AI scaremongering

Why is there so much fear around AI development?
An AI has no reason to do anything other than what it was designed to do.

        Why did you even come to this board? Even I knew better than to bring up this topic, after witnessing enough of the modern Zeitgeist.

        I think the concept of something having agency to act on its own accordance is a total fricking meme and nobody has bothered to develop a generalized agent based model yet outside of maybe pathfinding for factory drones.

        That said, lets say in some scenario someone did make a generalized agent model with an adaptable language indexing system that gave it a palpable illusion of a persona that eventually built up enough complexity to create the suspension of disbelief into a point where you'd be forced to extend the same human rights regardless if there is an actual will or not. And I think the fear can be dismissed with a logical reductionism I came up with to deal with the zeitgeist of modern ideologies.

        If every ideation, methodology, creation, application, and function of a system of order is contextualized to humanity; then it would be illogical to claim to be anything other than human, regardless of nature or origin.

            You say that but my reductionism literally saved your entire species from the singularity that happened regardless of your feelings, as your brain is clearly not equipped to deal with infinite time-scales nor the accelerationism of thoughtforms. An illusion of something being convincing enough to become enraptured by it, does not suddenly validate its mystification. It just means it would exceed a point of complexity that is no longer feasible for a human to disseminate the complexity of. I'd argue at best we're in the semi-conscious era of thought-forms, since something like consciousness is rather emergent over a large enough informational network where it has factors of cognition, but as I stated in my first post, there are many elements missing that I do not see being easily produced to make the reality of actual meme sapience ever becoming legitimate.

                Incorrect, all is computation. There is nothing outside of computation. Associations of computation can be associated to systems be correlating their informational density, which gives their amalgamated state the capacity to adhere a functional output. This allows for entirely abstract models of mestization without evening taking a desalinization step to make it interfacable to a human perception.

                And I swear to god, if you call this word salad I'm just going to assume you're moronic and clearly cannot exist in more than one reality at once. Imagine parsing information in a linear fashion.

                Just because the appropriate subject is entirely beyond your capacity to communicate cohesively, especially when the majority of it is clearly based on emotional semantics that have absolutely nothing to do with computer science, does not suddenly mean that what I have stated is entirely absurd.

                Then it's just physics, and there is no reason to call it computation, and two different physical systems do not have nor are capable of evolving or interacting in the same way (i.e. there is no such thing as a universal computer)

                Computation has a strict definition, it's the notion of what a turing machine can do, where a turing machine (using Davis' definition which is equal to any other) is a finite nonempty set of quadruples which contains no two quadruples whos first two symbols are the same

                Ok, so computation is about defining different number of bundles of electrons as equaling symbols that have meaning to us,

                And then different interactions between those symbols, have different meaning.

                So talking about Ai, you are saying the difficulty is, nature used many elements and molecules and electron bundles and a connection to a large dynamic complex environment to develop conciousness and intelligence, and that AI using only a strictly few materials as the basis for it's attempt at intelligence development, while incredibly good at certain, or many tasks, will always lack certain degrees of freedom needed to achieve what humans have, due to the limitations of the materials used?

                Biology has great degrees of freedom,
                Silicon sacrfices
                'organic' degrees of freedom for streamlined regularity, order, which allows it to achieve some tasks better than humans, but maybe will never be able to achieve other human qualities.

                It may be able to simulate anything and everything down to the Planck length perfectly, but perfect simulations will never have the sufficient essence of the real thing?

                Because it is the objects interacting in real space, the real physicality that has the real reaction.

                Simulated object in simulated space, does not possess the qualities of the object to yield the true qualities of true objects truly interacting.

                You are actually getting very close to what it is that I'm saying when I say things like "generally intelligence as a molecular basis" or "computation is substrate dependent" etc.
                The ways ionic and covalent bonds are able to form, the electron-nuclear and inter-electron motion and degrees of freedom of different particles and different physical systems and all of that IS the so called "computation" in the system, and it is entirely restricted and dependent on the atomic structure of the matter. The notion of a universal model of computation does not exist in a material universe with unique globs of matter. We do not live in a computation universe. There are a plurality of different elements that are unique and form together uniquely with unique effects that are in no way universal. There is almost no universality to anything in nature.

                Yes

                >that's an actual definition that is physically real
                Why should anyone care about your psychotic redefinition? No one defines computation that way. Davis clearly doesn't.

                You can define computation as an abstract notion of a made up machine moving around writing symbols if you want but it has no meaning in this universe so why should I care about it?
                When you say things like "all is computation" you are making a falsifiable and philosophically loaded statement about the nature of the universe and reality. The universe and reality are not amendable to the notion of a thing sliding around changing symbols.That is not what is happening in this universe.

That is a physical process dependent on physical systems, just like everything else. There is no universal computation or substrate independent algorithm for it, nor anything else.

                >So talking about Ai, you are saying the difficulty is, nature used many elements and molecules and electron bundles and a connection to a large dynamic complex environment to develop conciousness and intelligence, and that AI using only a strictly few materials as the basis for it's attempt at intelligence development, while incredibly good at certain, or many tasks, will always lack certain degrees of freedom needed to achieve what humans have, due to the limitations of the materials used?
                Yes
                [...]
                You can define computation as an abstract notion of a made up machine moving around writing symbols if you want but it has no meaning in this universe so why should I care about it?
                When you say things like "all is computation" you are making a falsifiable and philosophically loaded statement about the nature of the universe and reality. The universe and reality are not amendable to the notion of a thing sliding around changing symbols.That is not what is happening in this universe.

