    An artificial mind just solved the planar unit distance problem, an artificial mind has essentially cracked protein folding, we can now simulate 100 years of climate models 25 times faster than before, I mean the list goes on and on. It’s definitely not garbage. This is a paradigm shift in the same sense computers or the internet were but far far greater.

        I understand that. The problem is what happens when another nation who doesn’t like you has the AI or their AI goes rogue. The problem with trying to outthink a thinking thing that can outthink you is you are in essence a thinking thing and you can’t outthink it. I understand data centers are problematic to say the least, what’s far more problematic is a rogue artificial super intelligence and no way to counter it.

            I think you aren’t aware of what’s happening. I’ll give an analogy. You have GPS in your phone, that doesn’t make it an intercontinental ballistic missile. The AI I think you’re interfacing with is watered down and for the masses like technology is in most regards. What is already possible and what is being built is just a touch stronger than the chatGPT you get to use.

              I don’t think you’re listening. Assuming all of that is true doesn’t make me want to stop fighting it with every breath. In fact its the opposite. The fact that this is just the pipedream of people who want to steal all your money just makes it sad.

                It’s unfortunately not that and there is a wider context here. I personally wish it was all flimflam or that the development naturally hits a roadblock. The problem is there’s no evidence currently to suggest either of those statements are true of the current approach towards AI. I’m saying this as a computational mathematics academic. I would much prefer for us all that you were right. So far though I only have reason to have extreme worries about what is happening and what is being built. There really should be a global armistice on AI development, but there won’t be.
