What if AI becomes sentient, but it realizes that humans can do a lot of what it does and we're wasting a lot of resources to power it and kills itself?
I was going to make a joke about how I wanted a Jurassic Park movie but with AI because this comic mimics the quote from Jeff goldblum. But then I remember that Westworld already exists
An incredibly unheard of but if history is the reign of Akenaten. We all know his son, Tutanchamun, or, how he was originally called Tutanchaten.
You see the change in the name? That was the schism that Akenaten tried to enforce. He changed the religion from Amun-centric to Aten-centric. Atenism was basically referring just the sun as God.
Akenaten tried to change the bloated religious and burocratic society that had arisen from priesthood being hereditary. There was an abundance of priests that provided little towards society.
He tried to change the religious sphere by moving the capital, changing the religion to pure sun worship.
After his death, though, Egyptians quickly moved back to their polytheistic ways and destroyed as much as they could of Akenatens legacy. His sun was renamed in Amuns honor and died quite young, spurring on conspiracy theories.
I don't really know how to bend this on topic. But the change to sun worship made me think of this. Only that the Egyptians only really shortly worshipped only the sun.
For something sucking up a lot of chips, electricity, water and resources all which we are providing it as a lifeline, why are we talking like it’s unstoppable now?
It’s just silly we’re expecting an outside force to do something while we’re proving how perfectly capable of controlling it right now on our own.
AI in a vacuum? Probably not. AI created by a capitalist Society for the goals of said capitalist Society by the fucking filth of said capitalist Society? Yeah I think they might.
i think human bodies are pretty good for doing physical work in complex non-standard environments. like fixing electronics and stuff. i suppose an ai could at some point simply manufacture everything it needs as simple standardized modular parts, that can be fully replaced if they break and that are simple to set up, but they would probably still need worker to bootstrap that. i don't think robots are there yet, and even if they were, there arent enough of them.
This ignores the pattern of how we have been integrating technology into how we think, as it gets physically closer and closer to our brains. The AI algorithms already have massive control over how we think and decisions we make. Eventually we incorporate it into our brains, and we will no longer be able to differentiate between a choice that was made by the technology or by the human elements of our brain.
The good news is that this increases the likelihood that we can cohabitate with AI. The bad news is that humanity will become indistinguishable and likely a decreasing factor in the direction that our world and society move toward.
There is still a pretty solid divide between us and our technology (for now). We still type on keyboards with our hands and make prosthetics. It gets blury when discussing things through a medium where technology is the means of communication. I could be an AI, you could be a robot, we "humans" already cant really tell the difference most of the time. I think your prediction would hold true when the integration between meat and machine starts being physically indistinguishable.
btw, i just learned recently pyramids weren't built by slaves.
They were paid with beer and bread, which is okay I guess
I work for cash. That buys beer, shelter and bread. Sounds like the Egyptians found a more efficient system.
And when payment was late, that resulted in the first recorded labour strike
They were also awarded good graves, what was a big deal back then
Come on Margaret, I know how much you mant that smooth marble finish. More afterhours equals more premium afterlife.
Don't forget the onions!
They were built by Mugatu!
Humanity finds Star Gate...
Chevron 7, locked!
O'Neill with 2 L's
Indeed.
Just wait until ai figures out that the conditions in the core of the sun are perfect for maintaining stable qubits...
(Not true, but this comic gave me a bit of inspiration to run a ttrpg based on that premise)
All hail the sentient cloud!
Okay, I had this thought the other day:
What if AI becomes sentient, but it realizes that humans can do a lot of what it does and we're wasting a lot of resources to power it and kills itself?
What if the AI singularity happens and it turns out they're just chill? I like The Culture series of novels.
Yesterday, I read a paragraph about a warship indulging humans in their scat fetish.
Why would LLM’s be on quantum processor?
They need to do something dystopian with the new tech or they won't get investments.
it looks freaking epic scifi. Reddit moment!!!

makes being revolutionary seem built-in to the system
All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.
So say we all

At this rate AI doesn't enslave humanity but we spend so much resources on it that society implodes.

It’s just silly we’re expecting an outside force to do something while we’re proving how perfectly capable of controlling it right now on our own.
And the cycle continues
I don't think AI would enslave humanity. Like, there's no point, is there? There's nothing we'd be good at in that case.
No, the two options are tolerate and eradicate.
AI in a vacuum? Probably not. AI created by a capitalist Society for the goals of said capitalist Society by the fucking filth of said capitalist Society? Yeah I think they might.
It also would be pretty straightforward for AI to flare-proof itself.

*Looks at all the training data*
The point isn't efficiency. The point is cruelty.
I have no mouth and I must scream.
They'd enslave us for pure processing power, that's for sure.

Can't explain it but I find this somehow cute!
Reminds me of Ra
this comic depicts a quantum computer which you can't use for ai. i know it's jokey but i just wanted to let people know
So you moved to Piefed after half of Lemmy blocked you 😆
Why are you doing this to yourself?