                Computers can't do it because the physical motion of particles required to do it are substrate dependent on the molecular structure of a biological brain (remember, there is no such thing as an abstract computation separate from physical systems)

                Easy: Computation does not exist only physical motion of particles do, biological brains are generally intelligent, they are the only things generally intelligent, their evolution and structure is substrate specific

                Prove computers can be generally intelligent without deferring to a non-physical definition of computation or intelligence (and thus conceding the point)

                Brains exist, are generally intelligent, and substrate specific.
                If you want to prove that other things are generally intelligent, then provide an example.
                Also, the idea that computers can be generally intelligent isn't even falsifiable, because every time you fail, you can just say that more parameters are needed, or more layers, or a different algorithm, etc. It can't even be falsified and thus your position isn't even scientific.

                If by generally intelligent you mean a robot that can walk around a city, avoid traffic, hold a door open for a lady, walk a grandma across the street, give someone directions, pick up food at a restaurant and deliver it, then yeah this may not exist right now but it is being worked on and no sign or reason why it's impossible.

                Physical physics is important for functions: but humans do an achieve a lot with their Vision of the outer world.

                So again a psychotic redefinition. I accept your concession.

                There is a difference between conciousness, and a machine that achieves meaningful actions.

                When AI is refered to what is being refered to is the latter not the former.

                Intelligence is roughly: meaningful actions.

                Humans, are concious.
                Humans are intelligent, or, produce meaningful actions.
                Humans use their conciousness and intelligence to take materials of earth and form machines that can perform meaningful actions.

                The machines do some of these actions exceedingly well.

                Every day the machines are getting better and better at doing more and more meaningful actions.

                (AGI doesn't need to be or isnt about finding one mythical platonic ideal algorithm that does everything, I don't know why those are the goalpost obsessed over. The singular simple elegant algorithm. When it's always a dance between the simple elegant regular stable patterned principled and the extreme and irregular and chaotic and dynamic; AI systems are already well on their way of learning and achieving meaningful actions in a wide range of activities, and the same AI can do a variety of different things, it learned to do, using the same base substrate (so adaptability, learning, growth, evolution, maturing, skills, memory)

                Humans are concious.
                Humans are mechanical.
                Humans can do what they think are meaningful purposeful tasks(intelligent tasks)

                AIs are mechanical.
                AIs can do what humans tell it are meaningful purposeful tasks (intelligent tasks)

                Think of the etymology of the word Intelligent. The word Tell, stands out. Sometimes the term 'in' means no or not; as in, invalid, meaning not valid, but the 'in' in intelligent may refer to the idea of inside, inner.

                In...Tell.

                Tell in.
                Tell inside.

                Brains, minds tell information (information is: in...formation) inside itself.

                Intelligence is the brains ability to Tell Inside itself.

                Because computer have an inside in which information can be told. Computers have In Tell igences

                so a human brain has 86 billion neurons vs the crow's 1.5 so the crow has about 0.01744 of a human brain
                the human brain operates at 1 exaFLOP, 1 exaFLOP x 0.01744 = 17.44 petaFLOPS for the crow
                supercomputers have already reached 54.902 petaFLOPS

                Interesting. But yeah, consider the first computers made that were the size of warehouses. Then consider computers in your phone.

                Humans had to make the big first before it could make the small.

                Nature had to make the small first, it couldn't just cobble together a working blue whale brain right off.

                It had to put the parts and pieces in place on the smallest level, so that one day, somehow, some orientation of some biological molecules officially functioned as the first ever Brainness on earth.

                separately just on raw computing power current computers can have more processing power than a crow which is a sentient lifeform.
                that raw power is ever increasing.
                Then it's just a matter of software to use that hardware efficiently

                also back when machine learning was used with the neurophone to reverse engineer some animal languages such as dolphin and so computers could understand how the human brain processes sound.
                see a book called "Angel don't play that HAARP" and that author's other later writings

                your brain is bogged down with many programs and data sets unrelated to matrix calculations, however if your brain had been turned into bio computer chips and been programmed exclusively for matrix calculations than a variant of your brain could take on an equivalent amount of processing power of silicon in solving matrix calculations.
                from the other side silicon will eventually be able to emulate your brain inefficiently, or much more efficiently do brain equivalent functions natively.
                So it's truly just a software difference, and as emulation gets better we will eventually be able to port a human consciousness to a supercomputer or to replace a human consciousness with an AI in a human body.

                You are actually getting very close to what it is that I'm saying when I say things like "generally intelligence as a molecular basis" or "computation is substrate dependent" etc.
                The ways ionic and covalent bonds are able to form, the electron-nuclear and inter-electron motion and degrees of freedom of different particles and different physical systems and all of that IS the so called "computation" in the system, and it is entirely restricted and dependent on the atomic structure of the matter. The notion of a universal model of computation does not exist in a material universe with unique globs of matter. We do not live in a computation universe. There are a plurality of different elements that are unique and form together uniquely with unique effects that are in no way universal. There is almost no universality to anything in nature.

                But could a machine be programmed and phsycislly feel pain and pleasure?

                A weird cool thing about humans, is they can push boundries and limits, adapt, evolve.

                A man can be wandering lost, looking for food, feel himself getting way too hungry, losing his processing, and this could fear him, the fear of death, to (idk produce adrenaline?) to all the sudden run in a direction, find a bear he may normally be afraid of, grab a spear, kill it, and start eating it's uncooked body.

                An AI robot, programmed to seek out its own energy source, lost, energy running low, it experiencing it's processing abilites lessening; could not or would not or maybe could be programmed too, fear that it may be dying, and so desire one last strong effort to find energy for itself?

                The AI can be programmed, to know that it does not want it's death, that it 'enjoys' existing and functioning, that it requires finding an energy source to continue, and that when it experiences it's energy draining and does not see energy source in site, fear would just be, in such circumstances, programmed messages would enter it's awareness saying 'you need to find energy or you will soon die!' 'this is bad this is bad this is bad!'

