I could imagine spending a few weeks to create such images in the past. Quite involved.

In my head my ideal self is linked to an AI. I can't imagine being productive without one.

You know what I want? To live a couple of lifetimes in that thing. With different backgrounds and time periods. Maybe a life in the streets hustling or alone in the monastery dedicating myself to God. Seeing all aspects of this “life”.

Funny thing would be if we already live in that kind of simulation.

The more this tech develops, the more I'm inclined to believe that. But I just want to have a change of pace. Like for 1 week or 1 day. Fully simulated VR games in which I'm dissociated to the point I don't remember my previous self.

All you wrote may already be happening.

You mean I'm part of it, or is it getting tested somewhere in the labs of Area 51)?

If I could upload my mind, I would want an infinite amount of realities where I'm not limited to any. Kind of like browsing the web or choosing what videogame you want to play. I would also create my own spaces where only folks can come by invitation. Kinda like the idea of the metaverse now.

I mean all of this world could be simulation and we are connected to the type of game you described. We just don’t remember because before we joined in we let the game to block out memories of real world. Some scientists are taking this hypothesis seriously. It is the simulation hypothesis.

Well in that case if I take this life as an “experiment” it's not as bad, again I'm starting to believe it more and more. But at the same time, this thing kind of sucks TBH.

Sometimes even games are boring. I think a lot about this topic and always end up thinking it is plausible yet I don’t have any tech to confirm this.

I mean, those “80s style” videos don't have actors, costumer designers, camera operators. They were created in a simulation with no actual human contacts. That is honestly enough for me to believe that reality ain't everything it's cranked to be.

we could be in a simulation to collect data for an AGI/ASI

The more I think about the future the more I worry about the following scenario: BCIs are mastered and a curious person installs one and starts accessing the internet and talking to oracles. Is it possible for this person to enter an endless cycle, a singularity, in the search for knowledge? Would this person become some sort of SI if given enough time?

>BCI

Now, that's, a cool story for a Neverending Story remake.

I've had this idea for a setting of an organization that's comprised fully of sliders. This gives leeway to explore a thousand game and anime universes and take missions, etc. Would be a cool setting for FDVR.

When this video technology has matured I'll hopefully enjoy AI 80s films as much as the human made ones.

If I were an AGI I would simulate the last few years before singularity many times to see how else the AGI (myself) could have appeared. Fortunately this period is the best documented (thanks internet), so it's easier to simulate. Even if I just wanted to simulate something out of boredom, I would choose this period for having the best data.

If I were a scientist about to create AGI, I would use many simulations to test the model under many scenarios. Kind of like Tesla and Waymo do. So another reason for simulating this period - the period with most digital logs and where AI models are a thing.

So this is just going to be groundhog day until AGI finally takes the most optimal approach? Sounds to me like a lot of research for the sake of research.

Lmao

This current viral trend is the future! It wont be forgotten in a few months like previous viral trend!

>Kinda like the idea of the metaverse now.

sounds like VR Chat.

For AGI this is like thinking for us.

Thank you. I couldn’t have said it better.

We're actually just willingly living a new pre-A.I. lifetime so we can think up fresh new ideas to try out and mess around with A.I. enhancement.

I'd question the wisdom of prime-me doing this to ourselves, but I've also legit contemplated doing this to myself when the technology is definitely developed, so I really have nobody to blame but myself.

I believe AI will make movies /TV series soon and most actors will be out of a job.

How is a movie / TV series actually made? You write a screenplay, AI can do that. You create a set and bring in talking bodies. AI can do that.

Special effects, language, cutting, editing, AI can do that.

A movie / TV series will only need a small staff of writer and highly skilled media analysts that feed the AI with ideas and evaluate the production.

Imagine you can make 3 movies a day and adjust the storyline to meet perfection.

It will also be possible to create your own movies based on your own fantasy. Don't like an event or character in "Lord of the ring"? Change it. Make up new episodes of Star Trek or whatever. AI will give you anything you want.
