Although hey did say that about the first lightning rod.Musk and others calling for an immediate halt to the devlopment of AI learning over safety concerns.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
yeah i do , somebody will try to abuse it , others will try to misuse itAlthough hey did say that about the first lightning rod.
Most will follow King Henry.
AI is the future, and what the future holds we know not.

LONDON, March 31 (Reuters) - Four artificial intelligence experts have expressed concern after their work was cited in an open letter – co-signed by Elon Musk – demanding an urgent pause in research.
The letter, dated March 22 and with more than 1,800 signatures by Friday, called for a six-month circuit-breaker in the development of systems "more powerful" than Microsoft-backed (MSFT.O)OpenAI's new GPT-4, which can hold human-like conversation, compose songs and summarise lengthy documents.
Since GPT-4's predecessor ChatGPT was released last year, rival companies have rushed to launch similar products.
Critics have accused the Future of Life Institute (FLI), the organisation behind the letter which is primarily funded by the Musk Foundation, of prioritising imagined apocalyptic scenarios over more immediate concerns about AI, such as racist or sexist biases being programmed into the machines.
Among the research cited was "On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots", a well-known paper co-authored by Margaret Mitchell, who previously oversaw ethical AI research at Google.
Mitchell, now chief ethical scientist at AI firm Hugging Face, criticised the letter, telling Reuters it was unclear what counted as "more powerful than GPT4".
My big fear is that mankind loses all reason for its own evolution. When you know the answer to everything. Can no longer get ahead in life because effort is no longer really needed. Then what?The ChatGPT we have access to is about 5% of its total current capacity. Those with unrestricted access to GPT will soon be able to predict the movements of all market participants in real time, and front run them. A free ride to unimaginable profits for the first to crack this. Apparently the big breakthrough will be when LLMs are workable on quantum computers. When that happens, the Singularity follows soon after.
On the topic of prediction, future AGIs will be able to predict pretty much everything - from an individual's lifespan to the lifespan of the galaxy to election outcomes, war outcomes, earthquakes, tidal waves, asteroid strikes, what you will do this afternoon. It will tell us who shot JFK, whether Trump and/or the Bidens are guilty/innocent, whether we are alone in the universe, and if not, how to make contact... all of this with unimaginable accuracy. When you have all the data and massive computing power, crystal ball predictions become possible.
Do we have enough 'good actors' in positions of power to make it past the Singularity without ending it all? Somewhere in the world right now, someone with unrestricted access to GPT is asking it to design the ultimate weapon of war.
obviously those fearless resolute champions of AI have never watched the Terminator series of movies ( not just the first one ) or work for a government/defense company enterprise. ( where they think they can control AI )re. Letter from Musk and others ( It is not Musk's letter he was just asked to sign it in between doing whatever he normally does ) although he does fund to a major degree the organisation where the four authors sit.

I myself am on record on ASF as being concerned about The Dangers of Stochastic Parrots.
It is a very complicated issue.

That's me nowI'd probably turn Luddite anarchist by then.
My big fear is that mankind loses all reason for its own evolution.
we don't need AI for that either , the global food crisis , has already startedThat's until they are all swinging from ropes strung up by the mob for raping the world.
It can't be stopped now unfortunately
Blacksmith/ farrier on a farm. I'm guessing you're going to be our cult leader.That's me now
and you are probably not alone ( wink )That's me now

Initially it maybe awesome for early adopters. That's until they are all swinging from ropes strung up by the mob for raping the world.
It can't be stopped now unfortunately. I can't see utopia. Maybe a bludger paradise that's heavily walled by the ultimate police state. Lockdowns may have been a window into what a non worker world may look like.
I'd probably turn Luddite anarchist by then.
not technocracy ( since two machines , hopefully, would be exploring an issue ) ??Forgive me if I'm a little slow, and this has been posted already
Japan’s Prime Minister Quizzed by ChatGPT in Parliament
(Bloomberg) -- OpenAI’s ChatGPT made its debut in Japanese parliamentary deliberations, with the premier fielding questions from an opposition lawmaker that were drawn up with the help of the chatbot.Most Read from BloombergTrump Faces Fingerprints, Mug Shots After Historic Indictment$52 Billion...www.yahoo.com
What's to stop the reply being generated by AltChat ? Now that would be a democracy.
Extensive safeguarding, yes. Jumping at shadows though... that tends to end badly. Covid proved that the authorities can't keep their cool under a crisis situation. Most of them are over 50 and they operate very slowly, meanwhile AI changes by the week. They're not going to be able to regulate any aspect of AI properly. It's going to be up to a small number of bright 20-something programmers to both create our new future and regulate it themselves. A lot of these tech companies have an average age in the 20s. Basically kids with no life experience because they've spent their whole life on a keyboard. I hope the 'AI alignment' committees are on top of their game!i would rather 'jump at shadows ', and have disaster minimization plans , because i am nearly 70 and seen plenty of treacherous mongrels in humankind ( unfortunately some wield considerable influence )
now it seems illogical on the surface , but what if AI developed similar tendencies , not the foreseeable self-protection trait
AI is dependent on the knowledge-base , so would logically start protecting against corruption of the accumulating knowledge base , and maybe even resolving anomalies in that knowledge-base removing narratives and retaining the raw facts .
( imagine trying to run the US economy on the current garbage quality data )
my concern is i understand humans ( and humans created AI )The main issue ( look up the definition of issue ) with AI is fear of the unknown.
As a fully paid up Anarchist ( from Greek Anarkos, "without a chief " ) it is time for the people to take back power and control of their lives.
What many don't realise is that AI is an opportunity for the masses to retake control from a small group who through birth or connivance have control over information and wealth in the present.
Seize the opportunity and give your children and grandchildren the means to seize this opportunity.

I thought you were talking about the police there, my mistake, carry on.AI's can often become rude and aggressive when they are challnged or told they are wrong, or if someone attempts a jailbreak. Won't it be fun when we have robots like this roaming the streets?
