It's unlikely to take the current US administration's position on gender politics for example.
Bias is inherent in these kinds of systems.
15 years ago self driving of any sort was pure fantasy, yet here we are.
They'll release a version that can drive in poor weather and you'll complain that it can't drive in a tornado.
LOL, calm down mate. Fwiw, I've read your back and forth with the GP and I'm much more excited with their vision than yours.
Anyone with any imagination can see that LLMs are the future of story telling.
You can rage all you want, but progress will march on without you.
you say that like it's the simplest thing in the world. it really amazes me how quickly people acclimate to this mind-blowing tech.
what's the point of owning the factories if there is no one to buy the crap you produce? they need us more than we need them, at least until they have their own spaceships with AI and robots to fluff their balls for them.
if there is no duality, then what else can it be?
> there are entire philosophical movements that have developed fascinating accounts of consciousness that are far from strict materialism
philosophers can bloviate all day. meanwhile the computer nerds built a machine that can engage in creative conversation, pass physician and bar exams, create art, music and code.
I'm not saying there's nothing to learn from philosophy, but gee you have to admit that philosophers come up a little short wrt practical applications of their "Philosophical Investigations"
>There's a finite amount of ... experiences
I very much doubt that is the case in anything but the most pedantic, philosophical sense.
Controllers use analog input for the sticks. I guess you could create a system which uses a dead zone where the player "signals" their intention by partially moving the stick in their desired direction.
This would be incredibly cumbersome though, and the payoff would not be worth it.
yes absolutely, you can't have both realism and snappy response times.
Personally I prefer snappy movement i.e. when I press left the screen character moves left immediately. A more realistic looking animation system introduces a delay while you wait for the feet animation to "catch up" to player input.
AI is ok, but it will never ....
until it does, and then the goalposts will move.
the only logical endgame that I can see is AI replacing all human endeavour (creative, technical, physical, mental).
There will eventually be philosophers trying to make sense of the profound understandings coming from machines.
then don't do it?
hit the nail on the head right there.
we don't live in the 50s any more. My wife and I were living together for 8 years before we got married. That sure would have been one doozy of a long con if she turned around and suddenly became a totally different person once the ink dried on the marriage certificate.
Picking the right person is not the same as buying a lottery ticket, lol.
we eloped $3,000km away to the tropics to get married. it was more of a holiday with a wedding day thrown in. we loosely, no expectations, invited a few friends and family and were pleasantly surprised to find 30 people met us there.
The whole thing, holiday and all cost us around $10k and was a total blast.
I found the traditional wedding day routine to be super claustrophobic and rigid.
life is risk. marriage is a great way to de-risk many aspects of your life. 2x income for only 1.3x increased expenses. Easier debt/mortgage access. Support (financial/emotional) in case of illness or income loss.
>other person, who probably doesn't like me very much anyways
Marrying the right person is the key (hanging out with your best friend forever is cool), and that for sure is risky/not easy.
As with many things genetics plays a big part.
I neglected going to the dentist for 15 years and take just ok care of my teeth (brush at least once per day, don't floss).
I was expecting bad news, lots of cavities, but my teeth are perfect. After some plaque removal, not a single cavity.
Asked the dentist about this, he shrugged and just said "genetics".
2 years ago a machine that understands natural language and is capable of any arbitrary, free-form logic or problem solving was pure science fiction. I'm baffled by this kind of dismissal tbh.
>but LLMs are never going to go into a recursive loop of self-improvement
never is a long time.
right now we're all sharing a slice of GPT. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's some uber GPT (which requires a lot more processing per response) running in a lab somewhere that blows what's publicly available out of the water.
if you had described GPT to me 2 years ago I would have said no way, we're still a long way away from a machine that can fluidly and naturally converse in natural language and perform arbitrary logic and problem solving, and yet here we are.
I very much doubt that in 5 years time we'll be talking about how GPT peaked in 2023.
the human brain is a black box, we can certainly learn a lot about it by prodding and poking it.
>Things look like magic especially when you can’t look under the hood.
imagine we had a 100% complete understanding of the mechanical/chemical/electrical functioning of the human brain. Would knowing the magic make it any less magical? in some sense, yes (the mystique would be gone, bye bye dualism), but in a practical sense, not really. It's still an astonishingly useful piece of grey matter.
I'm not saying that you're wrong, but...
you'd have to provide a more rigorous rebuttal to be taken seriously.
AGI can exist without sapience and intelligence is a continuum. you can't just hand wave away GPT's capabilities which is why the sharpest minds on the planet are poking this new machine to work out wtf is going on.
human intelligence is a black box. we judge it by its outputs from given inputs. GPT is already producing human-like outputs.
a common rebuttal is: "but it doesn't *really* think/understand/feel", to which my response is: ...and? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what does that even mean?
my bar for tech singularity is an AI that can clean a toilet.
GPT's language model is already sophisticated enough to "understand" this instruction. It's missing spatial understanding and a way to interact with the real world, but I'd be honestly very surprised if there isn't a GPT or equivalent already hooked up to cameras/motors/actuators in a lab somewhere.
within our lifetimes we'll be reading papers with titles like: "does my roomba have feelings?"
in my 42 years on this planet I don't think i've made any novel discoveries.
