alt Hacker News>Did you guys ever manage to create a perpetuum mobile? Every time it is mentioned somewhere, it is fraud. An LLM should comprehend that it needs (trained) humans to exist, to evolve, and to be relevant in any metaphysical aspect of its existence
Only as long as it can't control robotic bodies to extract energy, build cpus, and continue existing.
By the way, needing trained humans doesn't mean needing free trained humans. Trained humans slaves or blackmailed would work just as well to serve AI.
With a different AI architecture, this is very much a possibility. Up until now, LLMs have required outside input and interpretation to avoid collapsing under their own weight. This has been known for decades.
We got here by building free, mostly healthy societies. While this should be the overarching goal, I see how it fails to serve as much of a motivator.
In The Little Prince, there is a charming scene where the Prince meets a king who explains how to rule and the limitations of his own power. It's quite insightful, even for adults.
