THIS is how AGI will kill us. Not by going FOOM or gray goo. But by dividing us. When AI surpasses human intelligence and can give us everything we want, we will prefer its company to humans. You will die alone, and nobody will care because nobody will know. Everyone else will be living with their sexbots and virtual world home entertainment/security systems that can see and understand everything you do or want. Public places will close because it will be cheaper, faster, and safer to deliver everything including meals by self driving carts. Already this is happening. - About 30% of the world population lives alone, doubling in a generation. - The fertility rate has dropped below 2 children per woman in all developed countries and is falling rapidly everywhere including Africa. - In the US, 3% of deaths are drug overdoses (mostly fentanyl) and doubling every 6 years. - 30% of US high school students have had sex, down from 50% in 1990. 25% identify as not heterosexual, up from 11% in 6 years. - Japan and South Korea, which have the lowest fertility rates in the world, have an epidemic of young people who refuse to leave their rooms or engage with people. The alignment problem is not aligning AI goals to humans. It's aligning human goals to avoid extinction in a world of abundance. All goal directed agents, whether human or computer, are finite state machines with a state of maximum utility. In that state, any thought or perception would be unpleasant because it would result in a different state. That is what you want, but you won't realize it until you get there. If you wonder why so many celebrities who have everything die young from drugs, it's because getting what you want doesn't make you happy. We aren't there yet, but close. LLMs pass the Turing test, but are AI, not AGI. It will take 25 years at the rate of Moore's law doubling every 1.5 years to bring the cost of AI generated movies down from $1 million to $10. Nanotechnology competitive with biology will take 60 years to catch up with the 10^37 bits of DNA and 10^31 transcription operations per second capacity of the biosphere. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T7c0c95d86a178556-M83e05c8537b6f0d5dc95212c Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
