<p>The conclusion to me, is that we may be able to build systems that behave intelligently before we understand whether intelligence and consciousness are connected at all.</p>

<p>If a product is genuinely dangerous to society, self regulation cannot be a suitable harness.<p>If only we had effective governments that could regulate industry.<p>If a nuclear weapon was developed today, would it be down to industry to self regulate?</p>

<p>Honestly, I don't think this actually provided much above a paragraph of text.<p>The visuals didn't show much, and I learnt a lot more from one of the YouTube videos (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCO633KE7RA" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCO633KE7RA</a>) posted below.<p>It's neat that a whole interactive deck can be produced without effort. But it's just not very interesting.</p>

<p>I can see where you're coming from.<p>We exchange our knowledge, time, and skill for money. If this exchange is no longer viable — because similar value can be accessed via LLM agents — we'll have no way of making money.<p>I do think some (non-billionaire) people will survive the transition, but the question then becomes: what happens to everyone else?</p>

<p>I agree.<p>I suppose, my best guess is that a team will be reduced to one or two people; the those that are left will be judged solely on outcomes.<p>Two (human) brains are always useful; the benefit of a human in these scenarios is that we can be accountable, and that we have a very real incentive to do well and not be fired. The LLM obviously doesn't care in that regard!</p>

<p>We won't be programmers in this scenario.<p>The results will hopefully be a lot more tangible.</p>

<p>I think in the future, those who succeed will be equivalent to wayfinders.<p>People who _can_ see the wood for the trees, and are able to understand multiple (sometimes conflicting) requirements and work out a way through that solves the problems that arise, for all involved parties.<p>An understanding of domain, the ability to communicate effectively and a mind that can think laterally, will all be vital.</p>

<p>Exactly.<p>In all cases the first priority of a police officer will be to preserve life.<p>There's no policy in place that would supercede this.<p>I'm stick of having to listen to these uniformed arguments. There's no good that comes from holding these views; only division.</p>

<p>At the the end of the day, you're just a common or garden racist.<p>The main problem, is that you're trying to intellectualise your prejudice; which is quite frankly dangerous.<p>You should be ashamed of yourself.</p>

<p>> You're saying that allegations of two-tier policing are far-right disinformation.<p>No.<p>I am saying that this one event is being used as ammunition by racist organisations to further their aims.<p>One officer was filmed on body cam arresting Henry Nowak. I am referring to him.<p>I am utterly disgusted by the number of frankly racist people using this as a reason to prevent our society being celebrated for its diversity.<p>It's wrong to use this as an example of why immigration is bad for society.<p>I find your efforts abhorrent.<p>> In fact, it is official policy, and the IPCC document leaves no room for interpretation on this.<p>Which policy led to this tragedy occurring?</p>
