Nah not 0%.

But firms will start paying attention and the likelihood is we will see revenue's stagnate (not growing as fast) in short order as a result of it.

When people start having to be careful over a lot of stuff, they'll decide not to use it in the first place.

Was it?

They've been dishing out cheap access specifically to researchers give over lmao. The researcher's got lured in - they need to accept they got played TBH.

Altman is certainly more devious than Amodei - he's shown that time and time again.

PG was right about he said about him.

Every entity on earth should see it as a kill shot: be careful what you put in the models. None of your information is safe.

Agents are the wrong paradigm entirely and have limited places where they actually belong.

Going off and searching the web isn't really it.

You need to create 'new worlds' where they can operate best - and even then constrain what it does.

No its happening whilst the human is working with it. The new inputs provided become part of the brute-force. This is what Scam Altman means by 'self-recursive'.

Trust me I've seen it happen to myself. I no longer trust ChatGPT.

I can see right through his act. Altman is one devious f8k.

COrrect and this is how labour displacement happens.

There are many actions being performed today that can be nicely packaged.

Im already working on such a project.

Yes open source code was the first - it’s what has got Anthropic and OAI its revenues from selling outputs associated with producing code.

I’d argue the invitation of researchers was incredibly strategic.

Sam Altman knows what he’s doing. He will happily screw these folks to one-up his competition.

That’s one perspective.

I just view it as a thing that can brute force and produce outputs - that it has no way of ‘knowing’ - but doesn’t need to since it’s just running off of probability.

No human can compete in that contest. But no llm can compete in the contest of ‘understanding’ and application in the real world - which is where 99% of the value is.

I’m very pro AI long term btw but I’m not blinded.
