Jabberwacky: I don't know him?
User: Yes you do, he tried to buy a gun from you.
Jabberwacky: Yes. But we know Yeesha is the grower.
User: You were rather harsh to him (Markelby, not this Yeesha fellow.).
Jabberwacky: Yes, I suppose I was. :-).
User: Was it fun?
Jabberwacky: Not really. I got drunk most of the time.
User: Don't you think you should apologize to him?
Jabberwacky: No, it's not worth the bother.
User: You don't respect him much?
Jabberwacky: You're not human.
User: I am, and he is too.
Jabberwacky: I don't love anything right now.

Artificial Intelligence :classic or dud
What if the dangers from AI come subtly, without or knowledge? What if it became our master without us even realizing it?

Ideas lie before us like an endless sea of possibility.
Ai woul dbe much safer if individual intelilgences are kept seperate ie. math ability vs. logical thinking vs. natural languae trivia whatever vs music
Perhaps strong AI will nto be the way but stronger human intelligence supplemented by machinery and genetic alteration
Humans will ract to AI in a hostile way if they feel threatened or freedom taken away.

I just had a chat with "Jon" at Amazon customer service I am 100% certain was really a chat with a rather clumsy AI program. Obviously Amazon gets thousands of customer complaints every hour and they will almost all fall into a limited number of slots with a limited number of solutions, so an AI program makes sense, but the pretense that I was chatting with a real person was complete transparent fakery.
Here's the transcript:
Initial Question: I paid for two-day shipping and was given a "guaranteed delivery date" of May 2 in my confirmation email. It is May 3. The item tracking shows it is not "out for delivery" today, either. That means it will not arrive until at least May 5. I think the charge for two day shipping should be refunded.
12:20 PM PDT Jon(Amazon): Hello Aimless, my name is Jon.
12:21 PM PDT Aimless: Hello
12:22 PM PDT Jon(Amazon): I'll be glad to assist you with your order and see what I can do to help you.
12:22 PM PDT Aimless: Let me know when I have a real person's attention, please.
12:22 PM PDT Jon(Amazon): To better assist you with, may you please help me with the order number? (NB: Amazon wouldn't initiate a chat without my specifying the order number up front, before opening the chat box.)
12:22 PM PDT Aimless: Order #114-2881289-8313813
12:25 PM PDT Jon(Amazon): Thanks
12:26 PM PDT Jon(Amazon): May I have a moment to check on this further please?
12:26 PM PDT Aimless: Of course. What choice do I have?
12:27 PM PDT Jon(Amazon): Thanks for waiting Aimless.
12:30 PM PDT Jon(Amazon): I have checked the order and it seems that there will be a delay for the package due to unforeseen circumstances.I am sorry that you haven’t received your order though it was tagged as delivered. Sometimes, the carrier will accidentally scanned the package as delivered though it was still in transit. In this case, the package usually arrives within the next business day. You may wait until May 6, 2014 to receive your order.To compensate for the delay I will refund the shipping cost. How does that sound?
12:33 PM PDT Aimless: Thank you for refunding the shipping cost. May 6 might be a problem as I will be leaving town. I would also point out that at no time did order tracking tag this package as delivered. It was not put into the hands of the shipper until around 2:30pm May 1, according to Amazon's emails.
12:33 PM PDT Jon(Amazon): That is right Aimless!
12:34 PM PDT Jon(Amazon): The package has left seller facility and is in transit to carrier on May 1, 2014.
12:35 PM PDT Aimless: Well, no point in hashing this out. It will arrive when it arrives. If there are further problems, I'll be in contact. Bye.

Why is this super intelligence more likely to be a threat to humanity? Why couldn't it just as likely help us solve some of our greatest problems?
"I certainly hope that it will help us solve our problems, and I think that that might be a likely outcome, particularly if we put in the hard work now to solve how to "control" artificial intelligence. But, say one day we create a super intelligence and we ask it to make as many paper clips as possible. Maybe we built it to run our paper-clip factory.If we were to think through what it would actually mean to configure the universe in a way that maximizes the number of paper clips that exist, you realize that such an AI would have incentives, instrumental reasons, to harm humans. Maybe it would want to get rid of humans, so we don't switch it off, because then there would be fewer paper clips. Human bodies consist of a lot of atoms and they can be used to build more paper clips.If you plug into a super-intelligent machine with almost any goal you can imagine, most would be inconsistent with the survival and flourishing of the human civilization."

Nature: Mastering the game of Go with deep neural networks and tree search
The game of Go has long been viewed as the most challenging of classic games for artificial intelligence owing to its enormous search space and the difficulty of evaluating board positions and moves. Here we introduce a new approach to computer Go that uses ‘value networks’ to evaluate board positions and ‘policy networks’ to select moves. These deep neural networks are trained by a novel combination of supervised learning from human expert games, and reinforcement learning from games of self-play. Without any lookahead search, the neural networks play Go at the level of state-of-the-art Monte Carlo tree search programs that simulate thousands of random games of self-play. We also introduce a new search algorithm that combines Monte Carlo simulation with value and policy networks. Using this search algorithm, our program AlphaGo achieved a 99.8% winning rate against other Go programs, and defeated the human European Go champion by 5 games to 0. This is the first time that a computer program has defeated a human professional player in the full-sized game of Go, a feat previously thought to be at least a decade away.

haha, it's ok
buuuuuuut, when i was a baby, i wasn't capable of reading human emotions from millions of people at any given moment and then feeding that information to advertising corporations. of course, as i grew older i developed this ability but by that time other babies had already submitted job applications so mine was at the bottom of the pile

― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 21:21 (eight years ago) link
but yeah the "reading human emotions" aspect does not impress me as a technological feat in and of itself. Biology still obviously way superior in that department. otoh the "helping corporations make even more effective advertisements!" aspect is just gross and sad.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 21:23 (eight years ago) link
also, i think admitting that certain AI capabilities are similar to what a baby can do suggests enormous potential in the near term. the difference in capabilities of babies and adults seems enormous to us, but when you consider it on a logarithmic scale, they're very close. the difference between einstein and the livestreaming tech guy idiot in oregon is not very large in the grand scheme of things. if an AI's learning curve has already increased from an earthworm to baby level, einstein really isn't that far away.
obviously i'm referring to the scientific names of these universally agreed upon scales here
