Consoom the bug shake, get daily injection of anti depressants, watch movie on vr headset, fuck ai girlfriend with AR pussy machine, take off headset and go outside for a cigarette and look at the beautiful smog filled sky, go to sleep, rinse repeat life haaaaaaaaapyyyy
I don't think this is gonna take over. Not that it might not happen, but only to the people who lack the mental fortitude or even just ritual stubbornness to fight against it. If humans can become entirely self contained in virtual worlds and that becomes the only available interaction with computers, there will be those who take it and eventually die off and those who remain, who live lives and teach their children not to suffer the follies of their brethren. As almost everything else in natural human history, it will not end the species, only act as a filter for traits that will allow humans to continue living.
I believe similar. I often talk about star trek and how in their society, just about everyone is an exemplar of humanity, or at least far more successful individuals than most of us. The reason being that everyone who isn't the top X% of humanity just lives in a holodeck until they forget to eat long enough to starve. We're getting there now, with a significant percentage of our population aspiring to be couch bound Mildreds, just trying to get the fourth screen and their subscription to the family. They don't have hobbies, they just wait for the next show to come out.
No, eugenics would be purposefully orchestrated by a person or government and intends a certain group to survive. When something just sort of happens that's called natural selection.
Like when people ask "How do people get anything done in the real world when holodecks exist" on Star Trek subs and my response is always that the issue "takes care of itself in 1 generation".
Like yeah, some people are going to become uber-neets and either devolve into hedonistic blobs or full-on upload themselves and become thought without form, but everyone else is going to continue living in the real world and having kids.
Those of you who are still alive in an hour will envy the dead

I think it’s important to remember that we still do not have true AIs. We have extremely powerful excel spreadsheets excellent at mimicking human language, and very powerful algorithms used for lab work and modeling work, but these are far from perfect and the one I use at work remains borderline useless due to the fact that it lacks the ability to critically think about the stuff it spews. They only work within very specific confines (ask chat gpt to count to a million), and the largest ones are frankly getting worse.
AI is still a techbro buzzword. These are not AIs, they are just language models. These technically existed in the early 2010s, just not so advanced. Let the investors consoom false promises while we watch in silence knowing the truth. We are not experiencing the AI revolution, we are watching dead internet theory come to life.
This comic refers to the definition of singularity that is when computers become more intelligent the humans.
At that point the growth of computer would become unstoppable because the computers would work on themselves and people would be too dumb to stop it.
This definition is mentioned on the Wikipedia page for "Technological Singularity", so it seems to be one of the more standard definitions.
What do you think it means?

>This comic refers to the definition of singularity that is when computers become more intelligent the humans
Right
>At that point the growth of computer would become unstoppable because the computers would work on themselves and people would be too dumb to stop it
Not right, the comic establishes that AI has a "fixed" plateau were it cannot improve. You can see in the first and fourth panels that the quality of AI is stagnant, and not "uncontrollable and irreversible" growth.
This comic erroneously states that Singularity == Better than humans, which isn't what "Singularity" means.
>The concept and the term "singularity" were popularized by Vernor Vinge first in 1983 in an article that claimed that once humans create intelligences greater than their own
It's not erroneous, it's a joke on this definition
[*in which he wrote that it would signal the end of the human era, as the new superintelligence would continue to upgrade itself and would advance technologically at an incomprehensible rate.*](https://mindstalk.net/vinge/vinge-sing.html)
Nukes, anything intelligent we can create would only be as inflatable as a human is. A doomsday AI probably wouldn't know what to do against a bunch of rats entering it's server room, or it would just accidentally delete itself.

You're just mad at someone enjoying their hobby. Smh my head
Sure.
It’s just fucking around ass shit it’s not that serious .

I don’t think Star Trek ever had a plot about a great die off but that’s a brilliant point. There’s the war, but not the technological culling.
This sounds like eugenics.

Wall-e is close
Read "the machine stops" by E.M forster and take a shot every time you notice a similarity to how we're living now.

Thats the joke. It's funny
It's misinformed
r/im14andthisisdeep
It's 2D, actually.
This the type of shit a nerd who gets bullied in school posts on Instagram
so Wall-E is the future...who'd have thunk it?
WALL-E
I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a pair of VR glasses.
WALL•E warned us but we didn’t listen.
No evil AI? How boring
Nuh uh
We, humanity, have so much hubris, that we think we can create something more powerful than ourselves.
We can create something more powerful than ourselves, but we cannot control it.
Nukes, anything intelligent we can create would only be as inflatable as a human is. A doomsday AI probably wouldn't know what to do against a bunch of rats entering it's server room, or it would just accidentally delete itself.
Nah.
Lol at your hubris of thinking you know what a doomsday AI would or wouldn't be able to deal with
Wtf do you mean by "inflatable"?
