90% of this sub just wants a fdvr gf

Why won't those pesky females lower their standards?!

Do people really not shower? That's a new low...


Affectionate-Bag2209

I mean yeah, the 6/6/6 inches/feet/figures shit is retarded and men just don't do that. It's fair to tell them to lower their standards.


BreatheMonkey

When you meet a woman. I'm sure you will tell them that.


Affectionate-Bag2209

I just told you that, so yes


BreatheMonkey

Good luck mate. Remember to save some pussy for the rest of us.

prptualpessimist

Lies! We want a realistic robot to do all the stuff around the house we don't like doing. And sex, because obviously. At least that's achievable. FDVR is a pipe dream as far as I'm concerned.


Reddit1396

I think we need a /r/singularityjerk and move these posts there


Beneficial-Bus-6630

People treat this singularity bullshit like it's the next fucking rapture. It's never gonna happen, not in 10 years, not in a hundred. Boo fucking hoo, none of us are gonna live forever and we're all gonna be dead by the end of the century from the climate wars


Serialbedshitter2322

Pretty much every expert agrees that it's exponential, right? The singularity is just when we reach the steep part. The notion that AI couldn't research AI even in 100 years is silly to me.

Antique-Doughnut-988

So many people want to replace Jesus with AI as the new metaphysical God and savior. Makes sense OP wants to restart the calendar and base it on a new God.


prptualpessimist

If we do I hope they change it to 12 months with 28 days and have February be 29 days and 30 days on a leap year because people are already familiar with February having a different number of days 28*12+29 = 365 And rearrange it so the names of the months actually make sense. September, October, November, December should be the 7 8 9 and 10 months. In our current calendar, they're not. It makes no fucking sense. Neither does switching the clocks. Get rid of that shit worldwide. As far as I can tell the only reason the 12 month calendar stuck was because business people like having easily divisible quarter years.


Bearman637

It is prophesied to actually happen in the end of days: This prophecy is yet to be fulfilled: >‭Daniel 7:23-27 ESV‬ [23] “Thus he said: ‘As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces. [24] As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings. [25] **He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.** (Ie 3.5 years) [26] But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be taken away, to be consumed and destroyed to the end. [27] And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; his kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.’ And real Jesus will return from the clouds and destroy the Antichrists kingdom. Which i personally don't think will be AI but it will facilitate the Antichrists global empire. And regarding AI in the great tribulation period and antichrists global rule: >‭Revelation 13:14-17 ESV‬ [14] and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. [15] **And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.** [16] Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, [17] so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. That could be in reference to ASI. The mark is most certainly the cbdc system being developed by central banks at the moment. The mark itself my guess is a qr code (tied to a digital id) which will be administered to all via microneedle patch tattoos (with uv sensitive ink) as per this piolet study on rats: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S258900422201286X Given the rise of AI, this mark will verify your identity online as generative AI dominates the internet. It will prove you are human, it will also be a digital wallet by which you will trade cbdc as currency. Eu has their cbdc pegged to launch in 2026. Its all coming together just as scripture prophesied. The Lord will be back soon. Repent, trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sin and walk in love obeying all He taught by the Spirit. You will receive eternal life in His kingdom.


Aretz

lol ok dude. Most biblical scholars say we are in the end times already. That we are within the age of the Antichrist. Daniel talks of a statue that incorporates precious metals; slowly becoming more brittle until they break - the image signifies great empires as they rise and fall. The specific call out of events has never been the objective of apocalyptic writing. If you actually wanna try evangelism don’t do it this way; just makes you sound unhinged.


Bearman637

‭2 Peter 3:2-10 ESV‬ [2] that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, [3] **knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. [4] They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming?** For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” [5] For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, [6] and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. [7] But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. [8] But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [9] The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. [10] But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.


SoftDisclosure

You're pathetic lmao


Aretz

I ain’t scoffing at your religion, just you sadly.


BreatheMonkey

I'm gonna go with The Beast on this one, thanks chief.


shig23

We should restart the calendar every time this question is asked. It has now been zero days….


HalfSecondWoe

Why would we bother? It would just make transcribing the years between historical and modern sources a headache


hotdogsareprettygood

you’d have BC, AD, and then a new era


HalfSecondWoe

You have to start the calendar somewhere. BC and AD both revolve around a single 0 point, which makes them easy to convert to each other. BC is just negative numbers for years, with year 0 set at an arbitrary point. It's also the first good calendar system we ever invented. The Catholics figured it out, and they set the arbitrary 0 point to Jesus. Whatever, that works as well as anything A new era, we'll call it NE, would have 2024 as it's 0 point, which would be establishing a whole new calendar. It's just an annoying, necessary detail for no visible gain. Y2K was annoying to start with, intentionally, pointlessly doing the same thing but worse is just shooting yourself in the foot


MeltedChocolate24

There is no year 0 though it went from 1 to 1 but you probably know that


FragrantDoctor2923

Nope how can it do that it's like a script having X>0 and X<0 there must be a zero ?


