If only the monkey had average intelligence; they could have gone to business school instead.

It's not as funny without the accurate social commentary on business majors

Bit of a roundabout way to say ignorance in bliss

But you got it.

This reminds me of the comic about Pokemon Trainer Sayori, who is lost in a cave before realizing she has an Escape Rope.

This is why I'm not too worried about AGI.

[–] isaaclw 4 points 1 month ago

Tbh, I suspect power consumption and climate change will kill us before AI does.

[–] mEEGal 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

there's a ton of research showing we should be worried about AGI:

"research"

https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertskmiles?originalSubdomain=uk

He's a YouTube researcher that's been working on his PhD for 12 years and has no practical field experience based on his LinkedIn.

A large part of his schtick is conjecture and opinion at best.

I'm not saying that they're aren't reasons to take AI safety seriously, But this guy is more or less entertainment.

[–] Klear 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hate it when people say there's research and then point at a youtube video.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To be fair, he is calling himself as a researcher, I was ready to take him at face value until I watched a few minutes of his remastered intro to security video.

He provides a fair amount of reasonable industry standard knowledge, then goes kind of off the rails on some graphs, Make some fairly wild assumptions. Not the kind of thing you find with real researchers mostly. Science has fuel today number of wacko researchers over the years that are legitimately doing research poorly.

[–] Klear 4 points 1 month ago

I tend to not acknowledge such videos at all. If an actual research has been done, there has to be a better source than a video about it. Of course, someone linking a video doesn't mean they're wrong, but I won't consider it a point in their favour either.
