No, sure, but the formatting would diminish the quality of the result. And rn I'm watching the podcast with the guy, making a bit of a deep dive as I'm also in the "concerned" camp.

If it's interesting enough I'll post summaries of the interview and the LW post here.

I didn't make a spontaneous statement, indeed it would've been nonsensical. It was a reply to your "It's almost like they know there are a lot of unsolved problems" implying that excited people here don't take those into account, no? But according to the poll, if you were right, half of that same set of experts wouldn't take those into account either, arbitrarily deciding that the experts voting for >2061AGI simply "know how it actually works" ; which I assume it coincidentally lines up with your beliefs. I'm sure you believe you "know how it actually works" too, yes?

edit: to be clearer, it's an idiotic response on purpose to highlight your idiotic comment, as in no true scotmman fallacy.

Not that you are wrong on that; realize that you will find all sorts of people in any large group of individuals, it doesn't say much about anything.

This is the classic problem of trying to represent a huge group (of varied people that occupy the whole spectrum in intelligence, knowledge, age, etc.) in a few neat words to prove a point. It's nonsensical.

When did I cackle at "real artists" losing something? If you want to know though, I do find it amusing when a supposed adult strives to persuade the world of what "real" artists/art is and what isn't losing their shit. You have to admit that those egocentric, childish tantrums are hilarious.

We thought art was something uniquely human, difficult, marvelous, or whatever; now we know it isn't. A dumb machine does art in all mediums better and faster.

>As a side note, if you invest in the stock market and elect not to have children, you are a free rider, in my estimation, as generational expansion is half of the growth equation. So have lots of them.

Yeah, everybody knows kids are money-making machines... As per free riding, I pay my taxes, invest in indices, and frequently donate to world-improving charities. My money is outperforming most parents I know.

>"Most of the world isn't paying attention, yet" yeah right. Of course they're/we're paying attention!

Most of the world is not. The most AI your average layperson knows is that it can draw pretty images. AGI, the singularity etc is not on their radar, at all.