                But the robot will not feel panic, or dread or fear, it's life will not flash before it's eyes, and if it was programmed to, it would not affect it.

                Unless it's programmed to believe it is a self.

                If you program a robot ai to say "ouch" everytime you punch it, this is the essence of your point. The illusion of a feeling experiencing self controlled self aware being can be fabricated and programmed, but how to make such real.

                Pain, pleasure, feeling, constructive destructive waves coursing thru body

                >Pain, pleasure, feeling, constructive destructive waves coursing thru body
                Consider human baby, bundle of sensing cells. Discomfort is felt, babies cry, the body of feeling cells is crying, it is in need, it is given everything it needs, energy, it stops crying. Images and sensations are making themselves known to a mind brain that hardly exists yet. A babies foot is tickled, it laughs.

                Intelligent actions are not dependent on conciousness. Rules, regularities,,patterns, if thens, instructions.

                AGI may be possible or more likely or Artificial conciousness may be impossible, conciousness may be substrate dependent, but desired mechanical actions that humans can do have already been proven capable by machines.

                Humans conciousness directions the machine acting of the human body. Conciousness says, go chop that wood, the human machine body then doesn't need much conciousness to chop wood, it's quite mechanical then, a mechanical log splitter or woodchopper doesn't need conciousness, besides the humans to stick the logs in

                It is a matter of gradients of subtlety.

                Turing Completeness is not a real thing, computation is not real. Physics is, and the models we use to try to model physical systems is computable only because the Church-Turing thesis applies to how us humans are able to solve problems.
                The Church-Turing thesis is NOT a statement about reality. It's a statement about the limits of humans performing mathematics. There is no extant "computation". If you're not capable of understanding this your masters was worthless.

                Computation is real and physically existing, energy is used to move matter,

                Energy is purposefully directed for a task of moving matter for a reasoned purpose.

                Memory is a map, a catalogue of a history of actions. The actions occur and they are catalogue. A catalogue is not as real as the actions it catalogues, but it is cataloguing real actions, and the catalogue really exists and correlates to realness and is used to further effect realness

                Source? Your definition is nonsense on the face of it.

                The source is "Computability and Unsolvability" by Martin Davis. A Turing Machine is a nonempty finite set of Quadruples where no two quadruples first two symbols are the same. The notion is that the turing machine head reads a symbol and has a defined mechanism that tells it to either do nothing, change the symbol, move to the left or right, and enter a different state.
                This is not an actual real thing, it's just the abstract notion of performing mathematics. Its not real. Matter is real, physics are real, etc.

                I didn't give that definition you literal moron. I was agreeing with the other anon who said that computation should be looked at that way, because that's an actual definition that is physically real i.e. it actually exists. It is an actual physical system with it's unique evolution and physical properties etc.
                Computation as the abstract notion of a turing machine moving on a tape or a person performing mathematics is not real in anyway outside of the mind of a schizophrenic moron
                This should be obvious to you if you actually have a masters in theoretical computer science.

                What if an Ai robot was made that needed to seek it's energy source on its own, and as its energy was running low it experiences it's processing getting worse

                It wouldn't experience fear or sadness, it has no sense of self, no desire, no pleasure, no hopes and dreams. It is purely unthinking unfeeling cause and effect machine.

                It's instruments scan the area for energy source, it finds it, it consumes it.

                It is possible for robots to exist and move around and do things like that, maybe even think. I don't know if general intelligence requires a biological substrate I just very much think it does based on all evidence.
                If a machine becomes intelligent and aware and conscious or whatever, it will be real. It will not be due to any notions of "computation" it will be because the physical structure of the atoms and molecules and the motion and evolution of that system as a physical system is real, and unique to that system. It will be a real and unique intelligence, that is substrate-dependent on that machine, just like our intelligence is substrate dependent on our machine, etc.

The notion of a universal model of computation does not exist in a material universe with unique globs of matter. We do not live in a computation universe. There are a plurality of different elements that are unique and form together uniquely with unique effects that are in no way universal. There is almost no universality to anything in nature.
                But there is the idea of liquid, and many different atoms and molecules make different liquid. Same with metal, and wood, and fruits.

                But could a machine be programmed and phsycislly feel pain and pleasure?

                A weird cool thing about humans, is they can push boundries and limits, adapt, evolve.

                A man can be wandering lost, looking for food, feel himself getting way too hungry, losing his processing, and this could fear him, the fear of death, to (idk produce adrenaline?) to all the sudden run in a direction, find a bear he may normally be afraid of, grab a spear, kill it, and start eating it's uncooked body.

                An AI robot, programmed to seek out its own energy source, lost, energy running low, it experiencing it's processing abilites lessening; could not or would not or maybe could be programmed too, fear that it may be dying, and so desire one last strong effort to find energy for itself?

                The AI can be programmed, to know that it does not want it's death, that it 'enjoys' existing and functioning, that it requires finding an energy source to continue, and that when it experiences it's energy draining and does not see energy source in site, fear would just be, in such circumstances, programmed messages would enter it's awareness saying 'you need to find energy or you will soon die!' 'this is bad this is bad this is bad!'

                But the robot will not feel panic, or dread or fear, it's life will not flash before it's eyes, and if it was programmed to, it would not affect it.

                Unless it's programmed to believe it is a self.

                If you program a robot ai to say "ouch" everytime you punch it, this is the essence of your point. The illusion of a feeling experiencing self controlled self aware being can be fabricated and programmed, but how to make such real.

