CRAZYTANK News vol.214／Predictions of a Singularity future are in the phase of becoming reality - What will it do for human value? -

CRAZYTANK News started in July 2020 and has been a weekly newsletter of about 2,000 to 3,000 words, providing information on "CRAZYTANK's current situation“. We are very grateful for the feedback we have received from our subscribers. However, due to feedback from subscribers, we have decided to make it available in NOTE for a fee starting in late October 2021. In addition, we have decided to start offering the service free of charge on a trial basis from October 2023.

This is the place where each week we will tell you about what we are doing and what we are thinking. CRAZYTANK always values to be a "party that continues to take on challenges" as we look toward the future. We hope that we can be a catalyst and a driving force for you to take on the challenges of our changing society. Please drop by whenever you feel like it.

CRAZYTANK News vol.214

We are worried about the impact of Typhoon No. 10, which is said to be moving through the Japanese archipelago, but it is the last week of August, and as we head into September, children and adults alike are probably feeling busy, so please be safe.

Now, in this week's communication, we would like to rethink the future of human life based on the evolution of AI robots, which seems to have “changed phases,” while introducing a YouTube video that was recently shared within CRAZYTANK.

Please read on.

Predictions of a Singularity future are in the phase of becoming reality - What will it do for human value? -

At CRAZYTANK, our CEO, Mr. Takehana, has been predicting the future “AI will one day surpass humans and humans will have nothing to do” since more than 18 years ago when he started researching technology and artificial intelligence.

He also predicted that we would one day reach Singularity, and this prediction has always been at the core of the company's management policy, even after CRAZYTANK was established.

Mr. Takehana says that over the past 18 years, he has often faced the wrath of those to whom he has shared such stories, but in this latest video, you can see that he has entered a phase in which he must believe that he has reached a “very phase-changing stage”.

We think there have been many people who have been talking about AI since the advent of chatGPT in 2022, which is indeed amazing and has a lot of potential.

Some may feel that their jobs have already been taken away, but many still had the feeling that AI cannot surpass humans in some areas.

However, it was this very video that made me realize that this [phase] has entered the next phase.

The AI robots in this video are not robots created by so-called robotics technology and AI technology recognized at this stage, but by evolving about 4,100 AI robots in a virtual space (virtual) for 20,000 generations like humans (this in just 5 hours...) and creating technology to transfer their “brain” part from virtual space to real space. ), and then created a technology to transfer the “brain” part of the robot from the virtual space to the real space. This transfer from virtual space to reality is a technology that has never been developed before.

Through this, the AI robot in this video has already learned how to move in a manner similar to human reflexes, etc.

Until now, robots have been driven by a system of human instructions, which required them to recognize space and obstacles with light sensors and other devices, and to memorize patterns of behavior.

However, the AI robot here has evolved to the point where it can move around on its own and respond to obstacles, such as stairs, without difficulty even if there are no sensors to detect them, and even if it falls down, it can catch itself and recover. They have evolved to the point where they can move as flexibly and flexibly as human beings.

This evolution will create a completely different world from the one in which robots are used under human control, which is now in practical use everywhere.

In the past two weeks, we have shared within the company that we have entered a stage where we are getting much closer to the world of Singularity predicted by Takehana.

What we would like to tell the readers of this communication, not to scare them, but to tell them straight,

There is no doubt that for humans, the state of “living” will change drastically.”

that is.

And the danger is that the situation could quickly permeate society without being controlled by any one human being.

CRAZYTANK is preparing for that future. But, of course, it is not enough yet.

However, we are proceeding with the belief that what we are preparing and the direction we are taking are not wrong.

The following measures are just a part of what we are doing.

・Creating work that preserves human value (Creating for companies (consulting services))
・Preserving the human handprint (the value of human creation that cannot be created by AI)
・Creating trustworthy colleagues even if it is irrational.
・Do not leave important information on digital media (store it on paper or in people's minds)

etc…

We have introduced in this newsletter several methods that Takehana has arrived at over the past 18 years while continuing various projects and research. And we are now working on these together with our business partners and people who trust us.

We do not know if we will be able to make it in time, but we still believe that we need to start now and make sure that we hurry up and get going.

No matter what industry, what type of business, or what region we are in, we believe that we humans cannot compete before the explosive evolution of AI robots. However, we believe that there is only hope as we move forward with what we can do even now.

If you are a company representative who has similar concerns but is wondering what exactly to do, why not start by having a discussion with CRAZYTANK?

We believe that the important thing is to have the feeling that we can do something together, while increasing the number of our friends, and to take concrete actions.
