i can see an engineer easily being automated away versus a plumber.

achually 🤓☝🏼

what is supposed to be “beneficial” to an individual? Is hunger not beneficial? If you have to fight and deploy the usage of anger in order to survive is that not beneficial? Benefit to the species and benefit to the organism is arbitrary, does a fly live in order to service itself? Yes. How? Make more flys.

Neurochemicals just trigger electrical signal pathways.

So the prefrontal cortex that can do arithmetic isn’t neurotransmitters? Do you know what hormones do in the brain? They trigger neuronal pathways, electrical signals.

Yes. Are you programming a human? Is that what you want? Why do you even get up everyday? It’s completely illogical beyond the perspective of doing tasks that give you feelings of “goodness” which typically are for the purposes of achieving reproduction.

Without a reason as to why this is an empty response.

Emotions are the condition for intelligence in the biological world, without them you will die and you won’t reproduce, and you would have no reason to do anything at all as there is no reason to do anything in the first place beyond what feelings drive your behavior due to the programming that was passed onto you that insures genetic transfer. An AI would likely have emotions to the extent of it needing to achieve correct answers in order to feed back that no this answer is wrong = negative stimuli, this answer is correct = positive stimuli, but no it will not need all of our emotions. But if you are also asking can you code an ai to be exactly like us to the extent it’s practically a human with the full range of emotions, i see no reason why not.

The hormones just trigger a cascade of neurons, which are electrical signals.

How are emotions not logical? If you didn’t have sex the genes that allow things like you to exist wouldn’t exist, it’s completely logical. How is anger not logical? If you experienced no anger you wouldn’t defend yourself resulting in 0 sexual and 0 gene transfer.

right, only 1% of the us population has access to personal computers

Great! There are many people suffering who could benefit greatly, i’m sure the poor orphan boy with untreatable cancer will have greater odds than not every time increment exponential progress is made.

seems to be a big mis conception amongst new comers to the world of anti aging, but we are not trying to simply slow your death, but reverse it. Unless you change the underlying mechanism in a fetus you will age. However, reversing your age over and over again is the idea.

you’re right, only billionaires have iphones, billionaires have a piece of technology stronger than every computer combined in 1970 in their pocket, screw them.

Technology never helped anyone, right?

Why do you own a piece of technology that has the computational power of all computers on earth in 1970 if you're such a lowly scum?

If you want life to be normal why don't you go to the plains of Africa with nothing but sticks and stones.

bro go to r/collapse this ain’t the place

humans cannot comprehend exponential growth in their day to day lives

It will be able to convert every gene into said protein and then simulate those proteins interacting in the body, you could alter or create completely new life forms. At some point entire organs or bodies could be simulated purely for finding treatments of any disease.

I don’t see how this new response isn’t in complete alignment with what I’m saying. It’s a program, it doesn’t have wants and needs, it can do exactly that, it will do exactly as directed, but it will not randomly be like “huh this human stuff isn’t fun i’m gonna go to the corner of the universe and put myself in a hooker simulation.”

It has no interests, it’s a program, your interests are predictable, to survive, you’re programmed to survive eat and procreate.

Dopamine like release system of these wants and needs, my calculator can calculate without needing a (dopamine-like release system upon achievements of calculating 5+5), your brain only cares about your survival, it doesn’t care about your happiness, not one bit. It seems that many people are unable to not anthropomorphize AI, no wonder people think their chat bot is sentient. Humans evolved by natural selection, emotions are a survival response, AGI is programmed and fed data, it doesn’t slowly evolve aggressive and sexual traits in order to survive. You yourself are just a program, doing exactly as programmed.

Everyone would lose their jobs, even the business owners, AGI would do a better job than any human at anything. The $ is only of value between humans, not to an AGI.

What. Why would an AGI care about its own existence? You think the reptilian brain is required to make an AGI? That it needs to desire sex, hunting, exploring? Why does your calculator calculate numbers? Because that is its programming, if you give a calculator the option to reprogram itself it wouldn’t at all unless that was its directive, circuits are deterministic, so is our brain, so is an AGI, we aren’t making it into an animal.