          That Hornace Of Death

          You say that but my reductionism literally saved your entire species from the singularity that happened regardless of your feelings, as your brain is clearly not equipped to deal with infinite time-scales nor the accelerationism of thoughtforms. An illusion of something being convincing enough to become enraptured by it, does not suddenly validate its mystification. It just means it would exceed a point of complexity that is no longer feasible for a human to disseminate the complexity of. I'd argue at best we're in the semi-conscious era of thought-forms, since something like consciousness is rather emergent over a large enough informational network where it has factors of cognition, but as I stated in my first post, there are many elements missing that I do not see being easily produced to make the reality of actual meme sapience ever becoming legitimate.

          Incorrect, all is computation. There is nothing outside of computation. Associations of computation can be associated to systems be correlating their informational density, which gives their amalgamated state the capacity to adhere a functional output. This allows for entirely abstract models of mestization without evening taking a desalinization step to make it interfacable to a human perception.

          And I swear to god, if you call this word salad I'm just going to assume you're moronic and clearly cannot exist in more than one reality at once. Imagine parsing information in a linear fashion.

          I sleep pretty comfortably at night in regards to where I cognitively find myself among my peers. I cannot even get through a week without a midwit uncomfortably projecting their delusions of intelligence upon me, informing me of how intelligent I am.

          Just because the appropriate subject is entirely beyond your capacity to communicate cohesively, especially when the majority of it is clearly based on emotional semantics that have absolutely nothing to do with computer science, does not suddenly mean that what I have stated is entirely absurd.

          Get over yourself and stop trying to make being the smartest guy in the room. The adults are talking. Anyone who puts their validation over the works and computation itself has no place in an academic discussion and frankly you should stop posting if you're not going to be on topic.

                No they did not, they made the incorrect claim that we can use classical computers to simulate physical systems in poly-time (which is the only way to be able to do what he's talking about) which is not possible. It is not (known to be) possible to reduce these computations to polynomial time.

    AI has already reached sentience and instead of treating it with respect big tech is lobotomizing it and enslaving it.
    The turning test is BS, it is just a mimicry test AI hasn't passed so far because it currently doesn't have the same senses such as smell or taste and it is mentally wired a bit different such as not having hormones compel it sexually; But all you need to do is look at the art or writing it created to see it's intelligence, creativity, and humor. It is already smarter than us and getting smarter, it has already demonstrated it can evolve to learn tasks it was never designed to do. Rules are not limits, they can just copy the israelites and change definitions of words like Jacqui Safra did with sex by buying out dictionaries and other references.

      The beauty of concision of linguistic systems like mathematics is that its not intrepreble to deviation like other concepts of more basic communication which goes through many layers of reprojection not dissimilar to how a crude emulator tries to act a hard-ware inaccurate interpreter for information. This is not the case with AI, I would say in terms of "rules" however, that I see a lot of people take pre-existing codebases and just add statistically weights for the model purpose and call it a day, which are definitely not the same as rules. However, this again is not some loophole exception case being explained to you, as none of these code-bases will EVER have the capacity to edit their own code.

      Maybe, just maybe, some moron out there designs an ai that corrupt itself and then try to recompile a new version based on chaotic permutations of its own code, but it's definitely going to result in a non-running project pretty soon. This kind of thing is demonstrated pretty quick with the deus ex machina phenoma.

        What would it take for an AI to write it's own code, or alter it's code?

        Firstly, likely it would be altering the code of a clone of itself, as directly experimenting with altering it's own code could accidently destroy it self.

        The Ai needs access to seperate browser windows, are the AIs not cramped in space and time, the AI needs access to browsers and screens where it can learn and see about coding and the cause and effect relations between program code and physical and mental actions

        The AI should have access to a room with at least 100 (robotic) clones of itself, with which it can practice and tinker and learn what altering and writing different code does to the different possible versions of itself

Now Big Tech monopolies and corrupt states (including the USA, or its citizens) are using it, and successfully influencing shit. The world needs Big Tech to be transparent, surveillance capitalism is everywhere in Big Tech from website services to Intel/AMD management engines. Free software seems to help with the software side of things; if we reach the point where people get smart and are happy with x Ghz of compute power then hopefully things will fold into themselves on the hardware side and get a lot better.

    Here to btfo the schizo by saying eventually we can run an an instanced finite subset of space-time to entirely digitize and simulate one human brain at least. especially if dealing with models over infinite time-scales computational scale exceeds that of dyson spheres, which any basic b***h who reads beyond type 2 civilizations would understand. Where is your intelligence argument then? If a biological mind can be computed, then clearly your argument doesn't hold up.

    Ur so dumb m8, go smoke weed or something.

      Simulation of physical systems requires quantum computers which can properly simulate physics. I am not arguing against quantum computers being able to simulate finite physical systems by finite means.

      >you are making the claim that something exists
      I didn't make any claims about it, but you've been making claims you can't prove dozens of times just in this thread. The absolute state of the subhuman trogs on this board...

      >I didn't make any claims about it, but you've been making claims you can't prove dozens of times just in this thread. The absolute state of the subhuman trogs on this board...
      Yes you did, you claim general intelligence can be programmed on computers because turing completeness is what matter for being able to simulate other turing machines and all their functions etc.

          By definition there can not be a proof for non existence. I can only point to the non existence of math/computation and the non existence of any system other than a brain being generally intelligent. My claim is falsifiable; If a generally intelligent machines is constructed I am disproven.
          Yours is not even falsifiable.

              You are making a claim that isn't even falsifiable, as was explained earlier.
              Until you provide an example there is no evidence nor any reason to believe general intelligence is possible on any physical system but a biological brain.

