At the very least local municipalities shouldn’t be bankrupting themselves to build data centers for these people, to create 10s of on site jobs. There is a county in Louisiana that is paying $22 million per estimated job created.
you think money is the bottleneck?
If we create a sentient AGI, I don’t fear what said AGI will do to us, but what we would do to that AGI.
I fear what we would do *with* the AGI
AI can’t even really write software right now. We’re nowhere close to AGI.
People will say that it can, but cant point to one piece of software that was truly written by AI and is also not a trivial, sloppy clone of something that already exists.
We need to start discussing how robots will replace the worker and destroy our livelihood
Brøther, may I have the funds for the AGI?
Throw these AI cons under the fucking jail already. Digital snake oil sales in 2025 being fully endorsed by governments is a curse.
I really hope we enter another AI winter.
I’m sure it will turn a profit at some point
HAVE NONE OF THESE ASSHOLES SEEN TERMINATOR
Why are we suddenly in such a rush to invent Skynet?
they havnt seen cylons, or irobot. Although cylons is a little different, using both AI and a human mind replicated into each new cylon mechanical conscieness.
Because it’s so much easier to tell robot to do thing than to do thing yourself.
They all just love themselves some torment nexus
As with all fictional horror … humans somehow manage to surpass it irl … so at some point we would welcome Skynet.
The real problem is if Skynet never manages to get fully independent from it’s human controllers.
Still the same war happens, just that the few humans in charge direct it.
Can someone explain to me what AGI means in this context? I thought it was something that Joe Rogan keeps peddling to my parents.
A machine made in the likeness of a human mind to quote a popular thing. Basically something that can think and reason in the same ways that we can and self improve.
Ironic since Joe Rogan isn’t an example of General Intelligence, he’s a very narrow intelligence. Limited only to stiring up trouble. But he couldn’t think his way out of an unlocked room.
Maybe instead of giving in to your prejudices, (like you think only your parents do), why … don’t you look it up?
prejudices
That word doesn’t mean, what you think it means.
It means you are exactly like the people you purport to hate.
Another way to express that is you’re an idiot who has stumbled across the English language, found it confusing, and is now just pressing random buttons.
Please disassociate yourself with this comment thread, the value you are providing it can be negatively expressed.
I would call you waste of oxygen, but really it’s a waste of electrons to store your invalid and totally irrelevant opinion, because it is of course, it’s the opinion of a moron.
Not to cause any offence or anything. I would hate to do that.
yo sick burn bro
Just go away.
You will not living up to your username you are being a brainless prat, maybe go learn something
What prejudices do you think I have, I just want to know what AGI stands for and what it means with AI and I want someone who isn’t Wikipedia to explain it to me? Is that so much to ask?
Oh I thought it was a rant about the word usage, my bad. AGI means artifical general intelligence.
Current AI works by predicting from data. We give last years hurricane data and it predicts hurricane forecast for this year.
Without getting into technical, this is how chatbots work too. We give a sentence and it predicts what first result on google or reply on whatsapp would look like.
AGI on the other hand is “sentience” where it does actually think for itself. You give robot body to an AGI with no data on cooking and it will figure out how to through messing around and thinking.
Techbros think if AI just figures out how to have a conversation in its head it will start to think and achieve AGI state where it can replace workers fully.
Problem is that chatbots just give illusion of sentience. The website is designed to look like messages but in reality it is not talking with any thoughts.
To give you an actual answer, it means “artificial general intelligence”
It’s a sci-fi term. Up there with “robots will become sentient and take over the world.” It means the first half, in fact.
Allegations of Sexual Abuse Against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman
Sam Altman, a prominent figure in the artificial intelligence field, has been accused of sexually abusing his sister during their childhood in Clayton, Missouri. The allegations came to light through a lawsuit filed on Jan. 6 by the Mahoney Law Firm in Glen Carbon, Illinois.
In the lawsuit, it is claimed that the abuse occurred between 1997 and 2006, starting when Altman was 12 years old and his sister, Ann, was only 3 years old. The abuse allegedly continued until Ann was 11 years old and Altman was an adult.
Thats why all the billionairs love him. He is a child rapist too!
artifice (noun) - clever or cunning devices or expedients, especially as used to trick or deceive others.

It’s all hype cycle bullshit. The Tech bubble was bursting so they hyped AI well past it’s true capacity. Investors threw money at it to hype it so others would buy in. The stock market is all hype. It just hypes anything it can to keep the growth artificially going. AI has real uses, but that wasn’t sexy enough for Wall Street. Then the bubble pops and the billionaire swoop in and steal more from everyone else.
crypto was the previous shiny new toy until it dint work, now AI will go through the same fate.
Everybody knows market cap is directly proportional to real world value and usefulness.
There is always someone who reckons they can get something from nothing. Also long as they exist the bubbles will continue
crypto was the previous shiny new toy until it dint work
The market cap of crypto is currently at all time highs.
Riiight, and how much of that is due to things being in actual “real-world” use, and how much of that is due to speculation?
Oh yes. A huge amount of speculation. Just like NVDA.
My point is that you can say a lot of negative things about crypto, but you can’t say it doesn’t work. It definitely works.
It doesn’t work as a currency. It “works” as a speculative investment in that the bubble hasn’t yet popped.
But, what if the bubble doesn’t actually pop, and the prices remain at the current levels, more or less, for another couple of decades. If that happens, will cryptocurrencies be seen to “work”?
Works, as in what exactly?
Works as a publicly shared, immutable, secure database (and small calculation) engine.
I own crypto because I believe in idea of decentralised money, but I acknowledge that current solutions are just all bad in one way or another. If fiat disappeared tomorrow and everyone would be forced to use crypto daily, it would be a shitshow.
From an end UI perspective, certainly.
But if SWIFT was suddenly replaced by a blockchain technology then the world wouldn’t even blink.
You kidding? How many transactions per second bitcoin blockchain can do?
Lightning can, in theory, do one million transactions per second. But Bitcoin networks aren’t really a drop in replacement for Swift.
Banks like J.P. Morgan prefer chains like Canton that are privacy enabled and have no upper limit on transaction.
First time hearing about Canton. Is it properly decentralised?
I’m so glad my 401k is going to vaporize because it’s mostly tech companies.
As an ignorant non-American who doesn’t know how 401k works, could you not redirect where your investment/retirement goes?
Only slightly, unfortunately it’s not as flexible as a normal investment account. I’ve done a good bit of trying to lessen the damage though.
That sucks. I work for an American company and I have to have mandatory pension contribution. I only put in 3% of my salary to it and stated I want them invested into medium risk funds.
I don’t trust company pensions to be my sole source of retirement funds, and so I started my own investment portfolio. Even though I know US companies are more profitable, but with the way things are going, I limited my investments to select few US companies and I plan to invest more on Asian and European stocks.
99% of ai companies go under before they win agi!
If we ever get AGI 100% of companys will go under.
I know some whine that the money could be used to literally solve world hunger forever. Or to help needy people, or sick kids, or to fund tangible scientific progress… But they’re not thinking about the fact that instead, we’re going to have the absolute best hallucinations from the richest companies!
