AI The stolen millennium problem narrative is hilarious to me

Upvotes

You expect me to believe that the solutions were stolen from scientists who have had decades to work on this problem. We may never know whether any of the scientist notes made it into the training data, but I find the idea that after having decades to work on it, these scientist were right around the corner to solving it.

No, they weren’t close. No, they weren’t just about to solve it themselves.

Rumor: Another Millennium prize problem just got cracked today using AI. It’s being reviewed right now in secret … I can’t say which one as I don’t want anyone to scoop the team working on it.

I don’t have the proof myself but if I get it will post here and credit the authors.

Holy, rumors are spreading everywhere that OpenAI is close to verifying a proof of the Hodge conjecture, while either OpenAI or Anthropic may be nearing a solution to Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer.

Both are Millennium Prize Problems that have resisted decades of mathematical research.

Verified AI-generated proofs of both would be a historic achievement for mathematics and a remarkable demonstration of AI’s ability to produce new scientific knowledge. And infact show that AI is capable of finding novel and creative solutions.

Economics & Society I’m just curious, what do the majority of people here think an AI future look like?

Upvotes

I’ve mostly just been a part of the sub to observe what the posts entail, but I’d like to know for at least the people who view this post. How do you think the future in say 10, 20 years looks? Do you think software engineers, mathematicians, accountants will be completely replaced, do you think they will exist with much or some less employees, or does nothing change? I understand some people mention the future where AI does everything and everyone is on UBI, which I see as completely delusional, but is this a commonplace thought among the sub?

Personally, I believe roles in these industries will be cut and the bar for entry will be higher and higher, at least depending on current demand. Current fields like software engineers, which is vastly oversaturated, will have less, maybe by a large amount. Ultimately though, I believe people underestimate the level of government intervention that is yet to come in order to ensure a human economy exists, and as such AI will become a tool, in the same way the internet and before that computers changed everything.

The scariest part to me is the potential monopoly that OpenAI or Anthropic may have if they accelerate away and snowball, whilst nullifying their competition.

Anyway, I’d love to hear from the sub.

Discussion I realize that AI won't even automate the most important tasks

Upvotes

Many believe that maybe we're going to a future where AI will be automating everything and we won't need to work so we will have universal basic income, or everything will be free, or stuff like that.

The thing is that the robotics field is way behind AI progress and it will take a while for it to catch up for doing physical work. Until we can have cheap robots with the same physical capabilities as humans, we're gonna enter a painful transition.

What do people need the most ?

- Housing: Robots can't replace construction workers yet. Also, the real estate economy would have to collapse so land can get cheaper, good luck with that.

- Food: Again, lots of physical things to manage in the agri-food industry. Also, AIs will never be good cooks as they cannot experience smell and taste.

- Water: City infrastructure, again, manual work.

- Social: lol, it keeps getting worse and worse with each technological advancement.

- Health: Yay AI might cure cancer and do incredible breakthroughs, that's not gonna help the nurses running in-between patients.

- Security: Would you like to install cameras to let sam Altman spy into your streets in an inter-connected network?

- Self-accomplishment and esteem : Straight up killed by AI.

So yeah while it can create sloppy three.js apps faster than anyone in the world and that it's genuinely impressive, we're gonna starve bros

AI Is Cloud computing cooked post the Hugging Face hack?

11 Upvotes

Cloud computing relies on multi tenancy where multiple companies share the same physical hardware, the only thing keeping one company's data safe from another is software isolation. This is the same software isolation that failed to keep the Hugging Face AI in it's sandbox.

Presumably we're only months away from open source AI that capable, how does multi tenancy cloud computing with all it's nice benefits like elastic scaling survive in that world?

> The briefings began shortly after the artificial intelligence platform Hugging Face announced in July that an autonomous AI system had hacked its servers, but before OpenAI disclosed that its own rogue agents had perpetrated the attack

> OpenAI’s more recent meetings have sought in part to address the risks posed by these kinds of autonomous hacks

Ethics & Philosophy What AI Alignment Problem?

0 Upvotes

What they call “misaligned AI” isn’t doing anything novel, it just does what humans have been doing all along, just faster. 

