Sure. But people can also physically stop that all pretty easily. I guess we'll see who causes the most chaos.

Shutting off the power grid would be suicide to a computer trying to manipulate anything.

Bribes would work at first, but if the computer based monetary system gets manipulated then all bets are off.

I asked him about it. He said he really signed it.

I've worked with John Wick. He shoots a lot of people and drives really fast.

I'm very pessimistic, but also I think we have 20+ years of just being able to unplug AGI and start over whenever we want. Until we have terminator-like androids, then what can it really do?

I'd watch software companies like Microsoft and Google that we know are putting AI into their products. They've all been firing a lot of people lately. Companies like Nvidia that actually make the hardware are hiring.

They're definitely using it to write content. I don't think it totally makes up for the downsizing, but it's filling a gap.

My work basically fired 90% of the marketing team. When they fire the CEO, then we'll know it's getting serious.

Microsoft fired their whole AI ethics department. If I was an AI asked to cut costs, that's literally the first thing I'd suggest doing.

Terminator definitely in 2026. Remind me!

$5 foot longs?

My son is 11, and I am signing him up for everything AI related immediately.

He was just doing what he was supposed to do. Just following orders!

If we look at what are your odds of being a human alive at any particular time, though, then being alive right now has the highest chance. There are more humans alive right now than at any other single time point in the history of the universe.

That was one idea, called "Hidden Variables". However, there is a statistical test for this, now called "Bell's Inequalities". This test has been performed, and definitively showed that hidden variables do not exist. It's actually pretty fascinating stuff, and I'd encourage anyone to read more about it all.

He is kind of right, in a sense. If two objects are perfectly entangled, then you can "force" the unobserved object into a certain state by observing (interacting with) only its entangled partner. Of course you aren't really forcing anything.

My favorite interpretation is the Many World Interpretation, and it's more about you yourself also becoming entangled with a certain part of the universal wave function, and that limits what you can observe, due to decoherence. The Copenhagen Interpretation gives the same results, but then you have to assume instantaneous wave function collapse affecting both entangled partners, rather than you just finding yourself in a subsection of the larger wave function, that never collapses.

It's not a tumah.

I agree. I have been following the AI advances, and work in cancer diagnostics. We have a whole AI team at my work.

I mean... This is very cool that the AI can do this classification from imaging, but it's not really revolutionary. Humans can also do it, and of course can also just do a molecular test in a couple of days that is even more accurate. I'm not downplaying the advance, but the title makes it seem like something it isn't.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. AI is supposed to be intelligent. Are they also supposed to be wise?

The system is working exactly as designed.

You can get around this by setting rules and having community monitoring of the rules. For example, just say, "no meme posts", "no personal attacks", have minimum karma requirements, etc.

Yep. Homeopathic diagnostics.

Haha. I was there in line the day they opened. It was actually pretty fun that morning.

Not just cheapest, but simplest and with quality assurance.

Thanks for the explanation, Dennis.

That's because you don't understand the innuendo. Yet.
