Already being manipulated within a feedback loop that is outside of human control and I want to explain to you the real dystopia that it that is already existing that has been created by these systems and how Ai and in its recent developments is going to amplify what has already been taking place
I’m going to go into some things that people may not be aware of let me show you this first Epoch times have the story it said if we go ahead on this everyone will die Warren’s AI expert calling for absolute shutdown an absolute shutdown of AI
And it said human beings are not ready for a powerful AI under present conditions or even for the foreseeable future stated a foremost expert in the field adding that the recent open adding that the recent open letter calling for a six-month moratorium on developing Advanced artificial intelligence is quote understating the seriousness of
The situation he said the key issue is not human competitive intelligence as the open letter puts it it’s what happens after AI gets to gets to smarter than human intelligence and this individual Elysia elizier udkowski a decision theorist and leading AI research researcher said in a March 29th Time Magazine op-ed
They continued stating many researchers steeped in these issues including myself expected the most likely result of building a super humanly smart AI under anything remotely like the current circumstances is that literally everyone on Earth will die sounds pretty extreme but let’s explain he said quote not as in maybe possibly
Some remote chance but as in that is the obvious thing that would happen it’s not that you can’t in principle survive creating something much smarter than you it’s that it would require precision and preparation and new scientific insights and probably not having AI systems composed of giant inscrutable arrays of fractional numbers
Again he wrote this in a Time Magazine piece it says after the recent popularity and explosive growth of chat GPT several Business Leaders and researchers now totaling 1843 including Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak one of the founders of Apple signed a letter calling on calling on quote all AI labs to immediately
Pause for at least six months the training of AI systems more powerful than chat gpt4 and G and it says gpt4 released in March and is the latest version of open ai’s chat box chat GPT further in it states that yukowski predicts that in the absence of meticulous preparation the AI will have
Vastly different demands from humans and once self-aware will quote not care for us nor any other nor any other sentient life and he said quote that kind of caring is something that could in principle be imbued into an AI but we are not ready and do not currently know how
This is the reason why he’s calling for the absolute shutdown now I should note briefly I don’t think they can shut it down I don’t think they can even pause it the reality is people have already built businesses around it you already have like BuzzFeed even implementing it into like their journalistic journalistic
Practices you already have home versions of it where you can download and install locally versions of chat gpt4 it’s already the cat’s already out of the bag the genie is already out of the bottle you can’t put it back in not only that but in terms of international competition other countries are working
On this as well China is working on it the CCP they have a saying surpass you at the Turning Point meaning there are different Junctions when it comes to technological advancement and new technologies their programs China 2025 now China 2030 programs like project 863 for example already detailed their
Intent they have they have programs for this detail their intent to what they call again surpass you at the Turning Point meaning beat the United States at Key within key high-tech uh areas one of the main ones being Ai and the CCP given the fact that
It collects way more data and that the data in China is centralized under the CCP as opposed to Independent businesses under the national security law for example and and their cyber security law for example I mean the Chinese Communist Party from every single business operating inside China is is able to
Collect that data that biometric data is also being collected and used for similar programs by the Chinese Communist Party if the if the U.S were to shut it down at this point china would become the world leader on AI you can’t put the cat back in the bag
It’s it’s it’s out and so there needs to be another solution to it given that given that reality in my opinion but in notes without a human approach to life the AI will simply consider all sentient beings to be quote made up of atoms it can use for something else and
There is little Humanity little Humanity that can do to stop it compared the scenario to a ten-year-old trying to play chess against stockfish 15. no human chess player has yet been able to beat stockfish talking about this you know AI or artificial intelligent chess player which is considered an impossible feat
You can’t beat it the industry veteran asked readers to imagine AI technology as not being contained within the confines of the internet visualize an entire alien civilization thinking at millions of times human speed initially confined to computers in a world of creatures that are from its perspective
Very stupid and very slow the AI will expand its influence outside the periphery of physical networks and could quote build artificial life forms using Laboratories where proteins are produced using DNA strings things already have to an extent the end result of building an all-powerful AI under present conditions
Would be the death of every single member of the human species and all biological life on Earth he warned now I would argue that we need to rethink this is my take and I’ll go into a few other things as well we need to rethink what we call a robot
When you understand the nature of a robot understand that it is merely an electronic system or an electronic infrastructure that is controlled by an artificial intelligence and understand how much of our society has now been diverted to be run by such systems the robot in other words could become the city itself
The robot for example could become the cars in the city and the computers in the city and the devices in the city all of which are part of the body of this artificial intelligence a decentralized robot in other words working through the networks that permeate all of these devices that is
What we have created already once you give that thing an intelligence and to some degree of autonomy who knows what it’s going to do think of like was it Hal 15 or what was it yeah some of you mentioned the 15-minute cities and so on yeah
