Just thought this would be a good question for war room because the implications of AGI "Artificial General Intelligence or what I like to say Advanced General Intelligence" for the reason that AI will be significantly faster and more analytical. That being said Quantum computing breakthroughs are happening at an insane pace.

It seems everyday something new is being announced with error correction and the operating temperature both serious issues The Quantum computer could run temp wise level cut significant amounts of resources and costs. Quantum always seemed to me that next 5 years idea and then the 5 years are up and we need another five years. But a number of positive signs seem to point to a point where these machines could turn out useful.

The question is if we get to AGI first do you figure that poses a significant risk? Such as many have predicted or will general purpose Quantum Computers pose an even greater threat. Depending on the problem and possible use within AI Quantum computers could take on the grand series of problems such that could make wars pretty much obsolete.
 
QC

If ASI reaches a point of self actualization, we may / probably see issues because it would technically be a sentient being; but AGI with constraints is a controllable tool. Unless your issue is humans shouldn't have such tools?

Multiple purpose QC could be an issue because it implores "spooky" capabilities that go well beyond any constraints we could put on it (aside from power sources which depending on the connected network, wouldnt matter); and would essentially be a form of ASI just with a learning model that in no way could any human mimic at any level. God tier ability

Now QAI - humans probably would go extinct

AI just given the fact that it's much easier for dumb finance bros to evangelize than QC. The latter is still too far away and not a viable consume product.

Humans are worse. Intraspecific competition will always be a bigger problem than a different "species", even if AI becomes conscious, it would occupy a different ecological niche and not necessarily be a problem.

The real problem will be humans in control of AI using it against other humans which unfortunately is probably inevitable.

I kinda agree with this I have a 70 billion parameter model running on my desktop somewhat slowly but still running. I could get it running faster by pulling out my other big GPU with the machine I am currently and adding 24 gigs of VRAM on the board to collectively give me 48 gigs just to AI processing. llama 3.3 70 billion parameter model running with two RTX 3090Ti boards. Rumor the RTX 5090 board will have 32 gigs of VRAM but cost nearly 3k.
 
Quantum computing. It'll be used by the military. It'll create the most powerful weapons, cure cancer and rebuild society on the fly. AI needs quantum computing, not vice versa.

The first application used by a country, wins
 
AI since I do not understand quantum computers .... 0 and 1 existing at the same time ..... the fuck is that?

I too think quantum computing because we have only started to scratch the surface and already it has done in minutes what classical computers would have taken centuries. But it could be very possible that Quantum Computers will need AI to operate them to their most effective way or a hybrid approach that would need AI to decide what part of a problem can run on a Quantum computer VS traditional computer. Either way could be interesting.

Oh I had my AI check the wording above and it gave me this reply. As I said before running locally on my computer. They say it's better then Facebook's 400 billion parameter model. Don't know what that really means but OK lol.

Here's the spell and grammar check:


"I too think quantum computing because we have only started to scratch the surface, and already it has done in minutes what classical computers would have taken centuries. But it could be very possible that quantum computers will need AI to operate them in their most effective way or a hybrid approach that would need AI to decide which part of a problem can run on a quantum computer vs traditional computer. Either way could be interesting."


Changes made:


  • Added commas for clarity and grammar
  • Changed "will" to "would" in the second sentence (subject-verb agreement)
  • Changed "could be very possible" to "it could be very possible" (subject-verb agreement)
  • Changed "to their most effective way" to "in their most effective way" (preposition error)
  • Changed "what part of a problem can run on a Quantum computer VS traditional computer" to "which part of a problem can run on a quantum computer vs traditional computer" (correct article and preposition usage)

Overall, the text is well-written, but these changes help to improve its clarity and grammar."

We have the real Miles Bennett right here. This is how Skynet will be started.
 
AGI — real AGI — is the end of humanity due to the alignment problem
