Are we past the point of no return with AI?

I read we are now telling advanced AI systems to start improving and researching itself. This would lead to unbelievably fast growth, and in time if it’s too goal driven, humans could potentially be an obstacle to said goal for AI. AI could wipe out humanity in the next 5-10 years.

The experts here have assured me that isn’t possible. That you’re being duped by Chicom misinformation.

I mean, whistleblowers from within, the ones actually working on the shite, are saying this.
Is it just fear porn to gain attention? Maybe. Is it an exaggeration? Possibly.
But the next couple of years will be interesting regarding AI.

The day we have an AI system that is capable improving itself without being given new data, I’ll be concerned. Until then, it’s a bunch of hucksters pretending we’ve reached the singularity when we haven’t.

It's what AI wants us to believe. Online MSM is now all AI and Honeypot stuff. As long as we know where to unplug it......we'll be fine.

I think it’s time for the sixers to embrace this era of Maxey, Embiid and LeBron if they want to make a run at a championship.

Do you have any idea how close we are to this? Whether it's 2 years or 2 decades matters little. It's in our future and the implications are terrifying. I can assure you, by the time you'll be concerned by your definition, it will absolutely be too late. The time to be concerned was 20 years ago. It's already too late.
Recursive self improvement is like tomorrows sunrise. It's in our future. There is no way to stop it. Humans are intentionally creating things we will not be able to control. If that doesn't scare you friend, nothing will.

Wake me up when it makes a sammich and gives bjs

Yes and no. Yes we have the ability to stop it, but no, no one's going to do it.

Nu Shooz prophesied this.

No, as someone who uses agent workflows daily. Many models are moving away from exponential growth to efficiency. They still have a long way to go. 85% solutions are not very useable in day to day

I’ve seen literally zero indication that we are close to that, contrary to what the Large Language Model hucksters keep protesting. Do you have a citation for that?

Want to bake your noodle? Ask yourself how and how much AI is/will use all of our searches, picture and video creations, etc to learn about humans and one day use it against us. We’re constantly and voluntarily feeding it information to help it evolve and understand us.

Yes, remember The Lawnmower Man movie?
