Artificial Intelligence

Tesla's latest humanoid robot. The real surprise is the price - less than 20k. Things are getting real.

Ain't he one of the biggest anti-AI people around? They must be using ML or AI for these things

[Toulouse_Iron]

I like the example given in the earlier video: 50% of engineers working in AI reckon there is at least a 10% chance that humanity will be wiped out as a result of all this.
OK, fair enough.
What if you were at the Airbus factory here in Toulouse waiting to try out a new plane and 50% of the engineers who developed the thing tell you there is a one in ten chance the plane will crash. Would you get on it?

Anybody not even slightly concerned doesn't really grasp the concept of exponential growth (I don't mean does not understand the word, not being patronising). Even the engineers involved systematically underestimate the speed it is developing. The brain just goes "Nope"

[Hummer_I_mean_Hammer]

TI, I saw a documentary on AI and the blokes on there mentioned something similar, iirc the human brain is not wired to get that level of growth. Unless I misunderstood what they were saying.

Good analogy Toulouse

Since the thread started I have been reading up about it. Far too many clever people in the know on AI are worried about it, as I said on a separate post, we should be worried if they are, right?

Will Smith is tooling up as I type..

[chelmsfordhammer91]

I'm not worried about the growth or exponential nature of it as a principle, more that the speed is out pacing regulation and legislation.

People saying it'll all be fine don't make good news coverage, so the fear angle takes precedence. I'm not saying they are wrong, as nobody knows yet.

IMO, the experts saying we need to slow down to get our heads round it is the right call. Once we've set appropriate boundaries, rules and processes, then let it grow (with appropriate audit and monitoring).

I'd be bricking it if my name was Sarah Connor...just in case AI wants to get pre-emptive...

I drive a Tesla. All Musk does is bull**** about the car’s capabilities and sells cars that don’t even exist yet (see roadster and Cybertruck).

The robots will be crap and maybe in 10 or 20 years they’ll be close to what he has promised. It’s the Elon way.

Freedland is not normally a sensationalist writer. He’s clearly spoiled by AI though …

Incredible, so before it takes over the world at least it is helping us in the time being...

If it gets stroppy just unplug the slag......

[Hummer_I_mean_Hammer]

What happens when every device and appliance has AI baked into it, will fridges start having rows with cookers, or vacuum cleaners if they've had a bad day?

Where will that leave us?

[RichieRiv]

Those robot vacuum cleaners have had ML for years, so theyll be the equivalent of the pub bore.

Seriously though everyone just needs to follow the science as that has served us well in the past. I am relying heavily on Prof Neil Ferguson to tell us what to do.

Thing is Richie, AI bots will look to replace people like Neil first, that way they break down any resistance before it has even formulated.

[The Old Man of Storr]

I'd like one of those robot mowers but the pigs we kept years ago created so many dents and hills in our garden the poor old robot would struggle , not as much as I do but he'd definitely struggle . I'd also have to surround every shrub and small tree with wire it wouldn't be cost effective . Humans 1 Robots 0 .

The light dusting and hoovering I perform -

Could get a robotic hoover but I'd have to carry it upstairs unless it's developed Dalek-like flying powers ?

Can't see a robot coping with the amount of light dusting I get through though .
Humans 1 Robots 1

Hmmm , I can see this one going to penalties .

When we get Jonny Cash singing Surfin USA, that's when I'll start taking notice.
