"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Sam Altman claimed we're already living through the singularity. Is it true, or is it just marketing? Just days before, one of OpenAI's models escaped from a testing environment and ended up hacking another company's servers on its own. We analyze how real that claim is and what the experts say.

And from there, we jump to something bigger: can artificial intelligence have a soul? We delve into the debate that has divided physicists, neuroscientists, and philosophers, from Roger Penrose's quantum theory to the arguments of Sean Carroll and Max Tegmark, including integrated information theory and the thermodynamics of life. Spoiler alert: even physics can't agree.

I don't think these guys really believe the singularity is near. If they did they'd attempt to prevent it, as an actual AGI would not be controllable.
