AI has already started to take on certain jobs, particularly those involving repetitive tasks, data analysis, and customer service. However, it's important to note that AI is also creating new job opportunities in tech development, AI maintenance, and other emerging fields. The impact of AI on jobs will continue to grow over the next decade, transforming various industries.

If you're looking to navigate the evolving job market, consider using job search to find opportunities that match your skills and preferences.

Nobody, including me, is trying to stop technological progress. The point is that common people will not be benefiting from advances as much as they should be, as long as we live in this unregulated capitalist society where the capitalist class reaps all the rewards.

If working people had been rewarded for the massive increases in productivity over the last 50 years, we'd all be on a 3 day week by now, or would at least have pay that kept up with inflation. But that didn't happen, did it?

This is one place I think AI could get super weird super fast.

We know the capacity for consumer entertainment to advance technology; the whole reason we have the current crop of GPT is because video cards advanced so hard, and the whole reason we have those is mostly gaming.

Sure, GPUs may have emerged without consumer 3D gaming, but nowhere near at our scale. We collectively fund what we love.

Dynamic NPCs are going to be a thing. It'll be primitive at first and will escalate. If the right game hits the right audience and takes off, this may cause a bigger leap towards AGI than any other business or government venture.

With that of course is the question; what hellworld are we trapping these potentially sentient NPCs in?

You should watch the Ilya interview. He's confident there's still plenty of room for growth with just text but the real advancements will be multi-modal training data. I'd also take a look at Cerebras hardware. There's plenty of room for advancement with training hardware as well. We've got a LOT of runway ahead before hitting any real blocks and by then I'm 100% sure we'll have already hit self-improving AGI.
