They take too long to build and require that thing called engineering which requires blood sweat and tears.
On the other hand, you can scrape the internet, build a model, semi-rig a couple of demos, hype the product and earn money.
Don't forget, it's all about money. Product is just a means to get money.
Building good things and earning good money as a byproduct is a thing of the old. Boomer stuff. Modern people don't do that anymore. It's not efficient, capitalist and quick enough.
- TheOtherHobbes 3y agoI'm enjoying the irony that a product that relies on scraping the Internet will be undone by the flood of Internet content it generates. I think that's a much more likely outcome than AGI. Even if AGI is possible it's going to be constrained by the training resources thrown at it. Since most of those have been thoroughly enshittified now, the outcome for intelligent AGI isn't looking good. Even if AGI hacks into everyone's camera and messages it's still going to turn into a spam+selfie moster superbot, and not Operation Paperclip 2.0.
