Reply to comment by 12342ekd in Is it just me or does it feel like GPT-4 will basically be game over for the existing world order? by Practical-Mix-4332
I've been feeling weirdly giddy lately. It didn't hit me right away. I messed around with ChatGPT for a few days and thought of it (for a time) as a kind of enhanced Google. But once I began to get a feel for what it was doing and the magnitude of what it was capable of -- that's when the giddiness set in. There is a kind of liberation that comes with a total loss of control. The giddiness set in with the gradual realization that nothing I do from here on out really matters all that much. Be a good person, try to get back in touch with some old friends, try to better myself wherever I can. But otherwise ...
The big-picture stuff is in AI's hands now, for better or for ill.

You are absolutely right - and quite early in that realization. Reminds me of this quote by Winston Churchill:
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
