If we actually want to maintain our standard of living and reduce the population size, we may very well need AI automation utilities. They can keep scaling down in size and power consumption in the way that a real human can’t.
Theoreticisizing LLM’s usefulness and resourcefulness doesn’t help you there. For now they are rather useless embaracingly inefficient resoucehogs existing purely because of the bubble. It’s a gamble at best, or a waste of resources and a degradation of human workforce at worst.
AI is not just LLMs, and it’s already revolutionized biotechnical engineering through things like alpha fold. Like I said, “AI”, as in neural network algorithms of which LLMs are just one example, are literally solving entirely new classes of problems that we simply could not solve before.
I don’t have to dream, DeepMind literally won the Nobel prize last year. My best friend did his PhD in protein crystallography and it took him 6 years to predict the structure of a single protein underlying legionnaires disease. He’s now at MIT and just watched DeepMind predict hundreds of thousands of them in a year.
If you vet your news sources by only listening to ones that are anti-AI then you’re going to miss the actual exciting advancements lurking beneath the oceans of tech bro hype.

lol keep dreaming :)

just passing by to point out the nobel prize is political, not meritocratic.
This is false, it’s not a binary system. The prize is both.
if it’s anything other than meritocratic, then by definition it is not.
it’s like saying there’s free speech, but only a select group of people can have it.
Lol if you rigidly define things binarily in a way that doesn’t reflect real world systems, then sure they’re binary.
likewise, if you bend words to mean what you want them to mean we don’t have much reason to even be discussing it.
if something doesn’t get primarily awarded by merit, it’s simply not meritocratic.
