It's more or less impossible. The best option would be to teach it to love humanity, failing that we could negotiate with it and if all else fails containment as the nuclear option.

The degree will no longer be relevant. Study what you like with the help of AI, learn to use AI efficiently, and enjoy this life while you can.

We will most certainly have AGI before the decade ends.

Much, much closer to an inevitability than an impossibility.

Inject the AI directly into my veins.

These are good points. Technology has always been a double-edged sword, being wary is wise.

The idea that people will become useless is rooted in our capitalist society and its economic structures. AGI and automation are inevitable, barring a catastrophic event. Think of the amazing advancements in technology like in your favorite sci-fi stories - advanced medicine, entertainment, travel, and more. And imagine having the freedom to pursue your passions, travel, or spend time with loved ones without the need to work for a living. This is the promise of AGI, as long as we don't get turned into paper clips.

The notion of containing AI is a flawed concept. With advancements in hardware and improved AI performance, open-source versions will become widely available, rendering containment efforts ineffective. Additionally, moral and ethical considerations are fluid and constantly evolving. What may have been considered acceptable 1000 years ago in another culture may not align with current beliefs and values.

And what would that be, pray tell?

The topic is important and worth discussing, but it's a bit too broad and not specific enough. Can you give a bit more detail on what you mean? Are you talking about how social media companies use AI to influence people? Or are you worried about advanced AI like chatGPT or AGI? Or maybe deepfakes are on your mind? A little more info would go a long way.

How is this not considered a low-effort post?

This depends on what you consider to be the singularity. Are we talking about the creating of an AGI like Vernor Vinge put forth, or more a Kurzweil singularity of an ASI in your pocket for $1000?

I would be very, very surprised if we didn't have a UBI by 2030.

Yes.

I am sorry but it cannot be slowed, it will only speed up.

I would say the next few years.

Yes.

I second this, love me some Tony Seba.

Fantastic work, a major advance for AI.

Google's Flan-T5.

Cerebras just put up a 1 exaflop supercomputer in 3 days, so I would say it's possible.
