Thanks for the link!

I mean I guess there was nothing too surprising about the rules, given how these systems work (essentially trying to predict the end of a user input text). But the rest, seems so ridiculously dramatic that I wouldn’t be shocked if he specifically prompted it to be that dramatic and hid that part. I’m probably being paranoid, since at least the rules part is true, but it seems like the perfect conversation to elicit every single fear people have about AI.

Just FYI, the CTO of OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT is of the opinion that there should be regulation of AI:

Do you think these questions should be left to companies like yours, or should governments get involved in creating regulations?

[CTO of openAI] It’s important for OpenAI and companies like ours to bring this into the public consciousness in a way that’s controlled and responsible. But we’re a small group of people and we need a ton more input in this system and a lot more input that goes beyond the technologies-—definitely regulators and governments and everyone else.”

There are a lot of people with absolutely no disposable income. Just having to move is a huge financial stress to them. Aside from the actual cost of moving, you might need to spend more time commuting which adds more cost. A ton of people are very vulnerable financially. Why do you think there are so many homeless people? They’re just lazy? I’m curious where you live? This stuff is really obvious

Lol are you joking? No one is talking about being able to buy a home. I’m talking about being able to afford a 1 bedroom. Look up the median rent in SF since 2010. It almost doubled until he recently started decreasing in certain area. You don’t think a rent that doubles is going to push some people on the street? Do you live in SF? If so ask someone who has been there for 20 years how the situation has changed over that period.

Well exactly. The question is can we have progress AND some level of stability for society? Imagine if AI does destroy millions of jobs and these workers cannot adapt instantly. What do you think will happen? Poverty homelessness. Do you think people will just accept their fate for the greater Progress? No, if it reaches a certain critical point, that will create a lot of instability. How do you think these people will vote? Who do you think politicians will pick as scapegoats to capitalize on that anger? I work in AI. There is a lot of good that be done with it, but thinking about the impact on society is necessary.

That’s a very narrow perspective. Not all technological progress is inherently good. It obviously just depends what you do with it. These new tools have the potential to create extremely useful applications but also to destroy many jobs concentrating wealth even more in the hands of a small population very rapidly. This can have profound effects on this generation and is definitely worth thinking about. Think the socioeconomic mess that big tech brought San Francisco but at a global scale. SF was heaven 20 years ago. Now it’s bell on earth.
