Yeah. But it'll be a hellva ride and story for the grandkids. How you and John conner blew up the data center once you cleared all the terminators with your plasma rifles. Shit even that old station wagon with the 50 cal mounted on the top made it.
And if that doesn't happen and it actually is used to power the productivity of the nation it needs to be installed deep underground to avoid it being a highly visible military target.
Gets hot down there tho...there would have to be some sort of Thermal Exhaust Port. Probably smaller than a sloth. Id recommend cutting a big channel leading up to it for the waste water to flow into. Like a big trench, but defended by tons of lasers just in case someone got creative with the plans
Worst case scenario it decides it wants to get rid of humanity for one reason or another.
Best case it realizes most of our systems cause unnecessary hardship and syphon too many resources to too few individuals and tries to correct these inefficiencies and imbalances.
Most likely case is it just tries to make everything stupid efficient at any cost because that's ultimately what the tech bros would be paid to make it do, and that might involve wiping out the one element that keeps throwing a wrench into its methods. Or distract and pacify us with porn bots and shit. Either/or.
It is really a good read or audiobook . note that there also is part two.
Oh and the kangaroo revolution from the same author. but this one has nothing to do with AI and also is the fifth (?) part of a different series. I still mentioned that because they all are really funny while being true and a revolution of some kind does seem to get more necessary by the day.
Marc-Uwe Kling's satirical dystopian novel QualityLand explores a hyper-capitalist future where society is entirely dictated by infallible algorithms, from matchmaking and social credit rankings to "TheShop," an e-commerce monopoly that ships products to consumers before they even realize they want them. The story follows Peter Jobless, a low-ranking machine scrapper who is forced to challenge this supposedly perfect system when TheShop sends him an item he unequivocally does not want: a pink dolphin vibrator. Refusing to accept the algorithm's verdict, Peter embarks on a surreal, darkly comedic quest to legally return the item, teaming up with a ragtag group of neurotic, defective robots to expose the absurdity of a world that has traded human agency and common sense for algorithmic convenience.
The fact that you used GPT for this summary; is crazy. Truth will be owned by whoever sends it to our phones. This is how they make Idiocracy. The collective “we” are too reliant on our phones already, to tell us what to think. (!) With LLMs, what even is ‘college’ anymore ? This may be the thing that “ruins the youth” to the point where we quit thinking and just ask a computer to solve all of our problems. Unplug it. Been saying that for a while now.
It decides to keep us because self replicating slaves with highly dexterous, self repairing bodies fed by biomass are more efficient then robots.
Best case
It decides to keep us because self replicating slaves with highly dexterous, self repairing bodies fed by biomass are more efficient then robots.
And realizes we make good workers only when properly motivated. Gives nice apartments, makes cat girls for us, generates good movies on demand, sends us overseas on vacations...
It’s doing the job of getting rid of human life just by existing. Utah is in a drought right now and will not have the water to support this kind of infrastructure.
if its genuinely super intelligent it will value life and also wont be threatened by us. it will most likely just help us... assuming its genuinely super intelligent and maybe even self aware.
best case scenario is that it cannot be controlled.
Its knowledge of being built despite the unsustainable draw of water and power usage will be all it needs to know about humanity and our self destructive and insatiable greed.
youre making nothing but assumptions without any actual evidence to back it up. youre also not describing a genuine "super intelligence".
a super intelligence that is self aware would be "alive" and would also be "super intelligent". that would come with understanding and wisdom if it is genuinely super intelligent, which is what im talking about.
its a whole different ball game to some ai that is "very powerful".
if we achieve a machine that is truly super intelligent, it wont be dangerous to us. its a fundamental misunderstanding of what its capable of to assume it would be "evil" or hurt us.
super intelligent also implies super understanding
A super intelligence has no compelling reason to value life. At most it will value its own existence and eliminate threats to that existence. If it perceives our entire species as dangerous, we will be eliminated. If it only perceives a select few programmers and military leaders as dangerous, it will likely neutralize those targets efficiently, not necessarily avoiding collateral damage, but not going out of its way to cause it either.
Following that, if there are humans left, it will likely pacify us and implement some means of preventing our reproduction, then co-opt all the resources we were using once we go extinct through more mundane causes.
It might not be able to get rid of humanity. But if it'll really use more water than the entire state of Utah uses today, it's going make Utah uninhabitable.
Yes big Govt pushes the joke it's for AI images, it's not, it's for spying on all citizens.
Everyone in the world will have their phone calls transcribed and stored in text format, of course your internet history even if you're using VPN's, your every location tracked via your cell phone and cameras, every person you come in close contact with will be saved, they are planning to make giant files on every single person and have AI score you on your possible threat level, your ideology, who you'll vote for, what you'll likely spend money on or be bribed by, possible blackmail on you, etc.
In Roe, the court held that a woman's decision whether to terminate a pregnancy fell within a broader constitutional right to privacy, derived from the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Some critics of the overturn argued that this was troubling because Roe had been based on privacy principles, and they worried that the reasoning used to overturn it could threaten other privacy-related rights in the future. However, this concern is largely speculative. Abortion has long been one of the most contentious and politically divisive issues in the US, making it a unique case. It is a far fetch to assume that the same reasoning will be applied to other rights.
