Bruce Schneier is an expert, not a crackpot. Not an outsider, not an outlier. Not a radical or someone prone to exaggeration. Someone to be listened to.

AI and Mass Spying

Spying and surveillance are different but related things. If I hired a private detective to spy on you, that detective could hide a bug in your home or car, tap your phone, and listen to what you s…

What he's saying here is almost self-evident, if you've understood how the technology of the last decade has been used by corporations.

If not for ourselves, we perhaps should consider if this is a satisfactory state of affairs to hand down to the next generation.

All of this makes me think, our best hope for future is a Super intelligence like what Iain Banks wrote in Culture series. Immensely powerful, but kind of treats humans like they matter, even though they don't :)

100% spot on. There's nothing "magic" about the human brain, other than it's incredible that evolution could have resulted in such an amazing thing. It is absolutely inevitable that man-made neural networks will soon be equally capable, and then a bit more capable and then a lot more capable and than massively more capable. Whilst we are limited by our own biology, synthetic AI will not be. It will be able to have more and more neurons, processing faster and faster and faster.

The thing that's actually pretty amazing is that GPT4 has around 100x less neurons than a human brain and yet it already knows more than any human on the planet. It understands umpteen languages and has the entire of wikipedia and umpteen other sources at its fingertips. We've invented a learning algorithm that is much better at learning than our own brains are.

There is something very magical about the human brain. We are taught how to learn.

Today’s ChatGPT challenge was to throw in a completely made up word (“hudemeflip”) into a conversational question. You, as a human, would be able to work out that made up word meant shop and be able to tell me other things to buy.



I changed the style of the question and it “seemed” to understand better.




It “feels” more like a parlour trick at this point. I just don’t see how we can replicate or improve on something like the human brain when we barely understand ourselves as it’s hard to observe in action. That said AI is going to be (and already is) an incredible tool.

We'll just wait a year or so and you will see.

Have you guys seen the new Google Gemini stuff just out? It's mind boggling already.

Gemini is powerful as fuck.