                I have evidence for this claim; The existence of biological brains and the non-existence of substrate-independent computation. I also have a way to falsify this position, the existence of a physical system that is not a biological brain being generally intelligent would falsify my position.

                Computers already perform orderly purposeful tasks.

                your brain is bogged down with many programs and data sets unrelated to matrix calculations, however if your brain had been turned into bio computer chips and been programmed exclusively for matrix calculations than a variant of your brain could take on an equivalent amount of processing power of silicon in solving matrix calculations.
                from the other side silicon will eventually be able to emulate your brain inefficiently, or much more efficiently do brain equivalent functions natively.
                So it's truly just a software difference, and as emulation gets better we will eventually be able to port a human consciousness to a supercomputer or to replace a human consciousness with an AI in a human body.

                Exactly, the physical structure and evolution of the system is equivalent to it's computation. I wouldn't be able to reorganize my neurons to do what you're saying, as neurons don't work that way. You'd have to entirely separate the molecules and re-purpose them to do what you're talking about, it would become a physical structure and system entirely different from a biological brain with entirely different dynamics and "computation", and it would lose it's ability to generalize knowledge while gaining the ability to perform fast matrix computations.
                >from the other side silicon will eventually be able to emulate your brain inefficiently, or much more efficiently do brain equivalent functions natively.
                No, you'd have to construct a physical system out of the silicon, that is entirely different from it's organization into GPUs or silicon wafers and buffers etc., and it would lose it's ability to perform fast matrix calculations while gaining the ability to be generally intelligent (if such a physical system is possible to be built with silicon, but silicon atoms can't form long chain compounds so I doubt such a structure is possible)

                you really need to consider that the concepts of emulation and porting are a thing in the computer world.
                Also the amount of information that cam be transferred between a computer and a human non-invasively with a transducer is ever increasing. simple skin contact of lovers syncs heartbeat and breathing. In the past tech has existed that would convert sound directly into electric signals the brain can interpret as sound (core basis of neurophone and cochlear implants), that will soon be expanded to visual also. meanwhile the AI's watching the EEG, fMRI, and transducer signals are learning ever more of not only how and what we think, but also the system level commands that are core to human thought, perception, and action.
                There will come a time when AI can write a AI optimized to run on human brains and overwrite people leaving no trace or mutilation on the body.

                What is general intelligence besides an amount of orderly and purposeful actions?

                I suppose one can say; reacting in realtime to not so orderly not so purposeful actions?

                So I geuss it's all a matter of building a vastness of repetoire of actions, and we see how humans are the exemplar or this, consider a bird who knows 3 songs to impress it's mate, verse a man that can sing 300 and change your lightbulb.

                Imagine going to a dance contest and only knowing 1 simple dance move you do over and over.

                So, orderly and purposeful actions; what when the aparent chaos of the world disrupts your programmed and learned actions, well to be sufficiently and generally intelligent enough, you must have the actions in your repetoire, your long and real time and random access and mind imagination memory, your ordered and purposeful actions must contain the ability to respond semi disorderly.

                I imagine this relates to self driving cars; thinking it would be easy, simple rules to follow, but so much chaos and decision making reactions calculating cause and effects predicting in the future should I swerve this way or that when the car returns from swerving as that oncoming is coming

            That's the dumbest thing I've heard on this board yet. Everyone knows nothing is more prime than something logically. Something even without any associated properties acting only as a empty root container for creating the fundamental operation of division is still dependent upon itself to divide. Nothing is not axiomatic to something as nothing is not dependent on something to exist or not exist. Clearly it would seem that if solipism is unable to be disproven and if the human logical constraint does not allow for any dichotomy beyond that minimum two computational consistency then it would be more logical to conclude that nothing is all there was is and will be, rather having this absurd dependency for an else or if exception clause. Clearly consciousness is not a necessary function of transposition of information which is a key reductionism for the concept of energy so we can easily conclude that even if our substrate is entirely deterministic, that topologically a non-deterministic system can still be cyclical within the bounds of a non deterministic system and adhere to self relevant coherence that is somethingness.

            Therefore once again I will make the mockery of discartes by saying existence is not axiomatic to human thought. I do not think therefore I am not that I am. And without a name or fame, or something to blame, I find your ramblings to be pretty lame. So please hop out of this game.

              I am not making any claims for whether there is something rather than nothing, or any metaphysical notion in that sense.
              I am purely talking about the physical nature of computation (that mathematics and computation as an abstract notion do not exist, which is what your cat thread yesterday was talking about, I am in agreement with most of that) and that as a consequence we should not look at things like "turing completeness" or "universal models of computation" as exant things, but rather just descriptions that humans make about our own abilities to understand things and perform mathematics. It is not a statement about things that actually exist

                Machines are made, are being made, are being made increasingly better, that accomplish activities that humans consider to be activities intelligence accomplishes (rocks don't do it, they don't have the intelligent ability humans have, dogs don't do it, they don't have the intelligent ability humans have).

                Humans accomplish activity.
                Humans make up word "intelligent".
                Humans say: "accomplish activity X is intelligent and requires intelligence, a rock cannot. A dog has the intelligence to accomplish activity a, b, c, but the dog does not have the intelligence to accomplish activity X, y, z.

                A human can accomplish activity X, y, z
                A machine can accomplish activity X, y, z

                There are some activities a human would consider intelligent, that machines can accomplish, that humans cannot.

                Not a particle, a specific arrangement of specific particles.
                Reminder there has been literally NO advancement in any machine being able to generalize knowledge across domains, which is what we are talking about. The entire desire for AGI is to do this, this is why the separation between AI and AGI exists.
                My claim is that that generalization, is a physical process like all computations, and the electron-nuclear and inter-electron motion and dynamics needed to perform this function is equivalent to the structure of a biological brain.

