The comments are fun. Here's the pinned comment, authored by the video's author:
I'm not the best at thinking on the fly, so here are two key points I tried to make that got a little lost in the discussion:
1 I think our entire disagreement rests on Eliezer seeing increasingly refined AI conclusively making the jump to actual intelligence, whereas I do not see that. I only see software that mimics many observable characteristics of intelligence and gets better at it the more it's refined.
2 My main point of the stuff about real v. fake + biological v. machine evolution was only to say that just because a process shares some characteristics with another one, other emergent properties aren't necessarily shared also. In many cases, they aren't. This strikes me as the case for human intelligence v. machine learning.
MY CONCLUSION
By the end, I honestly couldn't tell if he was making a faith-based argument that increasingly refined AI will lead to true intelligence, despite being unsubstantiated OR if he did substantiate it and I was just too dumb to connect the dots. Maybe some of you can figure it out!
Here's my favourite:
"Ooh Ross making an interview!"
5 minutes in
"Ooh Ross is making an interview Neil Breen of AI".
That’s like watching CPU vs CPU in a fighting or sports game. It’s pointless.
Saltybet catching strays. But that’s okay. That’s how saltybet rolls
Ah, right. That. Reminds me of that old adage about monsters and abysses. "Fighting monsters and abyss staring is good and cool, actually. France is bacon." Something like that, don't fact check me.
My AllTrails told me bears keep eating his promptfondlers so I asked how many promptfondlers he has and he said he just goes to AllTrails and gets a new promptfondler afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding promptfondlers to bears and then his parks service started crying.
titotal?!?!? I heard they were dead! (jk. why did they stop hanging here, I forget...)
Doing some reading about the SAG-AFTRA video game voice acting strike. Anyone have details about "Ethovox", the AI company that SAG has apparently partnered with?
cool story, bro
lol the corollary of this is that LLMs are incapable of producing meaningful output, you insufferable turd
Given that the LLMs typically have a system prompt that specifies a particular tone for the output, I think pretentious is an absolutely valid and accurate word to use.
dark forest internet here we go!!!
it's funny to me that these futurist/thought leader/tech genius utterly fail to build their cult compounds where a goofy ass cult like Scientology has blown past them completely
network state
Great, a new stupid thing to know about. How likely is it that a bunch of people that believe they are citizens of an online state will become yet another player in the Stochastic Terrorism as a Service industry?
I wonder if some of those chuds think those waymos might be conscious
what kind of semen retention scheme is this
Note to the Peanut gallery: this guy knows about paperclipmaxxing but not this more famous comic. Curious. lmfao
Incredible work as always, self
that being said… AI does literally help some people. for many things. google search was my favourite AI tool 25 years ago, but it’s definitely not right now.
lol
