So then what of people who’ve been working in AI for decades?
specifically those who like me are very excited about the future and have been excited about every step of the way since they got started?
In my case this is all going fantastically as planned and almost perfectly on the Kurzweil timeline. so as a 40+ person who has been wanting an Oracle in my pocket forever, we are closer to that then we have ever been. why the fuck wouldn’t I be excited about that? there was nothing like this in the 1980s and that’s a fact.
The concept of the Dick Tracy watch was science fiction when I was a kid and my kids all have Dick Tracy watches casually. That’s unbelievable!
The technology is amazing. Our society is the problem. People are attributing to AI what are ultimately society problems, much like the nuclear debate a century ago.
If you create technology that suddenly amplifies societal problems, it's functionally indistinguishable of technology being the problem.
Also, I notice that with age people are less anti LLMs. I have to wonder if it has to do with the fact that we have less time left and so we care less about long term repercussions.
