i tried to watch it but like AI in general, it was extraordinarily boring. neural nets are really cool technically, but the whole AI thing is just getting old and I couldnt care less where its going

we can guarantee that whether its the birth of superintelligence or just a very powerful but fundamentally limited algorithm, it will not be used for the betterment of mankind, it will be exploited by the few at the top at the expense of the masses

because thats apparently who we are as a species

If you watch on there's a bit where they decide to give away all the protein folding results for free when they could have charged (https://youtu.be/d95J8yzvjbQ?t=4497). Not everything is exploitation rather than the betterment of mankind.

that sort of mentality is typical in researchers, but the powers that be will be thinking about profit and control, mass layoffs and AI governance in conjunction with digital id, carbon credits etc

every technological advancement that made people more productive and should have led to them having to do less work, only led to people needing to do more work to survive. i just dont see AI being any different
