OpenAI is on a treadmill. It has vast amounts of investor billions pouring into it and needs to show results. Meanwhile, open source AI is snapping at its heels in every direction. If it is true that it is holding back on AI agents out of caution, I'm pretty sure that won't last long.

Interesting to see that the G1 is still aimed at developers and is not for mass market consumers. I wonder how long it will be before there is a layer of AI software on top of what it currently is, that means it can be more widely sold.

Low, who died aged 68, carried on making predictions throughout his life. Not all found favour. In 1929, the Daily Express reported, with some outrage, the professor was in some ways an “arrant conservative” who had declared it would be centuries before “women approach men in intelligence” and then only when they take on “men’s physical characteristics”. “A woman doctor in Munich has just been prophesying that women who bob their hair will in time grow beards. She and Professor Low ought to meet,” the paper said.

He didn't get everything right!

He was however accurate about technology. I wonder if anyone today can be as accurate about 2125? It seems there are so many more possibilities when things as momentous as AGI have happened.

Thanks, we'll keep track of what they are doing.

I misphrased, they are an Admin/Op, and essential.

would it be enough to have those rules in place, and when reported actively remove the content as a mod?

We're pretty good with daily moderating of content on futurology.today, so I'd be confident we could cover that aspect.

However I'm wondering about federation issues. Are we liable for UK users who use their futurology.today account to access other instances we don't mod?

the problem is that the guidance is too large and overbearing.

This.

Who gets to decide what "self-harm" is? There'll be some busybodies who'll say that any remotely positive messaging for LGBTQ youth is 'self-harm' for them.

It's interesting how this movement had its roots in left-wing thought, but has now been thoroughly co-opted by libertarian right-wing types. At its inception it was about tearing down society to start again, hopefully leading to something more equal afterwards.

There's still a lot of that radicalism about tearing down current society and restarting it, but I don't think most of the people who identify this way now really care very much about equality.

I admit I'm torn here. On the one hand I think the future is to have AI ubiquitous and integrated into everything. On the other hand, fake AI 'friends' on a friend's network sounds hideous.

I wonder will this trend of open source AI equaling the leading investor funded AI go all the way to AGI?

This is my first time seeing this particular model of humanoid robot. It looks quite impressive.

Spooky and interesting for anybody who ever watched Westworld.
