Not just certain parts of a job or a few fields.

But recently his videos make me think he’s been duped a bit into thinking we’re about to see Terminator come true.
Edit: I have recently gotten a feeling that in 12 months we’ll have AI services that can replace many people working office jobs. We need to get ahead of that shitshow. Not super intelligence. Mere general intelligence.

That seems to be the end of the Earth from the perspective of an Ethiopian genesis story. People adapted to life in South America, or perhaps Eastern North America, have perhaps the deepest history of adaptation to different latitudes, biomes, etc.

teaearlgraycold Link ParentI quite like Twin Peaks and Fire Walk with Me, but could not stand season 3. I dropped out after 3 or so episodes. I’ve seen a decent bit of Lynch’s works but some of his stuff is lost on me.I quite like Twin Peaks and Fire Walk with Me, but could not stand season 3. I dropped out after 3 or so episodes.

Comment on OpenAI’s rogue agents were caught communicating via public wikis in ~tech

But it's got to be an incredibly lossy process. I expect a future version to operate off of sensory inputs mapped to neuron activations and motor neuron outputs. That should let you reverse engineer a human rather than just processes. And just like that you've created an android. TBD if that's more of a problem or a solution.

The great problem with our system is people only get paid when they can prove immediate financial impact to someone. Someone can create tremendous economic uplift by educating children and they get rewarded with a small salary. The fruits of their labor won’t appear for years, and potentially at some great geographic distance.

It's genuinely useful. I wish people could be unified around the thing that matters the most to them - threats to their income. There's a whole class of wealthy people that are ready to burn tons of money for a chance at eliminating millions of employees from their collective payrolls. That's what people should be yelling about. Not data centers, not water usage, not generative AI being included in too many programs.
At the same time, the best people should hope for is a soft landing. We should never attempt some Soviet-style command economy tactics where people are employed just for the sake of employment when the work could be automated away. Longshoremen received a deal as the shipping industry evolved. I don't see why an organized group of white collar workers couldn't achieve the same.
