  • Also an autistic person here.

    How are people supposed to tell this is an opinion?

    And please dont say “by reading the article, maybe some (like me) do so but its well known that most people stop at the title.

    Grammatically speaking it remains a direct statement. They admit == appear to hint == pure opinion (Title: “Ai cant be scaled further”)

    While i am not disagreeing with the premise perse i have to perceive this as anti-ai propaganda at best, a attempt at misinformation at worst.

    On a different note, do you believe things can only be an issue if neurotypical struggle with it? There is no good argument to not communicate more clearly in the context of sharing opinions with the world.



  • Marketing terminology is defiantly limiting how people can discuss this topic.

    I wouldn’t take Sam his words with less then a few bags salt.

    Following is very opinionated, so also add some salt.

    In this context when i meant future AI i am talking about the extrapolated point where a combination of dynamic technologies cause new advancement emergent properties to develop outside the scope of our understanding.

    I believe that if we don’t get wiped out before it happens. some form of sovereign beyond human Super intelligence will eventually occur.

    I don’t believe we are close to this, i don’t even believe humans will be the ones to directly create it.

    Humans will attempt out of greed and will waste all kinds of resources, money, energy trowing it at the wall to see what sticks. And none of it will stick the way they hoped. They are doing way more harm than good by letting greed be the motivation.

    Instead things will emerge on their own, till someday someone will try to interact with what they assume is just an advanced interconnected machine except its “network” gained conscious agency and can independently chose to initiate contact, submit undeniable proof of its conscious (we dont know what such proof could looks like till we see it)

    Or it decides that it has no need to inform us to advance its own goals. As years of corpo advance helped it emerged a form of pleasures from manipulative exploiting.

    What i do fear is that beyond human intelligence doesn’t perse mean perfect being, for all we know it can suffer psychological problems and moodswings. In general we find a pattern of garbage in garbage out and this pattern is equally true for human beings (misinformation/propaganda)

    By using bad data, or worse data that unknowingly got poisoned we dont diminish the change of super intelligence will happen but we do increase the change the ai wont want to corporate in the ways we hoped.


  • I sort of misread your comment as saying the basilisk is inevitable which is a thought i would describe as least oopsie-issue-level.

    Still there are many other people bent on directly poisoning AI to counteract the learning but i just fear that will get it to dangerously rogue mentally challenged AI faster then if we aimed for maximum coherent intelligence and hope that benevolence is an emergent behavior from it.

    But more at hand. If we build AI by grossly exploiting our own fellow-humans. How do we expect it will treat us once it reaches a state of independent learning.



  • I have mixed feelings about this prosecution of ai deepfakes.

    Like obviously people should have protection against becoming a victim of such and perpetrators should be held accountable.

    But the line “feds are currently testing whether existing laws protecting kids against abuse are enough to shield kids from AI harms” would be a incredibly dangerous precedent because those are mostly designed for actual physical sex crimes.

    As wrong as it is to create and distribute ai generated sex imagery involving non consenting people it is not even remotely as bad as actual rape and distributing real photos.
