Lots going on on the AI front these days. Sadly, most of it is not public.
GPT has been such a tidal wave that everything has been put in motion to hide it.
There is no doubt in my mind that GPT-4 tuned a little bit for any task, outperforms 90-95% of folks.
We were not ready for that, and so we are acting like AI can’t do everything while capitalism is telling all companies “you should use that thing and save millions! lol!”. Most layoffs will be replaced by some AI version for tons of things. I see it in my fields. I see it everywhere.
This comment highlights the slowness of people’s reasoning about that massive change, though:
Sooner or later a critical mass of people will demand sharply more progressive tax rates, and even things like UBI, if too much wealth is concentrated in too few hands.
The taxes solution has been hacked for decades by the powerful. It’s over, don’t even bother. There is already far too much wealth concentrated in too few hands. UBI is the only solution, and should be a priority since the early 2010s to be honest.
