    These people are swallowing the hype without even testing the tools.

      Have you actually tested these tools? Because while they’re not flawless, I’d still say that even in their current form, they’re pretty damn good.

      I love how quickly we get used to things. ChatGPT would’ve been considered straight-up magic ten years ago - and now we’re just shitting on it for the edge cases where it gets something blatantly wrong, while completely dismissing the countless times it does exactly what it’s supposed to.

        I have, they degrade very significantly whenever the context goes to 8000+ tokens.

        It’s approaching the lower levels of human reasoning, which, as we have realized over the past few years, isn’t that impressive.

          Yeah, I bet at least half of the major models would fall for disinformation and vote for fascists. The Turing test is seeing if the AI will commit hate crime using legal justification, right? Definitely by next year.

            And what is this assumption based on?

      It’s all to grift investors and CEOs who surrounded themselves with yes men get the same news as investors.

      We literally can’t get it with silicon chips, because silicon is a solid.

      I was literally just watching some videos with a panel of the world leading physicists in this.

      None of these tech bros understand what consciousness is, they’re operating on way out of date oversimplified explanations and assuming there’s nothing deeper.

        The hope is that we don’t actually need consciousness to produce something useful. And ultimately, that would be for the best. If we know definitively that silicon computing cannot result in consciousness, then many of the ethical concerns of using AIs disappear. You still have the ethical concerns of replacing human labor and using stolen work to train them, but at least you don’t have to worry about creating a slave race in the process.

        Nobody understands what consciousness is - nor is that even relevant here. Artificial Super Intelligence that isn’t conscious is a perfectly coherent concept. While it’s valid to discuss whether a system like that could be conscious, there’s absolutely no reason to assume it needs to be.

          Yes…

          If you don’t know what youre talking about. It’s sounds plausible…

    That speech is not saying much. It’s just “AI is coming and we need an unknown amount of money for that.” Nothing on how that money is used or how they’ll deal with anything related to this.

      This is pretty funny. eu politicians (especially von der leyen) all seem to just regurgitate word salad based on what the Mainstream Media is saying despite the fact that those same media sources are consistently hallucinate “unnamed insiders” or “people familiar with the mater” whose “information” turns out to be the opposite of reality.
