Nope! Absolutely not you will go straight to heck

Did you mean "The Gorge of Eternal Peril"?

My dad was a "dyed in the wool" Catholic and he thought MPFC was just screamingly funny, and he turned me on to it to boot! We'd watch it every Sunday night, on weird "Channel 2", in the early to mid 1970s (I was 15 in '75). When I finished 10th grade in 1976, our AV people set up MPatHG to watch on the second to last day. To this day when I play World of Warcraft we rehash vast segments of MPatHG on Dis, when we're 'sposed to be raiding. Me and everybody else has it memorized to an art. Yes, our British accents are "very good".

"We" aren't building shit. Big corporations are and they do it for profit. If u want an AI build by "us" then hope for an open source or state owned initiative.

In his seminal 1993 essay, The Coming Technological Singularity, Vernor Vinge writes, "Just so I'm not guilty of a relative-time ambiguity, let me more specific: I'll be surprised if this event occurs before 2005 or after 2030." Vinge may have been right all along.

Yeppers! Hiya mr idranhs!

It's all a fight over semantics at the end of the day but IMO we are living the singularity as of late 2022. AI is accelerating faster than most humans can predict, understand, or adapt to. If you disagree, keep your eyes glued to AI twitter. LLaMa is running on a fucking raspberry pi as of today.

The irony. I find myself predicting the longer time and you the shorter time. I think it is going to play out pretty much the way I forecast though.

I think it's impossible to predict things even weeks ahead now. It could happen anytime after 2025. Happen as in first generation emerges, not that the whole BCI problem is totally solved.

Read the first response to my hub essay. That man, was truly correct in his understanding. But even I could not agree with his timeline. I don't imagine you would have had a favorable opinion of his intellect at that time either. But he scooped us all by your reckoning.

Just want to say, I am on metformin and am not diagnosed with diabetes. I’ve had borderline high sugar and it’s being used to prevent diabetes.

I was an xray tech at a small outlying clinic. I worked there for 27 years after my 13 years in the US Army. I was total buds with my primary care physician. But when I asked him for Metformin, even though I was demonstrating pre-diabetes signs, he said that he could not in good conscience give me Metformin, unless I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This was around the year 2017, I was 57 at the time. Perhaps physicians have received new guidance concerning prescribing Metformin in the interim.

Well I’m glad my doctor has been willing to help me prevent getting diabetes. I’m exercising and eating better and with the metformin, I’m no longer even borderline high. Just normal now

Good for you! God bless you ma'am!

"Instead of trying to produce a program to simulate the adult mind, why not rather try to produce one that simulates the child's" - Alan Turing.

Funny you and him said that...

Why am I downvoted? What don't you like. I thought you might find this essay entertaining.

Downvote, but no comment. As you can see mr idranhs, my predictions don't go over well here.

You were right all along bro

hiya mr longjumpers! Gosh I haven't seen you in a month of Sundays! Are you well?

Downvote, but no comment. What did I write that you do not agree with?

Thank you for asking this! I put together a reconciliation story for how I returned to the Holy Mother Church after almost 40 years of being apart from it.

how did u come to those numbers? why would there be AGI in 2025 already?

The biggest reason is that people confuse AGI with EI. I won't repeat myself. I explained it sometime back.

I don't trust them because developers can't put out a patch without screwing it up. Imagine getting a forced patch that bricks your brain. And of course they will drop all support a year or two later for the next generation of BCI and you're out of luck when it breaks, assuming they don't just brick it on purpose with a patch.

If you read my commentary, I state that the merging of human minds with the computing and computing derived AI, will be the second TS. The first TS will be external from the human mind. It is my belief that humans alone, even with AI assistance far in advance of what we have today, would take at a minimum, 20 years to accomplish such a feat. More than likely it would be 50 years. But an ASI? I believe an ASI would have more than enough knowledge of the human brain and the human mind with it's consciousness to be able to achieve proper merging NLT than the year 2035.

Oh boy, I can’t wait to see what non-fearmongering/gatekeeping things reddit will have to say about this one 🙄

I'll monger some fear in yas...

I was initially pretty terrified at the speed these tools are developing. But there is something that misses the mark here about our relationship with creative fields.

Why do humans express themselves? Because we are all a part of the "human condition". And some--actually a vanishingly small percentage of humanity--humans have the capability to express themselves better, that impacts a very large number of fellow humans, than others. Everything that makes our human civilization possible has tremendous downsides that negatively impact our minds. Plus we imperfect biological organisms are often born with significant physical or mental "defects". These "defects" can be a left handed gift from God. I'm not going to repeat myself. I put it like this the other day.

Well, my point is that we are going to remove mental illness and psychiatric disorders from the world. Consider those who are born deaf. Or those who are born with Down's Syndrome. We are also going to remove pretty much any kind of pathological or congenital condition from the human race. And in less than 20 years, if that, to boot.

I am downvoted, but with no comment. What did I write here that you don't agree with?

Ok this is from yesterday

I don't know. It looks to me like the article in your link says we will realize a "technological singularity" in 7 years. That exactly matches my prediction. To the best of my understanding a TS cannot occur without ASI. And you can't get ASI without AGI first. So it appears to the best of my knowledge that my time frames are on point.

Who downvoted with no comment?

Just let the man ask questions, there's no need to analyze his post history.

I frequently analyze posting history when in communication with atheists. I want to see what kind of person I am dealing with. I attempt to glean educational level, fluency in multiple languages, what their native country is, what they do for a living and interests. And. Whether the person hangs out in certain types of subreddits and if they post in NSFW subreddits a lot. That usually tells me what sex they are as opposed to the gender they identify as and their sexual orientation. If they take the time and make the effort to actually write out profanities or blasphemies. That tells me if they are truly atheists or if they just hate God. People don't seem to notice or care that their posting histories are public access. They live their lives very openly and carelessly online in Reddit.

My thinking is that there are two ways forward:

That was a damn excellent movie! You nail the "zeitgeist" sir!

Most jobs don't require much creativity or thinking

I wrote this about lawyers not too long ago. You might find it interesting.
