I have a hard time looking at the world around me and thinking "close to no value"
replyBesides technological progress which has nothing to do with this effect and would have happened anyway, what's the value that we didn't have 30 years ago?
replyIt’s so incredible to me that now we have a chat interface we can ask about anything in any language and get really great answers, something literally considered science fiction a few years ago, and people still act like that is no big deal at all. No value in something like that! Don’t tell me it’s inaccurate, I strongly believe it’s way more accurate than if you could ask an expert in each topic , which of course you couldn’t and even if you did, you would most likely not want to since you would get a lot of “you don’t actually want that, you want this unrelated thing, trust me I am better than you”. Just remember StackOverflow (depending on how young you are perhaps you never even heard of that given how much AI has eclipsed it)!
reply> I strongly believe it’s way more accurate than if you could ask an expert in each topic
replyYou can believe anything you want. I can also believe that the only thing that has gone up in the last 30 years is billionaires' worth, and amount of idiots saying things they don't know anything about.
I strongly believe this. Don't tell me it's inaccurate.
It gives wrong answers.
replyI’m talking specifically about the AI industry
replyWell, how does it compare to the internet industry?
replyThis is no one's end goal. It's just the market being irrational longer than sane people can stay solvent.
replyIt's greed at the top pushing the market into insanity. "AI" vendors are dangling the carrot of "eliminate manpower" in front of the manpower-owning class and they are throwing everything they have at it. The wealth that's been thrown into this hole could have payed for a couple million work-years of developers.
replyIf AGI is the next evolutionary goal, its the difference between being stuck and not.
replyWealth is also only relevant in a capitalistic system, which we invented. It could easily be that all other species never created capitalism and are therefore waiting for us somewere which we will not reach because we are stuck on 'wealth'.
And if we are stuck in a local minimum, it might seem that GPT-2 broke us out of there.
There are, what, about 50 million developers worldwide?
replySo instead of AI that pretty much everyone can use, we could have had 3 or 4 weeks of business as usual?
