Reply to Stephen Wolfram on Chat GPT by cancolak
If anyone is maybe interested on a visual version of this, he also did a video explaining how ChatGPT works and all the history of the technology behind it.

This reminds me quite a lot of when people 100 years ago imagined the future and said things like
"Instead of having to put a letter into your mailbox, the mailbox will grow legs and run to deliver itself!"
If we ever reach singularity and the physics allow for it, the future will look nothing at all like that video. That is just a "sci fi optimized version" of what we already have.
One path could be a energy generator as a core, with some transport mechanism to an outer layer that is composed of compute hardware or just a bunch of brains connected without the need of a physical body (supposing humans don't want to disappear).
Farms, cities, transport, Etcs are all human inventions to facilitate the things we need.
You will have wildly different "solutions" if your problems are different, and I doubt we stay on this "human body" pattern for long if singularity happens.

In the same way you can't know if i'm experiencing qualia, you can't know it about any AGI unless we get a new insight onto what qualia is at all.

They can write papers all that they want, but there seems to be no possible way to explain qualia, and anything other then that seems to just be layer over layer of complex computation.

I think it's still not clear, and a lot of scientists think, that maybe they won't be useful at all (at least in the way we want the to be).
Mainly because we are making suppositions about the nature of the quantum world that may be totally wrong.

Reply to comment by CompressionNull in Is ASI An Inevitability Or A Potential Impossibility? by AnakinRagnarsson66
It's a different way of doing the same. You have biological creatures inside a protected atmosphere that gather nutrientes from plants, with a transport system, etc. It's pretty much today's society but more fancy and jetsonian.
If AGI quicks in, society itself and the concept of "living being" may just flip completely.
Why 8 billion people? Why not a hive mind of computación substrate?
Why a hive mind? One entity alone maybe, and so on.
People usually thinks of something like what we have right now, but way more advanced. I think reality is going to spin the bottle and get really weird.
