'Terms of Service' and the sequel 'The Prophecy of the Heron' are good
reads. The author, Craig Stanfill, has a PhD in AI and spent most of his
career working in the field.

Piss the AIs off and you can spend your days arguing with your
refrigerator. Keep on the refrigerator's good side or you'll be eating a
lot of kale and quinoa.

Kim starts off training AIs. I got a bad sense of deja vu when I saw this article in a tech newsletter this morning:

Everybody is talking about the artificial intelligence behind ChatGPT.
Less noticed is a jobs market mushrooming around the technology, where
these newly created roles can pay upwards of $335,000 a year.
And for many a computer engineering degree is optional.

They’re called “prompt engineers,” people who spend their day coaxing the AI to produce better results and help companies train their workforce to harness the tools.

The US govt is getting involved in 'AI' development.

Chat 3.5 is already scary "smart" - it can pass the
old Turing Test easily ... coming across as some guy
you met at Starbucks. Chat 4.0 is almost ready for
prime-time ... wider capabilities, smoother delivery.

Chat also has the unsettling ability to write, and
then improve, computer programs to handle whatever
you want. This is basically the ability to rewire
its own "brain".

What would happen if you let a bunch of Chat instances
talk to each other for awhile ?

Rule of thumb - if you fake something WELL ENOUGH
then it isn't fake anymore. There may be many paths
to de-facto "consciousness".

In any case, govt pre-emptive suppression of a rapidly
emerging broad technology based on worrisome possible
uses/misuses is rather rare. Likely some EU govts will
take the same tact.

Of course Russia and China have likely already stolen
the Chat code and will put it to THEIR uses ... which
will quickly result in an "AI Gap" with serious national
security implications.

I heard on the radio this morning that AI robots are set to replace
referees in college and professional sports. Not paying their salaries
will leave more money for the billionaires and overpaid college coaches.
Perhaps the coaches and their assistants will also be replaced.
