Guy selling something says buying it will make your, mother-in-law stop visiting, your kids smarter, and your dick longer, more at 11...

Then again... it also could not happen shortly after 2027.

Or could happen not shortly after 2027.

Probably couldn't happen in 2027 though, or could it?

If I blatantly lie about my capabilities can I also get unlimited VC money and zero blowback?

I took a shit, it's growing sentient and could surpass almost all humans at almost anything by 2027.

Yep.

Everyone keeps pointing at 2027 for a variety of world changing events. I’m kinda worried.

Entropywins@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

It'll be exactly like y2k or 2012...

That's great. AI can deal with all the shit that humans have to do like working, and we can all chill out and take it easy.

If so, then Politicians are likely to ban AI from participating in politics because they don't want competition to eat them up.

how about no, nerd.

Anthropic chief says AI could surpass “almost all humans at almost everything”

Agreed.

shortly after 2027

I doubt that.

I think that there are near-term things that have real value that one can build with existing approaches. However, I think that we are still a fair bit of research away from beating humans across the board.

Three years is "build a software package when you already know what you're doing", not "start on a grand research program" timescale.

Fuck I hope so. Humans should be replaced at everything by AI.

Then we'll be able to discuss what even makes a human. All of us dying and a couple of billionaires left to live alone is a desirable goal /s
