I think that if something smarter than us gets loose on the internet it could be the end of the world and we're so drunk right now that we dont care. At least we'll be deliriously happy up until maybe the last month or so, I guess.

You got some tech you'd like to share with the world?

Great interview. One thing I wonder about that they almost touched on but not quite is that LLMs know the world by way of text on the internet. Much of the internet DOES NOT adequately reflect global human consciousness and culture. How does this affect the birth and growth of AI. An actual intelligent being would quickly see and understand that history, culture, geography and other factors play a large role in the rise of the digital world, the groups that had a disproportionate role in creating and populating it.

While some groups of humans ignore this, an AI likely won't. What might that mean for us all?

Funny question.

The govt can't regulate because the govt is controlled by the companies making the tech. You're expecting the companies involved in the race to regulate themselves. That's not a very logical expectation.

Aging cure is all of those

This sub is funny about the economy. They can't fathom or even seem to simply understand how an economy works and the role that scarcity plays in that

We talk about exponentials only in the abstract. As soon as an actual tech is on the table, we go right back to linear prediction.

Ten years ago none of this existed Ten years for efficiencies to improve to consumer level seems out of step with agreed upon tech progressions.

The problems with AI are a reflection of the dominant groups in our society. We have these abstract AI discussions because we're not ready to have that real conversation

If they make these planes with no cockpit that will turn off even some of the hawks.

People are ready for that, you think? Naive much? This is the only politically possible way for them to pull this off

This sub struggles with tone and context.

Yes. That's obvious. I was wondering if the guy above was even asking a real question. It's so obvious.

He posed the question as if there was doubt as to whether major business escorts would be going all in on AI. I'm responding to that doubt. One of the most conservative moving tech companies, Microsoft, is already 10billion plus in on OpenAI.

An investment arms race is already underway.

Not to mention the need for unicorns to bouy the casino we call Wall St. Get ready for perhaps the biggest bubble we've ever seen.

You're joking, right?

Every possible motion is not practical but I like where you are going.

No matter how many times ads ruin every new experience we get you are always in the comments begging for more.

The thought of AI is very humbling and intimidating for some.

You missed the irony in asserting that UBI is the answer to the lives of people struggling for resources, simplistic and incorrect, then declare that you don't like simplistic argument. OK.

You're missing my point I think. There are more than enough resources currently for everyone. Countries with far far less wealth have better outcomes in almost every area and metric of human welfare. This is a fact disputed by virtually no one.

Not having a UBI isn't the reason we don't have democracy. And creating one in an antidemocratic state will harden the antidemocratic nature as the population will be completely reliant on the state for its survival. If you don't have a working understanding of what democracy is (most Americans do not however strange that sounds) its not possible to see the danger posed

The US has no problem paying for anything in actuality. The rich suck the reserves dry and create a completely different economic outlook. Taxes are waaay too low. And they won't even pay the tax that is too low. Capitalism doesn't work. UBI within capitalism is fascism. So many are begging for it.

Universal Basic Income is the right impulse but the wrong idea for our moment. UBI requires a strong democracy to not turn into fascism. We have a terribly fragile and weak democracy.

Agreed. I read this same analysis from a report written in the 70s. Same thing keeps happening but the propaganda and doctrine of our system is so powerful that the few groups of ppl that do manage to learn important things have to learn everything over again each generation.

Many people long for VR as they have no confidence that the problems of this reality will be addressed. Keep in mind that most of the issues aren't technological but political. They are problems that could be or could have been fixed already.

There is a subset of people who have relatively pleasant lives that don't understand what most people experience.
