Realistically we will probably see something like bus lanes everywhere for self-driving cars where they are considered exempt from capabilities a human is capable of, making the whole system worse for everyone but you get to be driven to work in a $80k Audi instead of a bus like a filthy poor.

Ha, yeah that seems about right. Always annoying how a lot of technology seems to get used just in the worst possible way. There is a lot of possible very good uses for self driving cars, but it is likely when ever they come about lots of people will just use it as an excuse for why no, we shouldn't invest more in public transport actually.

Also AI is impossible and stupid at even the slightest amount of thinking about it

Consider a neural network of comparable complexity to a human brain (which is really loving complex, more so than simply counting neurons would suggest, and far far beyond current hardware).
Go through a full 20-year rearing process similar to a human neonate, duplicating a lot of the internal processes at the same time (such as pruning).
It is conceivable that after trying this enough times you will eventually create something possessing general intelligence.
At this point it is inferior to a regular human while costing fantastically more. But there are two notable points
1) It can now be duplicated endlessly by copying the files
2) it has no rights whatsoever

This is of course incredibly immoral and a violation of every human right ever, but these issues can be dealt with by simply ignoring them.

this is a fair point, and there are absolutely certain applications that blow humans out of the water (I honestly think operating motor vehicles is one of these areas, as much as people like to think that is a unique domain to humans or we are somehow superior to a machine with multiple sensors to detect collisions)

I think people who underestimate the potential of these algorithms/heuristics should see how it has done in games like Poker, long through to be a domain where humans would reign supreme because of our unpredictability

even if AGI is a pipe dream, specialized AI in specific domains can do a hell of a lot in the mean time on problems that aren't the hard problem of consciousness

Back before deep learning I was studying various algorithms for sorting data. I thought the neural network ones were interesting because they were based off brain networks (in a very hand-wavy way, for example there's not currently a biologically plausible explanation for back-propagation which is like... the entire way NNs learn anything). They had a following back then that thought their biological basis meant they were destined for big things, but I wrote them off as interesting but ultimately less powerful than other algorithms, and the field was very stagnant at that time.

Then like 2 or so years later deep learning stuff came out and then we started getting DallEs and ChatGPTs and now it's the new hot thing.

I don't know about poker, but when I was studying the game to beat was 'go,' which had a set of possible board configurations so huge that it was impossible to beat it through calculating board win probabilities, and the complexity of the game increases as the game goes on (in most games like chess it goes down as the game goes on and people run out of options). It was trivial for a master to beat any AI. I cannot over emphasize how impossible the AI task of winning at Go was, it made the chess AIs look like child's play. When deep learning came out it absolutely destroyed Go.

Anyway, I'll stop making GBS threads up the thread and get some sleep, but I do get the weird hype around NNs. They had a weird religious following even when they sucked and I'm sure their sudden explosion in power and popularity has been very vindicating. I wish I'd stuck with them, then I'd be fleecing rubes with my terrible AI garbage.

The problem isn't operating a motor vehicle in and of itself (which any well-trained computer algorithm should be able to exceed the skill of most humans in ideal conditions), but rather in the environment in which we use motor vehicles, which is an absurd mish-mash of non-deterministic, somewhat ill-defined and occasionally ad-hoc systems.

Humans are comfortable with absurdity - you might even say we thrive on it. Computers don't do absurdity well.
good explanation, nothing to argue with there

this is something we cannot currently do, because we don't know what the comparable complexity is or know of any way of "duplicating a lot of the internal processes at the same time"

consciousness is more than just an electrochemical reaction; there is something emergent that is unexplainable in any biological or physiological sense, and we currently lack the capacity to adequately explain emergentism.

But it did so in a way that betrayed its nature - it doesn't understand what 'Go' is or that it's playing a game, it just follows a set of routines that it has found to be successful. And because of that, it can be consistently exploited.

I mean they (narcissists/ malignant narcs in particular) ussually have a deep, deep self-loathing and inferiority complex that is buried in their subconscious that causes all of this, and they can't EVER face that because their identities and self-concepts are extremely fragile.

He will never say that out loud though, or write it in public, and I don't know if they are capable of realizing they are stupid or just belligerently evil or selfish, just that everyone is out to get them because they are so awesome is typically all that they feel, and ways to hurt you for not appreciating that. They will also love bomb you with gifts or gestures so you shower them with praise, real emotional affection is extremely rare to non-existent though. They don't typically love or apologize like other people do.

His children should sever from him and never speak to him again if they can, that's all you can do with them. They don't change, they just calcify into something worse.

Wouldn't an actual AGI need to consist of many hundreds or thousands of artificial neural networks, much like our own brains consists of many many biological neural networks that all operate together. We can barely make any at all right now there's no way we're anywhere close to an agi

Elon Musk has decried a wave of “insane” strikes focused on Tesla workshops in Sweden, as workers target the US electric car manufacturer in a strike calling for collective bargaining rights.

In what has been portrayed as the largest fight in decades to save Sweden’s union model from global labour practices, the powerful trade union IF Metall has been leading a strike across eight Tesla workplaces in Sweden for five weeks.

It is the first time workers for the US carmaker have gone on strike and on Thursday, Musk, the tech billionaire and chief executive of Tesla, made his feelings clear, writing on X, formerly Twitter: “This is insane.”

He was responding to a social media post about secondary, or sympathy, strikes by Swedish postal services that are preventing licence plates reaching new Tesla cars.

quote:

The Tesla strike has attracted secondary action from eight other unions and is threatening to spread to neighbouring Norway, where Fellesförbundet (sic) (the United Federation of Trade Unions), the country’s largest private sector union, said it was prepared to take sympathy action.

I guess the example for me is, if you are going under an overpass and see a car on fire on top, it's probably safe to pass underneath, if you see overpass with a Exxon fuel truck on it and there is a liquid pouring down onto the road there are a lot of assumptions that a human can make about the safety of the situation that would be really difficult for AI, you have to understand what a fuel truck is, you have to understand why one would be labeled Exxon, make a leap to that it is probably carrying a very flammable chemical, that the tank is probably punctured if there is a large amount of fluid draining onto the road, that the fluid is likely from the truck because overpasses don't usually have large amounts of fluids coming off of them when it is not raining and that fluid is likely now covering the area you are intending on passing over and is highly likely to be suddenly engulfed in flames that could kill you.

That is a lot of loving stuff to infer that is easy for a human and incredibly difficult for AI.
I would simply put the AI in the truck which would prevent it from catching fire.
