Sam Altman gave millions to Andrew Yang for pushign UBI, so they are trying to forewarn and experiment with finding the right solution. Most of the world prefers to shove their heads in the sand though and call them grifters, so of course we'll do nothing until it's catastrophic.

#12The amount of EM dashes and usage of negation does make me think AI wrote part of this. I'll give credit for lack of semicolons, but people are starting to get a bit better at "humanizing" their outputs.

#13The reason I dislike AI use in certain modes is because the end result looks like a Happy Meal toy from McDonalds. It looks roughly like the thing you wanted or expected, but on even a casual examination it falls far short. I don’t believe this is something we can overcome with better models. Or, if we can then what we will end up writing as prompts will begin to resemble a programming language. At which point it just isn’t worth what it costs.
This tech is a breakthrough for so many reasons. I’m just not worried about it replacing my job. Like, ever.

#14> Microsoft’s AI CEO is saying AI is going to take everybody’s job. And Sam Altman is saying that AI will wipe out entire categories of jobs. ANd Matt Shumer is saying that AI is currently like Covid in January 2020—as in, “kind of under the radar, but about to kill millions of people”. > I legitimately feel like I am going insane when I hear AI technologists talk about the technology. They’re supposed to market it.…
This is also what OpenAI’s “safety” angle was all about.
“Ohhhh this is so scary! It’s so powerful we have to be very careful with it!” (Buy our stuff or be left behind, Mr. CEO, and invest in us now or lose out)

Pangram is crap. Simple N-gram analysis ala stylometry techniques your local 3 letter has known about since the 90s are more effective.
Also, I can make even the most slopped models give me 100% "human written" easily by simply fiddling with the sampler settings. Catch me if you can with temp = 100 and a modern distributional aware truncation sampler (i.e. P-less decoding, top-H, even min_p)

The marketing is clearly effecting individual developers, too. There's a mass psychosis happening

Hahah, this guy Gen-Zs.

Anthropic has been the most histrionic about this, with their big blog post about how they need to make sure their models don't feel like they are being emotionally abused by the users being the most fatuous example.
Re: I guess I kinda get why people hate AI
#19AI is scary, but look on the bright side:
Whenever there is a massive paradigm shift in technology like we have with AI today, there are absolutely massive, devastating wars because the existing strategic stalemates are broken. Industrialized precision manufacturing? Now we have to figure out who can make the most rifles and machine guns. Industrialized manufacturing of high explosives? Time to have a whole world war about it. Industrialized manufacturing of electronics? Time for another world war.
Industrialized manufacturing of intelligence will certainly lead to a global scale conflict to see if anyone can win formerly unwinnable fights.
Thus the concerns about whether you have a job or not will, in hindsight, seem trivial as we transition to fighting for our very survival.

#20> If I can somehow hate a machine that has basically stopped me from having to write boring boilerplate code, of course others are going to hate it! Poor author, never tried expressive high-level languages with metaprogramming facilities that do not result in boring and repetitive boilerplate.
