Just a bunch of hype marketing. I didn't read anything of real substance, granted I didn't read the whole thing because it seemed pointless.
Yea I gave up. Ironically it reads like it's (at least partially) AI generated. Long winded and boring without getting to the damn point.

You can learn all you want, but ai is a software, not a “we”.
AI is a software tool used by a user. Is a (human) user not allowed to learn all they want by using whatever helper tools they want?
Interesting that Sonya and Pat credited GPT-4 as an author; they could've used it to make things concise!
The moment that generative AI became something crazy for me was when I said "holy shit, maybe Blake Lemoine was right". Lemoine was the Google engineer who made a big fuss saying that Google had a sentient AI in development and he felt there were ethical issues to consider. And at the time we all sort of chuckled- of course Google doesn't have a true AGI in there. No one can do that. And it wasn't much later I had my…
Isn't the takeaway : "holy shit, these things are advanced enough to make people like Blake Lemoine believe they are sentient?"
> Four decades of the internet (accelerated by COVID) has given us trillions of tokens’ worth of training data. Yeah four decades of stolen intellectual property posted by people on the internet in good will for the world to see, only to have it stolen and monetised by these folks. Wondering, once the good content dies out how will you “train” your “ai”?
What’s up with the “accelerated by COVID”? It feels completely out of place. Would we have not had enough training data if COVID didn’t happen? Blessings in disguise, I guess.

VCs writing shallow thought leadership pieces has become too common. They don't seem to yet realize everyone has figured it out for what it is - self serving.
Modern AI is impressive, sure, but comparing it to the invention of the internet itself? It's too early to come to such conclusions imo.

The counterpoint to this is always "models work with numerical vectors and we translate those to/from words" These things feel sentient because they talk like us, but if I told you that I have a machine that takes 1 20k-dimensional vector and turns it into another meaningful 20k-dimensional vector, you definitely wouldn't call that sentience.
