But that could be done by a smaller and smaller elite cadre.. maybe you could call it the philosopher Kings. But what about the masses

There's another way to look at it which is that that which is Coveted but scarce will be expensive and that's what people will be selling. We will create the demand and the supply for things we barely even think about or haven&#x2

Some businesses will not necessarily need human customers at all

by redwood 5mo ago
Not the OP but I think there is something to the notion that whatever is scarce but in demand is what will be expensive and of course the inverse would be true as well. What this means is humans however they do get resources will be able to

and why would they need human customers to thrive? They have other machine customers! This is the even more dystopian step two that the essay doesn't explore...

When a Google employee is queried for their feelings on the name "bard" they universally agree it is a winner

It's particularly touching when they do their due diligence and recognize that they have an explicit competing offering to your own flagship product and have one of their specialist sellers reach out to you to ask you if you'd be

If this all leads to a generative monoculture that is also Frozen in Time that would be pretty sad.

The response to the question in the example image should have been "what's the question behind the question?"

I can assure you that Google will be giving them significant commercial incentives as an apology for this behind the scene

Honestly they really are starting to look that way. Total opinionated Walled Garden that's against an open and thriving ecosystem. Unlike Microsoft the technology is not yet garbage but I hope this isn't where they're going t

Has anyone seen a similar deep dive but that looks a little bit more closely at the infrastructure building blocks that power each of the components. I mean something a bit more physically grounded like how much compute would go to each por

This is where I would say that to defining that mechanism is the hard problem... it's a mischaracterization to call it the easy problem. But it doesn't require a soul

Your comment does serve the point I was making. Still there is a perspective that if you could artificially reproduce the human mind top to bottom, a truly perfect reproduction in other words, then you ought to be able to trigger an identic

I think a lot of people interpret philosophers' arguments differently and it isn't always clear what a philosopher themselves truly believes. For example Searle's Chinese room thought experiment... On the one hand you can eas

I look at it a bit differently. I bet Cisco's overall employment will only rise over time maybe even this year but certainly in the years to come. But the point is they do need to rebalance the kind of focus area they have. In other wo

Northern Nevada would be such an obvious place to build out large amounts of solar energy as well

Agree. The characterization makes it seem like somebody's trying that extra attention on social media. It's sad that we're at the point where everything has to be hyperbolic

This is orthogonal to many classes of write throughput. And in fact in many cases deletes themselves are effectively adding to the write workload

Not at all surprising. If you look at the history of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth it was very similar to the dynamism of the Holy Roman Empire in what we now think of as the German speaking lands. Except you combine that with some eve

It's a multi-layered question. On the one hand if energy is more expensive and you still consume roughly the same amount but actually that raises gdp. However you're assuming that there's demand destruction with the rise of e
