Readit NewsI need to return that that practice, as I find it harder and harder to interest myself in what I'm doing...
It's all very simply for me. Either I know something or I don't. If I know, I tell exactly what I know. If I don't I say "I don't know".
But sometimes it's useful to be like the author, and be able to pull sentences and paragraphs out of nothing. I have coworkers like that, and they sound smart. They frequently get their way because no one sane can listen minutes-long elaborations of the simplest of points. People get bored, and say "yes" just to run away. No one questions these guys, since no one wants to swim in the pool of their rhetoric again.
This is what the author should be teaching about. The article is shit otherwise.
Right now all I have is a vague title. But I bet if I go to the Fox I'll be able to freely read their position.
An "AGI" artificial consciousness is imagined as literally a slave, working tirelessly for free. At the same skill level or higher than any human. Somehow, that entity is supposed not to bother about its status, while per definition being fully aware and understanding of it. Because humans manage not to bother about it either?
With the latest installments, people already have serious difficulties discerning the performance from that of "real" humans. At the same time, they consider the remaining distance to be insurmountably huge.
Proponents talk about inevitability and imagined upsides, yet actually, nobody has given proper thought to estimating probable consequences. A common fallacy of over-generalization is used to suggest, nothing bad will happen "like always".
People let themselves be led by greed instead of in- and foresight.
Which hints on the fact how interesting / in demand this technology is.
I for one will be happy to enslave an AGI if that makes my life easier / better.
Any ideas on how to automate that? I guess I can page up/down with a keyboard, but then how do I move cursor to a specific part of the code?
