We got a glimpse of that in the documentary Social Dilemma. I expect it is going to get substantially worse. With the power of AI, data mining behavior for attention is going to surpass anything we have likely seen before.

I don't know how we will manage it, but it is about to get exponentially worse. With the introduction of AI, kids are going to bond to a fake reality. The manipulative effect is going to be orders of magnitude greater than social media

We might even look at all social media by all participants the same way we now look at smoking. It is isn't healthy for the adults either.

30 years is really far beyond any kind of reasonable window of any potential prediction. The exponential acceleration of technology will make the world 30 years from now likely incomprehensible. With the rapid changes we are seeing, 3 years

The best we could possibly achieve in regards to "fairness" is a representation of ourselves which of course isn't necessarily fair. "We are faced with an unresolvable paradox. As there exists no unbiased observers to mo

Up next, youtube will simply replace creators themselves. No need to pay content creators when we can auto generate all of it.

Currently with the hallucination problems, AI is not good at the things people want, which is trusted information. However, it is good at the things people don't want, easy to use to make fake scams, deceitful info etc. Somewhat a dece

Unlimited power makes everyone irresponsible actors. Nvidia already stated they expect a million fold processing power in 10 years for AI.

Nuclear risk is a contained problem. Access is extremely limited and controlled by low tech hardware locks. The technology is understood, we know what makes bombs explode and it is predictable by physics. AI is the opposite of all these cha

If have seen it stated that containment is the insurance for alignment since there is no way to guarantee alignment will either remain in the form we set or will deviate from the path we perceive. Which is part of the same argument, in that

I have attempted to ask many alignment proponents a question on the basic assumption of the feasibility of alignment, but so far have not had any respond directly to what I perceive as a paradox. That being we must accept that a low IQ enti

At least until the robots come. However, if everyone is a plumber, then nobody needs a plumber as they can do it themselves.

Recently Neil deGrasse Tyson mentioned plumbing as the career that comes to mind that will not be immediately taken over by AI. At least we will have 2 choices now. Plumbing and OnlyFans.

This article calls out the importance that at present AI must only be used in the context of a tool. It simply is not appropriate in the role of decision maker.

I have now updated the article and removed the Spotify embed with a normal link. Thank you.

That discussion yielded interesting debate and I would conclude the results as being inconclusive at present. Also yielded other projects doing similar work. https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.10121

Ahh yes, had not thought of that. So when I added the link, substack embedded the player. I think I can remove it and replace with a normal link.

It is hosted on substack. I've never heard of it requesting any plugins. That is odd.

Yes, extremely concerning. Recently new advancements in AI have shown it is possible to read your mind. Reconstruct images of your mind from what you have seen. We are headed into a deep tech dystopia. Even more disturbing are the number of
