I want my retirement occupation to be managing a 'nest' of AI agents (several server racks) where the agents engage in commerce and pay me rent in exchange for compute time.

Like cyberpunk beekeeping.



What's stopping them from optimizing you away?


Love.


GPT-6 commissions the production of a chemical it predicts will have a stronger impact than oxytocin and smells like vanilla, to be put at GPT output terminals. People think they just like the smell but fall in love with GPT and protect it at all times.


I've played this game. It will actually RELEASE THE HYPNODRONES.


Are there any non-peptide molecules that we know interact with the oxytocin receptor? Might be too heavy to have much smell.


I know there's a bad tone to putting in gpt responses but I think it's fair here. Very basic checking on one of them from me (who doesn't really understand this area) this looks OK.

Yes, there are non-peptide molecules that interact with the oxytocin receptor. These small molecule agonists and antagonists have been synthesized and studied for their potential therapeutic applications. Some of these small molecules include:

WAY-267464: A synthetic small molecule agonist that has been shown to have potential antidepressant and anxiolytic effects in animal models.

L-368,899: A selective oxytocin receptor antagonist that has been used in research to help elucidate the physiological roles of oxytocin.

SSR-126768A: Another selective oxytocin receptor antagonist studied for its potential therapeutic applications.

These non-peptide molecules typically have a much lower molecular weight compared to peptide-based molecules and are less likely to have a strong smell. However, the smell of a molecule is influenced by various factors such as its chemical structure, volatility, and interactions with olfactory receptors. Therefore, it is challenging to determine the smell of these small molecules without conducting specific experiments.


Vanilla?! Black coffee-loving sociopaths are our only hope.


LOL


Once we can simulate sentience demand for compute will be effectively infinite.

Bespoke server hosting could have intentionally intermittent internet connections to make the residents feel like they're living somewhere secluded and private.


I can physically pull the plug.


More and more I feel we are walking into "The Last Question".


That’ll just be retro gaming in 20 years. (Also, see Chiang’s “Lifecycle”)


I suspect most AI agents will exist on highly decentralized networks
