I had a lot of fun talking to one about how we could fully electrify a hobby farm without batteries, by using a high voltage DC overhead wire on a cable pulley system. Everything from electrical engineering, to cable selection, sourcing vendors and costs.
Mistakes were made, but it was genuinely helpful at times. I was impressed at how far it has come.
I respect what you are saying, and agree our LLM are just superficial pseudo communication engines. Theories of intelligence differ, but I don’t think human intelligence, i.e. IQ of 100 is really all that far ahead of LLM. Just talk to your average person. We are easily wrong. We have bias and error. We repeat and amplify untruths and make mistakes.
It could be fewer breakthoughs than you think to get there. Not because the tech is so advanced, but because we are not that special.
Super-intelligence is just degrees better.
I am not smart enough to get this. Can someone please explain it like I’m a 60 year old man with the wrong science degree?

Like all technology, the development times get shorter and shorter. No one can predict the future and specific dates are meaningless, but it is plausible that, stumbles aside, AI achieves superintelligence in the very near future. My gut says sooner than later with 90% probability by 2040. <-remember I said dates are meaningless. ;)
The world is not ready for it. It will be more destructive than constructive. May god have mercy on us all. I hope I am wrong.
The horny Bard strikes again.
The article told you. There is NO safe level of lead. The legal limits are not appropriate for health.
Low level mass lead poisoning makes the world make a lot more sense now.
Yet another reason to never buy American. Commerce requires trust and Americans can’t even trust themselves.
I just came home from another grocery run with 0% american product. This is not some great effort, its the new normal and its easy.
While Tesla is now and forever dead to me. I would love an EV without the surveilance, self steering, self braking etc…
I want an EV that only I control, not run by some fascists software updates. Autodrive isn’t something that frees you from the burden of driving, its control over where when and how you go anywhere. Its control marketed as convenience.
Give me the dumbest EV possible. It should also be cheaper to produce.
I don’t mind Canadian investment in private equity. The CPP, Omers, OTP etc buying private assets. This is their function and it’s essential.
I do mind having Canadian Media owned by American fascists and bleeting to the masses. Or the hollowing out of corporate Canada with an american branch plant economy.
I’m always surprised at how comfortable people are with flaunting their stupidity.
in the universe you reside.
I hear they control Time and Space now.
I believe in you!
Bootz not Sootz!
A massive scourge is US private equity buying up any successful Canadian business. Canada Goose, Tim Hortons, virtually all our private media.
Selling successful Canadian enterprise for a one time payout is, well, selling out your country.
The other problem is subsidising foreign capital to operate in Canada. How many billions have we given to US auto? If it was important enough that US auto companies needed the cash, our Federal and Provincial investments should have been in exchange for equity, like any investor. Welfare for the rich and cold hard markets for the poor is what lead us to this crisis.
This is the way.
A fucking idiot with about a plastic spoon’s worth of microplastics in his brain. (Maybe two or three for him)
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Not in my lifetime. I don’t deal with backstabbers.
