Hey, wait...
We get rid of some problems, and we get a bunch of new problems instead. And on, and on, and on.
Chickens are killed ALL the time. It’s a recurring mass event. If you were a smart chicken you could see that pattern and put it into a formula.
In contrast, the end of Humanity would be a singular event. It’s even in the name…
And that is fiction / speculation in comparison. It’s not backed by any data. Human survival over 300,000 years by contrast is.
I mean it’s fine to dream things up, but let’s be fair and call it what it is.
It's funny that you think we know what happened to humans anymore than a chicken knows what happened to chickens.
We don’t know how this will play out. It never happened before. Same with the chicken above.
Let’s not nitpick here. Worldwide human suffering and tragedy is equivalent to the end of humanity for most.
We can sit here and armchair while in the most prosperous, comfortable era of human history. But we also have to recognize that this era is a blip of time in history. That is a lot of data showing humanity surviving sure. But it’s also a very small amount of data showing any kind of life most would want to live in.
We urge you to build and deploy weapons of your own unique design.
I like to do it.
>You won't think or analyze or understand. The LLM will do that.
The clear lack of analysis seems to be your issue.
>This is the end of your humanity. Ultimately, the end of our species.
Doubtful.
I can't see it. We have LLMs now and none of that applies to me. I find them quite handy as a sort of enhanced Google search though.
The problem isn’t in the thinking machines, it’s in who owns them and gets our rent. We need open source models running on dirt cheap hardware.
Anyone predicting the "end of humanity" is playing prophet and echoing the same nonsensical prophecies we heard with the invention of the printing press, radio, TV, internet, or a number of other step-change technologies.
There's a false premise built into the assertion that humanity can even end - it's not some static thing, it's constantly evolving and changing into something else.
> I only know seven sci-fi films and shows that have warned about how this will go badly.
and
> Pretty sure this was the prologue to Gattaca.
and
> I posted a youtube link to the Gattaca prologue in a similar post on here. It got flagged. Pretty sure it's virtually identical to the movie's premise.
I think the ironic thing in the LLM case is that these people have outsourced their reasoning to a work of fiction and now are simple deterministic parrots of pop culture. There is some measure of humor in that. One could see this as simply inter-LLM conflict with the smaller LLMs attempting to fight against the more capable reasoning models ineffectively.
Following that logic… the closest problem would be literally inbetween their ears.
