Last one: I don’t think a conscious AGI is coming any time soon. I’m in the camp that neurons alone do not give rise to consciousness. I suspect it’s much more complicated and mathematically prohibitive unless we are able to utilize a quantum computer to make a breakthrough. But it seems no one is looking at the actual complexity of what a brain does and instead throwing money at computation.

We want the grand reward but avoid the hard work. The result will be a shitcoin that feels like AGI, looks like AGI but is not really AGI - just a good fake.

Happy to be wrong on this.

I watched this yesterday. Very interesting, covers a lot of what you mention, and more!

I've had a hard time reconciling why so many people hold up the concept of a conscious AI as something to aspire to. I personally feel that is so much more problematic.

Having incredibly "smart" machines is one thing but having them be sentient is a completely different thing. We can have incredible gains in productivity without ever reaching the point when we create another being.

We have trouble keeping the peace amongst ourselves as humans why on earth would we and should we throw another conscious being into the mix. A conscious being that, by the way, at the inception humans would expect to be our slave....

Transhumanism will be the downfall of the Angels all over again. Read the Scriptures and understand why God created humans in the first place.

Not if you use nano particles and wetware; being able to shapeshift suspended nano particles to create specific programs, softwares, microchip models or shapes; while suspended in wetware (Gel Encasing) a quantum computer could literally dream, imagine or create, even in Zero G - I believe we are very close to achieving AGI.
