Vanity Fair Article by Dowd on Elon Musk and AI
What are your thoughts on this subject? I've been reading on it lately and to be honest, it is scary stuff.
By the way, the linked article is long but worth the read.

Listen to Joe Rogan's podcast #930 with Will MacAskill

I'm hopeful there is an intelligence barrier that even computers can't cross. I don't like the thought of being dethroned at the top of the food chain.

If you like novels...you'd find "The Transhumanist Wager" fun. Smart dude wrote it. The essential point is that there are people out there who indeed believe that the ticket to immortality and 'Heaven' is through high tech. And they will NOT be constrained by Religious Ideas or Theological-based morality which they consider ludicrous...and in effect, immoral...if it denies them their basic freedom to pursue immortality via high tech.
I found if overly dramatic and simplistic in the way it portrayed the (stereotypically stupid, selfish and evil) Religious characters. But you'll get the drift.
Brave new world coming. "I will take the wise in their own craftiness" (Good Book). I guess somebody has to do it.

Start with artificial Womb first. That will be a game changer.

It's crazy. Not an Alex Jones fan but he talked about it on the #911 Joe Rogan podcast as well.

Terminator will come to fruition.
Probably not in our lifetime

The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.
That, my friends, is Artificial Intelligence.

Blah blah Skynet blah blah robot overlords.

I hope Paul is right. The google boys disagree. Bill Gates thinks it could happen.

It's pretty much inevitable. I don't think it will happen in my lifetime, but its coming.
What I do see in my lifetime is the beginning of the moral debate on AI "slavery" and whatnot

Read the article this morning and was weighing whether to kill myself.
But then I realized that if I just waited for the Terminators to do it for me, I would in essence be exercising final control over their actions!
So at least I'll have that going for me...

Sam Harris w/ Stuart Russell is better: LINK
There are a number of other interviews in his feed on this topic.
I can't take Maureen Dowd seriously on anything technological after her embarrassing experience with a pot edible.

I am by no means an expert but started reading into it a couple of years ago. A problem with the idea is that it conflates computing power with actual intelligence or sentience. So while Moore's Law has been somewhat reliable (at least until now), advances in software have not necessarily been made in a similarly exponential fashion. Moreover, machine learning itself, while closer to human cognition, does not entail sentience. An example I have mentioned on here before is that Watson may win Jeopardy but it has no idea it won...same for AlphaGo.
Getting to a level such that a machine enjoys human-level intelligence would be an unbelievable step change vs. just being able to pwn humans in Chess or Go (or install tires on a Tahoe for that matter).
Still, an interesting topic. We just have no way of knowing how go predict something like this, and it's odd that your Verge and Kurzweil types coincidentally point to the event horizon falling within either of their respective life spans.
