    LeCun also said back in 2022 that "if you train a machine, as powerful as it could be, your 'GPT-5000', on text", it will never be able to learn basic common-sense physics like that objects placed on tables will move along with them.

        People like him have actual imagination and can name few scenarios where sudo kill -9 pid wouldn't work. It appears lack of imagination is something you and LLMs both share.

            I'm sorry but in this comment you did not make a single argument for your position.

            > What you and he does share is simple ability to think things through to the extent of understanding how ridiculous the AI will kill us scenario will be.

            Why is it ridiculous?

            > If you just thought for a moment what would have to happen for AI to somehow kill us and keep itself alive, the so called AI would realise it cant exist without us.

            Why would it realise that, why wouldn't it exist without us and why would it care?

            > But AI isnt even smart, its just a knowledgebase with great autocorrect powers.

            Ah yes, the stochastic parrot, gotcha.

              Who do you work for Azan? You seem to be very insistent that AI will kill us?

              But let me entertain your ignorance and low IQ for a bit.

              Do you think AI is capable of building ASML machines which produce the chips for AI in clean rooms while shipping the pure helium required to operate those clean rooms? Do you even know anything about these supply chains? I do.

              Do you think a glorified knowledge base that can predict text very well is anywhere near close this level of intelligence? ITs not and wont be, not for a 100 years, not for 200 years if not ever.

              So tell me, who do you work for? Why are you so invested in AI killing us theory? What do you get out of it?
