One would hope progress directly benefits more than the tech CEOs and investors. They're the ones going around heralding fully automated societies and god-level AIs. Open minded people also recognize the dangers of technological disruption. Let us not forget how social media went from being viewed as utopian to dystopian in a decade.
- dyauspitr 5mo agoSocial media offered no value. If LLMs get about 5x better at what they do they offer a lot in terms of medical discoveries, governance, dirt cheap labor, fully automated raw material to end product pipelines, automated farming and the list goes on and on.
- overgard 5mo agoYou should read a book on how LLMs actually work on a technical level. Saying they just need to get "5x better" and suddenly they're performing miracles is just nonsense hyperbole
- dyauspitr 5mo agoI’m very aware of how they work and pretty much everything they do is emergent.
- goatlover 5mo agoDirt cheap labor doesn't sound good for the working class. At best they get a livable UBI, while the capital class becomes even richer and more powerful. I don't know where you're getting governance and manufacturing stuff that sounds like advanced robotics out of LLMs.
