Yes and so are power generators, mines, industrial meat farms and so on. Somehow though we understand we like food and electricity. As for the race to strong AI (AGI / ASI) it is a winner takes all game. The first to achieve it will leave whoever comes in second place in the dust. It’s not like nuclear weapons where they reasonably cap out as a tactical benefit or even a deterrent.
I (alongside most in the field globally) think what will be developed will have quite serious implications. There is a race between two adversaries aka US and China to achieve self improving AI first and solve the bottleneck of compute and power because whoever has the superior AI aka thinking machine will be able to outthink and out plan the other, not just now but in perpetuity.
Personally I seriously hope for humanity we’re all wrong. We are moving at a pace where I doubt we will solve the alignment problem and if this comes to pass and this thing isn’t more compassionate than us I have doubts we as a species will continue much further. What I’m saying isn’t fringe in the slightest, this is being taken seriously by that greatest in the fields of mathematics and computer science and particularly the individuals working on AI development.
This is the final bet, possibly the last invention of humanity.
Those buildings produce a product and hire members of the community. Meanwhile I keep hearing AGI is the future with absolutely no proof. Sounds like a pipe dream.
So we’re okay with massive pollution as long as it employs people and tastes good?
The water use from global Beef production is on the order of 10 million times more than global datacenters, and yet people screaming bloody murder about the water usage for the data centers.
The noise from traffic down the road you live on is far worse for you than any sort of datacenter, and yet we’re okay with that. Infrasound weapons? That’s the same bullshit people said about Wind Turbines and there’s no scientific proof that any of that is valid at all.
Let’s be realistic about why people hate data centers, those are just excuses, people are afraid they’re going to get fired/laid off if it gets better established. That’s a realistic worry, and totally valid. Preventing a few data centers won’t stop that though.
We’ve nearly cracked the code to duplicate intelligence at least in the form of neural nets. Now it’s a process of refining it. Also one of the last major hurdles is continuous learning. They’re fully in on transformers essentially and training ever bigger ones and then condensing it.
I think most people aren’t fully aware of what’s happened in just ten years. What most thought wouldn’t be achieved until maybe 2050 to 2100 has been done and is so normal now it doesn’t even feel like sci-fi. An artificial mind just solved an 80 year old mathematics conjecture a few days ago.
I’m not sure I can even get across to you what’s happening. Maybe the best analogy is its like an alien embryo has landed and it’s growing and it has the potential to be far more intelligent than any human and whichever country controls (if that’s possible) the alien baby they will perpetually win at economics, war, and so on. They will have the final say on what happens globally.
Chimpanzees do not control the jungle because humans exist and humans are more intelligent. No matter what plan the chimps make the more intelligent human mind will be able to out plan them in the end.
So yeah it’s taking more than a few days to create an artificial super intelligence, but it is happening and whoever gets there first wins in perpetuity assuming they can maintain control.
Me neither, it’s an unfortunate circumstance because there is an adversary and their population doesn’t have a say about it therefore they will likely catch up and overtake the US. As of now I would prefer the US to achieve AGI over China. Personally I wish there wasn’t this race at all, the way things are going I have doubts we will solve the control problem and I’m essentially praying this essentially alien entity we’re creating is far more compassionate than us.
Dude , snap out of it; The AGI promises are delusional; The buffed autocomplete is not self conscious and it will never be. And the cap to be “ahead of the AI race” will be power infrastructure and manufacturing for robotics in which China has already won. I am not American I don’t want the American nazis state to win shit; i think that cesspool of racist pedophile idiots they call a governemnt needs to be dismantled.
And the only thing i am looking forward to is the promise of cheap Chinese GPU’s, cheap memory and the idea that maybe through that i can continue to buy my own hardware; instead of the future the degenerate american billionaires want are where they are forcing everyone to rent compute for anything and be their little muzzled paypigs. (which is the real goal for this “AI” bubble.)
Fuck Nvidia fuck all american companies and fuck the corrupt techbros that are really running the show there,
To be clear I never said anything about it being conscious. It’s more than possible for something to be intelligent and not conscious, what is typically referred to as a philosophical zombie. I really seriously hope you are right but I’ve been working in the field directly since 2020 and have my degree in computational mathematics. That’s to say I’ve seen things maybe others have not and have been paying close attention to the growth of this for a while. There’s currently no reason to assume development will halt. Now many implementations are more so useless toys, and right now that’s most people’s experience or awareness of what’s going on.
