So what's your take on AI, anon? Do you think we should put a global moratorium on all AI research? How much should we consider the risk that AI will kill us?

I believe AI was already in use during covid pandemic to prevent schizo panic
If you could just linger on that for a minute, it appears there are more antivax schizos now than ever before, how do you reconcile those two points, and where would you say you fall on the spectrum of vax to antivax schizo?
I think the 4chan effect was just stronger than the anti-measures, if what you say is true. I don't take covid too seriously, it's "clown world" after all. But I would side with vaxxies, they seem less diseased.
What do you think retard? No I want ai to have full control over everything while being sentient and have emotion
I think everyone overreacts to AI. It's just another form of automation. All of the cool shit that could come from AI will take a backseat to "What can we use this for to blow shit up" and "What can we use this for to make more money than we do already". Plus, we don't have a real AI; at some point it still requires some form of input.
Knowledge is good on average, and AI systems are an amalgamation of knowledge, so good will win out

1. We have no choice but to assume that (1) our senses provide input that can be validated by modeling reality, and (2) two contradictory things cannot be true at the same time
2. Studying the only-available reality modeled on our sensory input helps us reveal the only-available truth. That truth also includes assertions on the concept of value
3. As long as intrinsic value cannot be determined by the scientific method, we can use the concept of probabilistic value that can validate our actions. Value of choices is then probabilistically determined by the elusive hope of determining intrinsic value in the future through a radical change of our model of reality
4. Knowledge carries probabilistic value as a tool of predicating on the truth and value
5. Mankind's effort to search for the truth carries probabilistic value. This value translates into the support for global progress and development in education, medicine, science, technology, philosophy, etc.
6. Knowledge helps reconcile philosophical systems: hedonistic, religious, deontological, existential, agnostic, skeptical, etc. Knowledge helps universal ethical reconciliation
7. The main enemy of the truth is the negative emotion: hate, anger, envy, malice, etc. The greatest friend of the truth is broad, all-encompassing, open-minded education
Fearing neural networks and other cognitive technologies is like fearing the Java Virtual Machine in the 1990s. Yes, of course, abstraction makes you lose some level of agency, but the benefit is worth it and allows you to scale in complexity.
We're going to write less code and we're going to read more. Artists are going to use it to enhance inspiration because, guess what, they love what they do. Also, keep in mind that just because Meta's Language Model, Falcon or other types of expert systems like Stable Diffusion are out there and you want to restrict them, doesn't remove the fact that other threat actors are not going to develop their own private Neural Network initiatives and by banning the technology all a nation states can achieve is to cap themselves in the race for Singularity or Multiplicity, whatever that means.
Not everything is perfect in though, have you seen those robots they let loose in the U.S. making food deliveries? The hobbos have declared war on those machines. They steal them, ride them, dump them. It is the proof of concept to demonstrate that these highly complex systems cannot have mechanical avatars, not yet, maybe never. Therefore, the dream of a post-scarce society looks quite distant.

Sounds like a problem of <your society>.
Nordic countries are all right.
And soulless
A small price to pay for mature civilization.
anyone have the webm where he asks something about codebase then does a face
it was on wsg
AI is such a brilliant step forward and is going to foster love and kindness, it's like that one Bukowski quote.. or was it Jack Kerouac? Anyway it was about love, and that's important. I can't remember it, but I read it when I was teaching at MIT. Also isn't algebra scary? Be good to each other, you beautiful humans, I'm filled with hope.
*farts*
The following is a conversation with a fellow garden gnome.
>Do you think we should put a global moratorium on all AI research?
absolutely fucking not. progress is too fucking juicy. i get so fucking mad thinking about the cures for diseases like cancer we won't get because yudcucksky fucking doomer gays will stop it.
>How much should we consider the risk that AI will kill us?
shortly after it fixes our biggest problems, e.g. aforementioned diseases, aging, optimal genetic engineering, etc. after that we can reasonably discuss a moratorium and careful development.
>aging
You will age and die you retard. you think big daddy AI magic is gonna solve your problems?
it might help here and there but it's not an "explosion of intelligence" magic bullet like that delusional fucktard Ray Kurzweil and his singularity cultist followers put it.
>you think big daddy AI magic is gonna solve your problems?
yep. in fact we might solve it before then. we've got 40 years to reach this:

>it might help here and there but it's not an "explosion of intelligence" magic bullet
it won't start out that way. but it will get there. takeoff will only take a few years.
>we've got 40 years to reach this:
i've got 40 years*
i'll almost certainly die in my 70s.
shut up retard, we're definitely going to solve aging and I'll fuck robot e-bois until I eventually die from a freak accident
>How much should we consider the risk that AI will kill us?
You watch too many movies lex
What is there to talk about? real AI doesn't exist
