Spoken (twice) like a person without it.

Unintelligent people have been confusing verisimilitude with intelligence since at least Eliza.

This is a more convincing imitation but it still isn't thought.

The non-AGI AI we have now can already hack into other systems. That's easier than thinking. Think about that.

I'm sure you think so.

So are they MTG fans who believe in liberal weather control satellites or what? Are Jewish space lasers causing the warm weather?

Did you manage to get one without the stupid extra cuts in the head?

Better, worse, either way it's unsustainable so there's no point comparing the two things we need to stop doing and start looking at something viable unlike either of them.

Ethanol fuel is a) barely energy positive and b) a topsoil depleter which is c) fertilized with synthetics derived from petroleum anyway. It's shit all the way down.

Explain why we need nuclear when it's the most expensive option and we would get more output with lower lifetime emissions with solar and wind, and build them quicker as well.

So it isn't except that it is? Cool story bro.

That's nothing, the i8 looks like it's shitting a Porsche

For me they are usually going a very normal speed. Maybe around here they figured out how to activate cruise control. (The number of drivers who truly need to learn that is very sad.)

As a franchise, Bejeweled has to have been enormously profitable. Costs are low. I still play 3 sometimes.

Look up "Jagged capabilities". That's where we are so far. And if you go back a couple of decades, a calculator could do math a lot faster and more accurately than you could.

A claim of "AGI" is a claim that the weakest of it's jagged capabilities is still stronger than that of the average human, and I don't believe we'll see that this year.

Expect a time delay. Some have hypothesized that it will happen overnight, but to me this has always seemed unreasonable. I expect a transition period of years. Being an AGI doesn't automatically generate the CPU cycles.

He already said they aren't having kids, that IS being part of the solution. Don't the conservatives who think it's all the people's fault as if they make the rules say we should all be reducing our carbon footprints? Well, they are! You should be happy!

We have NOT had AGI, and I'll be really surprised if the OpenAI offering is one. What we've had is tools that are very good for certain specialized tasks. One characteristic that all of the tasks it's be exceptionally good at is that it's easy to validate the answer after you get it. (P == NP?)

When you get to tasks that aren't easy to validate, then it gets a LOT weaker. And you've to to be certain that it isn't just fabulating...i.e. giving you an answer because you asked it to do so, even though it doesn't have a good guess at what the answer should be.

Note that, e.g., AIs that generate protein folding predictions aren't necessarily accurate, they're giving you a best guess, or a series of probable guesses. I'm not counting those as "easy to validate", because currently the AI, itself, can't do the validation. But they're quite useful, as the good models do about as well as a human expert, but a lot faster and cheaper...however you must NOT skip the validation step. (People can't make accurate predictions in this domain either.)
