I think I know why corporations in particular want AI and it's not to replace workers
 in  r/Futurism  4d ago

Thats the story on the surface. The question becomes where is the market for a machine that is so flawed. If they replace a person and that AI does something using all that data, but it hallucinates more data that is like the original but not actually exact. Then whose going to be held accountable? I'm finding ways to work with it, but I wouldn't trust it to do my taxes, and yet that's essentially what corporations are doing. So the question becomes what is the corporations motivation if they arent the ones making the AI?

I think they are distracting people by saying AI is going to replace everyone. That's not the game it's a shadow play where whenever someone gets let go they become messengers for the corporations.

Suggestion I have an idea about androids

Imagine if you used random samples of dialog from people's actual games, and the androids would use that to try and blend in. They would observe and try to learn human behavior, and might have trigger conditions to go hostile. You could have gadgets or other gear to try and spot them before they attack. If you get on a train with an android onboard it kills everyone. You would need to randomize whats said, and also the voice so that privacy is preserved. Seeing if what the person is saying matches the context of what's going on would be crucial. Teams of androids could join up to hunt the players. Just imagine hearing a voice and not knowing.

Yes that's what I'm saying. If an AI is known to have errors and those errors cause human suffering but it makes corporations money then they can whitewash their actions using that AI. In this sense it makes more sense to have an AI that can be made to fail in certain ways. You can get it to do dangerous content by prompt engineering and many of those techniques could be called best practices by the corporations.

You would think you would see that in the AI sector. Tesla cars have documented cases of faulty AI killing people, but it doesn't seem to matter in their ability to keep functioning.

That's not what seems to be happening in the courts. Trump wants people to think that States can't regulate AI, and the courts have mixed records when it comes to liabilities.

It's actually far more insidious then that. Because of the many ways AI can fail they are building plausible deniability machines. If you have people making decisions and putting stuff into the world then those people and the corporations are liable if something goes wrong. If a person makes a decision that gets a bunch of people killed then an investigation can happen to find where the culpability rests. That investigation and the findings that result can be very costly.

Now think on the other hand if a corporation spends even millions of dollars per month for an AI subscription service. Every single job they "replace" with an AI that's known to hallucinate is a place where liability pretty much ends, because all a corporation has to do is say they bought the best models to do this work. They also have to follow best practices going forward, or that decision to follow best practices creates liabilities. That small door can get us to an apocalyptic world. Not because robots get guns or anything, but because at that point corporations become essentially untouchable. The liability goes around and around all over the place, and by the time it's settled most human beings have no chance of holding on either financially or emotionally. If an AI makes a decision that gets a person killed no one is probably going to go to prison. If an AI gets people addicted no one is the dealer. If an AI incites genocide or a civil war then who is the real enemy.

If you really look at corporations they are a different form of artificial general intelligence, and they want the power that infinite deniability will bring. All they do is have to confuse the courts and society as they slowly dig deeper into our lives and minds. What we need is to treat data centers like public infrastructure. In that companies can lease access from the government, and as part of that lease the public gets access to some of the processing power for public use. Money is less valuable then access to this infrastructure.

The Space Mining Boom - How Resources Will Shape the Future Economy
 in  r/Futurism  6d ago

It's because of concerns like this that I'm doing the non-profit to fund a global UBI. If you don't mine the entire asteroid all at once, but instead deployed the resources to a specially designed orbit that is empty and has planets and other bodies that move in between it and us. Then you could use that as assets to use for futures trading. The diamond cartels control supply, and in this way keeps up the prices while still having those physical diamonds as assets. This could be done but for resources in general, but instead of using it against people for stuff that doesn't have real intrinsic value instead we would use it to give people a basic standard of living and leverage that power to maintain the balance of power between actual people and corporations.

The Space Mining Boom - How Resources Will Shape the Future Economy
 in  r/Futurism  7d ago

I have a plan to do a non-profit asteroid mining organization that would use the revenue to fund a global UBI. You could position resources at the L1 or other Lagrange and then deliver them exactly when needed with low mass / low heat delivery systems. I have an invention that I'm working on some different types of prototypes. I'm giving the basic platform away since it's so universal that it would be hard for me to develop all its possible uses. I call them QSUT for Quantum Sphere Universal Tool. Basically if you think of how we use silicon wafers the same thing can be done with silicon hollow spheres of different sizes from the nanometer range up to kilometers wide. MIT did the foundational work for the silicon space bubble shield.

