Now, that has to be a joke, doesn't it?
It's all that, or it's teasing.
The point is, it's so sophisticated, so quickly.
And of course, Geoffrey Hinton says they are thinking machines.
Well, if you were right, and I hope you're not, what you're saying is you can't build in benevolent behavior, which means that it will sooner or later, perhaps by accident, do something that is cripplingly dangerous to humans.
The old paperclip cliche.
It'll make paperclips out of everything, every metal it finds and destroy the planet in the process.
that these intelligences involved in machines are literal to a degree we might find difficult to get our brains around.
and therefore someone has said, I'd like you to make as many paperclips as you can.
Yes.
A sloppily open-ended, bad definition.
But then the machine, which by then has the means to do it, starts to make paperclips, and it keeps on going, and it needs metal, and so it runs out of easily available metal.
It starts to collect metal that is not easily available, rips it out of your high-rise building, whatever.
