About:

This sublemmy is a place for sharing news and discussions about artificial intelligence, core developments of humanity's technology and societal changes that come with them. Basically futurology sublemmy centered around ai but not limited to ai only.

Rules:
  1. Posts that don't follow the rules and don't comply with them after being pointed out that they break the rules will be deleted no matter how much engagement they got and then reposted by me in a way that follows the rules. I'm going to wait for max 2 days for the poster to comply with the rules before I decide to do this.
  2. No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
  3. Keep posts on topic.
  4. Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  5. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  6. Memes are fine as long they are quality or/and can lead to serious on topic discussions. If we end up having too much memes we will do meme specific singularity sublemmy.
  7. Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
  8. Please be respectful to each other.
  9. No summaries made by LLMs. I would like to keep quality of comments as high as possible.
  10. (Rule implemented 30.06.2023) Don't make posts with link/s to tweets as their main focus. Melon decided that the content on the platform is going to be locked behind login requirement and I'm not going to force everyone to make a twitter account just so they can see some news.
  11. No ai generated images/videos unless their role is to represent new advancements in generative technology which are not older that 1 month.
  12. If the title of the post isn't an original title of the article or paper then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format "Original title: {title here}".
  13. Please be respectful to each other.

Note:

My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.

Joscha Bach believes that AGI is inevitable because it will emerge from civilization, not individuals. Given our biological constraints, humans cannot achieve a high level of general intelligence on our own. Civilization evolves over generations to determine meaning, truth, and ethics. AI may follow a similar path, developing general intelligence through a process of cultural evoution.

Bach thinks AGI may become integrated into all parts of the world, including human minds and bodies. He believes a future where humans and AGI harmoniously coexist is possible if we develop a shared purpose and incentive to align.

Bach also believes that the alignment problem is less of a problem than we think. He argues that the alignment problem is not unique to AI and that it is a fundamental problem of civilization.

Text above created with the help of BingChat (gpt-4). I watched the whole discussion and agree with the created summary.

Leahy on the other hand was in my opinion far to alarmist and unhinged, he kept saying that he was pragmatic or practical, and then he said philosophy and category theory are groundless to his work but he enjoyed using it in arguments anyways. All while cursing and saying "I don't want to die I don't my mom to die I don't want Joscha to die". I also got the impression that he didn´t understand Joschas arguments. At the same time I didn´t understand his fear ridden arguments.
