Saw that there is a group using AI to determine what dolphins and whales are saying to each other. They expect that within 5-7 years we will understand their language.

I hope they aren't talking shite about us.


Everyone loves dolphins, so can you imagine the vast sadness and disappointment if we find out they're total assholes?

See- I’d be disappointed if they aren’t talking shite about us.

There is also a concept of Robotic physical singularity too. That's when we move from "I bought a robot lawn mower" to "My robot knew if was time for them to go mow the yard with the lawnmower I already have".


It will become impossible to tell what is real and what is AI, so the propaganda and distrust and confusion will reign on a level that's almost unimaginable.

And a bunch of people will fall in love with an AI algorithm choosing that "relationship" over another human. I think there have already been a few Black Mirror episodes that delve into that idea.

This isn’t even close to a realistic timeline.

I don't feel like talking about this in two different places, so I'll just say "nuh uh"

I don't think so, either.

If you think a mass amount of the world’s population being jobless will be a net positive then you have a very positive outlook on humanity.

You have a solid point there. Technology has definitely outrun philosophy, and it’s going to get worse. From a purely economic outlook AI will be great for humanity in that it will make everyone rich relative to now.

I particularly like the idea that consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe instead of just a byproduct of matter.

I'm standing by my prediction that I won't live to see a true AGI (I'm 41).

I’d imagine dolphins would be talking about where to hunt, threats, and where the bitches are at.


I wonder if dolphins have an OT pod where they talk about retarded shite and troll each other.