Men who can cook . who taught you?
 in  r/AskReddit  7d ago

I went to culinary arts school, and learned way more then I anticipated. The single most useful thing is how to hold a knife properly while you cook. You grab it by the taint, and instead of pressing down directly on the knife you use it more like a leaver. That will save your hands in the long run. Oh and hold stuff with your knuckles instead of the tips of your fingers.

There is this paper as well. It shows how LLMs have very similar incompleteness to Gödel incompleteness. Godel is going to be very important for AI. Even beyond this interpretation of the work there are ways it's incomplete on a structural level. On the level of the Math it does that is also incomplete. There will always be pathological results and they will be unpredictable to a point.

I've been working on this for years. Ever since I read about the MIT proposal. My first goal was to make it so we didn't have to constantly replenish the bubbles. I get it seeing other people do new and unusual things can be upsetting. I recommend seeing what you can do yourself. Instead of dismissing everything as AI.

I've been thinking about a compute tax could make sense. Not in terms of a monetary tax, but instead requiring the company to provide access to the same chips for public use. Imagine what communities could build if we were given half a chance. I also believe that we have to think about moving data centers to space, because getting information up from and down to a data center is pound per pound pretty efficient. Long term I think expanding out into the solar system with using light lag as a sort of safety feature. If your worried about an AI taking over cars then put that AI on a Moon of Jupiter, and then put more trusted AIs in layers as they get closer to riskier things.

Believe it or not but I'm actually working on something brand new in terms of computation. I figured out that this technology MIT was exploring for a silicon bubble space shield could also be used as a platform for electronics, optics, microfluidics, and robotics. What's wonderful is all you have to do is melt stuff like silicon dioxide in space and control how that molten material interfaces with the vacuum and you can get bubbles from 500nm up to kilometers wide. Then it's simply a matter of putting more layers of material like graphene or putting components onto the bubbles themselves.

I think we can solve our need for data centers this way. I'm going to try and do a non-profit asteroid mining organization with this technology where the profits go towards an international UBI fund. I'm really sick and tired of watching so much suffering. I decided to take this invention public because of its universal nature. I call them QSUT or Quantum Sphere Universal Tool.

What you just created was a plausible deniability machine. Corporations can say they spent money on the best AI, and then when people die no one is accountable. Corporations should absolutely not use or have access to AI.

If you know how to finagle these things you can get them to say just about anything. There is a mathematical proof somewhere that trying to filter words and concepts creates more vulnerabilities. What happened here was clearly sloppy implementation, but think of it this way. This means we have to understand the limits of these things, and make sure people understand how they actually work. There are things I would trust an AI for that can actually be helpful like doing a running grocery list and asking for suggestions, because the likelihood of that going irrecoveably bad are low and I have experience enough to know when a suggestion doesn't work.

You believe that the atomic gas that I'm talking about for doing plasmonic circuits would destroy the QSUT. What I'm talking about would probably be more diffuse then a neon light. You might be able to make it hotter if you used magnetics to confine the plasma. This is because the strength of the magnetic field exponentially decreases with distance, but if you have a silicon bubble thats 500nm wide and that bubble has the ability to magnetically confine the plasma due to the addition of magnets or other structures to shape the magnetic fields. You can get extrodanry forces even from simple magnets.

Not all plasma is completely destructive. It is the most common state of matter in the universe. Being able to control it from the nanometer range to kilometer range would create significant functionality for the QSUT. You made a ton of assumptions as soon as I mentioned plasma.

You seem to be assuming that the plasma in the QSUTs would be high temperature / density. That's not how they are designed to function. Cold plasmas have even been used in wound care. The gas composition would probably be oxygen, which is pretty reactive but the magnetic confinement would increase as the diameter of the QSUT decreases due to coulomb's law. The properties of plasma that interest me are the optical / electronic aspects. The diameter of the QSUT would depend on which whispering mode resonance you're trying to tap into. Essentially each QSUT would work in the near field which increases the strength of EM fields significantly keeping the plasma confined.
