One advantage of having no infrastructure is you can leapfrog old technologies. We’ve seen this with countries that had no copper telephone wires everywhere, they moved straight to cellular technology.
The word of the day is “technofeudalism”
I got that reference!
We already have military planes that go pretty close to that, and missiles go at Mach 20 so we have the technology
Reminds me of R2D2
Reminds me of the grains of rice on a chessboard doubling each square. The end result suprised the king and the time horizons of these things is going to suprise humanity.
These agents use automated feedback to iteratively generate, evaluate, and refine hypotheses, resulting in a self-improving cycle of increasingly high-quality and novel outputs.
So they are going to point this thing at the AI codebase right? Right?
It’s a race to see what kills us first, Climate Change or AI.
My bet is on AI, mostly because the time horizon is a bit closer
There is a tsunami coming and not many people can see it. The worse part, is the people in charge are not the ones to roll out UBI. In fact, they are more likely to remove benefits.
Prof Eliot Jacobson has the decadal increase at 0.32°C/Decade, which given we are at 1.5°C now means ~2.5°C around 2050 and ~4°C by 2100
However, he also thinks the trend isn’t linear and is quadratic, meaning an increasing rate of change, so that 4°C could be low

We’ve found oxygen, but hard to say it’s life

We’ve been geoengineering for some time without knowing it. That geoengineering project has masked atmospheric heating. Now we have to pay the piper
The video is hilarious. But soon these scammers will be replaced by AI, then we’ll have AI’s trying to scam AI’s…
How many local TPU’s do you need to run these latest models locally?
The fact that stories like this are breaking into mainstream media just shows how much effect they will have on the world
Not a small amount of money.
Rational Animations has an excellent video on trust here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUkHhVYv3jU
Capitalism will fix this (bizarrely). Making AI more efficent (read more profitable) is on LOTS of peoples minds right now.
Whether it’s more efficent chips, better algorithms or whatever, rest assured, LOTS of effort is going into it.
Our environment will still be destroyed, but it won’t be AI that does it, just boring greed
In the real world, it depends on if humans are available to do the tutoring. Even if human tutors are better than AI, AI is better than no tutor.
This is crazy:
