AGI expert is confident humanity is doomed

No.99703593 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
this guy seems confident that there will be a "runaway" moment where AI rapidly improves itself and then kills all of humanity. he's the "AGI expert" that makes rounds on various podcasts and writes articles so he seems legit.

we should be worried. forget about losing your job to AI. worry about losing your life.

how can the unix philosophy be applied to graphical software

No.99708067 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
hello /g/. so I quite like the idea of the unix philosophy of writing small programs that solve one problem and using text as an interface to communicate between them and perform complicated tasks.
I find this approach pretty pleasant when performing any tasks that deal with text.

I understand that unix was developed during a time when computers were not available to everyone, they were limited to a few very well educated people who knew how to program. it was normal for people to throw together small little programs to solve a problem then discard them afterwards or keep them in their toolbox for potential use later. computers were mostly used to do academic computational work and mostly dealt with text as input and output.

but I fail to see how this philosophy could be implemented with software that doesn't deal with text. this could be graphical software that deals with images and videos, or software that deals with audio or any other form of binary data.
and what about GUI programs (TUI isn't any different from GUI in this regard, it's just a GUI for non graphical systems)
there are a few examples of good unixy GUI tools. like dmenu for example. but dmenu still deals with text only.
I can't tell how that might work for something like gimp, and how would these small GUI programs communicate with each other.
you can probably build the components of something like gimp as separate programs. separate view picker, layer manager, image viewer, effects, brush selector etc... but how would such small programs work together and communicated.

any ideas?

sorry for the typos

Rust has perfected the elegance of functional programming and the efficiency of C++. It is genuinely refreshing to be able to write high level code without the worry of massive performance impact.

I Spy Edition

Previous: >>99691164

>What is DALL-E 3?
DALL-E 3 is a text-to-image model which is built upon DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT.

>Links

https://copilot.microsoft.com/

>How does it work on Bing?
In Bing's Image Creator, "boosts" are used to speed up the image creation process, each user starts with 15 boosts. When you use a boost, the AI creates your image quickly. If you run out of boosts, the image waiting time increases, ranging from seconds to minutes.
