  • That doesn’t actually sound like they intend on producing usable helium though. That sounds like they intend on doing a really difficult and expensive fusion reaction to produce helium 3, which they will then use in a cheaper and easier to do fusion reaction, and the end result of all of that should be electricity and no net new helium since it’s expensive and rare AF and they need it all to make the whole process remotely plausibly profitable.














  • Except there is no language. It’s just the appearance of one. You could replicate the language with a large enough dictionary and a set of instructions that some person follows.

    You’re saying that because it can learn any arbitrary language, it’s incapable of learning languages?

    I don’t get how anyone who isn’t an AI CEO rushes to dehumanize real living people in service of an unthinking, unfeeling machine.

    It’s not dehumanizing, it’s realistically facing the threat head on.

    AI doesn’t have to be fully human to take all knowledge jobs, it just has to be more intelligent then the average person in their domain. And it doesn’t have to be flawlessly more intelligent if it’s faster than them. Quantum computers have inherent randomness in their outputs, but they are still useful because they are so much faster at solving certain kinds of problems that you can run them 100x and discard the outlying results (a process known as error correction). AI agents that can duplicate themselves as many times as they want fall into the same category.
