I hate how he thinks he's super deep for repeating the most basic ass science fiction ideas that literally billions of 12 year olds throughout history have thought about. Wow you want self driving cars and rocketships to Mars, those totally haven't been written about in like tens of thousands of science fiction novels since the 60s, you're such a super smart genius for coming up with them all by yourself. How about I make your ass a biological bootloader for my foot?

Damn, I think I at this point i actually prefer the old religious "humans are special and different from other animals cuz god have us the consciousness" shit to this new techno-religion "biological sucks, destroy consciousness and bring on the machines" shit. At least there were some Christians and shit throughout history that really cared about animals (and some other religions have been better). This shit is just anti-life completely

Or here's another idea. If this is actually a real threat, how about we treat it like one? We can simply choose not to develop certain technologies; we've done it multiple times. We've had the tech for human cloning for decades, but we decided it was unethical and to simply not pursue the technology. We could do the same for AI beyond a certain level of complexity.

Hell, if this really is a threat to the human race, I would fully support just outlawing computers entirely if that's what it took. Fuck it, we'll just go back to pen and paper. It would be an extreme step, but if that's what it takes, so be it. We can go full Dune, "thou shall not make a machine in the likeness of the human mind."

At the very least we ought to ban wasting more than a some number of GWh/year on training the same model as last year but with 100x parameters

I like to imagine an alt reality where some nice English teacher saw little Elon struggling and was nice to him and prevented his evil brainworms and he grew up to be a SciFi writer who only occasionally talked about his weird upbringing when being interviewed with the SFWA. Still addicted to ketamine though.

Unfortunately he just becomes Neil Gaiman in that timeline

Damn you're probably right.

What does that even mean? Literally nonsense

he's saying that the purpose of humanity is to birth AI, the most important thing to happen in the history of the known universe

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

As I said, this is still nonsense
