If I was a shareholder I would automatically call for the firing of any CEO who even starts talking about AI.
No matter how many examples we get of companies doing this and everything falling apart there’s always another CEO planning on doing it. Apparently the main requirement of being the CEO is you don’t learn, and arrogantly announce nonsense to the media. If you can manage simultaneous walking and spitting, you’re probably overqualified.
The thing is, its not going to fall apart forever (unfortunately). Billions are invested by all big tech companies into enormous server farms just for AI and their entire future stock value is now based on them coming up with a way to make a profit from this.
Replacing humans can lead to a lot of profit since salaries are one of the most expensive things in a company.
So I dont know. I think the future will suck. But what else is new.
Is anyone even working on AGI or have any clue how to get there? Or are we just going to wait a few years, move the goalposts again, and let them call GPT X “AGI”?
Let’s assume the demand for AI is only 20% of.what is being built. Doesn’t that mean that the other 80% can now be used for something useful (protein folding etc.)?
Also since big tech has more money than almost anything, they become illegal unofficial kings in a world where money is all that matters. They influence entire elections and what information is able to be shared.

It’s like watching a slow motion train wreck.
Either this turns out to be a giant boondoggle (which personally I think is the most likely case) in which case there’s going to be an enormous crash
Or we actually get AGI out of all of this and then it promptly kills us all.

Yes but capitalism = profits is all that matters.

AI has its places. It’s a tool and will/should never replace a skilled worker
These fuckers are so thirsty for more profits they’re trying to cut out thier biggest line item against profits. Humans.
