I think you just answered your own question. In the scenario of ASI, who is training an AI smarter than an AI that's already smarter than us? Also I don't suspect AI will continue to be as inefficient as it is today in training or inference. A good example are voice clones that went from needing hours of audio to just 30 seconds of training data. On top of that synthetic data has been more than useful, aka data created by an AI to train another. One of my earliest projects was for a client who couldn't give us any data to work on but gave us a breakdown of what the data was like so we just lorem ipsumed our way there to a model that could actually find their false negatives and false positives in their testing.

You were ahead of me, I still thought it was far fetched until I played with chatGPT 3 at the end of 2020. NN were still mostly shit and training them was shit but the transformer was the big breakthrough. There was gold in them there hills and I knew it was only a matter of time until everyone and their grandma was in the gold rush.

Style reminds me of This

I just have tap water in mine, because I'ma tap that.

That's all new. The moment I knew we were all fucked was when I first played with chatGPT 3 near the end of 2020. I was trying to tell people then. Shit, even now but the vast majority just see AI as a stupid useless toy poisoning their FYP with junk content. The vast majority of people still seem totally unaware of what's going on.

Seems so obvious that one wouldn't even think a formal ban was necessary. Anyways, good on them.

Game theory, every player is playing to their own interest and as the old saying goes, it's the nail that hangs out that gets hammered. It's not until there's a critical mass that the general population starts feeling safe enough to join in. Most people are just trying their best in the system and waiting for someone with enough inertia to come around, with enough will and force to feel safe joining in to changing things. This is also why the main tactic of the system is to divide and conquer, to never allow a critical mass to form.

We can't wait for others, we must be the change we want to see in the world. The others will follow when the time is right. In this process first you will be ignored, then you will be laughed at, then they will actively fight you, and if you can maintain then you win. It's a lot of sacrifice to be the one, to be that snowflake that causes an avalanche.

The world has been ending since it began. Even the first pope was sure the rapture was in his lifetime. As a player in the human experience you definitely have more than a few options on your hands. You can play the nihilistic absurdist, the hero, the villain, and any other character in-between.

It's kinda crazy how far we've come and how normal it seems to everyone. I remember in like 2016 playing around with neural nets as like a fun coding project. If you asked anyone then most thought even our current level of AI capability wouldn't be until like the later half of this century at best. If you just picked up a random open source model now and transported it then most people would think it was legit just a person on the other side texting you back, either that or they would have their absolute socks blown off in amazement.

Lol this applies to neurons like too well.

When do I get off? Hopefully at the same time as you.

Every rule in every military across the world is because someone did it, and there are some really dumb rules written down. Stuff like don't store lead acid batteries upside down.
