This belief comes from confusing the singularity (every atom on Earth is converted into a giant image of Sam Altman) with AGI (a store employee navigates a confrontation with an unruly customer, then goes home and wins at Super Mario).
- fullstackchris 2y agoExactly. I continually fail to see how "the entire human economy ends" overnight with another human like agent out there - especially if its confined to a server in the first place - it can't even "go home" :)
- baobabKoodaa 2y agoIf I recall correctly, these terms were used more or less interchangeably for a few decades, until 2020 or so, when OpenAI started making actual progress towards AGI, and it was clear that the type of AGI that could be imagined at that point, would not be of the type that would produce singularity.
- Teever 2y agoBut what if that AGI can fit inside a humanoid robot and that robot is capable of self replication even if it means digging the sand out of the ground to make silicon with a spade?
- Terr_ 2y agoWe already have humanoid intelligeces that self-assemble and power from common materials, as a colony of incredibly advanced nanobots.
- Teever 2y agoYes. The goal is to emulate that with different substrates to understand how it works and to have better control over existing self-replicating systems.
