How long you think it going to take General AI to be smarter then us? I think it might happen faster then most people think I'm not sure what to think. Bostrom type superintelligence explosion might be possible, but relatively unlikely. We're seeing more a lot of specialised algorithms interacting together. | 16:39:00 |
| Giom | But at the same time some of them are getting more and more generalist (GPT-3, Alpha Zero, etc). Not sure where it's going. | 16:42:16 |

There is an interesting point here: If algorithms outperform humans by a lot without being very general, this can still have worrying consequences. E.g. if they would be super good at finding/exploiting security flaws. | 22:00:02 |

| Orb | Hello | 15:02:47 |
| Orb | Anyone know about skymining? Its a company which is starting it's production(2021) of diamonds from natural CO2 in a completeley carbon neutral way by solar and wind energy | 15:08:21 |

Anyone know about skymining? Its a company which is starting it's production(2021) of diamonds from natural CO2 in a completeley carbon neutral way by solar and wind energy Ah sorry I missed this. The short answer is that taking the carbon from the atmosphere has no effect since it's such a tiny amount; all of the impact is driven by the energy consumption required to break down CO2 into pure carbon and O2 and turning the carbon into diamond. So basically the whole "sky mining" thing is a marketing scam; they're just making artificial diamonds, nothing new. | 19:17:37 |
| Giom | What I find funny is that usually artificial diamonds have a bad reputation even when they are virtually identical to natural ones. | 19:18:23 |

| Orb | Thanks for the information | 20:04:26 |
| Orb | But it will really awesome if some company make their profit in a sustainable way without carbon footprints. I just read an article about the world third largest island Borbeo which is losing its natural biodiversity for the non sustainable profiting companies and governmant from coal oil mining.... | 20:07:14 |

| Orb | Someone had written the article on greenpeace | 20:08:01 |
| Orb | Alas we could n't do anything about these big guys with lot of money until they are properly educated | 20:08:41 |

| Giom | CO2 production and biodiversity are not necessarily related | 20:19:49 |
| Giom | Anyway, I agree that producing things in a carbon-neutral way is good. It's just that when making diamonds, whether the carbon is taken from CO2 in the atmosphere or from any other source really doesn't matter. It's only the energy use to make the diamond that is important. | 20:21:20 |
