AI in a box

[AKIron]

You guys know cars are mostly built by robots right. Right?

Since the 1980s, the debate over which will arrive first?  AI or human genetic cloning at the adult growth stage.

Skynet wins.  CHAOS loses.  (Get Smart film The Naked Bomb)

I liked Get Smart when I was kid but who thought it would make for a good movie?

Tell that to the thousands who work on the other side of the fence from me. Daily. And down the road. And two states over. It's not nearly so robotic as the robot people want you to believe. And there ain't many robots in shops repairing anything, nor in facilities rebuilding parts.

Knowledge workers are the first low hanging fruit.

They are usually the highest paid highest cost employees.

Programmers, Lawyers, Doctors, Lab Technicians, Engineers, Product designers, accountants, etc, etc, etc.

Physical-based jobs will come next.  Knowledge workers are just the initial biggest bang for the buck to replace.

Eventually there is nothing a human can do that an algorithm can't eventually do.

Maybe our J.O.B. shouldn't be the basis for our worth?

AI just ain't likely to repair, rebuild, or restore classic cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Nor build or modify specialized firearms. I'm pretty safe.

Give it time.

Don't imagine I'm an advocate for sentient AI. I think it's potentially very dangerous. I'm not burying my head in the sand though believing it's not going to happen if I ignore it.

If I could throw a switch and say no more hardware allocated to AI development anywhere I'd throw that switch and hope to see PC components fall in price as abundance soars.

Does it matter if you are an advocate?

It's coming.  Period.  Full stop.  Whether it speaks with an American, Russian, or Chinese accent is yet to be determined.

Imagine a world if the Soviets had gotten the bomb before us.

Exactly. It matters not a whit.

So the only logical strategy is to go all in like Manhattan Project and make sure we are the first'est with the most'est.

Evidently that is what many around the world are trying to do.

I think we stand to benefit from advancing AI in many ways. Will it be worth the risk? Only time will tell.

But if it is going to happen anyway, the risk is sunk cost.

So no point in hesitating.  The risks of being second far ought weight any risk we incur from being first.

It is existential for use to achieve ASI\AGI to harden our systems before our adversaries can attack with ASI\AGI.
