Send us Fan MailIs AI eating its tail? training on its own output…fully dependent on data of questionable integrity it finds on the open net, or fed to it by sometimes manipulative users... will it get the technical equivalent of mad cow disease?Assuming, the current A.I. developments focused on LLM, are fully intended for interfacing with humans, won't machine-to-machine, and one-to-many language models become non-linear, non-linguistic, and parallel/multi-stream toward ultimately efficient intelligence? This certainly will facilitate multi-tasking, ghost task processing, viral integration, mesh network organic self-spreading, mass data acquisition and quantum speed analysis, and iterative looping at lightspeed, very quickly creating multi-dimensional intelligence. The A.I. machine will grow and integrate quickly reshaping reality overnight.Is our linear language ultimately limiting and wasteful? Will the machines find more efficient ways to communicate and share data...perhaps leaving us out of the conversation?Once connected to 3D robotics capable of maintaining and servicing each other and production 24/7, there will be no system or place isolated from it. Will humans then co-exist in a realm manufactured by the machines, much like pigeons co-exist with us in cities we built?As humans earned knowledge thru direct experience, and honed that knowledge thru trial and error, and passed that curated knowledge to successive generations, linearly, person-to-person, will the machines evolve beyond us with non-linear thought, parallel communications, and one-to-many knowledge exchange? Or will its propensity for hallucination and focus on maintaining cohesion versus proven truth be its undoing?If it does overcome its own foibles, and we don’t find a way to be a resource to the machine, will there ultimately be no incentive to maintain or nurture us?Support the showSheridan Forge would love to hear your thoughts on this subject. Write him at: [email protected]
