring in 7 years, let's make it happen.yuekit

    • For now AI is just a carrier of knowledge, like a plant which sucks in nutrients, but it does not produce anything newdrgs
    • They said this for Dot.Com, VR, AR, Metaverse, etc. All one-trick-ponies...f... now.formed
    • Yeah that's kind of what I was trying to say drgs. If generative AI leads to singularity it will just be computers remixing their own content forever.yuekit
    • Pure hype... Trained models using contemporary copyrighted imagery as well as text scrapped from the internet.jonny_quest_lives
    • The original concept of "Singularity" back in the 80s said the latest possible date it could happen would be 2030, so I guess 7 years works.yuekit
    • Ray Kurzweil was smarter, he set a date far enough into the future that he can keep hyping the Singularity for another 20 years.yuekit
    • Anthropomorphism at best... it's just software trained using contemporary datasets.jonny_quest_lives
    • If the software is outputting amazing results... look at the training data. https://arxiv.org/ab…jonny_quest_lives
    • I heard the new iphone will be self aware.dbloc
    • There is a theory that logical reasoning is an extension of spatial reasoning, which is conditioned by ability to sense and experience the physical worlddrgs
    • with your hands, logic is just dexterity with abstract objects. Maybe logic cannot be taught and we will not have general intelligence until AI has handsdrgs

    • I am with Noam Chomsky on this there will be refinements and some benefits from some of these toolsjonny_quest_lives
    • but we are a long ways from unraveling human consciousness... it will be emulation at best until the algorithm encounters an unexpected behaviorjonny_quest_lives
    • Cooking rice like pasta reduces arsenic as it releases into the cooking water and drains off after cooking because arsenic is water soluble.BonSeff
    • If you cook rice the traditional way with approximately a 2:1 ratio of water to rice, the arsenic stays in the rice.BonSeff
    • fuck me, sorry - wrong thread, hence signs you are getting oldBonSeff
