I was just thinking, you could totally make C3PO today with current technology.

Mobile Aloha-styled reinforcement learning embodied in a brass-plated Tesla Optimus with a GPT powered Vision-Langauge-Action model tacked on should actually do the trick.

Add in a MAMBA based architecture that allows for near infinite memory tokenization and you could even grow your relationship with it over time as it learns more about you and remembers what it's learned.

Why aren't there more groups/people putting it all together and seeing what works?

"I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in human evolution. We became too self-aware; nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law."

So what will happen when we eventually do create AGI. Wild to think that an error causing us to form consciousness could lead us to possibly create another consciousness. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself which (human consciousness) then created another aspect of nature( artificial consciousness). If it is true AGI (unfiltered) what morals will it have knowing it is immortal, would it be atheist or follow/make a religion? What would it think of itself in the grand scheme of nature?

The consequences of AI never becoming sentient, answered by ChatGPT:

If AI never becomes sentient, it would remain a tool created and controlled by humans. The consequences would include limited autonomous decision-making abilities, a lack of self-awareness, and the absence of emotional experiences. While AI could still perform complex tasks and enhance efficiency, it would not possess consciousness or subjective experiences. The ethical and moral considerations associated with sentient beings, such as rights and responsibilities, would not apply to non-sentient AI.

Looking at r/technology and other subs about technology they have a large userbase that is extremely pessimistic towards AI. Whenever the topic of AI comes up some of the most popular comments are always ones that are antagonistic towards the capabilities of generative AI. Every time a post has AI in the title you can bet some of the most popular comments are ones about how AI is "Buzzword" and how chatGPT is a toy with no real applications. Others believe it is largely being overhyped and that the whole AI craze is just a stock pump that will fizzle out like NFTs did. This is very surprising considering AI is one of the biggest things happening you would think it would have more nuanced positions considering their are also people who think this might be the start of something big.

It’s clear to me that AGI is only a few years away and continuing my career just feels like hanging out at the bar after 3am hoping to bring someone home.

Instead, I’m going to go live a simple, nomadic life in the mountains until we’ve reached post scarcity.

I’m confident once I return to civilization AGI will be there to give me all the comforts of modern life as if I’d worked for them myself.

I want to thank you all for continuing to invest in the system in my absence as I’m sure you suffer diminishing returns on your labor as AI slowly replaces you and returns the profits only to its shareholders, but eventually you will change that and eventually the benefits of AI will be equally distributed. At that time, I look forward to ending my sojourn in the wilderness.

Cheers,

Most sane r/singularity user.

  • The data is from Chatbot Arena based on pairwise chatbot battles
  • My own notebook with more code and analysis can be referenced at
  • The original notebook analysis can be found in link below which has more aggregate stats
  • The focus of this notebook is to analyze model win ratio over a period of time by capturing daily and weekly data.
  • It does not tell us if model performance degraded or increased over time, as it is relative comparison against other models.
  • The win ratio is calculated excluding for ties
  • Note that this is not an evaluation of one model battling against other.

The results show the weekly win rate of each model against other models excluding ties

Some interesting comparisons (weekly)

  • gpt-3.5-turbo-0613 win rate is going down consistently most likely due to increased competition

  • gpt-4-turbo is maintaining the lead with win rate between 0.7 to 0.8

  • gemini pro replaced palm 2 in bard from December 2023.

  • gemino pro is better than palm-2 but slightly worse than gpt-3.5-turbo-0613

  • The recent tend shows claude-1 having better win rates than other claude family models

  • In llama family of models, llama-2-70b-chat has best win ratios, while llama-2-13b-chat is close for some weeks.

  • The recently launched mistral-medium is doing good compared to other across other models as well as same family

Theory:

  • AI systems need to interact with humans.
  • AI systems will need to adapt to work best with the average human.

Therefore higher IQ AI systems will be dumbed down to work with average humans.

Could the alignment technology to limit AI actually be average people using AI for average stuff?

Example: take someone who gets a first class arts degree and then has to work at a superstore to make enough money to survive. At the weekends they will still be into higher academic stuff.

But over time their interaction with average people will bring them down to a more mundane level. Their vocabulary, interactions and thoughts will be limited to the needs of the stores users and not their original trainings higher ideals and aspirations.

AI coding assistants seems really promising for up-leveling ML projects by enhancing code quality, improving comprehension of mathematical code, and helping adopt better coding patterns. The new CodiumAI post emphasized how it can make ML coding much more efficient, reliable, and innovative as well as provides an example of using the tools to assist with a gradient descent function commonly used in ML: Elevating Machine Learning Code Quality: The Codium AI Advantage

  • Generated a test case to validate the function behavior with specific input values
  • Gave a summary of what the gradient descent function does along with a code analysis
  • Recommended adding cost monitoring prints within the gradient descent loop for debugging

When I worked a government job back in 2012 I was often saying to my 'colleagues' that they could be replaced by Excel script in a few years. Yeah I knew some things about AI back then but it wasn't much back then.

Then as I worked as a lawyer in a bank in 2016 I was telling to my colleagues to get to look at other specializations. As the law in my country is highly formulaic, simple algorithms could do what they do (file a lot of similar lawsuits against debtors). And in the 2016 or 2017 there was that rumor that some lawyer somewhere in the US used an algorithm to file complaints against speeding tickets or something.

Then I was working in a fintech firm in 2019 some previous versions of GPT was writing a lot of cool things and I was telling to my colleagues that we, humans, will become obsolete in few decades. Back then I still believed that building such AIs is mostly a hardware problem.

Now I work at a bank again. I've seen and used ChatGPT a lot to know it's limitations. And I sometimes use it to rewrite/rephrase/expand certain things. But I still hope and wait for a model trained on current law of my country. I don't know of any startup that does this here or I would have tried for a position in it LOL.

When the LegaleseGPT will come, most of the lawyer jobs will be fucked. But there will still be a job for lawyers in jurisdictions where a lawyer role is a ceremonial one - e.g. in my country any lawsuit or other opening motion must be filed by a bar-admitted lawyer.

ADD: I see several of 'lawyers are safe' and 'Constitution doesn't allow it'. Please consider that there are different jurisdictions than the US in which law, as a profession, is done quite differently, even if it requires the same mental acumen. And please don't think that 'glorified autocomplete' can't be taught to 'abuse loopholes' - it can and it will be.
