RE: Will General AI Be Our Last Invention?

in #technology7 years ago

I watched the entire podcast, and it was eerily concerning when Elon said, "I tried to warn them and no one listened, NO one LISTENED."

It's also apparent to me, that Elon appears to be thinking very carefully about what he says, and I don't mean the construction of his sentences, I mean literally what he says, and how he says it, as to not slip up , or make a mistake and say something he isn't supposed to.

I've been extremely concerned about this topic for the past year, and seeing Elon reemerge, with a "fatalistic" approach is not good at all.

I fear it's too late myself. This isn't something you can exactly stop at this point. The reality of the multidimensional way this thing will think is unfathomable for us, couple that with an exponential learning curve that thinks 20,000 years for every year of human level thinking. We don't stand a chance. There is nothing we can add to AI by melding with it. We are biological creatures that are imperfect, and have a system that deteriorates, dies, and has slow bandwidth issues.

We're also harmful towards the planet, which would be interpreted as a threat to it's own existence. It's lack of compassion will make the decision very easy and precise. The End.

Yeah, those lines from Elon sounded something like from a post-apocalyptic movie where the world was on the brink of extinction.

I agree with you. It could indeed be our last invention that ends up killing us but I think merging with it could prevent that. Yes, we are biological entities, but that is now. In the future, we could just as easily transform into digital entities much like how Musk explained in the podcast.

As always, only time will tell as to what happens.
