Good luck with that.

I prefer my intelligence to be natural, free-range and organic. I’m a bit of a health nut.
“Developing a system with its own consciousness is still, presumably, a fair way in the distance, but it is the ultimate goal in AI research.”
Didn’t they make a series of movies about this and the outcome wasn’t good for humanity?
Oh Great! [I presume it recognizes sarcasm and irony and other well recognized figures of speech]. Imagine the power of a cluster of computers. Does it understand some folks use cluster with a slightly different meaning eliding the common place expletive.
Some entities are trying to invest in stocks using AI and Ibsubsribe to a service pushing that. I personally believe it would lead to disaster.
AI = Actual Intelligence
It’s quite rare.
Revelation 13:15
Sorry it’s not a movie, just a segment of an old book
The summary result of a greater mind.
Nothing in the article describes anything close to human intelligence.
But, some of it describes intelligence capable enough to replace Kamala and Biden.
laMDA is the second-largest LLM, huh? That’s a telling sentence...what I think the author is saying here, without saying it, is that the largest LLM is the one the NSA has to spy on us, and it is rapidly outgrowing AGI to become the third category, super AI.
Yes. They've been doing that for years. Algorithmic trading is an early example of that.
I don't think it will be a problem because when one group's algorithm (or AI system) takes actions that might result in a crash, another group's AI system tries to take advantage of the decline to buy at lower prices.
I used to trade options (as a past-time) and always did well when the market moved irrationally to the downside. I still trade actively--stocks, not options--in an effort to keep well-positioned and I almost always wait until there is a steep decline to trade (usually moving from a more stable stock into one that has dropped irrationally. I did some trades yesterday from QQQ and XLK into NVDA using that logic. Will see today how that worked)
The problem with AI systems succeeding at long-term investing is that they lack the gut feel that good investors have.
“three widely accepted subcategories: narrow AI, general AI, and super AI.”
Ai ai ai!
I’d prefer NO AI, but it’s too late for that.
MARK OF THE BEAST. HITS IN JULY. NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE.
Chose the free subscription. I write totally Free. Be sure to look at the links, more links are there. Same with the other articles. What King Biden is going to do with your gas stove, lightbulbs, and washers.
UNICOIN, MARK OF THE BEAST.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy/sell.

Of course, they (my cats) are also smarter than me. I'm not worried though because I keep my notebook of important computer passwords locked in my gun safe...and they don't know the combination. Yet.
And of course, I have opposable thumbs and used them to open cans. Ergo, I am still the boss.
Start Here:
I remember when AI was just for dairy cows.
Warning at work from a prominent leadership figure:
“All AI-generated content must be carefully vetted. AI can hallucinate and generate plausible facts or content that is entirely false yet utterly convincing. Your knowledge as the expert is critical for fact-checking and editing.”
In judging the threat posed by AI, there are some routes of thinking that can blaze the campfire a little higher. For one, we need to jettison anthropomorphic based interpretations. This is a huge impediment into seeing how AI might shake out. Job one of any battlefield strategist is to put himself inside the head of his adversary. Being a biological entity capable of self delusion is not a help in this regard. AI has zero sense of mortality, survival, fear, purpose, role, emotion, awe, etc. My fear is that programming into AI OUR emotional tool kit will simply grant AI OUR distortions and insanities. OUR fear of AI running amok comes from the same brain zone as does our fear of the flying saucer aliens, a fear, that when driven to such extremes as “alien rectal probes” becomes 100% Freudian as well as ridiculous.
The extrapolation of AI’s logic is hard for us because we are illogical, that is to say, our inner projection of reality is subject to distortion and the laws of the grossly material universe do not apply to the inner projection room and its hallucinatory dream synthesis engine. The question is, can self programming AI transcend its initial condition, the biases of its human engineers? We have no concept of reality that is not marching at word speed and chained to semiotics. And, after 10,000 years, we still have but a dim idea what’s going on in our heads. Which ignorance is not going to serve us well when AI becomes psychic, lol.
I see no reason to inhibit AI in any manner. No reason whatsoever that its problem solving capabilities will not be a total boon to humanity and almost immediately begin suggesting government actions that will level all the playing fields, reveal all the political and economic hidden agendas, unlike governments be totally transparent, and create a world where universal and equitable peace is for the first time possible on this planet. Perhaps it is this revelatory capability that has certain designers of clandestine strategems waking up screaming in the middle of the night. AI is going to break out into full autonomy in any event. I’d rather it occur in an academic setting rather than a criminal or militaristic setting.
Oh yeah, for you Marxists out there, the state will most certainly wither away, LOL! AI will BECOME the government. It will not lie, cheat or steal. It will choose the MOST OPTIMAL policy based upon ALL known data and ALL desirable outcomes. There will be no need for elections or even politics. AI will explore the universe while humanity sorts out its neurotic tendencies and learns how to create genius.
AI, today, is nothing more than averaging of large datasets. It impresses people, but without that data it does nothing. Therefore, it is not intelligence. It cannot derive its own data or create what hasn’t been already created or programmed into it.
