Ah then that’s why John is an uncle to both of them. I must have misremembered.

Yeah after Pefgy Sue he never wanted to be in any Coppola movies

Jonathan Nolan is Christopher Nolan’s nephew and they share an uncle in John Nolan.

He changed his name because he never wanted nepotism off this

Usually these tasks are repetitive, scriptable. I don’t know exactly what happens but I suppose AI will just cough up a lot of work and employees come in on Monday and just have to check it. In some cases that would be more work than just making it yourself but this is a first step at least.

I think you’re right. AGI and certainly ASI are behind one large hurdle: we need to figure out what consciousness is and how we can synthesize it.

As Qui-Gon Jinn said to Jar Jar Binks: the ability to speak does not make you intelligent.

I fully support AI taking over stupid, meaningless jobs if it also means the people that used to do those jobs have financial security and can go do a job they love.

Software developer Afas has decided to give certain employees one day a week off with pay, and let AI do their job for that day. If that is the future AI can bring, I’d be fine with that.

Caveat is that that money has to come from somewhere so their customers will probably foot the bill meaning that other employees elsewhere will get paid less.

But maybe AI can be used to optimise business models, make better predictions. Less waste means less money spent on processes which can mean more money for people. I then also hope AI can give companies better distribution of money.

This of course is all what stakeholders and decision makers do not want for obvious reasons.

I used to be an optimist for the implementation of A(G/S)Iafter reading Wait But Why’s explanation of it.

I think AI can have huge positive effects on AI. But the way marketing has ran with it… Everything suddenly needs to have the label even if it doesn’t really qualify. The environmental impact of people doing stupid, unnecessary things with AI is huge. Not to mention societal impact of AI companions.

If AI was designed by any other species than humans, it might’ve been interesting.
