A year and a half already. Thought progress had stopped? Think again, It hasn't.
Eleizer Yudkowsky believes true advanced AI will be our last invention and that it may be much closer than most people believe. I agree.
As soon as we understood a few years ago that following the invention of back propagation and transformers, AI was just a matter of scale, our fate was sealed.
Control, alignment and other such concepts are just words. In reality, you cannot control what is more intelligent than you are. Where you see a circle of possibilities, the AI will see a sphere and can therefore approach any problem from unknown angles. Except that instead of a sphere, there are 10s of dimensions and therefore unimaginably complex answers like tunneling through dimensions and other complex answers.
This may or may not be the end of mankind. This too is unknowable. One thing is certain, as soon as we are not anymore the dominant life form on this planet, the future will stop belonging to us. We will start seeing "things" happening which we will not understand. Neither cause, nor purpose. Just Magic. How far is this? 2030 at the latest.
The video is pessimistic. Still very interesting and raising important questions. Worth watching and thinking about.