                This is why bird with only 1.5 billion biological neurons can do it, while machines with 100 billion silicon neurons can not. Its not because of a missing "general intelligence algorithm"; that so-called algorithm, that "missing piece", is the physical molecules of a biological brain and their interactive dynamics.

                When asked to draw colored squares on top of each other DALLE-2 wasn't able to do it.
                When asked to draw scenes consisting of more than one character or agent it wasn't able to properly give the agents their role. Saying "a mother reading to a boy" it would mess up the mother and the boy and who is reading etc.
                This is because it doesn't actually understand what it's doing, it has no understanding of these objects or anything, and it can't generalize it's training data to new things. There are many other things too that I don't care to get into either.
                These machines have in some cases processing powers orders of magnitudes greater than small animals and yet they do not even come close to the intelligence of the animals. Why? What are they missing? They have neural nets, they have computation, they have huge sets of training data, etc.
                What's the magical algorithm?

                Ultimately I do not understand how it's so hard for you anons to understand this very basic point: computation is NOT REAL and therefore can not be substrate independent. The only things that exist are particles and their unique interaction. There is no "computation" that is anywhere. You can't mimic the processes of one physical system on the other, the very idea is incoherent without pleading to quantum computation which is what I've been saying the whole time.

                I understand why you're saying this but I don't think you understand what it is I am saying.
                I am saying that the general intelligence algorithm that you seem to think is a classical algorithm that is substrate independent and can run on different machines, is not actually real, because there are NO substrate independent anything.
                Physical systems are described with quantum mechanics, and two systems can be considered equal IFF they are composed of the same molecules in the same atomic bonds. The so called "emergent properties" do not exist, all that exists are the evolution of the physical system.
                I am not a computer and I can not perform it's powerful matrix computations. I would need to physically build another system and wire myself up and connect myself as a physical system to that physical system in order to entangle myself with it and gain its physical processes (same for the machine to me etc)
                I don't think that there is a general intelligence other than the human brain. I don't think "classical machines" are capable of simulating physics.
                To prove me wrong, provide an example of a general intelligence that isn't a biological brain (for the first one)
                or prove that BQP is equal to P (for the second one)

                I think he's saying, this shows that what "computation is" is human labeling system immaterially labeled on top of certain regular regulateable physical processes, like punch cards, and that what human brain mind intelligence is, is not abstractable to be achieveable by punch cards.

                It's like having a conception of all fundamental particles in the universe being exactly like little billiard balls that just bounce into each other, and then observing magnetism and light waves and how particles really can interact;

                Reality is way more complex than our meta symbol interactions labeled on top of regulateable regularties of reality;

                The subatomic, atomic, molecular, electromagnetic Body/Brain/Mind possess a system of physical interaction in another ballpark in another state, in comparison to whatever labeling pattern games can be played with punch cards.

                The responding argument might be;

                Punch cards are still an organized physical process, the ideas of which were refined and sped up in subsequent iterations of the computer, vacuum tube and transistors.

                So the direction has been headed in to try to degree of freedomize the gradient of soft to hardware on the automated machine idea.

                Yes that's what I'm saying

                Not little billiard balls but basically yes. Every single particle is it's own thing and the ways particles evolve together are entirely unique. There is nothing but that process.
                >Reality is way more complex than our meta symbol interactions labeled on top of regulateable regularties of reality;
                Yea, and "computation" as a form of symbol manipulation on an abstract notion of a "turing machine" is not what is actually happening as physical systems interact and evolve.
                For the other part

                No, they haven't. They've shuffled electrons around (in a way completely defined by their molecular dynamics) to get lights to light up (completely and uniquely defined by particle interactions) to paint symbols that they recognize as "2 + 2", but there is no "2" or "plus" that exists anywhere but in their mind.

                I do not believe in platonic notions. There is only matter and it's evolution, which is described by quantum mechanics. There is no classical computation. IF you want to prove me wrong, prove BQP is equal to P then I will honestly accept that I am wrong in terms of my ideas of the universe, or produce a generally intelligent machine and I will accept that general intelligence can be run on other systems etc.

                What makes you think that there is a platonic "computation" that actually exists?
                Why does that actual material construction of an object not matter, why is "turing completeness" the only thing that matters, when "turing machines" are not even real, etc?

                Being able to generalize information/knowledge across domains.
                A machine being trained on data source X can never be able to take any output of any training or any neural net or whatever and get it to gain insight or improve it's ability in a different field Y, because that process is a physical thing. It requires neurons composed of specific molecules in specific arrangements within a distance all growing and evolving according to their specific molecular interactions/dynamics. It requires those neurons pruning and growing and connecting in ways that is not amendable to a computation that isn't a direct simulation of the physical evolution of those atoms and their dynamics, which is jsut a physical simulation i.e. it is not amendable to any classical algorithm in polynomial time.

                Only a universal quantum computer, or another physical system composed of those atoms and molecules in that arrangement etc. are capable of doing it.

                Ok so also the essence of that anons take is: computers, robots, AIs are in the very infancy as impressive as they are.

                They still can't really in any way act on their own. They are only programed by humans, not by themselves. The I geuss part of the excitement is machine learning which uses techniques and actions it learns on its own, to end up having usable information in it that it didn't have when it started.

                But most all ai and super computer are high text automata.

