Sam Altman is a pure Technocrat who fancies himself as the savior of the world: most likely, he will destroy it. Some compare him to Albert Einstein. He wrote, "My work at OpenAI reminds me every day about the magnitude of the socioeconomic change that is coming sooner than most people believe."
In the aftermath of the 2020 election, people fought over voting machines, mail-in ballots, signature validation, etc. Meanwhile, Technocrats disguised as the 800-pound gorilla stole the election well before the first ballot was cast - in fact, 6 million of them. Google has been demonstratively caught, but who cares? Google's smoke-and-mirror response: "Who, us?"
In a never ending exercise in futility, regulators/lawmakers are quickly coming to the conclusion AI can't be corralled. AI runs circles around rules or laws, and genie is already out of the bottle. AI is running at warp speed while humans are running at skate board speed. Alas, there will be wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth.
One candid AI engineer: "We're creating God." As these Technocrats barrel toward their goal of AGI, their public persona is disingenuous as they warn of dangers and the need to slow development. As superintelligence emerges it will be accepted as god, display powers like God and take control over mankind.
Many warehouses are already using robots, but the introduction of humanoid robots is a first. However, other industries are targeted such as manufacturing, elder care and health care, food production and agriculture. Production expected to start in late 2024.
When legitimate journalists use AI to polish an article they wrote, that's far a cry from the wholesale creation of text by AI. As AI re-writes other AI stories, an endless loop will appear. The ability to discern what is real vs. fake will disappear, further causing the collapse of reality.
Pure Transhumanism is on display here. Even though research scientists perform the work, it is funded by intelligence agencies and the military, both arms of the government and part of the industrial/military complex that Dwight Eisenhower warned the west about in the 1950s.
The Duality product PIX will allow ambulance personnel to scan a patient's face, identify him and tie his identity to existing health records. Upon arrival at the hospital, all records are available to ER personnel and will follow him throughout the hospital stay. Of course, the use of AI makes this possible.
A new study from Cornell University demonstrates that scientists can reconstruct music that you are listening to with remarkable precision. AI is used to decipher changes in the brain as you listen to a music recording, then reads your mind in real time.
The paper is titled, Vision-Language-Action Models Transfer Web Knowledge to Robotic Control, and reveals new capabilities to transfer web knowledge to real-world robot: "High-capacity models pretrained on broad web-scale datasets provide an effective and powerful platform for a wide range of downstream tasks."
