CSS ruined the internet and it will ruin this as well.

Then they find out it’s the the low battery warning on a carbon monoxide detector under the stairs of the emergency exit.
And absolutely no one was shocked.
You seem to have this optimistic view that humanity is invincible against any threat but itself
I didn’t say that. You’re making assumptions. However, I don’t take AGI as a serious risk, not directly anyway. AGI is a big question mark at this time and hardly comparable to a giant comet or pandemic, of which we have experience or solid scientific evidence. Could it be a threat? Yeah. Do I personally think so? No. Our reaction to and exploitation of will likely do far more harm than any direct action by an AGI.
Agreed, partially. However, the “techbros” in charge, for the most part, aren’t the researchers. There are futurologists who are real scientists and researchers. Dismissing them smacks of the anti-science knuckleheads ignoring warnings about the dangers of not wearing masks and getting vaccines during the pandemic. Not everyone interested in the future is a techbro.
True. But we are still talking about what is essentially an alien mind. Even if it can do a good impression of a human intelligence, doesn’t mean it is a human mind. It won’t have billions of years of evolution and thousands of years of civilization and development.
Idk about societal collapse, but think about the amount of damage the World Wide Web and social media has and continues to do. Look at the mess cars have made of cities around the world over the course of a century. Just because it doesn’t happen overnight, doesn’t mean serious problems can’t occur. I think we have 10 years before the labour market is totally upended, with or without real AGI. Even narrow AI is capable of fucking things up on a scale no one wants to admit.
I think you’re right on the money when it comes to the real dangers, especially your first bullet point. I don’t necessarily agree with your napkin maths. If the virtual neurons are used in a more efficient way, that could make up for a lot versus human neuron count.
Plutonium is a bargain!
It could be only hype. But I don’t entirely agree. Personally, I believe we are only a few years away from AGI. Will it come from OpenAI and LLMs? Maybe, but it will likely come from something completely different. Like it or not, we are within spitting distance of a true Artificial Intelligence, and it will shake the foundations of the world.
I believe much of our paranoia concerning ai stems from our fear that something will come along and treat us like we treat all the other life on this planet. Which is bitterly ironic considering our propensity for slaughtering each other on a massive scale. The only danger to humanity is humans. If humanity is doomed, it will be our own stupid fault, not AI.
Chicxulub’ed
New word of the day.
Krita has mostly left GIMP in the dust, as far as UI and basic tools. The brush engine and ability to handle large files is so much better. It’s vector and text tools need work, and so do the image filters and such. Even so, Krita destroys GIMP. Even the name, which isn’t great, is leagues better.
Pipewire and Pipewire Jack drop-in replacement. Also with and without a rt kernel. They exhibited the exact same behaviour.
Krita has a better brush engine and the AI plugin is amazing. The live AI painting with layers is so cool. It’s like magic
I couldn’t get latency down enough to be usable. Audio on Linux is not good.
None. I don’t buy AAA games.
Idk about other people but I don’t have the money, and can’t justify buying a console in addition to a PC. If I had that extra money, I’d upgrade my computer. That and I don’t like AAA games and I’m already invested in Steam and GOG libraries.
Sorry, no.
