You (not responding to you directly simias) are truly delusional if you think what's happening isn't extremely concerning and dystopian in a lot of ways.

And there will be a lot of ego death, esp. with people deep in a lot of kowledge work.

But if you claim that AI is absolutely a waste and bad for humanity I feel sorry for you if you can't see how incredible it is that we have this new technology. -That it will most likely solve some very core issues humans are working on, and that it is a kind of evolutionary moment in human history, creating artificial intelligence. I feel sorry that you can't see past your own nose to see the bigger picture in that sense.

I tend to think big changes will always make things better and worse at the same time. If you look at the long horizon of history (100s of years) it appears that it makes things better on balance. But who really knows for sure what will happen.

I think at this point I am mostly in AI camp. The recent advances in reverse engineering automation ( and subsequent panic -- and upcoming banhammer - coming from owners and shareholders of previously available money makers ) made me recognize it is a real shift and not just an incremental improvement.

People are scared. I suppose they should be. A lot of people have been invested in ensuring that things stay roughly the way they are. I am not sure that was ever sustainable, but now it seems like an impossible dream.

Cat is out of the bag. Milk is spilt. Hanninal crossed the alps.

Am I worried? Yes. But it is still fucking amazing to watch it unfold.

This will solve problems that humans are working on, but it also will solve everything that makes life worthwhile.

There's nothing good at the end of this path.
