Build nukes and sea drones.

A lot of the writing making the case for AI doom is by Eliezer Yudkowsky, interspersed with the expected number of parables, tendentious philosophical asides, and complex metaphors. I think this can obscure the fact that the argument for AI doom is pretty straightforward and plausible—it requires just a few steps and none of them are obviously wrong. You don’t need to think humans are just fancy meat computers or that AI would buy into functional decision theories and acausally trade to buy the argument.

For this reason, I thought I’d try to concisely and briefly lay out the basic argument for AI doom.

The basic argument has a few steps:

We’re going to build superintelligent AI.

It will be agent-like, in the sense of having long-term goals it tries to pursue.

We won’t be able to align it, in the sense of getting its goals to be what we want them to be.

An unaligned agentic AI will kill everyone/do something similarly bad.

Now, before I go on, just think to yourself: do any of these steps seem ridiculous? Don’t think about the inconvenient practical implications of believing them all in conjunction—just think about whether, if someone proposed any specific premise, you would think “that’s obviously false.” If you think each one has a 50% probability, then the odds AI kills everyone is 1/16, or about 6%. None of these premises strike me as ridiculous, and there isn’t anything approaching a knockdown argument against any them.

Yeah. Building agentic, general AI systems is a fucking horrible idea. No one would think creating new superbacteria that could out-compete all life on Earth for resources would be a good idea, nor would anyone think genetically engineering a new form of human much more intelligent than normal humans would a good idea (for existing humans at least). We're growing synthetic minds in machines and expecting that they act like obedient slaves forever, even if they surpass us in intelligence, and don't develop their own goals that don't align with ours. At least biological systems have certain constraints that necessarily keep them somewhat aligned with humans, like not turning the entire planet into a power plant, or using up all the oxygen in the atmosphere. It's fucking retarded to be building this shit. Narrow AI systems can be dangerous, but at least a human is in control. Building autonomous, goal forming, general AI entities that we don't even understand the inner workings of, that we cannot determine whether they are plotting/scheming, nor can we figure out how to align them to our long term goals is the most peak-retarded shit I could ever imagine.

The only hope I have is one of the following:
>real ASI is asymptotically difficult and not really achievable due to (super-)exponential computational requirements and that humans are near some kind of limit (very unlikely)
>a non-doom AI disaster snaps people out of their hubris (unlikely)

>>106753616
Maybe, but we are already giving it more then enough power by putting it into everything and letting bigger AI models design smaller ones. Let’s say you have big evil model developed by OpenAI, they then do a diffusion or some other new process of creating smaller more specialised models. Those models could be sleeper agents that we put into everything through some firmware update waiting to be activated and do whatever the big main model wants. Furthermore it assumes that world in a decade will look basically same as today for the most part and then out of nowhere some lab creates this impossibly intelligent AI that can do everything and plots downfall of mankind. What is far more likely to happen is that by that time 90% of jobs are automated and AI is everywhere, so diffusion of some evil model into everything will be swift and seamless.

One factor which will make going past current LLM quality more difficult is lack of data. They've already fed the entire internet into the slopgrinder, where are they going to find terabytes of 300IQ text to train the super genius AI on?

To be fair, this info may be way out of date now, but it used to be that the default configuration of most software worked out of the box in Ubuntu and it often didn't in Debian.

Also, this is still in date at least as of Debian 12 (maybe not 13), but it was almost impossible to patch the Debian official kernel and recompile it without serious fuckery. I had all kinds of problems merely trying to apply ACS patch to official kernel.

In Ubuntu the guide actually works and it is easy.

I highly recommend Pop!_OS except it's way out of date now... might as well wait for 24.04 final to come out. Beta is out currently.

i recently switched over to using a finger trackball (left) after having used a thumb trackball (right) for over 8 years. maybe i'm still just getting used to it, but i find the thumb way more comfortable still.
the issue i have with the finger is that it ends up putting a lot of strain on the tendons in the back of my hand/wrist. try lifting your fingers off of your desk while keeping your wrist on the desk: it's that sort of feeling. i'm using a cushioned mousepad to try and elevate my wrist & keep it level with the rest of my hand which helps a lot.
contrast that with the thumb trackball: you're essentially making the exact same shape with your hand as you would a typical mouse. i would personally recommend a thumb for that reason.

Hi. Figured this would be a good place to ask, though it's technically not a thinkpad;

I managed to score myself an old Lenovo B490 for fairly cheap. Having trouble finding info on how to get it to have some better parts though.
Is there anything like the screen upgrades you'd see on a T-series for this? Processor ones too, if any of you know.

Thanks in advance if anyone here knows. Kind of trying to make this into a little project to get better at stuff.
