I was cured of blind techno-optimism years ago. The race for superintelligence is between ad-slinging megacorps and authoritarian governments. Whoever wins, we humans lose.
- MeImCounting 2y agoI Feel like were having two different conversations here. Who said anything about optimism? Are those the two options now optimism or doomerism? No space left for anything approaching realism? I criticize blind techno-doomerism for its use of clanky old worn out cliches from the sci-fi of last century. I criticize LLM bros for being naive and blinded by advertising. Both groups completely misunderstood the relevant sci-fi from this century, if they actually bothered to read any. Sometimes between the rabid hype-bros and the holier-than-thou doomers you can find actual conversation about the nature of human interaction with theoretical future machine intelligence, how LLMs relate to that and the technical aspects of creating such a thing. Its rare but it is out there.
- klyrs 2y agoYou called me annoying because I don't read sci-fi. Now I stand accused of reading the wrong the wrong sci-fi? Whatever. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
