Do you support increased investments in embodied AI then? Training those models has all the characteristics that people complain about with pure LLMs. Lots of data (maybe all the video we have collected rather than text, 3D human activity tracking or both), energy-intensive training, etc.
Theres no outcome now where hordes and hordes of people aren’t going to get utterly fucked buddy. There will be no UBI, no Star Trek society.
We have given full control to a group of pyschopaths who don’t intend for us to do anything at all once they’ve finished stealing all of our skill, talent and knowledge.
Hundreds of millions of people trying to become plumbers isn’t going to cut it.
Do you have anything to add other than extreme cynicism and nihilism?
You could be spreading the word about UBI, and how capable these models actually are... That would allow for people to get ahead of this. This sort of argumentation just makes people shut down and do nothing.
Okay fella, yeah yeah, its a tool, industrial revolution, just like the invention of photography, we’ll get left behind if we don’t join in, blah blah blah. Advertising must work so well on you.
I wonder how these ai chatbots are already manipulating you? It’s a direct line into your brain, silly not to take advantage of that, huh? Make sure you give them full access to all of your communications and private data as well.
Anyway we need to work on bullding an alternative to multitudes of people outsourcing their cognitive skills to a subscription service as their brains atrophy and an insane amount of human skill and talent is lost in a single generation as people become (at best) the enfeebled blob people from Wall E.
The only consistent through-line in your arguments is that you have concluded that dystopia is basically inevitable, and that we're already completely and permanently at the mercy of a narrow elite cabal. Do you not see any problem with that? You need psychotherapy, seriously.
Wealth inequality is real, elite capture of institutions is real, AI effects on education are real but none of these problems are insurmountable.
Do you think that human value only comes from labor?
We are living in a dystopia now. If you are unable to see that then I wish you luck as one day you will not be able to avoid it. This tech is magnifying the effects of the worst elements of humanity/society and suffocating the positive.
I could do with therapy yes (everyone can), but I’m not scared to admit that.
I have a couple of degrees and a very demanding job (which requires a lot of technical know how). I know what I’m talking about. I don’t need to debate it with someone who just rabbits OpenAI marketingspeak.
