    @ryan @Nickiquote Have said it a while now, AGI is the new Fusion, forever 'just around the corner', until it isn't of course, but still, neither feel like my lifetime will see them (Late 50s for me)

    @bobthomson70 @ryan @Nickiquote at least fusion promises a better future, even in late stage capitalism.

    Fusion: cheap, unlimited energy
    AGI: everyone is part of the permanent underclass, three guys own everything.

      @Nickiquote Weirdly, the editor rejected the factually correct headline, which was "scientists will possibly use a computer to make a discovery".

            @Nickiquote Let me guess. That's a quote by someone desperately trying to make his AI company get any kind of income?

                @Nickiquote I was thinking a FORTRAN programme as a friend was a "et al" author on several physics papers as he wrote the code to analyse the data.

                      @Nickiquote Honestly, this is a brilliant prediction. As in, sounds impressive but effectively impossible to prove. Prizes tend to lag discoveries by decades - even if this nonsense proved true, it could well be 2050 before we'd know it.

                        @Nickiquote

                        Strictly speaking, companies are not able to claim copyrights for work, which is not completely based on the human mind.
                        Based as in, they can't let an AI create a prototype and then start from there. This would make any product derived from it unprotected by copyrights for these parts.

                        Nobel prices might follow a similar logic.

                                @Nickiquote I wonder how that'd fit with the "it's just a tool, you use tools to be better at your craft" crowd of AI pushers 😄

                                  @janeishly @Nickiquote it's kind of like they think of the stock market as a chatbot they prompt in order to 'make line go up', and sadly, so far it is working for the pricks.

                                    But eh, I can see it's probably a little wordy for these times.
