"I'm going to start something which I call 'TruthGPT,' or a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe," Musk said in an interview with Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson to be aired later on Monday.
"And I think this might be the best path to safety, in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe, it is unlikely to annihilate humans because we are an interesting part of the universe," he said, according to some excerpts of the interview.
Musk last month registered a firm named X.AI Corp, incorporated in Nevada, according to a state filing. The firm listed Musk as the sole director.
Musk also reiterated his warnings about AI during the interview with Carlson, saying "AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production" according to the excerpts.
"It has the potential of civilizational destruction," he said.
Anyone who believes that AI has anything resembling intention and sentience needs to have their brain examined
The easiest way to imply that claim with current or upcoming technology is to denigrate human intelligence as "meat computers" or the like, or point out times that the chatbot fooled someone to imply the same. "TURING TEST PASSED. THE SINGULARITY HAS BEGUN" :so-true:
The brain-computer analogy and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
Even bringing it up here is likely to get some engineer brained "actually" :morshupls: dismissal.
Thousands of years of philosophy owing its existence to consciousness, one of the greatest if not the greatest mystery of all time, and some random singularity dipshits think they’ve cracked the code with their glorified chatbot
Insert the meme posted a while back about the latest invention becoming the new metaphor for consciousness
Some just dismiss consciousness itself as "an illusion" as if we, inescapably what we are, can be sure of anything else before our conscious experience and say "actually according to the framework we agreed upon, we're experiencing an illusion" for whatever reason. :galaxy-brain:
Yeah, and that had "actually, this time it's different, because COMPUTERS" reactions to it. :morshupls:
Consciousness deniers be like: I think consciousness is an illusion
:Descartes-Shining:
The absolute dumbest clowns to ever walk the Earth, instantly proved wrong by the very existence of… existence. If they’re true believers then surely they won’t mind being guillotined, right? After all, according to them, there’s nothing to be lost
So many "upload" escapist fantasies by necessity conveniently require the "upload" to destroy the original brain, because in any version of that thought experiment where the brain is still alive and functioning, it would be too clear and obvious that no "upload" took place from the subjective perspective of the "uploaded" brain, no matter how perfect the copy happens to be to external observers. :the-more-you-know:
Listening to these people is like having random drunks from the caboose barge into the engine room and loudly proclaim that the train doesn’t exist.
It’s hard when I want to have an actual conversation about the nature of consciousness and the hows and whys and end up having to deal with these geocentrist morons. And I must apologize to the geocentrists, compared to these I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE cultists they’re practically Einstein.
