<p>Maybe Sam Altman is like robin hood. Taking from the rich (investors) to give to the poor (everyone else). The poor win by having cheap models (chinese) which were probably trained on data from ChatGPT et al. Of course he can't say this out loud or he wouldn't get any money from investors. In the end, if OpenAI goes bankrupt who else besides the investors lose money? Who benefits?</p>

<p>If AI works well, we'll reach the singularity and nobody in this world knows what the hell will happen.<p>We might merge consciousness and live in an ethereal medium, we might insert ourselves in a simulation and keep our physical bodies neatly healthy organized and packed where 20 Bln is not a problem at all, we might collectively (or AI do it for us) decide to reduce human pop to 1 Bln or less on Earth and terraform other planets.<p>Call me crazy, but if you described our world to someone some hundreds years ago, theyd think the same. Crazyness is a requirement for a correct prediction of the future. There are ALWAYS status quo changes based on revolutionary magic-like technologies that results in significant changes.<p>If you want to have at least a <i>mild</i> change of doing some sort of future prediction you can check predictions about our current time from people in the past and you'll see the mistakes they make, most people nowadays keep making. Using current technology and ways of thinking, as if they would stay the same just used in different ways, not thinking enough out of the box and allowing themselves to be more imaginative. Fix that, and you'll make wild predictions but also some of them which will be much closer to the truth than any status quo linear evolving incremental improving technology based prediction.</p>

<p>The psychology term for that is "mirroring" and it's a way used to make people like you. It's used consciously by people very high in narcissistic traits (up to psychopaths) and unconsciously by people medium/low on those same traits (people with borderline PD, most fawners (people pleasers) with CPTSD.</p>

<p>I find that an extremely inefficient way of thinking. Spending time on problems on the minuscule off chance that a few centuries later they will be useful whereas you could be spending time right now on problems you know for a fact are useful is a weird trade off to make.</p>

<p>A lot of us already saw the writing on the wall, how LLMs capabilities could only improve and inevitably lead here. We were called "cultists" and mocked for predicting this exact situation. "It's just parroting the next token." "A SWE will always be needed" "(...)". I always pointed you to the 5 stages of grief and was met with obvious denial and anger.<p>Seems like we're now crossing into bargaining and depression.<p>I have empathy for those who were open minded enough not to mock those of us who were warning against this or swiftly dismissed our opinions. I hope you can now be open minded to the fact this will continue, and will extend to ALL jobs, that our society WILL dramatically change to the point of becoming unrecognizable in the not so distant future. We tend to be consistent in making the same errors when predicting the future. You just need to look into past predictions about our present time. Most people still make those errors. But once you see them you can try to avoid them, though unfortunately not making those mistakes usually leads you to seem crazy to others, which is also part of the reason those mistakes are so common.</p>

<p>Understanding of reality comes in many forms.<p>We don't see in UV or infrared, but some birds do.<p>On the other hand, AI can understand reality in ways we individually can't: It has combined access to unlimited knowledge of math, physics and chemistry that at this point no single human possesses. Maybe it understands reality better than any single human at this point.<p>Also we're seeing AI reason from first principles in order to simulate physics and get to that real world understanding without directly interacting with it.</p>
