"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

AI doomerism typically refers to the belief that AI will rise up against us and kill us all. Given that current "AI" is just a guessing machine, that won't happen, barring substantial breakthroughs. The end-of-the-world narratives are basically marketing for AI, as in, "hey, if this thing got any smarter, it would destroy the world".

Those words were addressed to Geoffrey Hinton, who once said this

Hinton said. Biological intelligence evolved to create digital intelligence, which can absorb everything humans have created and start getting direct experience of the world.

“It may keep us around for a while to keep the power stations running, but after that, maybe not,“ he added. “We’ve figured out how to build beings that are immortal. These digital intelligences, when a piece of hardware dies, they don’t die. If … you can find another piece of hardware that can run the same instructions, you can bring it to life again. So we’ve got immortality, but it’s not for us.”
