Will A.I. rule the world?

[Jac459]

Education through observation as opposed to indoctrination.
And anyhow educated people do nothing more than regurgitate info without question. They are satiated with just sounding "smart".

This is the typical simplistic view of a non educated person.


(I am just kidding, but more seriously any professional in education will tell you that education is just to learn how to learn.

Knowledge can be found anywhere nowadays. But capacity to properly digest this knowledge is difficult (not impossible) to acquire outside of a proper education system).

pardon me if i don't want to think of my aunt and anal
no matter how giddy she may be.

that said, i remember one new year, my auntie janet (married in to the family, poor woman) told us, in front of her 20/22 year old sons, how my uncle, enjoyed a thumb probing.

The start of your sentence "that said" made me very afraid to continue to read .

oh, it could have been much worse. much, much worse.

I don't think AI is a danger. It's when they pair it with something that can interact with the physical world. Can't wait for the AI controlled robot Police dogs. (Metalhead anyone?) Or even worse when they can put a chip in your head. (Your new Neuralink life awaits you) One of my favorite Outer Limits episode had the line: 'It's not that you made me smarter. It's when you gave me free will.'

You mean physical world like planes control systems, trains control system, energy plants, etc... ?

Imagine if copilote the LLM model from Microsoft was having bad intention the number of things it could do...

To digest knowledge, all one needs is vegetation. Smoke it, eat it, drink it....that's it! The plant kingdom educates.
With that in mind, what do you suppose we have become by eating and drinking packaged factory goods in grocery stores?
The plants carry information from the sun, versus f**king lettuce wrapped in plastic at the supermarket...big difference in what type of energy we receive by consumption.
Hope I don't come across too aggressive. I tend to be a bit passionate.

You come across as passionate, not aggressive.
Education has this effect on people (me too) because it is a fascinating topic.

To answer your point, I don't have the same view of school as being factories.
This is maybe dependant of where we are from. It seems universities in USA are very politicized and then I understand your point of factories of people thinking the same way. So I don't know if it true in US but in Europe it isn't the case. Or at least it isn't my experience.

The reason why I see the university as a unique way of learning how to learn is not about the university itself. It is a side effect of the speed at which you do it. It is an intense period of 3, 4, 5 years or more in which you dedicate your entire life and focus to learn. That is a great opportunity to develop your own tools to be able to acquire knowledge efficiently.
Also I know that some universities teach by training people to do the same exercise over and over again. And then I guess again, in this case you are right. But good universities will emphasis on putting you in new situation where you focus on using the tools you developed to learn. Not your learning.
A concrete example of that is when the university gives you access to internet and books during exams. Emphasing that it isn't about knowledge but how you use it.

To conclude, my point is not at all against autodidacts. I am absolutely convinced that people can achieve that without universities. But I am also personally convinced that if you take 2 equally smart persons, the one with good education degree will think more efficiently than the one without.

[Jac459]

As per your initial question that was actually damn funny and I enjoyed reading the thread, my honest and serious answer is that generative AI is like nuclear, a tool that could really destroy humanity.
And I think it is more dangerous because it is more difficult to control (as nobody knows how an LLM "thinks" the way it does.)

That being said, the most probable is that AI will kill us indirectly first by creating so much inequality between rich and poor that we will kill eachother (and the AI) before the AI become a real direct threat.

Happy Sunday.

Speak for yourself. I grow, eat, and smoke my own organic produce and I'm still a massive dumbass...

if you only learn, through your own experiences, you are in danger of eating the wrong berry

Yes knowledge is like Voltage. It's potential.

if you take 2 equally smart persons, the one with good education degree will think more efficiently than the one without.

I'll say that the one who is impeccably determined to accomplish will think efficiently because they are enthusiastic to get what they desire. With or without a degree, one determined will educate themself and efficiently use that knowledge to accomplish.
I say this because there have been many here in the States who have graduated at the university level only to end up at a mediocre job.
Likewise I have worked for business owners who never went to college but love their field of work and made it happen.

my honest and serious answer is that generative AI is like nuclear, a tool that could really destroy humanity.
And I think it is more dangerous because it is more difficult to control (as nobody knows how an LLM "thinks" the way it does.

Don't give it options. Then you can determine how it reaponds. Or, as in the case of man, give it sensory input ao it can sense pain. The fear allows it to be controlled.

The particular plants /herbs I am talking about is not available to the layman anymore. They died with the Native Americans of long ago.

Don't eat berries. Problem solved.

No more disucussing berries, education and A.I. This thread is about Alien Invasion.

Which plants are those? And how did you learn about them? I'd love to know more. Any suggested reading or sources? And why do you recommend we eat them, when they don't even exist anymore?

BTW there are still 5 million native americans in the USA today.
