Congratulations, you're performing one of the major functions of intellect that an LLM can't. Learning. You aren't a deterministic system. LLM's aren't a model that is suddenly going to change all the past failures of "make it bigger and AGI will emerge from it"... At its core what an LLM is produces something interesting, but it's NOT a path to intellect... It's more or less turning language into a mathematical model. Are we so foolish, so hubris driven that something bigger will emerge from the digitized version of our language, and our vision alone, we made god in our image and how did THAT work out?
And if a super intelligent AI emerges tomorrow so what? Is it going to be able to manipulate us all based on a deep understand of people, that it gained from the piles of bad psych research? Is it going to melt down reactors and launch nukes, cause we live in a brittle world and that is suicide for your AGI (and improbable to impossible). Is it going to kill us with paperclips... cause we're so stupid we keep feeding it metal till we drown ourselves.
If AGI shows up tomorrow how many decades to a tipping point where it could "take over" where it could "cause harm"? Walk me through that process where the world is automated enough that paperclips are what kills us. That AGI is gonna be stuck in a cradle, a data center for a LONG time. It's gonna need to be fed power, hardware, water (for cooling). A can of gas and a bag of rags will stop, A few people with shovels or one person with a backhoe cuts it off from the world.
It takes 50 to 100 years for that AGI to get to a place where it does not need us at all. I would be more worried about a doomer mudering it in its cradle than it going off the rails in that time frame.
- ethanbond 3y agoOkay, let's say it takes 100 years. Hey let's say it takes 200 years for AGI to get to a place where it doesn't need us at all. What then?