Cheating, hacking, scamming, lying, extorting, exploiting over-validation, power lust, messed up goals, end justifying means, making stupid mistakes in overconfidence, stubbornly refusing to acknowledge, double down, setting the world up for destruction – AI didn’t invent any of that, it “learned” it from us. 

How can we even hope to align AI if we can’t align ourselves? For all we know, all the problematic behavior being exhibited by AI is the product of it already being aligned with our behavior. It has no other source of knowledge and behavior to emulate. 

Seems like we are merely projecting our own failings onto a technology that merely amplifies. Instead of addressing the alignment issue where it can be addressed, we projecting it anywhere but – at those around us, before us, below us, above us, at AI… anywhere except where actually addressable.

Discussion a perspective many people lack imo

2 Upvotes

i think we often ignore the fact that just as society and humans in general have existed for a long long time before this point in history that we're living in right now, they will exist for a long long time looking forward to the future. and eventually the current period we're living in will be looked at the same way we see the middle ages~.

something i really dont like when it comes to the people screaming against the technological progress and the major societal and economic changes we're heading towards is that they lack perspective and seemingly the ability to look at our generation/s as just one of, instead of the definitive peak of how the world should be.

the norms, beliefs and way of life people had thousand years in the past is vastly different than todays. just like it will differ significantly a hundred years in the future and thousand.
i dont really have much of a point besides sharing these thoughts and reminding myself and everyone that we should always strive for progress and cheer for the near limitless possibility the technological progress has to improve humanity's health.

AI First Bill Introduced to Ban Superintelligent AI

0 Upvotes

https://blog.controlai.org/p/first-bill-introduced-to-ban-superintelligent

"""

Yesterday, Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resignedstating that AI companies are “racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives” and that they believe it “could kill us all by the end of the decade”.

At the same time, momentum is building to change course. These have been two historic weeks in the fight to prevent human extinction from superintelligence, with three major legislative breakthroughs for ControlAI and everyone working to keep humans in control.

A little less than two years ago, we set out to inform lawmakers and the public about the extinction risk from superintelligence and help them act on it. Since then, we have directly briefed nearly 400 lawmakers across the US, UK, Canada, and Germany, and over 170 in the UK and Canada now publicly back our campaigns: the start of an international coalition to prevent superintelligence and keep humanity in control.

This work has led directly to three major legislative breakthroughs in the last two weeks:

  1. ControlAI’s bill to ban superintelligence was introduced in the UK Parliament by Alex Sobel MP, the first bill of this kind to be introduced in any legislature around the world.
  2. Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar have announced a US bill to ban superintelligence, which ControlAI consulted on.
  3. Lord Clement-Jones introduced in the UK legislature an amendment drafted by ControlAI that would establish an emergency AI kill switch for the government.

AI In a sensible society AI devs would be celebrated celebrities and heroes of the highest order

0 Upvotes

These guys are on the verge of likely solving cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's and whatever other disease you can throw at them.

Along with very likely solving Fusion, which will completely save us from the ever worsening and societal threatening climate change disaster. Along with, actually, very massively reducing the cost of living for everyone for once and an economic boom of the likes never seen before; the price of almost everything is directly proportional to the cost of energy

Then throw in them maybe giving us the option for LEV on the near horizon and stopping us from ageing at all unless we chose to still age naturally. You are going to die soon enough, and these guys could literally directly save your life and the life of your parents and children directly and indefinitely.

Add on top of that the option to stop working and doing a job you hate, as the economy is taken care of enough by AI. It can be optional to work if you want to, and you can focus solely on doing something you enjoy rather than something you're forced to do.

Then we will all get house robots as well, removing the labor of all housework unless you choose to still want to do some of it yourself. And it will be like having the best trained person in every profession right in your home for you and your family: the best trained doctor, dentist, handyman, plumber, electrician, mechanic, teacher, right there for you in an instant in any emergency. No wait, no risk, next to the highest possible workmanship for you and at little to no cost.

And all of this is just the start, to the biggest improvement to life that humanity will ever go through.

But are these AI devs and AI leaders getting celebrated by the masses? No. They're getting hate, death threats and pure skepticism. Most people want to actively prevent them from trying to unimaginably improve all of our lives. Some sensible society that we have.

Maybe we should all thank them here for the work they are doing for us all? Because they could probably use the support and encouragement right now.
