The point isn’t that it doesn’t work. It’s that his claims of how scalable it is, and the financials, are extremely overstated.

I mean I hope you’re right but I’m talking about tiny little fragments exploding everywhere, not the majority of the thing

I recommend a counter argument worth considering to someone who said they want to make a large financial investment... god forbid I'm not a rabid elon fanatic

Except if there is a collision and then pieces will fly in every direction and into higher orbits 👍

Then a new sub is created to replace it and the cycle continues

I think his point is once you have an AI that can do anything, it will be able to improve on itself so fast that it will just surpass is in no time.

Yea but a general AI could probably use other specific AI’s, and know which to use

The only reason we consider the elements we do as “biological” are because they are on this planet. For all we know there might be aliens with silicon based brains and copper bones.

I think the wildest thing about what we're experiencing now, is that basically anyone an access it. For all of history, crazy new physical technical tools and gadgets would be limited to the few who could afford it.

Even DALLE was fully closed off, but only for less than 2 years. And now we have many free image generators like Craiyon that equal or surpass what DALLE 1 was. And with stable diffusion, we get the cutting edge immediately.

But what makes this different from hardware is that AI theoretically has unlimited uses, assuming it can achieve the same learning and problem-solving capabilities as a human brain eventually. (And I see no reason why it wouldn't)

So everybody gets all the tools immediately with just a download.

I've heard a prediction by some scientist that when we achieve AGI that can improve itself (and soon after, a singularity), there will basically be nobel-prize-winning tier discoveries every few seconds.

What a time to be alive. We're either at the very end of humanity (AI destroys us), or the beginning of some epic shit.

Wish there were a bit more details. Surely there have to be more factors. I mean if there really was a single point of 'failure', some virus would have exploited it? (Maybe some do) Is this only an "off switch" for one aspect of the immune system, like how it mentions white blood cells?

Better start hoarding money so you'll be able to afford it
