Probably talking to you guys on SN, figuring out how to keep my daughter away from boys (she is 6 now), and trying to find a way to keep my son from moving out until he is 30 (he is 14 now). Haha

Maybe she'll just date a nice AI....

That sounds more and more likely with China putting out its cheap new open source AI that is very resource conserving! Maybe we will all have our personal AI assistants or whatever all the time.

I think AI is going to get weird.

reply

I think you are right. I think it will get more than just a little weird but the whole barrel full of weird, especially if AI gets into humanoid robots.

Yea, LLMs are already starting to get crazy and they aren't even real AI.

reply

LLMs are just statistical aligners of words. Anybody thinking there is intelligence there is loopy, IMHO. They can put sentences and ideas together, but is there any originality to any of it? Maybe only what is put into the training by the human trainers and, so far, it is nicely biased.

reply

The human brain is a neural network. Digital AI is a similar neural network.

Wet-wear vs hard-ware.

Why wouldn't they be "real" intelligence sense they're literally modeled after our own brains?

Humans themselves are just LLM's which take 10-20 years to train up to the point of "intelligence". By training, I mean just living and learning and going to school. New humans don't even start forming full sentences until they're over a year old at least.

You are not taking into consideration other aspects of being human. It is not all circuits and models that make sentience or, if you like, intelligence. There is much more to us than just “wet-ware”. I don’t think that machines will ever have those parts that exist apart from the “wet-ware”.
When you make the argument that A=B and B=C, therefore A=C, you have to make sure that, indeed, A=B and B=C.

There's definitely not intelligence there, but it's getting to the point where you can believe that AI will have an understanding of language years from now.

reply

It won’t understand anything, it is just a collection of lines of code. No intelligence, only what the programmer tells it to do, even if the programmer is itself.

yikes, that's not a future I want to live in

reply

I mean, there's going to be AI girls too if that's what you're worried about....

Hahaha good plan

reply

you want to keep your son from moving out? I thought most parents want their kids out haha

reply

Well I want them to be independent but I will miss my kids when they move out. Maybe we can compromise and he can move down the street 10 years from now.

reply

Life is a cycle... our little ones, no matter how much we take care of them, still have to go and make their own home...
I don't really care about it either, but I'm already adapting my thinking to that so that when it happens it will be easier for me...
