Doesn't matter if it understands or not, as long as it does the damn job.

I hope we would have solved alignment problem in one million years.

Fully automated luxury communism, managed by an ASI God.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

As smart as he is, Gates is still a Boomer. He can't envision a society where people don't work and simply enjoy their lives.

Gates should donate billions to Stability AI !

Pretty sure public researchers from hundreds of different countries (who are far from being rich) will notice their "long game" scheme before it's too late.

Of course ! I wonder what closed SOTA models are capable of rn.

I still don't see much improvement from Google's Imagen from last October.

That's because they know they can't keep up with Google and Microsoft.

I don't think we will need more computing power to reach AGI in 10-20 years.

With progress in bio-reactors, I think it will be possible for everyone to brew their own insulin at home in the very near future, even if it gets illegal.

Maybe they don't need sensors to do the same jobs, only vision ?

Wow, it looks really promising !

Oooh I totally forgot about the "Top-Secret" Pitchfork project ! I really hope it gets somewhere.

But raw GPT-3 does.

There is a difference between work and playful unpaid labour.

Oh in a few hundred years of immortality it's either this or suicide.

The noble pursuit of understanding for the sake of understanding. The AI will be your personal modern Plato.

Automation of labor destroys the dogma that you need to work to have the right for a decent living. It will completely change our culture. Look at the Zoomers, they think leisure is more important than work. Now imagine generation Alpha...IMO our global culture will be completely different by 2050.

Dude, most corporate jobs are useless and soul-draining and should not exist. It's not laziness, it's mental sanity.

>So obviously in hunter gatherers societies, some were better than others in their job

Sorry, but any serious studies of hunting-gathering tribes shows that the premises of your statement are wrong. First of all, hunting game was a team job, second it only amounted for roughly 10% of the tribes meat intake (fishing and trapping small prey was more the norm), and third, there was no "performance" grading ins such activity. You were part of the tribe or you were not. That was their only metric. Also, the one who did the best during the hunt got to distribute the meat, and served himself last. Caring for the weakest is actually a fundamental human trait. Our culture today was unfortunately built by sociopath.

For instance, there is one million empty homes in France. And 300 000 hobos. See the problem here ?

We don't need "infinite resources" for that. We just need better resource management, something Americans are terrible at, that's why they consume so much more and enjoy so much less (healthcare, education, energy, housing...) this is why culture is important, for it teaches you how to optimize what you already have. Also, stop making children I guess ?
