Nothing and the hilarious thing is that the AI figureheads admit that technology (as in defined by new theorems produced and new code written), will do pathetically little to move the needle on human happiness forward.
The guy running Anthropic thinks the future is in biotech, developing the cure to all diseases, eternal youth etc.
Which is technology all right, but it's unclear to me how these chatbots (or other AI systems) are the quickest way to get there.
- robertlagrant 2y agoI think it's definitely the case that AI has certain really useful niches, but it is hard to know the ones that will really make enough money to make training an AI worth it. E.g. "parse a million company statements into these criteria and invest based on an algorithm on those criteria" might be very valuable. Maybe someone's doing it. But I struggle to think it'd be worth billions.
