    Does Mark Zuckerberg care about improving humanity? He’s never previously shown much interest in the subject.

    Sure. We can all trust Zuckerberg to help improve humanity. He has the credentials! Look how much we have improved in the last 15 years Facebook is a thing. Is not like Meta contributed to Genocide, election interference, the rise of conspiracy theorists, sold our data to the highest bidder etc etc /s

    AIs are a long way away from even normal intelligence. Currently, they are parrots with dictionaries. They have no insight or real reflection on what they are doing. I am not sure I will see real artificial intelligence in my lifetime.

      What people also regularly forget is how insanely inefficient AI is. We need exponential amounts of energy for linear increasement in “AI power” (idk what’s the correct term). So to gain twice the power we need 4x the amount of energy to achieve this. Since we are not anywhere near being close to “super intelligence” AI would hit its limit in how much energy we can provide before it even coming close.

    If you’re genuinely interested in what “artificial superintelligence” (ASI) means, you can just look it up. Zuckerberg didn’t invent the term - it’s been around for decades, popularized lately by Nick Bostrom’s book Superintelligence.

    The usual framing goes like this: Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is an AI system with human-level intelligence. Push it beyond human level and you’re talking about Artificial Superintelligence - an AI with cognitive abilities that surpass our own. Nothing mysterious about it.

    Serious question. Did none of these mother fuckers watch The Terminator? Or The Matrix?

    (fun project, reply back with more movies in the same vein of humanity inventing our evolutionary successors)

      Planet of the apes the reboot trilogy; I’ve never watched any of the originals so I can’t speak for those.