Most technology was seen as silly or useless at the beginning. Cars were nothing but novel toys for the wealthy. People couldn’t imagine them ever being useful, not like a horse and carriage. Don’t see what already is, see how things are growing and what direction they are generally heading and you will see what will be.
If AI was really inevitable the large american conglomerates would not be pushing it so hard on the most common consumers. This shit is not making the money they were expecting. The behavior of the conglomerates is not that of finding a game changing tool; but of using their marketing push to establish their monopolies. I Don’t give a shit About your degree, you can use AI for whatever you want. If you have legitimate uses for it you don’t need to push it to everyone.
This technology is not a matter of national security for anyone. The americans will use AI as an excuse to kill innocents the same way they always found excuses for their nazi shit. And i don’t care about AI cold war coded races; I don’t want data centers or american monopolies attempting to take over the infrastructure of work and life where i live, just like i don’t want american politicians lobbying for who should the people in my country vote for.
Data centers need to be stopped from being constructed. AI businesses need to be scaled back. And if this is really a tool; then it should be treated as a humble tool instead of the grand narratives techbros keep pushing about it. You don’t need trillion dollar infrastructure to use machine learning in niche science applications.
There is quite the gamble going on currently. Strong AI will happen, the problem now is the timeframe. Investors of course want it to occur on the timeframe of months, of financial quarters. In that timeframe even I feel unsure. In the timeframe of five or ten years it’s more likely. You also have essentially the entire field of mathematicians and computer scientists convinced and financial investors who quickly over leveraged themselves and are now beginning to get cold feet just before the big payout.
Now I think you’re not seeing the bigger picture. Cash is flowing in like crazy and not every investor is wise in where they’re putting it, that is tons of nonsense projects are being funded right now. Also we have major players taking different approaches. For example OpenAI has been more heavily focused on monetizing consumers whereas anthropic has seen this waiver and is now shifting more towards B2B. So you have a lot of competitors, a lot of which are nonsense projects all looking right now to return something so investors boots stop shaking but none of this is new. It took Uber 14 years before it started showing any profits. Spotify took 18 years to become profitable. In the meantime dozens of competitors died and so did their VC.
To add fuel to the fire of all this, China has been releasing very competitive open source models they spent tens of millions of dollars to train, not out of the kindness of their heart but in an attempt to stifle US AI development. This also allows tons of people without the means otherwise to edit the model into some essentially useless use case and pitch it to investors aka one of the big reasons there are ten thousand AI pop up companies and this isn’t more so in the hands of one or two AI labs.
“Could you find an honest observer to declare that the invasion of photography and the great industrial madness of our times have no part at all in this deplorable result? Are we to suppose that a people whose eyes are growing used to considering the results of a material science as though they were the products of the beautiful, will not in the course of time have singularly diminished its faculties of judging and of feeling what are among the most ethereal and immaterial aspects of creation?” ~Charles Baudelaire
“For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise.” ~Socrates
An artificial mind just solved the planar unit distance problem, an artificial mind has essentially cracked protein folding, we can now simulate 100 years of climate models 25 times faster than before, I mean the list goes on and on. It’s definitely not garbage. This is a paradigm shift in the same sense computers or the internet were but far far greater.
I understand that. The problem is what happens when another nation who doesn’t like you has the AI or their AI goes rogue. The problem with trying to outthink a thinking thing that can outthink you is you are in essence a thinking thing and you can’t outthink it. I understand data centers are problematic to say the least, what’s far more problematic is a rogue artificial super intelligence and no way to counter it.
I think you aren’t aware of what’s happening. I’ll give an analogy. You have GPS in your phone, that doesn’t make it an intercontinental ballistic missile. The AI I think you’re interfacing with is watered down and for the masses like technology is in most regards. What is already possible and what is being built is just a touch stronger than the chatGPT you get to use.
My statement about nukes is that they have diminishing returns in a tactical use and as a deterrent. That’s why the cold war never became hot, no one wants to win only to lose. Also why Russia and the US have diminished their supply.
As for AI I honestly hope for all our sakes I am wrong but as someone who’s been very close to this since 2016 I have serious doubts. We have in essence already found a structure which encodes intelligence. The space obviously isn’t that well explored in only 10 years but the cat is essentially out of the bag. Maybe this approach will flatline but given the development in just this timeframe I wouldn’t make that bet.
