Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
If AI ends up destroying us, I’d say it’s unlikely to be because it hates us or wants to destroy us per se - more likely it just treats us the way we treat ants. We don’t usually go out of our way to wipe out ant colonies, but if there’s an anthill where we’re putting up a house, we don’t think twice about bulldozing it. Even in the cartoonish “paperclip maximizer” thought experiment, the end of humanity isn’t caused by a malicious AI - it’s caused by a misaligned one.
That would by definition mean it’s not superintelligent.
Superintelligence doesn’t imply ethics. It could just as easily be a completely unconscious system that’s simply very, very good at crunching data.
If you’re genuinely interested in what “artificial superintelligence” (ASI) means, you can just look it up. Zuckerberg didn’t invent the term - it’s been around for decades, popularized lately by Nick Bostrom’s book Superintelligence.
The usual framing goes like this: Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is an AI system with human-level intelligence. Push it beyond human level and you’re talking about Artificial Superintelligence - an AI with cognitive abilities that surpass our own. Nothing mysterious about it.
I thought I was being perfectly polite in my response. I don’t understand how this place can be so full of jerks.
I’m not justifying it - just explaining why it happens. If you walk into a male-dominated space and start lecturing people about gender pronouns, this is the reaction you’re going to get. If they’d stuck to talking about cars, it wouldn’t have happened in the first place.
It’s also worth noting that some languages don’t have gendered pronouns at all - Finnish, for example. We use the same pronoun for men and women, so when I say “he” in English, I might be referring to a man or just a person in general. I know that’s not grammatically correct in English, but for me - and probably for a lot of others - “he” doesn’t automatically mean male. It’s just how the pronoun from our native language maps over.
“Study my brain. I’m sorry,” Tisch quoted Tamura as having written in the note. The commissioner noted that Tamura had fatally shot himself in the chest.
Didn’t shoot himself in the head to preserve the brain. Reminds me of the “Texas Tower Shooter” Charles Whitman.
In his note, Whitman went on to request an autopsy be performed on his remains after he was dead to determine if there had been a biological cause for his actions and for his continuing and increasingly intense headaches.
During the autopsy, Dr. Chenar reported that he discovered a pecan-sized brain tumor, above the red nucleus, in the white matter below the gray center thalamus, which he identified as an astrocytoma with slight necrosis.
I’ve heard a neuroscientist talk about this and conclude that this tumor could very well have been the cause for his behavior.
Deleted / Wrong thread.
It was supposed to be a joke. They live around 2 to 4 years.
which is perfectly normal.
Not on a car forum. That’s straight up asking for trouble.
I don’t think most real women would bring up the fact that they’re a woman - especially on a car forum. Not that they’d hide it, but just wouldn’t bring it up, the same way most men don’t bring up that they’re men. When someone makes a point of mentioning it, it immediately raises suspicion, and if they get defensive about it, that’s another red flag. Throw in a gendered username or an avatar on top of that and you’ve got all the hallmarks of a guy pretending to be a woman.
I know some women are genuinely into cars - I even know one personally - but that doesn’t mean they can’t act like men. And most men have been fooled enough times online that we’ve just gotten pretty cynical about it.
I’ve had the same gerbil for almost 30 years. I doubt I’d notice if someone swapped it into identical colored one in the middle of the night.
Judging by the comments here I’m getting the impression that people would like to rather provide a selfie or ID.
I’ll make sure to try crying tomorrow in the hopes that my tools magically appear on the jobsite.
No other than it’s geographically closer to my actual location so I thought the speed would be faster.
I agree with the sentiment but despite the vast amount of pushback and downvotes I get for voicing certain views it’s extremely rare for me to have my comments removed let alone be banned. Some individual communities might be worse than others and .ml communities you should avoid like the plague anyway but broadly speaking I’d still claim that it’s pretty difficult to get mods to take action against you as long as you’re being polite.
And as a self-employed I only know how much I earned at the end of the year which could be wildly different than the year before.
EU is about to do the exact same thing. Norway is the place to be. That’s where I went - at least according to my ip address.
I’m not sure I know what I want for life but I have a number of things I don’t want so I’m trying my best to steer clear of those.
I personally think the whole concept of AGI is a mirage. In reality, a truly generally intelligent system would almost immediately be superhuman in its capabilities. Even if it were no “smarter” than a human, it could still process information at a vastly higher speed and solve in minutes what would take a team of scientists years or even decades.
And the moment it hits “human level” in coding ability, it starts improving itself - building a slightly better version, which builds an even better version, and so on. I just don’t see any plausible scenario where we create an AI that stays at human-level intelligence. It either stalls far short of that, or it blows right past it.
