Reply to comment by SkyeandJett in Anyone pessimistic about AI actually being incorporated? by imcompletlynormal

It will happen eventually, but a lot of people on this sub seriously underestimate how slow progress is for the government, big corporations etc

There are even companies/governments that still use paper instead of doing anything digital.

I think people underestimate the absolute scale at play here. A publicly accessible AGI would enable sole actors to upend huge sections of the economy. Companies will have to adapt quickly or die.

Exactly. The AI field seems to be the last of the old Silicon Valley mindset of full-steam head on innovation, consequences be damned. Companies like Google (who have calcified) are too slow to react to these changes, whereas OpenAI, Microsoft, and countless startups have read the writing on the wall.

Adapt and progress, or die.

It's another reason I think people underestimate the scale and speed with which white collar work will be more or less eliminated. You either adopt AI and layoff as quickly as reasonably possible or you get crushed by your competitor that does. Employees, especially white collar employees, are a massive expense.

Even if they adapt they will still die. I think that's what people fail to realize.

Why would it happen? All competition wont be doing it so they'd be doing a suicide pact by agreeing to not.

Yes, all of them will die. But that's what's going to probably happen.

The companies that adopt AI are going to die anyway if they are not open AI. That's my view. So it doesn't really matter if they adopt it or not.
