Da Vinci inspired whole new generations of artists, thinkers and scientists. The net benefit of his existence distributed itself among many others - as it does with any great artist, thinker or scientist. It certainly looks like generative

I don't think so. The main idea is that for AI to continue to develop new data is needed. Skills of the Luddites were no longer needed.

I gave a specific example with whom I empathize and no, I'm not joking. You on the other hand point to a different group and say "look, look, there is this group, don't you like them as well ?" which is close to "bu

I'm not advocating anything of this sort. I only reject the typical framing of "bad guys" on one side.

I incline towards you on the subject but if you call it guessing you open yourself up to all sorts of rebuttals.

This is a bit off topic, but I think it's important to counter propaganda. It's not surveillance that makes one a Nazi. The Nazi playbook 101 starts with attacking all unfavorable media ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

Then again, I think the opposite is (at this moment) equally unfalsifiable. Humans have on average 86 billion neurons, sperm whales have bigger brains and their average neuron count is 200 billion. African elephants have 257 billion neurons

Chess hustlers are a particular niche case and I think many of them would disagree with you (the money part). Making arguments in such an absolute manner and speaking on behalf of many people (mostly with whom you share very little I assume

Imho your argument is faulty at its base. The objective of chess competition isn't to produce a reasonably good game for the lowest possible cost (blunders and comebacks are actually pretty valuable parts of the spectacle). It also isn

> creation should happen for its own sake Creation should happen for whatever reason its creator becomes inspired with. The only absolute I can think of is no one should actually categorize worthy and unworthy motifs.

Oh yeah, I forgot artists are spiritual creatures who don't have to eat. It certainly isn't the only reason to create but a necessary condition to actually be a professional artist, no ?

I do. If the incentive to actually create is gone.

I really don't think there's an explanation there. All Sutskever says is the idea is to ask a LLM to be the smartest being on the planet and it magically happens.

Anywhere where automation is cheaper is basically an answer for you. If it can be automated it will be. That includes various kinds of warfare, surveillance, energy resource management, healthcare etc. What you are basically asking is wher

I don't think it's pure magic and feelings. From what I gather the conclusions people like Yudkowsky draw are rather from our own history and simple natural order of the food chain. > I'm always thinking, who in power woul

Because that wasn't your point. You claimed it's hubris and ego because greatness is in the eye of the third-party beholder. Now you argue it is necessary that greatness must be unlikely, which is of course true but changes nothin

There are plenty of exceptions to recall here. People who thought of themselves as great but were diminished by others for being fools are easy to find in history of science in particular. I'd say if you invoke hubris or ego then you y

But that's just ad absurdum considering we don't have straight answers when it comes to socio-political issues.
