Is AI dangerous? Is it mostly hype? Do you think about AI at all? Where do you fall on the spectrum?

Its another disruptive tool, while a lot of hype around it is overblown. Its always funny seeing the "What if the bad guys use it" trap that people fall into. Sam Altman for all intensive purposes is the bad guy.... see Worldcoin
LLM's arent a fad,
A hammer can be used for good or evil,
Its important to be aware of this stuff because the grifters scammers and third party intermediaries are going to have a field day. Open source and Local LLM's are probably the signal in the noise.
The space is moving crazy fast, and no one really knows where the train is headed.
That seems like a good assessment. Interesting times.
So having AI in my portfolio is pretty helpful here I would have to say!!! Few things I would like to point out...
It will have both a positive and negative impact.
I say AI will replace the 'Global Warming' propoganda.
How does that happen?
I believe very soon the world will find that 'Global warming' was nothing except a natural earthly phenomenon. Those who are running this propoganda will start forecasting that AI will kill the Earth. They'll do it to distract the innocent people and to hide their lies. But they would again lie. Won't tbey?
I get it now. This definitely seems plausible.
How do you manage to think the opposite of a fact while having zero proof about it?
Science (the same one that gave you your car, iPhone, internet or even your electricity etc etc) shows that human impact is gigantic and global warming real. Scientific consensus shows the reality of the world we live in, rising global temperatures (mainly CO2 levels).

Anyway I understand that itās difficult for you to see changes in the near term. Same as big fossil fuel industry lobbying. šØš»āššā
I see it's also difficult for you to remember 'the hole in Ozone layer.'
Montreal protocol and international cooperation to reduce CFCs. What we should have for fossil fuels and other pollutants.
You didnāt answer my comment tho. Youāre just adding more disinformation without any reliable source.
Science could be correct on anthropogenic climate change and "global warming as an existential threat" could still be propaganda.
Much power, wealth and control that comes with "saving the planet". Too much.
Scientific consensus is correct, until you bring tons of proofs that could reverse it (which didnāt happen in the last hundreds years).
About what you said, we could say exactly the opposite: industries (big polluters, which include politicians) have already to much power, wealth and etc. and want to protect it. I remember to You that we are already following the big polluters agenda, since the start of Industrial Revolution! We are the consequence of past acts : polluting without limits, global ppm rising and 6 earth limits already reached. (Just look at the place where you live, how much waste there is, how much CO2 we produce, etc.etc.). Our world is insane for the good and for the bad. Letās focus on what we can change!
Letās be pragmatic. Global warming could be used by some politicians to impose their ideas? Yes, it probably will and already is for past events. But for me, the most important is not to cry about what they want to do.
My main focus is to listen to science which means to reduce our CO2/methane production. It means for example to be able to produce our own free electricity (solar panels, like my grandpa did 30 years ago). Economically and ecologically good (even if Oil lobbyist say the opposite).
And then the next focus would be to work with every level of our societies to reach the net-zero emissions goal. šā I see it as a way to be independent, self-sovereign in many aspects and earth-friendly in many others.
ā Global warming could be used by some politicians to impose their ideas? Yes, it probably will and already is for past events. But for me, the most important is not to cry about what they want to do.ā
So if politicians were pro carbon caps on households and a social credit score relating to carbon emissions you wouldnāt care?
I am much more concerned about politicians and other elites using āclimate changeā as a vector of power for themselves and an excuse to impair individual liberty.
Ai is just another innovation. People are as overwhelmed as they had been for every other innovation before. Nothing to think and surely nothing to worry.
I agree with that. No need to worry.
I really don't care about it. I believe in two phrases.
I think I am mostly in the same camp
What is AI?
Artificial Intelligence!!
'Artificial' is enough to make it a no worry thing. When man made Nuclear bombs aren't sufficient to end humanity, AI certainly won't.
absolute worst case scenario: A.I. will convince men to make more nuclear weapons to make more death, so bitcoiners will make an A.I. that convinces men to make nuclear generators to make more hash, and the A.I.'s will finally battle it out on the free A.I. market.

That sounds kind of fun.
That's a great perspective. I agree with the fact that it will always be artificial. Nothing to fear.
I also believe that everything around AI is just overhyped and this is done for the profit of a few big players who are seeing that they are entering to the final zone of their supremacy. I'm definitely talking about Google, Microsoft and Meta. They can't survive longer without AI hype.
I agree. It is like the internet or crypto. A lot of hype.

let's just skip to the part with ultra-realistic sex robots and subsequent demographic collapse
What is a demographic collapse?
See the channel of Robert Miles AI safety to see the dangers of AI. And if you think of AI as a tool (which can be used maliciously by humans), you are missing the real danger. And it is exactly that - AI becoming 100s of times smarter than humans. Once that happens you have no way of controlling it (analogous how lions in africa have no way of controlling humanity... they don't even recognize that their survival as a spices is dependent on human behaviour and they can do nothing about that and would never even begin to comprehend the way humans can control them and their environment).
I don't believe ai can ever be "smarter" than humans. We have had calculators for a long time.
It's not a matter of belief. Since you used calculator as an example, imagine intelligence as a continuum from calculator to orders of magnitude higher than the smartest human. We've head continuous increase, albeit with some long periods of slow increase, and we are way past the intelligence of the calculator.
If you like to learn, watch the youtube channel I referenced above. It's very easy to follow.
And even if you are still 100% certain machines could never surpass human intelligence, I would like to ask you a question out of curiosity. Do you think humans have the maximum theoretical intelligence that is physically possible to exist in any entity - electronic or biological?
How do you, personally, define intelligence?
Well, or the purposes of the danger I am explaining it's best to think of intelligence as the ability to map a future states of the world to current actions that are possible for the agent to perform.
I see. It will be quite a show.
AI digs through our trash. And spits it back out at a cost. HuMans can have faith something they see as higher truth and experience inspiration, the hand of god.
Or maybe your right.
I'm not here to be right. Just observe.
You and I have a different definition of intelligence. For me, it is creativity. Creativity comes from a connection to source, where all ideas some from. This is not something a fast calculator will ever have. Just my belief. For me, it is a matter of belief. Belief creates reality. I live in the middle of the desert. AI will never worry me. š
If AI replaces this we'll be just fine.
Working in a place like that would be hell.
Worldly omniscience,
combined with social credit,
you should be afraid.
Not me. I have no social credit.
You'd like to think so.
Clearly you don't know me very well.
Or maybe your right. Maybe I am super jacked in. I doubt it.
how will A.I. help or hurt a man living in the desert?
A.I. does not bother man. man's mind is bothered by A.I.
I don't think it can hurt me. It's just part of the big show. I get to decide how much I want to participate.
When you are being a Luddite, just assume you are wrong IMO
Most people who use AI use ChatGPT afaik but when it comes to issues and questions that are even remotely political it will side with the status quo. So AI is supposed to help advance us and make us smarter, but if its centralized it will just protect the status quo no matter what.
Yeah. That is interesting. It has to have a biased because it doesn't actually think.
Is it really āArtificial Intelligenceā currently? Seems more like large scale brute force plagiarism to me? Hence the energy consumptionā¦
I agree. Isn't it just kind of guessing over and over until something kind of makes sense?
AI will replace many jobs, for sure, but if we harness the unique asset that is our brains, we will create one-of-a-kind value n not be replaced! Sensei is confident!

It'll be like the internet. Massive impacts, both good and bad.
I agree. It's going to change things for sure I would say.
I believe all of the above are likely narratives that will remain
It will replace google search
Seems likely.
