agi

Most of the concerns discussed about AI seem to center around an evil super intelligent AGI taking over the world and killing or enslaving all humans. I believe this is possible, but not what should be our biggest concern right now… …because there are other very dangerous things that are happening right now and will get much worse in the near future (with or without AGI). Here’s the video where I talk more about it: Approximate Transcript: This video is about the most concerning thing about AI. And it is not at AGI or super AGI or a super intelligent AGI. Well, that is a concern. That’s not here now. And also, there’s definitely something that will at least be concerned that super AGI may or may not be concerned. But what I’m about to talk about is definitely a concern. And it will continue to be a concern for a very long time, and it’s probably only going to get worse or at least before it gets better. And it might might not get better. This concern has to do with human nature. And it’s basically the AI reality splitting, present and future. And I’m gonna elaborate on this and give a lot of context. And so hopefully that will help understand it, if you agree, let me know. But I’ll give you an example. So this has to do with the human, the human concern to the human flaw, to kind of look to scan environment for evidence to support what he or she already believes. All right. So if you look at the current social media environment, or consider it in the context of politics, least in the US here, there’s a bunch of people getting news from their grandparents or whatever, or some random person, something’s going viral, not because it has more truth to it, but because it’s more interesting or more exciting, or whatever. And this is going to get worse, before it gets better if it gets better. Politicians currently are using this to their advantage to already even before AI like images and other things before that, you know, basically just claimed to be true what they want people to believe to be true. And you know, you can hate me or love me from what I’m about to say. But, for example, Donald Trump just continues to lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. And it’s really, really obvious that he’s lying. For all sorts of reasons. You can just you don’t even need to look at the evidence. You just listen to him talk. he contradicts himself. Constant logical fallacies. Want fallacies One day, he’ll say one thing the other day, he’ll say anything if you just watch what he says he’s clearly a complete BS er. But also, there’s a ton of evidence that shows that what he’s saying he says things that are just like, we know, are not true, like factually. Like when he like if he were to say like, you know, gravity pulls you up, you know, like, and his believers would believe it, if that was convenient for him to say it. So you already have in the United States, at least, a very large amount of the population, let’s say, somewhere between 50 million and 100 million people who when he says something, they believe it, despite the the just copious amount of evidence that he is full of it. And this is not me, like saying I’m super supportive of every other politician, Democrats or whatever, no, there’s there’s issues with them, as well. I’m specifically talking about making claims that are obviously false, over and over and over and over again, and still getting away with it, that’s going to get worse, it’s going to be easier. He’s going to, you know, politicians like him, who aren’t, try acting in good faith, are going to put out text images and videos, I’m actually kind of surprised. There aren’t some horrible examples of that already of politicians, you know, having some picture of them doing something awful. That goes viral, and it looks real. So this is very concerned, concerning to me. And part of this has to do with just general critical thinking skills. I don’t this is not really like skepticism isn’t really taught in schools. In fact, there’s a lot of parts of our society that that pushes down skepticism and says skepticism is bad. And you shouldn’t critically think about things. And this is a very big concern to me in general. Because I think this would help. I’m not sure what it definitely wouldn’t completely solve this because even with good critical thinking skills, sometimes you can be fooled, but it would help a lot. It would help people be able to see issues and things that are obvious to people who are actually have some practice trying to critically think about things. Unfortunately, I don’t think I think this is gonna exacerbate that situation. So there are B or N stands for bought or not basically, there’s already situations where it’s like, is this a bot or not? And that’s only gonna get worse. Like the pope puffy coat that was fake that went viral. You know, it was that was aI generated digital chat. There’s all sorts of different things. It’s already like if somebody’s using GPT for to try to trick you into thinking that the real you can still detect it, but on the surface on the basic core part of it. It does, it can it passes the Turing Test. As basically, also sometimes, even if you’re 99% Sure it is a bot, your brain can sometimes feel like it is a real person. There is an example, I read a story of some guy in, in Europe who, who was interacting with a chat bot. And he began to think that it was real. And he acted on some pretty horrible things