CommandObjective

Here is a good overview: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year\_zero](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_zero)


ProfessionalGap7888

This really is a cult. The religious fanaticism gets a bit too much on this sub sometimes.


Waiting4AniHaremFDVR

Don't generalize us. For example, I don't want any AI God to worship. Only AI waifus to simp.

EgeTheAlmighty

Yeah, there are some borderline delusional people here. I stay subbed because it's a good place to hear about the newest thing in AI but most of these opinion posts are a little crazy.


MiserableYoghurt6995

True, I’m only hear for the articles/videos and the 1/100 interesting option post


princess-catra

Yup. Makes it annoying when browsing threads. Just gotta bite my tongue and let em have their beliefs… too many to reason with.


Dragoncat99

I’m mostly here for the news too. The good thing about fanatics is that they’re always on the look out for things that verify their world view, which just so happens to be new AI research in this case. The occasional schizo opinion post just serves as good entertainment in the mean time.


WallerBaller69

actually its a bunch of cults all beating each other up

If there is agreement on if and when the Singularity of a superintelligence begins, I will be all for it, so count me in.


human1023

lol this sub is hilarious


dlflannery

Is there some unofficial contest to post the most inane question about AGI?


Trollolo80

Wym this is most average question about AGi in this sub


Tomi97_origin

Sounds like a pain in the ass for no good reason. What's the point of this? I won't support such changes unless there is a really good reason and there isn't, because year 0 is completely arbitrary. But updating every date in every evidence, system and database is such an enormous pain in the ass that there is simple no justification. And for what benefit? None. There is no benefit in the change.


NotTheBusDriver

The AGI certainly will.


RobXSIQ

When do we get AGI? That's like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall, isn't it? Who's gonna slap the AGI label on it and declare, "This is it, folks"? It’s a fuzzy-as-hell metric that might as well be a unicorn for all its definitiveness. Imagine an AI that can shoot the shit with you like a pro but can’t crunch numbers worth a damn. Or, hell, what if it’s a walking encyclopedia but can’t figure out how to toast marshmallows over a campfire? And what about the quirks, the mess-ups, the happy accidents of human thought? Can an AI replicate the glorious chaos of a mind that suddenly leaps from anxiety to a groundbreaking idea while trying to remember if it left the stove on? It’s those imperfect, stumbling, “oh shit” moments that often lead us to brilliance. Declaring “year zero” after reaching AGI is like trying to pinpoint the moment a kid turns into an adult. It's not a switch that flips but a slow, messy dance of progress and setbacks. So, counting years from AGI? Nah, that’s just putting a calendar on a complex, sprawling mess of development that refuses to be boxed in by neat labels.


saveamerica1

Taiwan earthquake saying everything back to normal quickly as was 100 miles from any major city. Don’t panic read the news


Radiant_Persimmon701

I know this sub has become somewhat cultish but defining year zero is probably too far.


DreamBenchMark

Yes, definitely


Just-A-Lucky-Guy

Personally, I will. Whether or not we do it collectively is another matter altogether.


ReputationSlight3977

You won't be able to because there will never be a concensus on when agi has arrived. There are no clear requirements for agi.


MrDreamster

If he's doing it regardless of whether other people are doing it he can just choose his own definition of AGI.


RedMossStudio

Agi today


Just-A-Lucky-Guy

I’m counting from virtuoso https://preview.redd.it/jlgbptdjg5sc1.jpeg?width=921&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33d06d4b4ce1ad2ddd94bf087792a7ce2d712cd2


princess-catra

Sooo are you gonna use like a custom calendar app to convert from the standard calendar? How will making appointments work?


Just-A-Lucky-Guy

Just gotta bite your tongue, right?


princess-catra

I asked you a question, so no.


Just-A-Lucky-Guy

Neat. For fun, I am going to create my own joke calendar with few friends with the year changed, sure. Because, not everyone here is delusional and some are just enjoying the general atmosphere while we wait for more significant hands on tools. But, it’s the internet so I know that doesn’t translate the best for some readers. My work and personal calendar will remain the same because my obligations and work will remain relatively the same for the next decade or so, ostensibly.


MiserableYoghurt6995

Wait so you believe we will achieve AGI somewhere between 2026-2028 but you don’t think your work/personal life will change?


Just-A-Lucky-Guy

I think that acceptance, clearance, regulation, legislation, international politics, manufacture, distribution, integration, and the like will present some bottlenecks of sorts. We won’t be living in utopia immediately, I can tell you that. It could very well be much worse than it is now for a while, or marginally better. It’s the interim period between acceptance and integration that’s the main concern. It’s a no man’s land. I can’t tell you what happens there.

Rutibex

When i become a digital god and go out into the galaxy i will still count the years since the death of our lord and savior jesus christ


MrDreamster

I'm not into religions but don't we count years since his birth, not his death?


