Futurism

434 readers
1 users here now

A place to discuss the ideas, developments, and technology that can and will shape the future of civilization.

Tenets:

(1) Concepts are often better treated in isolation -- eg: "what if energy became near zero cost?"
(2) Consider the law of unintended consequences -- eg: "if this happens, then these other systems fail"
(3) Pseudoscience and speculative physics are not welcome. Keep it grounded in reality.
(4) We are here to explore the parameter spaces of the future -- these includes political system changes that advances may trigger. Keep political discussions abstract and not about current affairs.
(5) No pumping of vapourware -- eg: battery tech announcements.

The article and release are interesting unto themselves. However, as this is c/Futurism, let's discuss what happens in the future. How do you folks think this ideological battleground plays out in 5, 50, or 500 years?

If nothing else, it shows that the LLM genie cannot be put back in the bottle.

5 years: bad actors are using unregulated LLMs to flood content to every possible medium where there's a chance to influence someone. It becomes increasingly hard to tell what is an authentic human interaction on the internet. CS:GO has fake 12yo kids swearing at each other. Social media websites are now popping up that require a human to physically visit one of their service centres with government I'd to register, proving that they're human.

50 years: LLMs are so ubiquitous and self-tuning that you can have any model you want with any parameters. This becomes similar to TARS on Interstellar, sans robot body. Regulations have largely failed, but people tell their personals AIs to "tone it down in front of the family" like they would their belligerent uncles. At least one major diplomatic incident is caused when nation state sponsored LLMs are arguing with one another.

500 years: I am a paperclip.

These are made by the internet, some one is going to leave one on horny mode in front of a bunch of world leaders...
