i am begging every skeptic to find some middle ground, any middle ground at all, between rejecting speculation as sci-fi and refusing to speculate even slightly about what happens next
A relatively small number of people in certain jobs say that ChatGPT and other LLMs have made them more productive at work. But in the overall economy, it does not look like net productivity is up.
Most of the supposed value is in sci-fi speculation. “Imagine a machine that cures cancer.”

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.
What does OpenAI offer the world?

some day everyone will have understood this all along
Part of the reason why I’m so insistent about folks understanding AI capabilities is that they’re here to stay and we need to start thinking about what to do in such a world. Putting the genie back in the bottle is a pleasant fantasy that delays serious reckoning

worth noting that empirical work by economists has resulted in something of positive reconsideration of rent control when combined with policies that make it easier to build housing

the deaths Musk has caused have had no bearing on his personal standing. It is ghastly to contemplate that no one in the press interrupts his latest announcement about some new waifu robot to ask “what about the children you took food and medicine away from?”
I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

“Happy birthday,” said Frog. Toad put on the hat. It fell down over his eyes.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
