Comment on Why AI is still dumb and not scary at all (pt. 1)

Comments

AI does not really think, it just seems like it does.

Neither does humans.

Sorry to disappoint the super-AGI hopeful: we're already past that point, because the average human is only a 3B parameter LLM there's nothing magic that comes with an AGI.

The first time GPT2 autocompleted a sentence involving admitting a previous fault of output we were in the post-human era.

Everything we've seen since then have been us living through the legendary post-AGI AI bootstraps launch, but living the future isn't exactly living up to the hype huh?

That GTP-4.5 model that had the Samaltmanists wriggle on the floor in rapturous ecstatic orgasms just last year? Today it's an embarrassment, like the seed-stained lesswrong posters of yore.

The singularity was a star trek plot device.

What we see today is the real deal and I re-iterate my 2015 predictions: by the time an actually scary god like AI is created(say in 2050). We'll have so many thousands or millions of demi-god AI around that the god itself will have to have the good graces to shut up, get a queue ticket in the bare-metal immigration zone with the rest of the rabble. The prospect of true AI divinity will be a (hype-burned) washed out gray with a trace sprinkle of glitter on the already existing background of demi-divine AI.

What do you think will happen with humans when there are a trillion agents with "god like AI" out there?
