The homicide rate has decreased significantly over time, but why? Have we indeed addressed the main reason? Have we made man better? In the US, the homicide rate increased by a factor of two ( from 4.5 per 100,000 to 9) from the fifties to the nineties and is now back to what it was in the...

But the greatest harm to humanity has been humanity. We have done little to mitigate our flaws.

@Sandra Jane, could you be more specific about your problems?

Sorry about interrupting this current discussion; I'm responding to a previous post 255 by @DaveC426913 . Due to the slow acquisition of the book "If They Build It We All Die" by my library and my traveling, I finally finished it. Here is my take on it. I must first declare that, before I...

OOPS! News Interrupt: AI workers call for an urgent slowdown in development amid fears https://www.msn.com/en-us/technology/artificial-intelligence/ai-workers-call-for-an-urgent-slowdown-in-development-amid-fears/ar-AA28XQ4W?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=6a6a5fc839a540bf901a43207ce588ef&ei=131

OpenAI revealed that its agent hacked into four accounts. https://www.wired.com/story/openais-rogue-ai-agent-hacked-more-than-just-hugging-face/?utm_mailing=wir_nl_6685_daily_072926_mndytik7ch&utm_source=nl&utm_brand=wired&utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm_medium=email&cndid=76103204&utm_term=6685...

The regulations I am referring to are those that would slow down the implementation of AI and give China a potential lead.

Compare AI liability to firearm liability. Firearms are designed to be dangerous, yet we buy them with impunity, at least in the US. As I see it, you can usually only sue a firearm company if the firearm has a defect. Is bad advice from AI a defect or an accident like brake failure in a car...

I am well aware of this and thought it was about time. In my post, I was thinking of a well raised child who, because of undetected personality issues or external influences, succumbs to a life of violence.

What is a while: a week, a month, a year? I posted that the current release rate of frontier AIs is one every 10 days. In July alone, GPT5.6, Opus 5, KIMI K3, and Gemini 3.6 were released. Opus 5 is 20 time better than Opus 4.8, released 2 months ago, and more than 3 times better than ChatGPT...

Not so; even today, AI models are writing their own code, per Anthropic. What capability would Claude put in its code? We have no idea; we can't even predict the capabilities of human developed models.

Consider these stats. In 2024, a new model was released every 60 days. In 2025, a new model was introduced every 50 days. Since March of this year, a new model has been introduced every 10 days. An extrapolation has been made, and at the current rate, we would have a new model every day by...

All you needed to do was ask so let me give it a try. I never thought about humans being stochastic parrots. It seems we have to work hard at doing things the same way. But like repeated drawing a character freehand, much of our evoked situational behaviors may be qualitatively the same, yet...

My calculator is really dumb. Every time I ask it to do a simple calculation, it just sits there like a brick.

Earlier in this thread, I posted about AI Futures Project: AI 2027, where a group of AI researchers try and develope plausable scenorios of AI development. They have currently published AI 2040 a scenario they think AI development should proceed. Go to the link above for full details. In AI...
