Your god analogy is clumsy in this case. We aren't talking about something fantastical here. Reasoning is not difficult to define. We can go down that road if you'd like. Rather, the problem is, once you do define it, you will qui

-The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board’s 2014 review of the NSA “Section 215” phone-record program found no instance in which the dragnet produced a counter-terror lead that couldn’t have been obtained with targeted subpoenas. ht

This is mostly security theater, and generally not worth the lift when you consider the steps needed to unlock the value of that data in the context of investigations.

Searchable? You have to know what to search for, and you have to rule out false positives. How do you discern a person roleplaying some secret agent scenario vs. a person actually plotting something? That's not something a search funct

Search engines use our data for completely different purposes.

Think of all the complete garbage interactions you'd have to sift through to find anything useful from a national security standpoint. The data is practically obfuscated by virtue of its banality.

Really more of a moral panic than a coherent analysis, but that's not unusual.

What if you use it to handle boring BS work you don't care about and focus on what you actually want to do? I offload my work tasks to GPT and do other stuff during work hours. Play with my dog. Stretch. Paint. Work on other creative p

No. It's your criticism that is unwarranted.

It might have something to do with the fact that "fine art" is simply the attempt to create verisimilitude. I guess you get a bit of leeway as an impressionist, but painting landscapes over and over again just seems so boring to m

Statistical inference is a form of logic. Can it do pure logical deduction? No. And neither can humans without some underlying pattern recognition to form premises. This notion of true "understanding" is a fantasy.

People slack off no matter their location, and managers generally don't care as long as they do the basics.

It's pretty clear what is meant by anyone under the age of 50.

They're not saying medical treatment makes us weaker. Can you refute what they're saying without strawmanning them?

No, GPT 4 cannot consistently hold a position for longer than a few minutes in my experience.

People underestimate how valuable this is. If you can get an assistant that is capable of being the devil's advocate in any given scenario, it's much easier to game out scenarios.

I already made the point. There is no moat. You cannot keep that technology for yourself. Much like nuclear technology. Others will develop it in tandem, and we'll reach an equilibrium.

History does not show that. Not at the levels of concentration we're talking about. The wealthy cannot maintain control over this technology. Again, there is no moat.

The level of wealth concentration you are suggesting is impossible to sustain. History shows that when wealth inequality gets to a certain point, it leads either to a revolution or a total collapse of that society. The economy cannot be sus
