24/7 peopling is *incredibly* taxing. I am in awe that you managed to pull it off.

Excellent choice!

Now there's only the small matter of if that is even remotely a good thing or not.

So, same page, different book, I guess.

You say this as if the tech giants were *not* all about NFTs and cryptocurrencies and the metaverse just a few years ago.

We already have all the technology we need to solve our problems. For a while now, actually.

And yet we do not use it. Why do you think that is? And what will another new invention help if we are not willing to use it to help people?

That's exactly what they said about blockchains in 2021.

It's growing rapidly because it's a bubble. LLMs are interesting toys but they're not actually *that* useful.
And one day (hopefully soon) people will realise that. And I hope it's not too late by then.

You said that you believe AI in research would be the next step to making huge advancements as a civilisation.

I am telling you that neither is AI good at scientific research nor are the major challenges we face as a civilisation primarily scientific.

1. I didn't say it was either/or. I said doing more AI or even science will not fix these problems.
2. What part of mathematics can you trust to LLMs?
3. If you ran a thousand LLMs, they'd still be statistical averages over their training data and have no way of finding new true things in the world.

1. The lack of that ability is not why people go cold or hungry or die in wars or floods.
We should fix those first.

2. Sure there are. Scientific research isn't one of them, though.

3. You cannot trust the output of an LLM to be true and have no way of finding out except doing it yourself anyway.

It's the hand holding the guitar by the neck shifting through several dimensions of spacetime for me.

Also, "as there's some bricks to maybe and my Ma' and running house"?... I feel like I'm having a stroke.
