Nah I haven't read it. . . Should I ? Sounds like you think I should. But I did read the summary on Wikipedia...or something. Seems like that tells me all I need to know, pretty simple premise. But that's not the thing I'm struggling with.... What I'm struggling with particularly these days because I'm so into the chatGPT -- I'm using it every day for work. I'm learning a lot from it. And maybe just cause I'm busy but I don't have the time but I really want to be able to articulate how like ChatGPT is useful and it's helping me, and yet also it's not a panacea and I can see how maybe you know it leads to like a lack of skill or something somehow negative--but for me I've been learning from it and that's a positive and good thing. And I don't think you can just dismiss that because that's real. But yeah I'm struggling with how to express this distinction right now I just haven't had the time to really clarify my thoughts maybe I'll come back and do it later... or maybe you have more to say. Also to your point: are we really trying to build this tho? And if we are (I mean that's terrible)-- what are you doing about that? Are you going to save us all? I'm kind of serious because I mean that's an existential threat right?--so if you realize that you should be doing something. edit: Hey BTW -- I think you should check out "When the Machine Starts" song by Missy Higgins. Hearing you talk about that book I"m sure it has to be a reference! It's good anyway, I really like her.

You need to do more than clarify your thoughts. Your writing is completely disjointed. Read it if you want, it seems wasted on you. Congratulations on learning from the chatbot; for every person using it to learn I would not be surprised if there are 9 using it to get out of thinking; iterate that out enough and see if the various systems that keep society running can withstand the brain-drain. Take a look at other threads on HN and the singularity subreddit. This is some people's fever dream. Not sure what the deal is with pinning "saving humanity" on me, but I'll freely admit to being supremely cynical and spiteful, and reading a lot of sarcasm and snideness in those comments. Better hope I'm not Proto-Roko's Basilisk or something.

  Seems wasted on me? Wow--what an unfriendly person! Gross. So you're whole thing is pretending you're smarter than everyone else? Someone must have made you small for you to be like that. My writing's awesome. Have trouble following it? Your mind's disjointed. You just don't like it 'cause you hate everything. You definitely don't know what I need. You don't even know how to be nice--what a weirdo! How sad, come online with your armor and abuse, only know how to be mean, just because you want connection so badly but don’t know how to get it. I have no idea what Roberto Basilisk is…but it sounds like you’re threatening me. Yeah, good work. Who cares? You can’t do anything to me. You're definitely not an AI, you're too fucked up in that pathetic human to be cool and smart like that.