Now we can also rethink of a we can also rethink a self-replicating robot because one of the one of the Doomsday scenarios as this person mentioned is once a robot once a robot can self-replicate once the AI can for example um even access Laboratories where it can create DNA strands and begin
Manufacturing its own species begin getting into you know biotechnology and such which is not is not an unforeseeable thing I could even for example imagine that researchers at some of these facilities might even see it as useful to allow an AI to gain control over this because you already see it for
Example with people doing code who are for example using chat GPT for putting putting in code for websites or or programs or even video games and having the chat having having the chat gpt4 actually it was it how how 9000 thank you having the AI system actually find
Co find errors within the code and perfect their code understand that when you get into biotechnology and these things it works in the same principles as coding just to a much more granular level and the amount of data processing that could be done with this could simplify that process to a huge extent
It’s not unforeseeable whatsoever that in the very short term you could have the scenario this individual is warning about where the AI could create even biotech biotechnology life forms but aside from that very sci-fi perspective we can look at what’s already taking place we can think of the body of an AI the
Robot being the society itself being the network of devices AI if it can create additional AIS would achieve the same result and you’ve actually already seen people who have programmed AI to one one person made a joke and told AI to destroy humanity and they put it on an automated
Automated thing where it’s operating autonomously now one of the first things it did was started programming its own AI meaning it has already entered a self-replicating loop and it’s already programming other AI to carry out tasks on its behalf in other words the AI is already self-replicating within the body
Of technology in which it currently exists now this brings about I think a bigger debate on one of the main problems Society is already facing and that I think we’ve been facing for a long time and I think most people are completely unaware of in my opinion probably one of the biggest problems
Facing Humanity right now and this is not new this has been happening for a long time and AI is going to make it significantly worse essentially what we’re living in right now is is to a degree a feedback loop of data and let me explain this understand one of the main ways that
Investment and Market data changed with the Advent of computers actually with the Advent of the internet from the early from the very early stages of the Advent of the internet one of the first things that was done was creating you know devices for market analysis and data and so on people used
It for advanced investment and things like this right uh different people in Wall Street make a whole lot of money having technologies that monitor Market data and speed up the task of investing or divesting or whatever else because you know if you think of the Wall Street Traders in the
Ground and AI an electronic system that can calculate data and do things very quickly can be more effective than any human Trader working on the floor of Wall Street that is already in place and has been in place for a very long time and so we can understand that markets
And investment to an extent are already run by Ai and they’ve been for decades understand now that markets the markets are informed by data collected by the AI and so the AI is basing its Investments off data what happens then when the data is also created by AI
This is when you get into the Realms of consumer feedback the feedback loop within what people want and what people buy this is entertainment it’s music it’s movies uh you know all these things that we we consume that we desire one of the reasons why Hollywood has
Become so utterly boring is because it’s all based on formulas one of the reasons why music seems so plastic these days is because a lot of it is AI generated a lot of it is not even being done by people anymore it’s Melodies and so on being developed by robots by by AI
And people of course just put you know clean it up essentially so in other words the data that informs the AI that controls the market is also now to an extent being run by Ai and what chat GPT does in these new AI coming out open AI is that it has
Increased the rate at which the information or the degree to which information is being generated by AI keep in mind that as things currently work AI is pulling from Human generated information to a large extent human generated news articles human generated studies human generated um you know books and scientific papers
And so on because of the lack of ability to compete within that market you’re now having journalists you know having scientific researchers you’re now having bloggers and social media people turning to AI to automate processes and do their work for them there are many people doing it already even if the company is
Not asking them to do it because they’re lazy and it makes their job easier we’re entering a state in other words where the data that AI is pulling from for its own analysis will all is also increasing being increasingly being generated by AI itself to the extent that
AI in the short term it’s been out from what I’ve read has already rep is already produced more information more books more pages more so on than the entire breadth of publishing in all of human history we’re living in other words already within an AI generated feedback
Loop and this is one of the big things I’m concerned about because the metric of what it provides on the consumer level on the market on the market level the things it tells businesses they should make the things it tells people based on let’s say analytics based on
Your social media presence and the ads you’re fed right a lot of that’s AI driven a lot of it’s machine learning and so the advertisements he might be shown a lot of that is being done in an automated fashion all of this is based on data and based
On this data it’s providing you with what you desire Now understand what that means the main metric of what is being provided by AI is human consumption and what that’s what drives the market of course right which then informs what it provides to us and then the market is
Determined essentially if we break it down the market is being determined by human desire as morality deteriorates as it feeds you these things more and more what humans desire is also going to degenerate meaning that what we want is going to be on a lower and lower moral threshold
And what AI is going to provide us is going to match what is the base of human desire
