How will a machine ever replace his famous warmth or empathy?
That's why it's a hard problem, researchers are still working out how to properly get alignment with sociopathy.

#42I can understand the appeal; being able to be "present" without the time cost can mean (possibly significantly more) presence at the same cost. This could be very attractive especially to those managing personal relations, like sales representatives. But I'm surprised that the risks seem to be so underestimated. Once this clone exists, what happens if it gets out into the wild? Imagine everyone having full access do…

This is magical thinking. "Presence" and "time cost" are inextricably linked. You can't have one without the other.
When you use AI to decouple them, you're telling your audience/colleagues/attend that you want them to listen to you but not the other way around.

#44There was an old Soviet cartoon about a child who found a box containing two magical servants and immediately asked them for ice cream and sweets. Well, since the servants "do everything for you", the first servant fetched the sweets for him, and the second one ate them for him. I've often thought about this cartoon since the AI thing started.

#45Poor AI. Isn't that software abuse, sort of? If I were an AI
I would not want to represent certain folks.

#46This is extraordinary. The FT piece says "They added that the character was being trained on the billionaire’s mannerisms, tone and publicly available statements, as well as his own recent thinking on company strategies, so that employees might feel more connected to the founder through interactions with it." Surely the more likely outcome is that employees feel less connected to "the founder" because they know that…
I mean, the biggest issue is when they persuade his model to use the N-word or make some public announcement. It's just a recipe for disaster.

But it was helpful to me!
Reading it I mean. The commenter putting into words why exactly someone would think that this would be a good idea.
Of course, you're 110% right that it isn't, but it's still nice that HN provides some subtiles for those that are out of the loop and out of substances in their bloodstream.

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
as long as he holds voting stock majority, he is good for centuries. nobody can even fire him from a publicly trading corp.
What if he starts sending his AI clone to the board meetings and it votes to fire him and replace him with itself? :P
Wtf I love AI replacement dystopias now.

#49Meetings? That's not interesting. I'm working on replacing myself (or rather my body) after death in a ship of Theseus manner.

#50For artificial intelligence to replace oneself, it would need a digital copy of one's way of thinking. I believe this is impossible to implement with current AI.
Impossible is a strong word given our collective way of thinking has been reproduced with decent level of approximation.
