got to get in the race then. eventually.

they have open source datasets like LAION-5B, the Common Crawl, the Pile etc.. the main thing is getting a model trained on it. I guess I would need to design the transformer architecture, train the model, then use that as a proof-of-concept to get investors interested.

Or build an app around Stable-Diffusion, post it on app store, make some money, and use that to get investors interested. Probably do this then with the investments and some hired help do what i said in the first paragraph

I don’t think competing for resources is that much of an issue, considering how large the universe and even our galaxy alone is. The earth can probably handle around 15 billion people before we start to have any issues, and we are unlikely to reach anywhere near that number with birth rates declining globally, even if we achieve biological immortality in a few decades.

Europe a Nation

>Europe a Nation was a policy developed by the British fascist politician Oswald Mosley as the cornerstone of his Union Movement. It called for the integration of Europe into a single political entity. Although the idea failed to gain widespread support for the Union Movement, it proved highly influential on European far-right thought.

WAAAAH THEY TOOK MOLDOVA WAAAAAH

Just make yourself not get bored. You have access to your brain

Thoughtful writing, OP! Well written.

Here is the big “if” with your entire argument about this being a good deal for Open AI: that is a HUGE AMOUNT of money to repay to Microsoft and VCs. We’re talking years and years of consistently high/increasing profitability and market domination before the rights are back to Open AI exclusively.

Does anyone really think OpenAI is going to be the dominant AI in 5 years? 10 years? Do you not think Microsoft or a competitor will siphon the tech during that time? It’s a huge bet on themselves, and a huge bet against others to not catch up.

My point is: I wouldn’t put too much value in the “they’ll get it back” aspect at the end of all this. Microsoft knows it’ll be a widely replicated, aged piece of old meat at that point.

But outside of that aspect, I agree with the rest of your points. Logical all around.

Thanks ChatGPT for a well-written, informative post and the OP for providing the posting hardware interface.

One of the few well-written, well-considered and informative posts on this sub or anywhere else on Reddit!

>It will be companies that have lots of intellectual workers that can quickly scale up with AI providing intellectual labor.

>I actually expect law firms, medical field, schooling platforms and other almost purely intellectual firms to benefit the most from an economic windfall perspective.

I agree that AI will benefit those firms that you mentioned, but I don't think that that benefit will come at the expense of widespread automation at those organizations (IF that's what you mean), at least in the short and medium term.

Knowledge work (in general) is a lot more than just crunching numbers, shuffling papers, etc. Anybody who works in a knowledge-based field (or is familiar with a knowledge-based field) knows this.

AI that's capable of fully replacing what a significant amount of knowledge workers do is still pretty far out, IMO, given how much human interaction, task variety/diversity, abstract thinking, precision, etc. is involved in much of knowledge work (not to mention legal hurdles, adoption, etc).

Will some of these jobs dissappear over the next 5-10 years? 100%. There's no point in even denying that, nor is there any point in denying that much of the rest of knowledge work will undoubtedly change over the next time span and even more so after that, but I'm pretty confident we're a ways away from it being totally disrupted by AI.

My 2 cents.

Tell that to Ted Kaczynski

Open AI finances and possible future.

This is such a foolish myopic mentality. May I ask how old you are, out of interest?

>So if OpenAI creates AGI, the average person gets 0.0000000125% of a zillion dollars

Why do you think that a company being non-profit means that they have to give all their profits equally to everyone around the country? It just means they can't make a profit, they can spend the money on whatever they want.

Those zillions could also be hard to come by if lesser AGIs proliferate. As a result, once profitable markets may no longer be profitable in the future.

In a world where an AI assistant handles people's shopping, and there are hundred AI competitors for every product they create, will companies still spend $700 billion on advertising per year.

I think it's more likely people will be able to afford more via price reductions vs increasing their income.

As if you haven't tried to live out your Greater Romanian fantasies before?

AI will replace programmers and artists in a few years, but they are still useful skills in a post-AI world. A good programmer can specify what they want, and what they know is possible for computers, just as a good artist can set a scene, decide lighting and palette. They provide the seed about which the AI can grow the crystal. A good musician can provide a great song, while AI can do a million variations on it (some better, some worse). I recently asked Riffusion to blend Trance and Reggae, two genres I'd never heard together and the result was great. It was like listening to a never ending fount of music.

George Lucas needed thousands to enact his vision. Those thousands can potentially be replaced by AI now. But G. Lucas's skills contributed to his vision, they did not take away. AI can come up with truly novel things, this shown by medicine and protein synthesis, but this has yet to show up in the Arts. Yet I imagine asking Dall-e to blend Dali and Monet is quite possible.

What we do isn't useless. A simple example is solving a 2D maze. You can trace a small maze, such as they have on Children's menus in the time it takes an AI to solve a monster maze. But just because the AI can solve a maze doesn't mean YOUR maze solving isn't useless, it just means MORE mazes get solved. Capitalism makes everything seem a competition, but that is not how the Universe works: cooperation has won the day, as exampled by our own Human species. Short term, Artists may lose work, but long term, they will bath in unlimited artworks, inspiring their own "maze solving."

I sometimes get scared to. But I'm also hopeful, I think it will improve our lives, it just might make them harder in ways as well.

I would love it if my job were automated haha. It's hard, and I don't particularly enjoy it. I'd rather do other things. In many ways i want to live a life with less tech.. but I think the way to that is through more of it.. at least for those who choose that life.

Here's to a good future.

I seem to recall that you explicitly referred to the Waffen-SS as "heroes" in the past

The "Burgundian" is referring to an entirely different person, who I refer to as a "Burgundian" because they unironically believe that the Burgundian System from the HOI4 mod TNO is an ideal society