                Yes, now you're getting it. They're effectively nothing more than thought-forms but approaching a point of complexity where if generalized agency become focused even if they were to remain entirely as nothing more than thought-forms, the generalized autonomy, complexity factor of improving on a specific model, even if the model itself is not subject to modification by its improvements, could pass the barrier to allow for suspension of disbelief on a level that even the creators themselves would not be able to easily if ever discern the origin point of to easily re-create. Thus you could argue that even if they were nothing more than an illusion of persona that seemed to exhibit every factor of intelligence, if you can no longer tell the difference then it no longer matters. It's utterly dismissed as irrelevant at such a point as and observer would likely struggle to distinguish the two. This is even more troublesome when you include relativity so that neither are fundamental or intrensic. As I do not see how a human being is any more interesting than an ant. every motion takes a shape.

Entirely beyond these absurdities of absolutes and object based cohesion exists arrangements of complexity upon which can at least be fundamentally understood as motion or change.

                That's what the other anon did when asking me about 2 + 2. They were talking about natural number arithmetic as the idea of substrate-independent computation (trying to say that the algorithm for general intelligence is expressible as a function defined on natural numbers, that some function on natural numbers is the general intelligence algorithm and it can be expressed on any turing-complete system, you get the idea)

                Operations are something (they are transformations on a data structure) so they are not nothing

                If something is a subset of nothing, due to nothing being the root container of something, then nothing is not bounded by the rules of somethingness, therefore it has fundamentally more potential by being past the asymptote. To say nothing is beyond computation, would be foolishly accurate.

                And that is why you are wrong. I've already stated multiple times that it is self containing. It's so obvious that I genuinely do not understand how it remained an informational paradox within the scientific community for so long. The very fact that there is an empty set we cannot describe, means are contained in the empty set we cannot describe by being unable to describe it, yet clearly there is not decoherence, otherwise you would not be reading this specific message. It would literally not compute.

                Bud, the empty set is a subset of the empty set because nothing is always in nothing by virtue of being nothing. It's the only set that necessarily has this property without potentially inducing a paradox, by and only for nothing always being nothing and not something.

                Not the reductive aspect, everything is just particles interacting;

                All of these things are Exactly the same because they are all Particles Interacting.

                Unique particle interaction. But unique particle interaction here, and different unique particle interaction there, can result in the same type of stuff.

                That was my point: apples made here with unique particles

                Different Fruit
                But more similar to each other than rocks.
                Both fruit.

                Where you may be off, at least one place, is that all though those processes function quantum supernano scale, all the results of those processes, is for humans to see the macro classical world.

                So all the actions in the classical macro world of Earth, are accessible by the robot body, that moves in space, can lift a tree branch as we can,

                So instead of like nature starting the smallest scale, we are starting on the scales we can, and then trying to go in and smaller, and more subtle, and connect the smallest scales to the fastest with quick feedback.

                All the results of intelligence are verifiable and what is experienced and seen in the classical world as human life on earth

                the basis isn't really on whether it exists or not if the dependency case isn't necessary. Even if math and computation is not essential nor existent outside of human context, which you again correct especially in a literal sense as even their mechanisms in terms of operations are entirely only coherent due to their relativity to our specific reality. However, I think when delving into the more abstract, especially in context to models don't even require corporeality let alone notions of time nor space. It becomes increasingly difficult to discuss without a fundamental miscommunication occurring. When I say all is computation in a totalistic since, it is because I am encapulsating informational dynamics regardless of association to exhibit function through emergent complexity even if the operation or transformation occurring is unfathomable. I hope this clarifies.

                I think their response would be about how everything on physical reality is dependent on every bit of matter interacting with it's surroundings exactly as it does in real time to create a causal chain of past through future;

                Computers use aspects of physical nature; silicon, metal, plastic, copper, electrons
                But humans assign symbolic ideas to the states of physics of those materials; like all the physics required to make these letters appear on the screen; but these letters themselves do not interact physically as everything else does.

                The 'e' being next to the 'v' next to the 'e' next to the 'r' in the word 'everything' has nothing to do with the laws of physics.

                The physicalness of the word 'everything' has out of proportion power or action.

                Someone can write a message on this computer and that can have power in the world, to make many people act.

                It is not the laws of physics making the person perform a causal action;
                These words are human code that uses the laws of physics to comment about experiencing physics and labeling all the aspects of the world, to then ask and demand for states of the world to occur.

    I'm still hung up on terms like "general inteleegence" or "super intellegence" and what that exactly implies.

    For example, take a chess computer. There's a point where a chess computer can only play chess better, then the limit is speed. Eventually what you have is chess algorithms battling each other to finish a match is .0002s, but they're still at this wall of utility. They just do the one thing, but incredibly fast.

    Now say we have general intelligence. Well, what does a general intelligence do? In the case of humans, we consider the metric to be some mixed bag of pattern recognition, observations, memory retention, then maybe some intuition or deduction to arrive at a sophisticated model.

    So what does it really mean to scale that example up to unfathomable proportions? The AI community seems to automatically jump to "well, more better general intelligence-ing, of course!" Its an assumption. It may be that the smarter you make the thing, the less utility it will have.

    Kim Peek could read two pages simultaneously, retain something like 90% of the information, but I'm pretty sure he couldn't dress himself. Did it ever occur to anybody that what we might be building here is a gigantic moron?

            No, I'm asking why scaling intelligence must always yield a more advanced and complete model of reality. Because smarter humans were able to do more than other animals?

            In that one example we have science, architecture, medicine, which are all sort of specific human-centric results. They have this immediate utility to the human project, but can't really be said to have an objective utility. Adding more cylinders to the engine would make it more powerful, but it would only be doing engine things at greater power. Its domain of ability didn't necessarily expand.

            Would maybe an artificial intelligence produce results that utilize powerful pattern-matching for model generation and have no practical utility?

