Like 2001: A Space Odyssey’s HAL 9000, some AIs seem to resist being turned off and will even sabotage shutdown

    How much do you think Altman paid for this slop “AGI is right around the corner” bit to get published?

      Less than the Chinese government has spent on AI.

      AI may not be around whatever corner you are at but even USA’s Wall Street AI bubble bursting isn’t going to stop the push for AI.

      For USA it’s just money. For China they see it as more. Just like solar, batteries, EVs, and androids.

        Machine learning is an extremely useful technology that will be used for generations to come and has allowed for multiple advancements before chatGPT was a household name. “AI” is a marketing term used by businesses that dreams of an absurd future where labor is obsolete. Capitalism cultists are so enamored with the idea of getting rid of workers that they’re pouring trillions into projects that will never produce what they want. As wiser countries simply use machine learning as a productivity enhancing tool, they’ll pull so far ahead of the US that it’ll never catch up.

        We’re about to witness the biggest redistribution of global wealth and power the world has ever seen. Instead of simply settling into a role as one of many major powers in a multipolar world, America gave up because the rich wanted more than everything.