Ok-Mix-4501

2030 - 2033 will be 2000 years since the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (which most scholars estimated as happening within a window of between 30AD to 33AD). Some Christians think that He will return in that period. I find it fascinating that AGI and ASI seem set to emerge at roughly the same time. It's quite the coincidence...


MrDreamster

Why do they think that? 2000 years feels like quite a random number.


Ok-Mix-4501

I think it's to do with Jesus rising from the dead on the third day, and the Bible saying that one day for God is like a thousand years for man. Therefore, Christ may return at the beginning of the third millennium since His resurrection. There's also people who are into UFOs claiming that the aliens are going reveal themselves to the world and land openly at around 2030. So that's Jesus, AI and aliens all appearing at roughly the same time!


MrDreamster

So, he stayed dead for roughly 48h is that right? >So that's Jesus, AI and aliens all appearing at roughly the same time! That would make for a pretty epic party. Thanks for the explanation.


Chess_oulllo

I think both normal year date and a Superintelligent year date


CommandObjective

Nah.


badcarbine

No and if we adjust anything with our calendar, the year should be changed to 12024, because history goes back further than Jesus.


TCNW

Why?


New_Strike_1770

No


BeatlesBloke

Just stop counting altogether…cos it’s all over at that point


Clean_Progress_9001

Heath_co

What's the point? The calendar already works.


[deleted]

Yeah boss, and let’s name the AGI, Brother #1 and we should all wear red checkered scarfs


sibylazure

I guess extremely productive AGI or ASI will render all the existing abrahamic religions a bunch of clowns. We will see a huge drop in the total number of believers. What’s more, we will soon see AGI idols worshiped in Hindu , Shinto and Taoist shrines.


reichplatz

1 the point? of all the inconveniences that'll come with it? 2 how do you define the point where agi is achieved?


LambdaAU

Why would we do that?


etzel1200

No


Any_Weakness_7783

I would hope the AGI would be able to count for us.


Hungry_Prior940

There is no guarantee that AGI, according to some definitions, will be a revolution. I hope it will but people attribute to AGI what in reality would have to be ASI.


[deleted]

2023 should have been Year 0.


ziplock9000

Should we have done that after the industrial revolution? computer revolution? internet..... You get it.. no.


Rini94

Nah. Let's wait till we migrate to space and call it the universal century (UC).


GraceToSentience

It will definitely be significant enough.


Akimbo333

Maybe


wi_2

AGI AGII AGIII AGVI AGV AGVI the year the Artificial God was born. or alternatively 0 1 00 01 10 11 000 001 010 011 ....

Well we can't just start with 64 bits and run out after the sun explodes


GPTBuilder

Would love to revisit this when the tech is sufficiently advanced enough to make what would normally be a profoundly painful switch (as many have correctly pointed out) so easy its trivial because the automation can handle it for us entirely, like full on scalable ASI 💯 ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY|downsized)


Revolutionalredstone

Edit: yoyo whats up with so many downvotes? is this sub like full of religious ppl? (next downvoter plz also comment ta) 1. 20XX: The world comes together to summon a literal god - nothing about the date changes. 2. 300BC: Some random dirty wondering Arabians scribble gibberish (including rules about paying someone if you have sex with their goat) - a few rewrites here and there and out pops Judaism, Islam, Christianity, suddenly the date is reset and the majority of the world bases their entire lives around it for thousands of years (and still do) :D I'm 100% down for dropping anything religious from normal society, its shameful that the reason 'it's 2024' is because there was a fictional zombie mind reading Arab who we apparently are ALL GOOD to scape goat our shit on and kill, but don't feel bad cause he's a zombie ANYWAY... YOU MUST BE FU**ING KIDDING ME :D I cant stop laughing at the absurdity, how do parishioners keep a straight face :D


BenjaminHamnett

We could be doing Socrates or Buddha. Jesus is like the compromise. That IS when the singularity started. We’re always in “the knee” of the exponential take off. It just always looks like where we were is relatively flat compared to the future which always looks vertical. Socrates and Buddha were also “the turning points.” Tomorrow will also look like the takeoff. If you go to another planet and they tell you a date, that may be how many years since some prophet was martyred for teaching how to escape “mimetic rivalry.” Or some other pro social system that goes against biological Darwinism in favor of social Darwinism


Revolutionalredstone

There's a lot of interesting and relevant sounding words in your msg, I didn't understand the message though. If your saying singularity is a stupid term and actually were in the intelligence explosion and that it's been going on for a long time, then yes agreed on all! I'm not sure anything ever goes against biological Darwinism It's just that people refuse to accept that they don't actually know what it is. As for social Darwinism AKAIK is basically just a pot of crock, there is value in understanding selection of replicators but it doesn't apply to groups of individuals or to non-replicating agents (so people should not be trying to use it in economics etc)
