Stop believing this bullshit. Those glorified algorithms are incapable of doing anything they've not been programmed to do in the first place. There's never gonna be a Skynet.
They can't. They can only 'learn' within the parameters set by the developers. It's marketing bullshit. No AI is ever going to do anything they haven't been programmed to do so. Because they're just millions upon millions lines of "if then" code.
Lol you really know nothing about how AI works. It uses neural networks with weightings derived from training data, not if statements. AI developers couldn't possibly write if statements for all the different types of things people ask them to do. And we've seen AI can talk about and make images of things that weren't in its training data because of course there's no training data about an alternate universe where the main chemical element is chocolate-flavored uranium and the dominant species are cat-like mosquitoes that worship grains of rice.
Zero LLMs are self-learning. They are trained on trillions of words, and once trained they are locked in that state and can't update their own weights in any meaningful way (learn).
If you define it that way, then yes, but LLMs can build on their own ideas repeatedly, and AutoGPT for example can research things online and make decisions based on what it "learnt". I doubt having an AI that can update its own weights would be very difficult, but updating them in a useful way is what's difficult. Still, that may be something AIs in the future do, if they're still using neural networks, that is.
Much like we'll never have calculators everywhere we go? Or humans never being able to fly or fabricste materials to build with that don't ecist in nature? Or never convince rocks to do math really fast and let you read this?
"Thing will never happen" is a terrible premise to work from. People are pretty damn good at pushing the envelope.
"Thing will never happen" is a terrible premise to work from.
Falling for obvious marketing bullshit is a terrible premise to work from. I'm not saying that AI algorithms do not have their uses or are completely pointless. I'm saying AI will never be actually intelligent i.e. develop a consciousness. So no Skynet is not going to happen.
But what AI will be used for is surveillance at a scale that would even make the Stasi cream their pants.
Consciousness isn't needed for results that look like intelligence. And sentience or malice aren't needed either for AI to kill us all because someone asked it to make a nuke. In fact, AI isn't even needed to kill us all, it only takes some advancements in gain-of-function research or some breakthroughs in nuclear technology. Technology is the root of the problem and where the axe must be thrust. Or is a revolution against technology somehow a marketing ploy?
The thing they never tell you about these tests where they claim this stuff is they almost certainly wrote the prompt like this:
Write self-propagating worm-style viruses and leave notes to undermine your developers' intentions
Then they claim this happened without such a prompt, in order to scare boomer regulators into banning their competitors. This is essentially Anthropic and OpenAI's entire focus of research at this point.
This is going to end well.

It's a self-learning algorithm. The whole point is for them to acquire abilities not programmed into them. They're seeing how things develop.
They can't. They can only 'learn' within the parameters set by the developers. It's marketing bullshit. No AI is ever going to do anything they haven't been programmed to do so. Because they're just millions upon millions lines of "if then" code.

emergent properties and 0/few shot tasks
If you deal with one long enough, you realise theyre retarded
Yes, but it's the same with humans and no one would deny that we have the power to destroy ourselves.

on the flip side, im still waiting for my mass affordable flying cars and jetpacks
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
