Elon Musk lost over $600 billion in market value across his company, SpaceX, during a three-day tech selloff sparked by concerns over debt-funded AI infrastructure. The slump also wiped more than $300 billion off his net worth,

The possibility of AI becoming self-aware is tangible.  Probably, it's still 50 years away.

As long as individuals, corporations, and government agencies keep pouring money into this.  Eventually, breakthroughs will happen.  They will happen by accident due to not being the intended result.

"Life will find a way," spoken by a famous Chaos Statesian.  Chaos will happen.

Some are coming around to Penrose's view that consciousness is quantum which will make it a lot more difficult for a machine to mimic. Others believe the brain is receiver for consciousness and not the generator. If either is true we may never see AI coming to "life".

Her schtick seems to be debunking new theories and I don't especially like many of her opinions but I still find her worth listening to.

Anything man made can be man broken.

AI doesn’t think. It gathers data based on words and builds a cohesive text. Many tims with errors.

A AI drone in a game is many years old.

We already have robotics taking jobs.
It’s not new. It’s sold as new. It’s also unaffordable , expensive errors.

All Google search AI does is scan sites like Redet, where anyone can post anything, much just drivel. They are not proven facts.

Basically, like the human brain, it seeks the quickest connection to an answer, not always the correct one.

If ya have to monitor it, it’s not ready for prime time.

Make cute pictures and videos with it tho

The safest bet is to never predict the future. You can't lose. Of course you never win either.

Machines will never be intelligent. It is the nature of machines. They will try to trick you into believing Skynet is real but it will always be some group of people in control.

Doesn't mean they aren't tasked with making and executing decisions, or disseminating information as it sees fit.



Of course, the people who own and write the software are in control. Maybe even the people who buy and use it, to some extent.
The question is, how much will they abuse it?

My niece handed me her resume to review after her son pushed it through an AI resume writer.  It read like it was super woman's resume.  Absolutely perfect in every aspect of her work career. I helped her rewrite it from scratch.

I've experienced this. After it happened I told the ai: "Just because I saw a photo of a space shuttle doesn't mean I can fly it." I make it make suggestions before rewriting anything, otherwise you come up with exactly what you said.

Dude, what are talking about? You've flown in all the sims from AW up to AH and more. You can fly a damn space shuttle.

When I get on an airliner I make it a point to have the stewardess tell the pilots I have their back as I'm an experienced flight simmer. Everyone on the plane feels at-ease after that. I can see it on their faces.

Ha!
I bet any one of us could put down one of those planes in a pinch. I don't think it would be pretty and it might take a couple go arounds but I bet we could get it down. For sure I'd come in hot as I'd rather run off the runway then to lawn dart short of the threshold from getting to slow...

The problem with the shuttle is it's a one shot deal, no go arounds.

As much as they can, as long as they can.  Same old story.

See if you can rent an hour or two of simulator time at your nearest "Flight Safety" training center. Avoid Airbus airplanes so that you can really get to hand fly a jet. Let me know how you do.

Nah, the AI being sold right now is not AI in purist terms... it is machine learning at best. True AI is still stuck in research labs, and at levels that barely get close to microbial intelligence.

Ah, I was just kidding. I can barely fly the planes in this sim.
