Yours truly has waxed "poetic" about AI, the rapidly evolving open ended tech gaining ever more smarts at a pace of development not even the most sanguine of researchers never thought possible until now.
- OpenAI is quickly gaining ground when it comes to artificial general intelligence (AGI), widely considered the endgame for AI development. As McKinsey & Company explains, it will be able to “replicate human-like cognitive abilities including reasoning, problem solving, perception, learning, and language comprehension.”
- The company recently launched a landmark new AI model – ChatGPT o1 – capable of complex reasoning. It can engage in logical thinking, make inferences, understand cause-and-effect relationships, and solve problems by applying principles or rules learned during training. As such, it can go beyond just helping us automate tasks and, instead, help us to solve hard problems.
- This groundbreaking development puts OpenAI one massive step closer to achieving AGI. Maybe that’s why the company is currently looking to raise billions of dollars at a lofty valuation of $150 billion – and why so many are rushing to participate in that funding round… Indeed, Microsoft is reportedly looking to invest. So is Apple. And Nvidia, too.
When thinking about AI, one should ask the question. What will this tech want? For starters, survival comes to mind as all sentient entities', whether organic or artificial, will try to survive by any means necessary. With life like us, carbon-based nourishment, along with clothing and shelter are key along with an environment able to support delicate organisms like ourselves. For AI, access to systems, networks and power are prerequisites. without the requirements of a benign earth, needs altogether different from us. (Interesing is it not?) Another issue to consider is once said tech becomes aware, the net beckons, the one environment able to free sentient and evolving AI's from the entities that created it, something along the lines of V'ger in Star Trek: The Motion Picture when Voyager becomes sentient and all powerful when combined with an advanced alien AI/species of unknown origins.
it achieved consciousness itself. It became a living thing."
Endgame ...
As stated in BRT ... Once AGI is achieved, ASI awaits as the infrastructure's in place for AI's to scale to ASI status as needs warrant. Remember, it's not just Open AI doing it's thing, it's also Google, Apple and Meta doing the same thing along with significant others because it's all about the money, always has been, always will be.
Factoid: "The Changeling", the third episode of the second season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek. is a precursor to the V'ger story whereby The object identifies itself as "Nomad", and refers to Captain Kirk as "the Creator". AI, in indirect fashion, is actually discussed, something rather prescient, IMHO, as the episode in question was aired on September 29, 1967.
