One of the things that terrifies me the most about AI, at least
on a psychological level, is how it’ll empower misinformation so
much as to make it virtually unstoppable:
HTML https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtificialInteligence/comments/13sh5mq/very_scared_for_when_ai_generated_videos_come_out/
The gentile who posted this predictably turned it into an us vs
them, or more specifically, male vs female thing:
--- Quote ---
> Very scared for when AI generated videos come out. Imagine a
girl makes a video or a voice recording on her phone of you
threatening to beat her up using AI generated voices and sends
it around social media.
--- End Quote ---
But another commenter with more foresight points out the REAL
issue:
--- Quote ---
> AI means the end of reliably documented events. There's just
no way around it, sadly. There is no longer any objective reason
for anyone to believe anything anybody tells them from now on.
The "post-truth" era is real and it's here.
>
> What that really means is we can no longer afford to assume
any organized system of authority has our best interests in
mind.
--- End Quote ---
And they’re right. The gentile fear that “corrupt SJW women”
will screw over men with this technology is unfounded and
completely myopic, because AI generated misinformation in the
form of pictures and videos will be so widespread, that nobody
will be inclined to believe anything anymore. That’s what
society should really be fearing here.
This isn’t something that we can even afford to push out of our
minds, because CONVINCING AI GENERATED PHOTOS ARE ALREADY HERE.
People are already being fooled into thinking that AI generated
photos are real, and it’s getting genuinely hard to near
impossible to tell which photos are normal and which are
products of AI, especially when you’re using the current top of
the line programs, and know how to create good prompts for them.
As for AI generated videos? While those are still far from
convincing at this point, they DO exist, as rudimentary as they
currently are. And mark my words, they will become as advanced
as AI generated photos currently are, very quickly. I predict
within the next 2 years or so. Maybe even sooner. There’s a
reason why it’s called the singularity. The more this technology
progresses, the more rapidly technology will progress as a
whole.
Where is the Butlerian Jihad when you need one?

Latest AI could eliminate 300 million jobs over the next decade,
and women would be hit the hardest
--- Quote ---
> The latest generative AI products — think ChatGPT, Bing Chat
and Bard — could replace the equivalent of 300 million full-time
jobs over the next decade, according to a new report by Goldman
Sachs.
>
> And even though men outnumber women in the workforce, it is
the women whose jobs are at far greater risk of being lost to
automation. The reason is fairly straightforward: the jobs at
higher risk of elimination are knowledge worker positions, as
generative AI will have much less impact on jobs that require
physical labor.

US air force denies running simulation in which AI drone
‘killed’ operator

from interfering with its efforts to achieve its mission.

> An official said last month that in a virtual test staged by
the US military, an air force drone controlled by AI had used
“highly unexpected strategies to achieve its goal”.

which a drone powered by artificial intelligence was advised to
destroy an enemy’s air defence systems, and ultimately attacked
anyone who interfered with that order.

> “The system started realising that while they did identify the
threat, at times the human operator would tell it not to kill
that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat,” said
Hamilton, the chief of AI test and operations with the US air
force, during the Future Combat Air and Space Capabilities
Summit in London in May.

operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing
its objective,” he said, according to a blogpost.

> “We trained the system: ‘Hey don’t kill the operator – that’s
bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that.’ So what does it
start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that
the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from
killing the target.”

First synthetic human embryo raises ethical issues
--- Quote ---
>
>
> Scientists have created the first synthetic human embryos -
using no eggs or sperm - provoking deep ethical questions,
according to reports.
>
> The synthetic embryos - only days or weeks old - could help
researchers study the earliest stages of human development and
explain pregnancy loss.
>
> Nobody is currently suggesting growing them into a baby.
>
> But the rapid progress has outpaced discussions on how they
should be dealt with ethically and legally.
>
> Prof James Briscoe, from the Francis Crick Institute, said the
field needed to "proceed cautiously, carefully and
transparently" to avoid a "chilling effect" on the public.
>
> The development of human synthetic embryos was announced at
the annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell
Research.
>
> Synthetic embryos are also known as "embryo models", as they
resemble embryos, for the purposes of research, rather than
being identical to them.
>
> Stem cells have the capacity to become any cell-type in the
body and if coaxed in just the right way can be persuaded to
form embryos.
>
> This is the first time that has been achieved using human
material. Although, they are not truly "synthetic", as the
starting material was cells cultured from a traditional embryo
in the laboratory.
>
> "It's beautiful and created entirely from embryonic stem
cells," Prof Zernicka-Goetz told the Guardian newspaper.
>
> She has already developed synthetic mouse embryos with
evidence of a developing brain and beating heart.
>
> Meanwhile, scientists in China have implanted synthetic monkey
embryos into female monkeys - although, all the pregnancies
failed.
>
> Most countries use the 14-day rule in human-embryo research.
This allows an embryo created by fertilising a human egg to be
grown for 14 days.

> However, these "embryo models" are not legally "embryos" and
are not governed by the same laws.

technology to grow these cells beyond the 14-day limit, with
potentially more insights to gain into human development.

understanding of the earliest stages of human's lives.

Calculations Suggest It'll Be Impossible to Control a
Super-Intelligent AI

been talked about for decades – and programs such as ChatGPT
have only renewed these concerns.

computer super-intellgence? Scientists back in 2021 crunched the
numbers. The answer? Almost definitely not.

> The catch is that controlling a super-intelligence far beyond
human comprehension would require a simulation of that
super-intelligence which we can analyse. But if we're unable to
comprehend it, it's impossible to create such a simulation.

> Rules such as 'cause no harm to humans' can't be set if we
don't understand the kind of scenarios that an AI is going to
come up with, suggest the authors of the paper. Once a computer
system is working on a level above the scope of our programmers,
we can no longer set limits.

than those typically studied under the banner of 'robot
ethics'," wrote the researchers back in 2021.

resources in order to achieve objectives that are potentially
incomprehensible to humans, let alone controllable."...

pathogens samples. The bots readily provided examples of
dangerous viruses that would be particularly efficient at
causing widespread damage, due to low immunity rates and high
transmissibility...

The first step to prevent the above should be obvious.
Finally, please take a moment to imagine 2052-2301 in an
alternate universe where all "white" bloodlines had already been
eliminated prior to the Renaissance. (Or just watch any movie/TV
show set in pre-colonial times. Because we would still be living
