Ah, sweet! Man made horrors beyond comprehension.
Beat me to it
Yes of course, it is what we are best at. The Torment Nexus was just the fictional fever dream of a deranged madman, until we turned our efforts towards it started building them on every street corner, and now they are just part of everyday life. I heard they got the idea from some fascinating book by a brilliant visionary, titled “Don’t create the Torment Nexus”.
And, the billionaires asked scientists, “Can we just get the brain? Brains don’t have any rights, do they?”
Edit: @BranBucket beat me to the punch by like 8 hours
People, people. This is WIRED.
This is what they do.
- “Here Come the Zippies”
Did the Zippies not come?
Kind of? But not really. Maybe? Here’s a wired article on the idea. You be the judge

It’s all very poorly defined, imo
Reader, they did not.
Wild to think there was a world before the zippies!
Next step, servitors. About 30 thousands years ahead of schedule.
And I bet right-wing
profiteerspastors would have nothing bad to say about human-machine hybrids that can’t technically be slaves because they don’t have souls.
What’s the point with this artifial intelligence race anyways? Why is there a sudden need for that after all?
I understand that AI as a tool can be useful for some tasks, but do we really need to go further than that?
I think it’s a combination of things. One, they are good at synthesizing huge amounts of data and detecting trends, which is useful for surveillance if you’re not that hung up on being exactly right all the time. Two, they are very energy-costly, so their use drives up the price of energy, which drives up the price of fossil fuels.
What’s the point with this artifial intelligence race anyways?
Free labor. Humans are expensive, but robot slaves are comparatively cheap (hypothetically).
Ultracapitalists have a harder time getting a slave labor force, so robots that can think like people are the next best thing for that purpose.
And if there is a “free” labor force competing with humans for jobs then humans will be forced to accept lower pay, longer hours, and less benifits for more work.
And eventually, labor bargains will be obsolete. They won’t need us ever again. Top 1% live in utopia, rest of us living in slums
Arms race

The funny thing about this headline is, human brains are neural networks, so the last sentence could also say
“Soon, neural networks could out think neural networks.”
“Soon, neural networks could out think neural networks.”
There’s more money in vague disinfo than outright lies.
Shhh yes everything is neural networks Jimmy stop shouting
Computer scientist here (AI specialty). Bring in neurology or bio or something to correct me, but this sounds fucking dumb.
Its both a real thing with some promise and also bullshit to act like it’s anyware near killing spots where current AI excelerates.
What the hell is excelerate?
Edit: oh my friggin’ god, I can’t believe I forgot. Excelerate is a Canadian verb!!
Sometimes I say words like they are typed, which is wrong. Sometimes I type words like they are spoken, also wrong.
😂
See my edit, I think you’re just Canadian!
In the current state of the world it’s an honor to be considered
Start spelling it honour and I think you’ll fit right in.

It’s a word that’s completely understandable by any reasonable native english speaker.
For it existing, sure, I’m meaning the latter–whether it does anything terribly useful.
First of all, no that is not a word, secondly; what promise? Intelligence? Please provide a source for that claim because no, there is no promising results in bio intelligence

Oh yeah, well I asked the consciousness in my pc and it told me it was cold and scared

The problem is not inherit to AI. The problem is with the people who own the tech and it will much worse if they also own a more efficient version of it. Not that it seems like an immediate threat and I am not even starting to consider the ethical problems with this.

“Technology” under capitalism is just weapons and grifts all the way down.

Then, we have truly made The Matrix.
This article might be really interesting, shame it paywalls me after the first two lines of text lol.