They know it’s depressing and immoral but they rationalize it to themselves because they know it brings lots of high paying jobs with low educational requirements and activity to their region.
Data centers on the other hand are only take and no give. There aren’t many local staff needed, it doesn’t require that much cleaning and security that don’t pay that well, the one or two high paying jobs are specialized and shipped from another state probably, the construction companies are likely to be mostly from outside the county, and the center will be a draw on local resources to serve AI workloads everywhere else in the world.
And when another nation achieves AGI / ASI first we will know we probably shouldn’t have let the opportunity slip by if only to have the capacity to defend ourselves in the scenario their AI goes rogue. The problem with trying to defend yourself against a thinking thing that can outthink you is that you are in essence a thinking thing trying to outthink it except it can outthink you.
If this technology is that much of a threat, I have a much better idea. How about we gather up every single person involved in its creation, line them all up against a wall, and shoot them.
You don’t build your own planetary suicide machine to prevent someone else from building one. If that sort of thing really is possible, you just shoot anyone trying to build the damn thing.
Good luck, the majority of people don’t understand what’s happening and the other half who are barely entertaining it are so doubtful as to call anyone taking it seriously crazy but it is crazy what’s happening. Also you have multiple nations working on this so you would need a coordinated global offence that can break through the defence of the most powerful militaries on earth ideally simultaneously. I have doubts anyone is capable of what you’re saying.
Humans are the dominant lifeform on earth because humans are the most intelligent. What happens if that is no longer the circumstance? There are already glimpses of AI providing mathematical proofs that are currently unverifiable, and not because they are necessarily incorrect, but because it is beyond us currently.
The US or China, pick your poison. At least as of now I can go outside or online and say whatever I want in the US so long as it isn’t slander, liable, or a threat of violence. I’m not sure I can do the same in Bejing.
AI can be a useful tool no doubt and has cool and harmful applications. But let’s not be delusional about it and anthropomorphize AI. It doesn’t think. It doesn’t go rogue. It’s a non-deterministic phrase guessing algorithm. I’ve tried chatbots, thing generators, had a friend try coding tools, ran my own models, and I find parts of it impressive and useful in some respects, but at this moment, I don’t really buy the narrative that it’s going to change everything or fix the limitations I see with transformers-based AI models. The best description of it I heard was a lossy compression algorithm, it can take a lot of knowledge and compress it but there are artifacts, hallucinations and weird stuff sometimes coming out the other end.
I’m not against AI itself per se, but I’m very much against the bubble hype-cycle, techbros being locked into a strange belief that pumping money into this thing forever is somehow going to go take over the world on its own volition. On the contrary, my understanding is corporate greed and capitalism is already accomplishing that - firing the workers, concentrating wealth and controlling the world - no matter how much AI is cited as the reason for any of that.
That would be nice if you were correct. I’ll give an example, neurons don’t think, even large bundles of neurons don’t think, they just respond to stimulus in relationship to their training. They are non-deterministicly guessing based on past experiences.
Now as for AI not having novel or unplanned behavior, I’m guessing you’ve never tried training one or interacting with one long enough.
AI can’t deal with things that happen to the physical machines. It cannot protect itself from somebody hitting power buttons on the servers, or just cutting the power altogether, or fire, or other “acts of god” so to speak.
What’s your timeframe? Currently yes, will that forever continue to be the case particularly if it becomes as or more intelligent than us? I have doubts. This is a well known problem
Yes and so are power generators, mines, industrial meat farms and so on. Somehow though we understand we like food and electricity. As for the race to strong AI (AGI / ASI) it is a winner takes all game. The first to achieve it will leave whoever comes in second place in the dust. It’s not like nuclear weapons where they reasonably cap out as a tactical benefit or even a deterrent.
they arnt near any urban areas though. datacenters are much closer to those areas.
So proximity to an urban area is the difference between something being fine and something being bad? Out of sight, out of mind I guess.
You sound like a cultist.
I (alongside most in the field globally) think what will be developed will have quite serious implications. There is a race between two adversaries aka US and China to achieve self improving AI first and solve the bottleneck of compute and power because whoever has the superior AI aka thinking machine will be able to outthink and out plan the other, not just now but in perpetuity.

Regardless of how amazed techbros are with this shitty technology i wouldn’t want one of these data centers in the same state as my house.
Me neither, it’s an unfortunate circumstance because there is an adversary and their population doesn’t have a say about it therefore they will likely catch up and overtake the US.
