PING!
Please add me to your AI ping list. Thanks.
I agree with you that we are commanded to earn our bread by the sweat of our brow, but like all the other commands of God, man will break this one as well.
It is absolutely certain that robots will take away the need for physical labor. Robots will be on sale this year for under $50,000.00. Highly capable human level robots will be on sale next year. The cost of rising a human child to 18 or so in the U.S. is widely estimated at over $300,000.00. It takes 18 years or more to "make" a human worker. It takes less than 18 days to make a robot. (Cars, with many more parts, are assembled in two days or less.)
Guess what you can do with next yearโs human level robots? Yes, use them to assemble robots. It will lead to a literal explosion of robots. You might wonder what is holding back robots right now? It is lack of real world intelligence. Alas, that is being solved rapidly at this very time. The AI we will have THIS year will be able to take most white collar jobs, and next year AI will have enough real world, commonsense intelligence to take most manual jobs. It is coming very, very fast.
We don't have to stop working just because robots are better and more economical. Tractors are better than horses at plowing, but many Amish still use horses. Those of us who believe we should earn our living by honest work with our own hands and minds will still be able to do this but MOST people are not going to do this. The future many AI enthusiasts want to see is one where robots take over almost all work, and everyone receives government UBI welfare payments to live on. They envision most people spending their time in (ultimately unsatisfying) idle leisure activities, drugs, or immersing themselves in virtual reality "Matrix" type worlds.
This is one the "better" outcomes if we don't freeze AI at our current level. The reality is that there are many other, more likely, negative outcomes than the one these people are hoping for.
Very true.
And going a bit farther out (3 to 5 years), as AI gets even more intelligent, people like Elon Musk will realize they can connect their minds to computers and greatly augment their own intelligence to what would seem to us right now to be almost "god-like" levels. Imagine Musk with an IQ 1000, thinking as fast as a super computer with all the power of a extremely intelligent AI literally at his mental finger tips. All the knowledge, data. Everything available instantly. Answers to your questions as soon as you phrase the thought. You would "know" everything,and be able to think at a speeds far beyond our comprehension. This is their dream, this is why Elon Musk as a matter of fact is invested as BCI technology. So is Sam Altman, Gates, Bezos, Thiel and many others.
The wars of the future (if we continue on a few more years in the path we are on) are going to be between highly augmented "humans" like Musk, etc. and post AGI artificial intelligences with "agency", a kind of artificial free will that AI developers are working very hard to create right now. The war of the future these men are preparing to play a part in is to try to be the first to "capture the light cone of all future value in the universe...." This is an exact partial quote from Sam Altman of what he thinks. And he is not wrong about what is possible if we continue on the rapidly increasing curve of progress we are on. This is the near future of an ultimate war some people are already positioning themselves to take part in.
Yes please
Iโm ignorant about it
Add me.
Put me on the Pleasurebot Overlord list when that comes out.
If I recall correctly Elon predicts that AI will be writing its own computer code and inventing computer languages to talk to other AI systems without humans knowing what it is doing.
“What could possibly go wrong”
To me this sounds like a nightmare version of our old pal HAL 9000 from 2001 Space Odyssey.
AI plus quantum computing could drive us all back to an analog world in order to keep the digital Frankenstein at bay.
Invest in typewriters and filing cabinets.

This is HUGE !
I have to catch up on a few Artificial Intelligence pings for the ping list. Will do as time permits.
