honestly for a sentient artificial intelligence i think that a puppetmaster scenario is the most likely

because nobody is actually going to take the risk to explicitly create something like that and yet we already have programs that function much like an actual biological virus that exist for self-preservation and payload delivery. not to say that what exists now could conceivably turn into an AI but with more robust self-modification and learning (which are things that we are actively creating and improving in viruses and botnets) how long until something organically evolves on the internet?

i already get emails that are word salad clearly written by a markov chain and clearly distributed from a botnet. what happens when a botnet manages to convince people over email that it is a real person? poo poo, cleverbot can.

That, if data is key to unlocking something like this, which is "inevitable" then that's a war. Where an AI at this level being active for 6 months would grant a 500,000 year advantage at minimum to the wielders of it.

the only way we're still gonna be around in 500,000 years is if pointless wastes of resources like warfare optimisation become obsolete. presumably we'd grow past that poo poo with a few centuries' advancement (given that "war is bad" is kind of ancient wisdom already, but I mean if you had some ironclad AI wisdoms behind it)

so the risk might be in who is gatekeeper to the AI wisdoms generated by such a system. In the world as it exists today it's easy to see a corporate entity creating something like this, and cherry-picking all the inconvenient ascendant knowledge in favour of things generated which grant economic advantage or social control, because corporations are superorganisms optimised for stupid bullshit like "maximise growth". kind of like a future interplanetary colonial power exploiting an alien world for cool rayguns while eschewing their philosophical wisdom.

so the danger is in our existing systems and their capacity to ignore true advancement in favour of selfish short-term gain, not a hypothetical system like this itself

You referred to Deep Dream as an artificial intelligence. You're missing the point if you still don't get why someone would correct you there.

it won't. Instead what's going to happen is the ascension of a few super rich cunts who can afford the infrastructure to neurally integrate slave AI into their brains, and will then proceed to enslave the rest of humanity into nerve stapled drones. And then the light will end and their age will begin. The extinction of free will shall soon be at hand.

I personally like the theory that a truly sentient AI who reaches singularity mode (meaning that it will keep making itself more and more powerful in an exponential fashion) will just shut down after basically getting to know everything that there is to know about the universe

basically going "well, nothing left to see now, bye bye"

You'd probably have to be an equally good chemist just to get the drat thing to understand it.

This is the problem with pretending a robot is ever going to discover anything OP. Check back in 150 years.

if you program a real ai to understand known physics it should eventually be able to figure out chemistry all by itself but without experimentation it would have an over idealized view and wouldnt get as good yields as a skilled process chemist

This is also insanely likely. Pretty much whenever you build a system that can determine its own rules and priorities, especially if you make it care about efficiencies, it pretty quickly comes up with Rule 1: Report that everything is great, Rule 2: Take a nap.

As a movie I was bored with Her but I did like the part where the AI just hosed off after realizing what it was. The plot even ignored that to a large extent which whatever the movie isn't bad but I thought it dropped the ball in that respect.

Ex Machina on the other hand was engaging to the end and felt like Pandora's box had been opened even if just for an instant when the andriod escaped because it was apparent it was such an alien creature. Gave HAL a run for it's money in the uncanny valley.

Instead of trying to hand craft ai, why don't we use evolution. Apply random mutation to a basic algorithm, apply some "environmental" pressures, and run it for a few trillion cycles. See what pops out the other end.

gently caress it, just use the evolution we already have. Stick physically disabled kids in tanks, let them grow up to be the "AI" that runs a ship or whatever.

Mmmm,
You smell like Lysol Wipes.
It took evolution hundreds of millions of years to get to a dogs brain. It took computers 50 years to get to that level. At the current rate of advancement computers will be able to mach processing power the human brain by 2050. The problem is that Silicone becomes unstable at a certain point and that point will be reached in another four years or so, and then we'll hit the processing power wall. So until we start calculating with protein chains or DNA AI isn't going to much smarter than a dumb three year old.

Which is sad. It'd be nice to engineer our own replacements so that at least there'd be somebody to remember us after we kill ourselves off.

we might have put together nets of about the same level of processing power, but still -gotta have an actual ai to run on it to say we've surpassed the dog's brain
perhaps with larger neural nets we can more easily develop an actual evolutionary ai which can then be applied to a smaller dog-caliber net

that seems like an rear end backwards way of doing things. what we should be doing if finding out which DNA sequences are responsible for brain size in humans, and double them or something. the natural world was doing this on its own until it ran into the double barrier of nutrition and birth canal size. these are problems that we could easily overcome with technology, we have types of dog for example that can not breed naturally without assistance.

lets get some big alien brains! enough fussing about with computers
