> As we celebrate Auto-GPT's rapid ascent, it's crucial to take a step back and scrutinize its potential shortcomings. Why is it crucial? This project has existed for barely a month, and describes itself as an experiment. Who is using this for production?

Exactly this. And the article seems to assume the whole world will remain in stasis forever more. ChatGPT won't get cheaper, or faster; AutoGPT won't be iterated on, extended, or improved; GPT-4 will be the last GPT ever released. Or maybe, just maybe, all variables will continue trending in a positive direction in the time it would take to build a production product. And then I wonder what point, exactly, this article is trying to make.

  Your hypotheticals would be nice.

  I think people are just failing to see the progress as exponential and to extrapolate that way. I see a lot of 'pooh pooh' claims that make this assumption that because the current state is flawed or doesn't measure up that somehow justifies the belief that they can rest easy and have nothing to worry about. I contrast that with my own experience of I go to bed and wake up the next day and check what new tools, models and papers have been released and usually have one "hot damn!" moment per day.

    We’re on the zero downside, only upside technology curve to utopia ?

      >We’re on the zero downside, only upside technology curve to utopia ? Not how technology works in my experience. My mental model of technology is that it acts as a multiplier on life's peaks and valleys, so the highs get higher and the lows get lower. To my mind that means AGI will bring the ultimate of highs along with the ultimate of lows. Doesn't sound like utopia to me. Sounds like a good time, until it's not.

It's "crucial" because the model that generated most of the text in this article likes saying that word. https://twitter.com/topynate/status/1641468708928249857 https://twitter.com/topynate/status/1641468708928249857

I have never, ever seen a hype wave like this. Cryptocurrency doesn't even come close. We have people saying that unfinished toy projects on GitHub are going to revolutionize entire industries on the basis of one contrived demo. We have other people calling for air strikes on data centers and nuclear war to stop... text generators. What's wrong with people?

  Speaking of $16,000 Bitcoins... I think this might be the wave that pushes you over $100k each. I have a github repo that says so, with math.

      Didn't know but yeah, was pointing out how many of my friends had "predicted" the sudden climb of Bitcoin because of "inverted curves" or some other magic.

  Lots of people who can't be bothered to learn programming are excited about doing things without having to learn programming.
