RE: Time to Embrace AI: Entry Level Machine Learning Hardware is Cheap!

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

"There are very few tasks a well trained AI or AI powered robot will not be able to outperform or dollar cost ratio crush human intelligence at."

I disagree. For a great many tasks I do, which require packing heavy things up ladders, or tunneling underground, and then manipulating items as fine as needles, that flexibility isn't going to soon be potential to electromechanical devices. Additionally, my understanding of the state of the art leaves me convinced our almost complete incomprehension of consciousness leaves AGI utterly impossible presently, and there seems to be no route to it being developed, specifically because we don't even know what 'it' is.

Neural nets will never achieve it.

There are some tasks to which algorithms are suited, and I think ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion are leveraging those capabilities. Painting gables will likely require a dedicated vehicle and algorithms, or several (setting up a ladder is a far different task than climbing one with a paintbrush), so one depriving me of that fun and profit will only arise if a market for it is profitable. If that's all I did, then I'd see that a market did exist and worry. Since I also do an incredible variety of stuff, including tunneling underneath structures that support for has collapsed in a flood, and installing laminate on countertops, the flexibility of the human body and our ability to deploy conscious thought and not just search for published solutions really eclipses anything I think can be achieved by robots and AI before I am dead and ashes.

Something I think will revolutionize decentralization is automation of production for 3D printers, aquaponics, power production, and the variety of decentralized means of production being developed that presently require laymen to climb learning curves to deploy. Managing a suite of decentralized means of production to meet continuing needs (without exceeding them and creating waste) also comes to mind. An app that diagnosed illness would also dramatically change the medical industry and reduce our vulnerability to it's increasing militarization, as well as printing with molecules to create our own pharmaceuticals.

Screw Big Pharma asswise.

Another is enabling extant hardware to extend it's utility. For example, the Carbon X1 3D printer has lidar. This is used to ease bed leveling, and to check 1st layer adhesion and conformance. However, lidar can be far more useful, and applications of lidar to additive manufacturing can make build plates obsolete, eliminate build volume by facilitating robotic arm accuracy, or facilitate periodic repairs of parts that wear, preventing wholesale replacement, and many more such things, particularly in concert with computer vision, and 3D scanning. I think lidar is an underappreciated technology today, and I hope to see it quickly become far more useful, particularly in additive manufacturing.

These are some ideas I hope will enable you to profit greatly from increasing the development and dispersal of decentralization to more rapidly usher in the coming paradise. I know you code, and I want code that does these things! However, I have no doubt you have more than enough ideas to keep you happily busy with your new investments, so disregard anything I have to say, which is, oddly, what the most successful people I know seem to do. =p

Thanks!

I think the trades are safe up until they start normalizing 3D printing houses and shit.

They already have surgery robots that use human input to do very fine surgery shit over the internet.. Nothing the doctor does in that situation an AI won't be able to be trained on.. Sure maybe you keep one person in the loop or something, but as far as grunt work and shit goes.. There will be no need for it.. Probably why we are seeing the mRNA depopulation shit going on imo.

You have some points there.. The cost to develop a countertop fitting bot and shit would be impractical for the time being. As a person who wears many hats myself I know that half of what I do can be replaced and I'm ok with that. Not all the tasks in the day I do or whatever are enjoyable.

3D printing / additive manufacturing fucks (rocks) for lack of a better term.. the ability to prototype things at home or make molds for casting stuff taht plastic isn't a proper material is nuts. On the decentralization idea I 100% agree. relying on the powers / corpos at be is a hell of a bad idea.. as they have not our best interest in mind but control, profit and power.

Funny you menti9on the diagnosis stuff.. Actually have a buddy that is working on that for medical imaging and I'm helping with the training of that, guy has the resources to build top of the line compute machines and the amount of training data to pull it off.. Will be a hell of a project. Squaring off against guys like GE medical division is appealing to me.

LIDAR is fucking nuts... Hell a lot of the EMF/RF shit they have now a days both in public and black projects would put 1984 to shame. Won't get into the "conspiracy woo woo" shit but if people knew the capabilities of EMF spectrum manipulation and the way they are spraying chemtrails into the sky to increase the conductivity of everything they'd shit themselves. Hell even working on RADAR stuff locally here, with a few software defined radios and some craft algo implementation even things like WIFI cards can actually become sensing units!

Coding the stuff and learning to overcome the challenges that putting ideas into creation is half the fun for me.. If it was easy everyone would develop stuff. It's an ability to apply ingenuity.. and that is where I find meaning in life.

lol, as far as comments go you're up there in the show of thought, it's never mindless shit and I always appreciate the push back and alternative view point to help keep my own views more realistic or atleast see what someone else thinking about this shit is working through objectively. Cheers!

"...the EMF/RF shit they have now a days..."

The laws of physics are unequivocal. It's very simple to show that if A-B=C then C+B=A. Every microphone is a speaker, and every camera is a monitor - and vice versa. More doesn't need to be said.

"...you're up there..."

Another person that has received comment from me put things a little differently. He said I was 'out there'. LOL
