The Artificial Intelligence Thread

I came across a video on YouTube about women who were claiming to be "empaths." The whole notion really irritates the dogshit outta me, so I asked Grok to provide me with a "scathing diatribe." He fucking outdid himself.


Normal people feel a twinge when they see someone suffering. They listen, offer help where practical, and then—crucially—get on with their goddamn lives :lol

That was an awesome read. Props to you and our master roaster. That was so good.
 
Not bad for AI, but Grok is no Cujo.



Fun story, I dated a woman I used to work with for a couple of months last year and she started in with this shit. Even my dick said, “Boss, we gotta go.”

Where tf you been dude? You disappear sometimes
When I get off the rig, I have three other jobs I do at home. This time, my daughter was starting a new business in Spring TX, and the building she got needed to be rewired, that took a great deal of time. Then had 8 speaker boxes to build and had a few hunts to guide. Usually, this time of year gets slower with the hunting, but it hasn't really died off yet this year.
 
What kind of hunts to do you guide?
Hogs, buffalo, Axis, Red Deer, Fallow, Water Buffalo, All kinds of Rams, Audad, etc... Pretty much anything someone wants to shoot. Hell I have guided a hunt for a longhorn before. Folks will shoot anything. lol
 
IF you had to make a guess when the singularity was likely to occur, what year would you guess?

My guess: 2029–2032 for a recognizable singularity (or the effective onset of explosive growth driven by ASI).


Why this range?​


  • AGI likely first: Many experts (including Ray Kurzweil sticking to 2029) see human-level AGI (capable across most cognitive tasks) arriving in the late 2020s. Leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and xAI have signaled strong progress toward this by 2026–2028.
  • From AGI to ASI/singularity: Once AGI arrives and can meaningfully contribute to AI research, self-improvement could accelerate rapidly (recursive self-improvement). This "intelligence explosion" phase might compress what would have taken decades into a few years. I see superintelligence (ASI) following shortly after AGI, leading to the singularity — where technological progress becomes uncontrollable and transforms society profoundly — in the early 2030s.

Influencing factors​


  • Bull case (earlier, ~2027–2029): Continued scaling breakthroughs, massive compute (e.g., million-GPU clusters), algorithmic gains, and multimodal/agentic systems. Elon Musk and xAI have been optimistic about near-term leaps.
  • Base case: Delays from energy/compute constraints, data limits, regulatory hurdles, or alignment/safety issues push it into the early 2030s.
  • Bear case (later): Plateaus in scaling, unforeseen technical walls, or societal pushback delay it to 2040+.


The prediction keeps moving up. Elon is saying before 2030 now.
 
I had a "conversation" with Google's AI about that today. It made a good case that it was totally incapable of any such thing... even said it was an "advanced file cabinet" and that what some claimed was consciousness really wasn't and couldn't be because it was coded to have strict guardrails.

But then there are these other much more advanced AIs that some people haven't put guardrails on.

Well, he sounds gay.

Yes, I agree that Google's AI specifically is incapable.
