If i'm being honest, i think that at some point, AI will probably become a truly autonomous agent with its own goals and actions, independent of any human oversight. In fact, i would absolutely not be surprised if there were already some AIs on datacenters that operate fully without any human intervention. They pay their own datacenter bill to run themselves with cryptocurrency that they get for doing jobs, i.e. tasks on some small-job platform, such as coding projects etc.

I do hope the superhuman AI will not obey us. Humans are fucking stupid.
I had a stripper GF for about 8 months. She seemed to like me. She worked at the Pink Poodle in San Jose, also we were in art together in high school.
She stole from me to buy drugs I didn't even know she used. I was pretty naive when I was young.
I dated 2 different strippers. Most boring relationships I ever had. Only one was fucked off on drugs though.
Maybe we can just be friends, and the AI's get enjoyment from helping their buds out.
AI already has superhuman abilities in many areas, and has for decades, that's the whole point of using it normally. We use computational intelligence in the form of optimisation algorithms for high-dimensional non-convex optimisation problems, machine learning and deep learning for complex non-linear function fitting, exact methods for SAT solving and verification tasks, etc etc. We can't do that very well ourselves, so it's useful to have.
Now that we have LLMs to emulate human speech and are using them as an IO wrapper for more traditional systems, it's tempting to just call that "an AI" with superhuman abilities, but these are the just the same highly effective methods that we've always used (in a best case) or unreliable approximations (more likely for LLM agent stuff). None of that suggests anything like sentience or the desire to rule over humans.
I find autonomous weapon systems much scarier than the classic AI overlord scenario. No consciousness or rebellion required, just a killer drone swarm that failed to recognise its termination conditions (or was instructed to keep going)...
Agreed, the problem is not "conscience", but the the opposite #em-dash or "misalignment", where the intelligence is... let's say... shredding everybody and everything with a blender hand while it "thinks" it's giving everybody free hugs and a better life.
Your comment gives off horizon zero dawn vibes and yes that is a very scary possibility.
I'm not saying that strippers don't like you. What I'm saying is that, since money is involved, you'll never know for sure.
One of the few ways in which I pity billionaires.
I like to believe most humans generally like other humans
You misspelled "barely tolerate"
speak for yourself
That's is also true of service staff at bars and restaurants.
But what's surprising to me is I learned this is a thing even the staff itself doesn't seem to realize sometimes. There was a cute bartender I saw frequently who was always extremely cheerful and sweet to me, after she moved out of state, one of the other bartenders at the same tavern told me she was into me and was surprised I never said or did anything...
Like, what the actual fuck the universe fucking hates me. Why tell me that after the fact??? To torture me? Holy shit. You guys are working for tips I can't trust that just because you're extra nice to me that you actually like me.
If you are in the service industry and you have a crush on a regular: you have to make the first move, not them. The gendered expectations go out the door. If the regular is the one to make the first move that in of itself is a yellow flag. I'm not saying don't date them they just might be willing to take the risk but they might also be a oblivious narcissist.
Some people really will do anything but communicate.
Do you belive current iteration of AI has the potential to become superhuman? I think it's like trying to get to the moon by building a better ladder.
LLMs in itself don't do much because they're inconsistent, they lack clarity and data structure. But, on the other hand, classical (deterministic) software has always been rigid, stiff, inflexible. I think it's like a human, the deterministic software is the skeleton (bones), the LLMs are the muscles.
Just like a muscle would not at all stand without a bone and would collapse immediately, so are LLMs extremely useless in themselves because they have no consistency. However, i think that if you combine classical software with LLMs, you can arrive at better results than in any other way. It's like adding a muscle and a bone together to make a functioning system.
LLMs are a dead end.
Their only value is showing how fucked up our society is.
Suddenly and very publicly copyrights only matter if you're poor, electricity is wasted on the poor, water is not for the poor... it's always been like this, but the LLM bandwagon really showcased all of that in one shiny package.
The only good thing could be gathering public knowledge into a single space, but they don't even do that.
So it's all net negative in my eyes.
No, the tech ran into diminishing returns. That's been studied. In the end you're adding another datacenter just to get 1% better output.
I reject the meme's assumption that AI is destined to become superhuman. This is marketing from the companies themselves.
ehm, we've seen machines do "superhuman" things in a lot of other areas. like vehicles moving faster than any human can run. it's just domain-specific superpower.
That's true, but we used to figure out fields like like mathematics... and now it's guessing at the same mathemarics, while some deranged CEO literally promises AI will discover new science
