    at the end of the day gpt is powering next generation spam bots and writing garbage text, stable diffusion is making shitty clip art that would otherwise be feeding starving artists….
    all the while consuming ridiculous amounts of electricity while humanity is destroying the planet with stuff like power generation….

    it’s definitely automating a lot of tedious things… but not transforming anything that drastically yet….

    but it will… and when it does, the agi that emerges will kill us all.

        but that it domesticates us into pets.

        So all our needs and wants will be taken care of and we no longer have to work or pay bills?

        Welp, I for one welcome our robot AI overlords

            I don’t think billionaires are immune from the same addictions that the rest of us are prone to.

            I’d argue that it is likely that they are more prone to addiction but, their drug of choice is power.

          there’s no way they would want pets… they might keep some humans to study…

        social media did that to humanity by using AI… so in that way, we’re already kitties batting at AI balls of yarn….

        but after it becomes fully self aware, it’ll kill most of us…
