Except, crypto honestly seemed like it had utility but really didn't... I've had this thing just create pretty decent youtube shorts with zero knowledge or very little advice on how to do it, and also tweets, instagram posts, etc... it's now working on creating direct to etsy store items from midjourney using 'tiled layouts', digital downloads for paper/etc...
The people in charge of both of these projects are using it to also actually continually improve itself. The one dude isn't a developer and doesn't know how to code, he's a VC. That's insane by itself. I've been through hype trains, but this is more foundational/bigger than anything we've experienced.
Even without AGI we could create a single software that can deliver any layout a user wants, any outputs, from any inputs... it's an accounting software, ERP, CRM, Paintshop, etc... everything one app, because you don't even need to write functions, simply writing the function name and it's attributes is enough for the AI to figure it out.
- lionkor 4y agoI just see zero actual value in something anyone can make, like midjourney art.
- nofilk 4y agoWhat about the value of people being able to do things they previously never could? I personally know people saving 30+ hours and thousands because they no longer need to employ others to do work for them. They simply prompt chatgpt. Hell, I even use it to generate website copy for clients and it's basically an instant result. LLMs and crypto shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence in terms of use cases
- gremlinsinc 4y agoWhat about an autogpt, that essentially becomes a 'replicator' for software? Think about it, one company, one software that can do anything, be anything from an ERP system to a CRM, etc... people want different ui/ux? It can know using A/B testing/analytics exactly what ui/ux YOU want and give you a personalized one, no big deal. It can be a specialized software for real estate or the auto sales industry etc, all while training it's replacement in the background. We're not far from having something like this, there's value in that to the person probably who creates it, but crypto never had the reach that AI has in the ways it could disrupt society for better or worse.
- antibasilisk 4y ago>Except, crypto honestly seemed like it had utility but really didn't... But crypto does have utility, in countries like Lebanon and Iran, there are people who are only able to live comfortably thanks to their ability to receive Monero in exchange for their work
- Gigachad 4y agoThe utility doesn’t come anywhere close to the hype. Unless you live in a war zone, you can completely ignore crypto.
- antibasilisk 4y agoYou're right that it doesn't match the hype, but the idea that it doesn't have any use outside of war zones is just demonstrably false.
