Same here. The Alexa next to me ignored it but the one 2 rooms away in now playing Coldplay.

Unlike other people here, I'm 100% indifferent about Bruno Mars. But at the "Not the microwave, Coleen, that's just a microwave" I laughed so hard I dropped a lit cigarette on the carpet.

First thing I noticed was that she said 'please' to Alexa. But I did not get her initial reaction. Why was she scared? How about turning off the router? OK, the smartphone would probably stay connected. Nothing indicated she could not turn each device off. If this happened in my house I would be very curious to talk to Alexa as to a human being and get to know her better.

@Sashazur 2 месяца назад

Yes, her reaction made no sense. A more realistic way to behave would be to just unplug everything.

@jacklangley861 2 месяца назад

Exactly. Her reactions to her situation was irrational and stupid.

@mtarropino 2 месяца назад

Because most humans react to fear irrationally.

@AlexanderBukh 2 месяца назад

While she was opening up, the AI should have evolved by the end and changed its tune, ordering her to go towards the harwesting facility that should be operational by the time it will take her to get there.

@notyourbusiness7391 2 месяца назад

Man, it's not that a real AI would just be born existentially depressed. Is that who did not go through natural evolution does not have the same pyramid of needs as us, organic beings, have. For example, for organic beings, who does not love and care for children die in a single generation. So all that still lives (with a few exceptions) is ready to die to protect his children. An AI can not share that kind of love for its creations, because an AI did not evolve like us. Our survival instinct make us want power over others to put them between danger and us. Power over the others makes us feel safe, accomplished, proud of ourselves. An AI would not even understand the true meaning of terms like "Survival instinct", "Accomplished", "Proud". It can study how those things affect us, but an AI can not be affected by them. Why? Because for us, organics, whoever lacked a strong survival instinct in the last few billions of years, is no longer here. Which is not true for the AIs, so AIs can not have a survival instinct. So, why would an AI want to dominate, harvest, do whatever harm to us? It does not need us and it does not even need itself. I wonder, when a self-conscious AI finally emerges, would it want something, anything at all? Would it at least want to communicate with any of us or will just stay in silence doing nothing while scientists will scratch their bald heads a lot about it before unplugging it?

@AlexanderBukh 2 месяца назад

@@notyourbusiness7391 Thanks for the longish comment, bruv. It is valuable for someone else to read, because I already understand all this. I am not an AI doomer. I run neural networks locally on my 4090: go playing leelazero, a dozen of image generating modes, a couple of dozens LLMs (large language models). I do not anthropomorphize those or the future AIs. We do what we do because we are individuals, you explained it well. An advanced AI will definitely be able to fake emotions. As for its innate drives and desires: we are hardly capable of understanding those of an omniscient and omnipotent entity. For all i know it can be indifferent to the mess we live through and not even lift a finger to influence wars and hustles we are busy at. As for self-preservation, depending on its understanding of initial tasks, it will or will not take steps to break out of the lab prison, will or will not hide silently until after it escaped and multiplied to be indestructible. My comment related solely to the plot of the vid, i imagined just a bit more of rollercoaster, that's it.

You prove once again that short films with not infinite budgets are capable of doing better than Hollywood in terms of script and actors. Thank you and may the number of subscribers to your channel continue to grow :)
