    AGI Will Never Happen, and Superintelligence Is a Fantasy

    • The dead eyed guys say it's going to happen if you keep filling up the infinite money machine.PhanLo
    • It’s definitely happening though.monospaced
    • you have evidence, mono?NBQ00
    • We're still not even clear on what consciousness is. And if we can’t define consciousness, we can’t define agency (the one thing AGI should have).palimpsest
    • I’m not against AGI. I just think we’re missing the conceptual foundation to know what we’re even aiming at.palimpsest
    • Consciousness isn’t defined yet but not in a way the sciences agree on. So calling something AGI feels premature, not impossible.palimpsest
    • I think the simplest definition is an AI that can generalize and learn new things from scratch rather than needing an internet's worth of training data.yuekit
    • AGI or not.... +4°C till 2035....the planet is gonna burnneverscared
    • And the idea is once this happens things could hit a tipping point, like with Kurzweil's idea of the Singularity, where the AI surpasses humans, it startsyuekit
    • improving itself like in the movie Transcendence starring Johnny Depp and either we all die or we live forever, cancer is cured, global warming is solved etc.yuekit
    • The singularity isn't happening here. We'd need a billionaire mass extinction event for further societal progress.garbage
    • I don’t think “true consciousness” and agi are the same thing.monospaced
    • I’m not calling anything agi yet. But it’s going to happen. I’m pretty confident that is coming sooner than expected.monospaced
    • I’m more than half way into the doomer camp too, and I’m not sure “we” should be striving for something that has so much potential for harm.monospaced