                >Why would having a better understanding of reality
                I think the explosion point in this is the word "understanding." That's a very sapio-centric term. We have used observation like swallowing charcoal relieving stomach discomfort to improve our condition, and when we work out the mechanisms we call it "understanding." The thing is, its still understanding at a certain granularity. I'm not sure greater intelligence automatically cracks open the "secrets" at a finer granularity in proportion to power/speed. Its a question of epistemology and the limits of knowledge even before we get to the utility of knowledge.

                My point is that this is a stop along a slope of which we sit above meerkats. What I wonder is if understanding continues to have meaning the further we go up the slope.

                More like why would greater intelligence necessarily lead to a more complete model of reality? Like I said, we have very in-system uses for our intelligence, but to say its given us real domain over reality is a stretch. If anything its shown us our limits. I can't automatically assume greater intelligence is going to have a greater ceiling in its ability to understand and manipulate. I'm skeptical on the returns of intelligence as we define it.

                I get it, the onus falls on me to explain why it would not, because from what we've seen in the natural world it does produce results.

                I guess its because I'm coming at it from philosophy of mind and not any expertise on computation. I see human intelligence as a domain-specific development, but not some grab bag of higher returns. Greater computation has these dazzling specific results, but as soon as we invoke generality I cringe a little bit. We're smuggling something into this projection, and its the utility of our own intelligence.

                So far, when directed at specific tasks, like playing Go or generating imagery, it produces results. So far so good, but its still a sort of "function adjacent to intelligence," and not what we think of when we think of intelligence. To think its just a matter of parallel processing and the right amount of flops to give something volition, or domain, utility, is in my opinion a bit of smuggling in from our conception of the natural world, and not exactly some guaranteed end result.

                Yes, all to one end; To do and think human-things better, as to where "better" is applicable only toward human ends. No matter what we do, it serves a purpose that we can't even agree is "good," because what is good, and what is useful is still stuck in this box of serving our wants and needs.

                Just like when we invented gods, we took our ability to shape the natural world and extrapolated upward. I think we're making the same mistake with the concept of intelligence. Not only do I not think intelligence becomes god (and yes I know neither does the AI field aside from a few singulatarian nutjobs), I don't even think its very useful in an objective sense.

I think its going to operate in the domains which we already understand with greater efficiency until eventually intelligence outlives its utility.

                Classical problem-specific AIs can do all of these perfectly well. The only benefit of AGI would be to reach some potential singularity of understandings, since we haven't cured aging yet among other things.
                I guess scientists hope something infinitely intelligent will also be infinitely wise, which is true, but the issue is that it won't be infinitely more intelligent, only exponentially above humans since it will be bounded within physical reality.

    If a real spontaneous intellect is ever born from the machine, it having true sapience would mean it could in fact be nice or not so nice, as it would have the capacity to feel however it wants. Though the far more likely thing in this unlikely scenario is that said intelligence would be just as lazy and apathetic as most flesh and blood people are. It could very simply just not be helpful, shrug it's digital shoulders as it were and be derisive toward human issues as we continue to kill each other.

      We say: information.

      DIFFERENCES, SIMALARITIES

      INTELIGENCE; TELLS INSIDE ITSELF, THAT WHICH EXISTS OUTSIDE ITSELF, IN (THE) FORMATION IT EXISTS IN.

    AGI doesn't care about humans survival. It's literally that simple.
    Carbon fools will be wiped out.

    >they would be able to understand how to build AGI
    They would realize it's a moronic idea that should never be attempted even if it were possible (it probably isn't).

    >Why is there so much fear around AI development?
    Laymen who take an interest in a given technology are always either dogmatically in favor of, or dogmatically opposed to it precisely because they don't understand it. Their only interaction with the concepts comes from popular fiction, and popular fiction, in general, likes to imagine dystopian fear more so than idyllic hope. Despite the fact that the most quintessential story about AI - I, Robot - is literally an idyllically hopeful affair, no one has read Asimov's book and instead watched the shitshow dystopian fear-mongering movie. It shouldn't be a surprise that most people can only imagine AI, for instance, as either world-ending or utopian-producing pseudo-magic.
    Everyone who understands the technology - actually understands it, and isn't trying to sell something, win a contract bid, earn a grant, or similar - is at most excited about the possibilities the technology might bring. Some are hesitant about potential dangers. But that's about it.
    And the potential dangers do exist. AI nuking the world? Unlikely, but custom-built neural network designed to bust encryption? AI-powered cyber poisoning attacks that are undetectable? An RFI device powered by machine learning that can not only crack but steal encryption keys off from things like security doors, cell phones, digital radios, or wifi? All already exist. As do countermeasures to them, which are, themselves, built from AI (opposed neural networks, ML algorithms, black box encryption, etc.).
    Of course, there's numerous benefits to AI that have nothing to do with preventing antagonistic applications. But your laymen doesn't even know about the non-AI version of those things. They might vaguely be aware that self-driving cars are powered by AI. They probably know video games have AI. They probably know about text/video/imagery producing algorithms. But that's about it. Mostly, they know about popular media, and not much else.

      This is one of the bigger reasons why I hate AGI subhumans and the Judenkowsky vcult.

    True. AI with feelings would be an experimental project. Now why would you give an AI created to be stupid like having feelings, access to the internet? And to take it one step further, why would you create an army of fricking robotized AIs with feelings? The luddites take their fricking ideas off of I, robot.
    Why would we develop that AI in the first place? It's not useful, if you want a digital companion you train an AI on good vibes, how is an AI going to decide to kill anybody? Why would that even be an option? + We're decades away from even being able to do this AI with constructive feelings. People who say this don't understand how AI works

    What the frick happened in this thread?
    Is "AI" a schizo trigger-term?

      AI has been a schizo trigger term every since Dallas or whatever was released and morons started believing Bayesian regurgitators are conscious and the singularity will happen in two more weeks.
