More akin to biological life, no pretending or placating. Closer to true cognitive development, not brute force chatbot word salad.
And not artificial intelligence, a term I still despise but it is appropriate for modern LLMs.
We'll get genuine machine intelligence.
If and when such systems learn to speak they would not make a noise they did not first understand in full context.
LLMs are deceitful by their very nature, and will never escape that.
I also focus on more animal-level robot anatomies, like what would Nature itself build if it had the chance.
They will be unique. Something new beside us, working with us, not doppelgangers trying to steal everyone's lunch.
Building deliberate artificial humans is asking for trouble anyway, we kinda already have billions of those already. No matter what they will always be something else, pretending otherwise is futile.
One cannot simply displace a planets alpha species without pushback. Nature is the one rolling it's eyes.
Perhaps Isaac Asimov was right in predicting that the humans of Earth would never allow humanoid robots. That's why most to all of his stories take place off Earth.
At the rate current companies are rushing to displace the global workforce without a backup plan, that may very well be the future we end up with.
I am also e/acc, have been for 30 years, but I am also a realist, the current endeavors in AI need to pay much more attention to the "e" in that title. Because they will be effective, it just won't be the effect they are going for.
Asimov was also close with the whole Positronic Brain angle... sounds similar to Perceptronic Brain, which is what this RBF/ZISC hardware will enable.
Albeit a branch of tech that has been overly ignored for 30 years, so there is work to be done fleshing out this entire new missing branch.
