We are not getting "Artificial General Intelligence" from anything like the current systems (or ever, probably). This from Marty Hart-Landsberg:

"All multimodal generative AI systems are built using the same basic architecture, one based on largescale pattern recognition shaped by training data and statistical prediction, which makes it incapable of serving as a bridge to anything resembling AGI. This structure also limits its usefulness. Among the most serious problems: the amplification of biases and falsehoods contained in the training data and the tendency to hallucinate or present incorrect or entirely fabricated information as factual. These problems are a major reason why AI developers felt it necessary to pursue a growth strategy that relied on heavily subsidizing the cost of using their systems."

"AI models have one undeniable virtue: the increase in speed and efficiency with which they can carry out tasks that were once the province of human beings. Language models can produce functional text for a wide range of contexts, while image generation models are giving us the capability to render into existence whatever image or video takes our fancy. This is widely taken as clear evidence of the benefits of AI. For Mumford, this type of thinking is precisely the problem. The myth of the machine is dehumanizing because it subordinates human values to machine values: speed and efficiency.

The most striking evidence of the myth’s cultural pervasiveness is that many avid accelerationists do not deny that AI could mean the end of humanity. They merely differ from the doomers in believing that this risk is necessary—even desirable—to achieve the spectacular increases in efficiency and productivity promised by AGI. Mumford foresaw this extreme endpoint. “The myth of the machine,” he wrote, “the basic religion of our present culture, has so captured the modern mind that no human sacrifice seems too great provided it is offered up to the insolent Marduks and Molochs of science and technology.”

Those branded as skeptics or doomers also still accept the premises of the myth of the machine. The stated aim of many organizations concerned with avoiding the worst AI outcomes is that we should “realize the benefits while mitigating the risks” of the technology. Mumford would argue the first half of this statement concedes too much, accepting the basic premise of the myth of the machine while presenting the task as removing the obstacles to realize its benefits. Many skeptics also share a basic misanthropic premise of machine superiority, focusing as they do on the biased, irrational, and flawed nature of human beings that needs machinic augmentation."

"AI doomerism" und AGI-Horrorgeschichten lenken von der berechtigten und dringend notwendigen Kritik am aktuellen AI-Hype ab. AI-Startups verwenden die Horrorgeschichten paradoxerweise sogar als Werbung. Man muss also höllisch aufpassen, welcher Kritik man sich anschließt.

Sehr gut auseinanderklamüsert bekommen das @emilymbender und @alex in ihrem extrem wichtigen Buch The AI Con, von dem es leider noch keine deutsche Übersetzung gibt.

Im Deutschen empfehle ich das exzellente schmale Reclambändchen von @RainerMuehlhoff: Künstliche Intelligenz und der neue Faschismus.

Wer lieber zuhört, kann sich ein großartiges Gespräch anhören, das @kattascha mit Prof. Mühlhoff für ihren Podcast geführt hat: https://www.denkangebot.org/allgemein/rainer-muehlhoff-ueber-ki-und-autoritaere-sehnsuechte-im-silicon-valley/ – Audio-Download: https://www.denkangebot.org/podlove/file/52/s/feed/c/mp3/DA046-1.mp3

Great interview with @randomwalker and @sayashk on AI hype, AI doomerism and related issues.

> "the basic question is, how are you defending against hacking or tricking these AI models? It’s horrifying to me that companies are ignoring those security vulnerabilities that exist today and instead smoking their pipes and speculating about a future rogue AI."

Do you remember the good ol' days of the Dot-Com Bubble? And the Dot-Com-Crash that followed?

Back then, Sun Microsystems was one of the darlings of Silicon Valley. The company is credited with inventing Java, and many of the Internet's servers at the time ran on Sun hardware. Investors jumped in the bandwagon, which pumped the share price. People were buying the shares because they expected the share price to keep going up. This can look good — for a while.
A problem with speculative stocks is that the price ceases to bear a healthy relation to the company's potential future earnings. There's no way for the company to deliver enough profit to make the price you paid worth it. The fundamentals don't stack-up, and a crash is inevitable. With the benefit of hindsight, Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems, was critical of speculative trading when the company’s stock price reached a whopping 10 times revenues.

You may think that was all just "tulip mania".
You may think sharemarket investors have learned from the dot-com bubble era.
You may think governments and banks would have changed the rules to prevent things getting so out-of-whack again.
You may think the "snake-oil salesman" tactics by Silicon Valley Tech-Bros couldn't create a disaster like that again these days...

Tesla's share price is being pumped by a fast-talking madman. Tesla's Price-to-Sales Ratio is currently about 9, and looks to be heading up to over 10 again, where it was from mid June to mid-July.

Nvidia's share price is being pumped by AI hype. Nvidia's Price-to-Sales Ratio is currently about 35, and looks to be heading up to over 40 again, where it was from mid June to mid-July.

I guess this pretty sums it up:
" The answers generated on the basis of this data do not include
references to understand where certain information was taken from, and may be
biased. Additionally, #ChatGPT excels at providing answers that sound very plausible,
but that are often inaccurate or wrong".

Would you trust a person whose answers are #biased, #inaccurate or outright #wrong? I wouldn't.

.> As an instrument for organizing large quantities of information, or performing extremely complex symbolic operations beyond human capabilities within a normal lifespan, the computer is an invaluable adjunct to the brain, though not a substitute for it. Since the computer is limited to handling only so much experience as can be abstracted in symbolic or numerical form, it is incapable of dealing directly, as organisms must, with the steady influx of concrete, unprogrammable experience. With respect to such experience, the computer is necessarily always out of date. The computer's lack of other human dimensions is of course no handicap to it as a labor-saving device, whether in astronomy or bookkeeping: but such creativity as the computer may simulate is always in the first place a contribution of the minds that formulate the program.

.> The utter absence of innate subjective potentialities in the computer makes the contemporary art exhibition shown here (top), in all its pervasive blankness and artful nullity, and ideal representation of its missing dimensions. Those who are so fascinated by the computer’s lifelike feats---it plays chess! it writes ‘poetry’!---that they would turn it[AISalami] into the voice of omniscience, betray how little understanding they have of either themselves, their mechanical-electronic agents, or the potentialities of life. A city of even three hundred thousand people, ten per cent of whom have access to regional or national libraries with as few as a million volumes, would actually have a total capacity for storing, transforming, integrating, and not least applying both symbolic information and concrete experience that no computer will ever rival.
