Generative A.I - We Aren’t Ready.

New generative A.I breakthroughs are happening almost every week, it seems. The big question is; Are we ready for it? Noted Science Zaddy Kyle Hill explains what’s coming, the “dark forest” theory of the internet, and the steps we humans can take to pass the “Reverse Turing Test.”

What scares me more than AI spamming everything is how many people apparantly take information at face value. Its always been necessary to vet whether or not something is true.

[knicknevin]

There's a poetic justice to the idea that the reason the universe is silent is because the aliens are all afraid that if they speak up a galactic digital overmind is going to start spamming them with messages about how you can get a bigger glubark with this one weird trick.

I've noticed that when I research something, there are hardly any results anymore. The results just stop. Very alarming indeed

[RaeRaeOR]

What’s alarming to me as well is the people who should be writing legislation to regulate this (or attempt to, anyways) have no idea how the internet actually works, what AI is, or what AI is capable of.

[skeepodoop]

The "dead internet" wasn't a conspiracy theory, it was a prophecy.

[devkit]

I cannot overstate how painfully I miss the old internet...

[cvabuck]

I'm not afraid of an AI that passes the Turing test. I'm terrified of one that fails intentionally.

[Pantheragem]

I'm beginning to understand why when my grandparents were dying, they didn't really seem to mind. The world they grew up in and loved was already gone.

Finally, somebody said it

There is something we did on our discord server. During onboarding we have mandatory multiple choice option before anybody can use the server. The first option says "im a bot, please kick me as soon as I join (dont choose this role if you actually want to join the server)" and it actually weeds out a lot of bots joining.

"Early in the [internet] —thousands of years ago—it became almost useless because it was cluttered with faulty, obsolete, or downright misleading information, " -Neil Stephenson, Anathem

[swapertxking]

I remember an anecdote I was told during an information systems class “that if you are lost in a dark forest, the only way out may be through burning your way to safety.”

Minor correction: Text based captcha are already mostly not used because they are no longer reliable. This happened a few years back and is the reason most captcha switched to just a check box or newer ones which are entirely behind the scenes.

Kyle recommending we use memes to combat AI overlords is somehow making MGS2 even more prevalent over 20 years later.

Plot twist:

This video was written, created, and produced entirely by A.I.

[dingdongs]

The whole thing that to feel a human connection we have to actually go out again reminds me of Dune. Where the invention of shields made it so that projectile and beam weapons were made redundant, so we had to go back to sword fighting and hand to hand combat, the jihad against and subsequent banning of thinking machines meant specially trained humans had to carry out large calculations and piloting FTL spaceships.

Stuff comes back full circle, its like poetry it rhymes

[keef]

“Once, men gave their thinking over to machines in the hopes that it would set them free. But it only allowed other men with machines to enslave them.”

[aceg]

I appreciate how you use the same straightforward tone and quiet music that you use (presumably out of respect) when discussing people dying of nuclear accidents. At the same time, it's quite chilling.

[tangocharlie]

I wonder if the internet will be so terrible in 5/10 years that people will be scared to go there?
(Wouldn’t be the worst thing…)

14:55 I have a 6-year-old daughter and that statement that you just said just really hit me hard. Thank you for that. My goodness.
