Am I the only one with an uneasy feeling about all these advancements? Are we going fast or is it just because of the buzz? I have a hard time separating the two. It’s very exiting and I want to keep being exited. I don’t want to become terrified.

Someone born in 1885 who lived to be 70 was brought into a world where it took weeks to get from the US to Europe, and died in a world where it took hours. TNT was the hottest in explosives at their birth, and we’d seen the spread of city ending explosives by their death. I personally feel nuclear proliferation is still orders of magnitude more frightening than anything AI has done.

Someone born in 1985 who is now 37-38 was brought into a world where the internet barely existed, and was barely an adult when the iPhone launched. There’s still a lot more that can happen.

Don’t listen to pessimists: the world will look very different, but we apes have a way of adapting.

> it turned it from a math dummy to a math genius overnight Imo your post fundamentally misunderstands a few things, but mainly how Wolfram works. Wolfram can be seen as a "database" that stores a lot of human mathematical information (along with related algorithms). Wolfram does not make new math . A corollary here is that AGI needs to have the ability to create new math to be truly AGI. But unless fed something lik…

If the litmus test for intelligence is the ability to “create new math” most people on earth wouldn’t be considered intelligent

This is a fair response, but in the author's defense, he might be trying to imply that intelligence is something that should be at least "capable" of creating new origin ideas and concepts. Of course, we can then debate what does it mean to be capable of original new ideas? (or what it means to be original)

We've been "moving too fast" since we figured out agriculture. It's fine. The world as you know it will change irreversibly; you'll long for the simplicity of youth; you will bemoan the state of the world we have left for our children... just like every generation before us did. It'll all be fine. Enjoy the ride, it's called life, and it's better than it ever has been.

These rah rah comments aren't illuminating or helpful. There are immense costs - societal and ecological - to progress that a lot of people seem to be blind to, whether willfully or not.

I strongly suspect the first AGI will come sooner than expected on the back of a "glue" AI that can intelligently bond together a web of narrow AIs and utilities. I got access to the wolfram plugin for chatGPT, and it turned it from a math dummy to a math genius overnight. A small step for sure, but a hint of what's to come.

There will be no AGI during our lifetime. It seems weird to me that people that should understand how ML works (e.g. sama) instead of educating laypeople about about how this actually works and the huge limits the technology has, start talking nonsense about AGIs like some random scifi fan at a convention. Depressing.

How can you speak with such confidence, when Hinton and Ilya Sutskever can not? Hinton even said it is possible in next 5-10 years.

While, you can believe whatever you believe, please don't bash people as laypeople or something as nonsense.

Being terrified doesn’t serve much purpose at this point. We are going too fast. Have been for years. This is just the first clear indication. Braking is fatal, but some seem pretty hell-bent. Deceleration is complicated, and it seems highly unlikely that there would be sufficient consensus for true deceleration. Local deceleration is simply waiting for the acceleration occurring somewhere else to overcome your effor…

I disagree. ChatGPT is a clear turning point. We have not been going too fast before, at least not outside LLMs. Singularity is a belief system, it has very little to do with AI. edit: I also think if we would ever get to a point where AI gets close to a point of possibly getting out of control as you imply it would simply be banned in the US/Canada/EU/Australia. Furthermore Latin America and Africa could and would b…

Kind of like how we could just ban fossil fuels if they ever start to become a problem.

I'll take the other side of that bet

Feel free to do so, we need something to replace crypto after all. And also, sometime I wonder how many people hold those kind of opinions on AGI(imminent, doable, worthy of being discussed) because they sincerely believe in some nonsense like the basilisk thing for example.

I don't believe in Basilisk because of the time-travel bullshit, but I do believe that AGI will come soon, because I don't believe in divine soul and see human mind as just a very complex statistics machine and all human learning as just detecting correlation between sensory input through time.

Except, whatever model is doing the orchestration will still not "understand" the problem (be able to learn from new information provided).

GPT-4 can do this. I realize that a description of how these models work implies that this is absolutely impossible , so I have no explanation other than suggesting you go try it out for yourself.

Bro, GPT-4 can absolutely not understand new information. Try to teach it a grammar. It can't learn a grammar. Anyone can learn a new grammar. Not GPT-4.

GPT-4 does not ask clarifying questions.

It does not understand things.

what do the owners of production do when the 6 billion workers decide they don't like not being able to eat?

I wonder if the physical workers join especially for services. Perhaps not, since they may be needed.

> If the litmus test for intelligence Moving goal posts around is unhelpful. I think my comment was pretty clear in the context of AGI and calling ChatGPT a "math genius."

The fact that people take agi to mean "can invent new math" is a goalpost shift on its own. That was not the original meaning (generally intelligent), that wasn't even the next moved goal (on par with human experts). I guess the next one counts (better than all human experts) but i'm sure we'll move that again too.