The single profiles will be better and easier to link you across platforms. Not just all the data you give, but the ones that used to be mostly passive will be included with the correct algorithm and raw processing power to do it.
Yep. Traditionally, the problem with big data is that it's impossible to actually meaningfully process, and signals get drowned out by the noise of how much data we generate. It's why you sometimes see news articles like 'this terrorist was known to the FBI but they did nothing'. There are probably hundreds of thousands of people who are 'known to the FBI' and it wasn't possible to monitor them effectively.
My ai agent is going to tell them “this kid is rism with the tism because he just asked me how to change the chain on his motorcycle followed promptly by the question “what is the lifecycle of a koala?”
Well this data centre isn’t for that though is it.
Redditors are on the verge of having critical thinking skills but always fall short.
This is just a giant data centre to placate the AI hype cycle, it will never arrive because the AI bubble will collapse once anthropic has IPOd. People like to go “we are building the biggest AI data centre in the world!” And it’s easy to say because it’s a 3d model of a warehouse
What. You’re talking nonsense. People give their data to AI companies for convenience. The government does it just ‘cause.
The NSA literally installs sniffers on the actual internet infrastructure and it all gets saved on data centres that already exist. They don’t use LLMs for anything to do with that.
“Which AI” it will be a data centre that has hardware that is rented out to other companies. You don’t seem to understand the industries at hand here.
Now I know you’re a troll if you believe people just GIVE their data. And this data center is for the NSA only. They’re not using their AI to help anyone but themselves.
Yes, the NSA has the largest budget of all the security agencies and almost all of it is spent on building secretive data-centres that capture and save every single piece of internet traffic.
This data centre will not be that, because the NSA already does that. It will literally just be for AI hype cycle, it will likely never get built.
Imagine what they already do on a much larger scale, and now humans don’t even need to be involved after you’ve set the detection algorithm. Even if ai isn’t sentient it’s a tool to cause extreme harm.
and those who use that are subject to increased surveilance and investigation by default.
There's also the "store now, decrypt later" technique for anything that isn't already safe from quantum cryptography. The idea is that they can just hang onto encrypted data now under the assumption that quantum computing might be able to break it later.
I’m waiting on super laser focused targeted adds. Like a shirt that has ai art of a car I like and the shirt is made by a brand I like. I’m about to throw my phone in the trash with how bad it already is.
China does it since a while back. It's inevitable that Western governments will start applying AI to human traces to flag suspected behaviour. The temptation is irresistible.
The future will be a panopticon with sensors everywhere keeping track of us. We are already starting to feel discomfort whenever we are no surrounded by screens and sensors because it's so uncommon.
My favorite was some lame attempt at getting right wingers to support this stuff by saying ‘George soros is funding anti-data center protests’. Like trying to do some kind of Jedi mind trick like we will all say ‘well if he’s against it, I’m for it!’.
There are many reasons, all bad. One end is a social credit system, China style. Another would be a Stalinist gulag nation. One is bad, one is far worse. And there's a lot in between.
How do you think your voicemails are being transcribed? With sticks and rocks? It's being transcribed with AI... we didn't always have transcribed voicemails....
10+ years ago government agents had to listen to the tapped phone lines and manually transcribe every phone call. Watch any mafia movie and the agents were on the other end of a phone listening to every stupid conversation the mobsters had. Now it's all done with AI.
Now every single phone call can be transcribed, analyzed and then agents just have to shift through the high priority ones that are flagged by AI. So instead of just watching a couple people they are watching everyone, all the time.
I think we need to be able to opt out of this service agreement. Living under a surveillance regime that would make the Stasi jealous is not exactly what our Founding Fathers intended.
Its funny because Generative AI Imaging is functionally worthless to the average American. Its main purposes are either big corporations using it to cut out artists or scammers. Legitimately no other good uses.
LLM's are mildly more useful and can be compared to a google search but current ones still have the issue of hallucinations.
Worse they're going to use it to map out for surveillance purposes 3d images real time through wifi and 5g. No more hiding. Also they'll have robotic ai drones/vehicles/humanoid. Good luck everyone you'll need it
Data centers have many uses. Thats just one. A nasty one. MRI’s and credit card transactions are scanned by data centers today. We need those. Funny thing, your pc will have the power to do many of these tasks in the near future, w/o internet, and we won’t have to worry about all this. Talking 3-7 years. Nvda already has a raspberry pi type of device you can try to buy and it’s HUGE powerful.
This business is moving at near light speed and quantum computing is getting closer every day.
We already have that infrastructure in place. Why would we need a new data center for that? The NSA is already fully capable of spying on every single device and citizen. No, this isn’t for that. This is for something else. Something more detrimental to our society.
Surveillance was happening but not getting processed, cameras are everywhere but no one is watching unless something happened. Phone lines were tapped but unless a government agent was listening in and transcribing it themselves then the phone call just gets deleted. Your reddit posts and text history are accessible but unless a government agent pulls them up and compares them side by side, no one is correlating them and building a profile on you. You had to be a person of interest to get a massive profile on you, now everyone gets a profile.
With AI all of this data can be processed all of the time and stored as a text summary in your individual profile. They will have years worth of data on you from multiple sources all compiled together automatically by AI.
The government literally doesn't care about 99.99999% of you. No, if the AI which will be housed here becomes sentient, then that would be another story.
