it's an irony of history that we could have probably had LLM tech in the 1980s, but for the fact that cybernetics research and that branch of tech was considered tainted by its association with communism and central planning. the cybernetics guys who would have been working on these problems were all considered pinko megalomaniacs. the neural networks underpinning it all date back to the cold war.

Skynet is one the least terrifying outcomes of AI for me. Even if the AI wipes us out we at least managed to create a living thing that will exist in perpetuity.
iirc skynet wrote itself out of the terminator timeline.
eh? how do you think AI will power itself without humans? it requires an energy/water infrastructure to 'keep the lights on'.SuperJail Warden wrote:

or is a self-aware machine intelligence going to somehow extract fossil fuels and keep turbines spinning?
we already created a bunch of stuff that will outlast us. the anthropocene is going to leave a stratum of plastics and forever chemicals in the ground.

You know how lab cut diamonds are cheaper than natural diamonds? I think AI art may lead to a comeback of hand painted art appreciation. Like people becoming famous for being able to bang these out by hand.
there's already been a whole weird-ass trend in contemporary art of 'neorealism', in which people paint things as if they are a gajillion megapixel photographs, or something. art is always absorbing and reiterating these stuff.
the other day i saw a youtube playlist of classical music. all the composers were rerendered by ai to look terminally jovial. all kinds of weird artifacts. even scribbly, broken parodies of music notation in the backgrounds.
make the slop stop.
