"As AI gets smarter, access to AI will be a fundamental driver of the economy, and maybe eventually something we consider a fundamental human right. Almost everyone will want more AI working on their behalf."

I don't buy it at all.

This sounds like complete and total bullshit to me.

Why do you feel that way?

At least the statement starts with a conditional, even if it is a silly one.

If you know your growth curve is ultimately going to be a sigmoid, fitting a model with only data points before the inflection point is underdetermined.

> If AI stays on the trajectory that we think it will

Is a statement that no amount of prior evidence can support.

years of consistent disappointment with the user experience, along with years of misleading internet propaganda dramatically overselling the quality and power of the underlying technology.

it's a fucking dud.

they’re certainly cozy with the administration. this was in the openai RSS feed yesterday: https://openai.com/global-affairs/american-made-innovation/

interestingly, it doesn’t seem to be linked from the “news” section of their website.

I think if you're critiquing AI, you should use harsher words.

AI boosters are going to spam the replies to your comment in attempts to muddy the waters.

It surprises me that people still believe this! I've seen AI deliver incredible value over the past year. I believe the application level is utilizing <.5% (probably less) of the total value that can be derived from current foundation models.
