Yup, at the time we created this, there was no good tech in place for the artwork. With SD, we think there’s a path to replacing our existing art pipeline with something generative, but it’s still being figured out. The problem is that 3D assets take a long time for models to create, and we run in near real time. But we’ll get there.

How so? What law of thermodynamics does post-scarcity violate?

This whole thing is just people talking past each other.
ChatGPT is a little "old" for AI. The problem is companies like Google and Meta were too pussy to keep theirs in the wild. Due to cost and moderation issues.
ChatGPT took a blank check from MSFT to launch it, moderate it, and gain all of that sweet sweet brand recognition.
Teams on Meta and Google are pissed that they have had to keep theirs behind the scenes running algorithms (you know, contributing to revenue), so they had to go and say something salty. If they want to prove that ChatGPT is not "innovative" then they need to come out and give us all free access to their tools like Open AI did.
While what they are saying is technically correct, the term "innovative" here is misleading. Because to really innovate you need someone to actually feel the positive results from your invention. So this guy is wrong about whatever innovative AI he might have access to. It's not more innovative, it's more advanced.
Just one man's two cents.

In a communist country there would be no equity market to begin with.
This is perhaps the third time I've said this, but under communism there is no private ownership.
In China there are many examples of private ownership. Shares of a company is one.

Athletes and chess players makes living by not competing with machines, because there is regulations.
Already small freelance artists are being replaced by AI and they have to quit and find other job. Even medium companies are cutting their experienced artist staff because they can make more profit by replacing them. Few visual industries was known to be exploiting artists anyway. It was already hard profession to be sustaining family from.
AI have the intention to replace human to human interaction anyway. There is a sighs that technology is altering our genetics or at least there is obvious boom of autism spectrum disorders.
Seeing in the future where your teacher will be an AI, the doctor will be an AI, your girl/boy friend will be an AI, the psychotherapist will be AI and so on - will just make matters worse.
Real artists are being overwhelmed and buried under ton or so called AI "art". AI "art" is real art the way deep fakes are real people. Just a mimicry that exploit the not mature ethics and morality of society. Plagiarism and mimicking, mostly not based on transformative content, but derivative that hurts directly the real artists on which is based. Artists have the full right to protest against immaturity of society that allows it.

Professional athlete perhaps.
I don’t know of an advanced robot/artificial intelligence right now that can walk onto an NBA court and drop a 100 point triple double.
But all jokes aside. Pretty much all normal every day human jobs are gonna be automated within the next 30-40 years tops.

Well, yes? That's the idea behind post-scarcity. At a certain level of machine intelligence/automation, it's impossible to provide enough useful work for everyone in society. Hell, it's kinda impossible now, with how many bullshit jobs there are out there.

Hey, I think the audio is back — we’re a live service e.g., we run a lot of cloud-based systems so we can be hit by outages occasionally, but the system is usually redundant enough to come back to life.

> It doesn't matter who owns it,
Yes it does as that is what defines communism ... since the equity market is owned, managed by the state then its communism

There’s literally nothing more automated about this than a regular McDonald’s.
All of them have those order screens. The only special thing here is they bring it to you on a conveyer belt for some reason.
Maybe that saves the kitchen staff a little bit of time but there’s really nothing crazy going on here.

It doesn't matter who owns it, the fact that it exists and that people can privately purchase and own stock of private companies is completely at odds with the concept of communism.
Under communism there is no ownership of land, factories, companies etc, they all belong to the state. There's no share of ownership to be bought and sold, and therefore, there can be no stock market.

It is a complete failure of a search engine, filled with ads and scam sites that can't search for anything of value, and most articles (even disgusting fake news) require downloading an app with a Chinese phone number to view, making it difficult for ai researchers to gather valuable Chinese training material.

Reply to Parsel: A (De-)compositional Framework for Algorithmic Reasoning with Language Models - Stanford University Eric Zelikman et al - Beats prior code generation sota by over 75%! by Singularian2501
I asked GPTCHAT to make the summary in layman’s terms, because I couldn’t understand the abstract:
Parsel is a tool that helps computer programs called large language models (LLMs) better solve complex tasks. Normally, these LLMs have trouble with tasks that require multiple steps, like creating complicated programs. Parsel helps the LLMs by taking descriptions of the task in everyday language and turning it into code that the LLMs can understand. This makes the LLMs better at solving tasks like creating programs, planning for robots, and proving theories. Tests show that using Parsel leads to better results and more accurate answers compared to other methods. Parsel may also be helpful for human programmers in the future.

What's the meaning of your subtitle "AGI Ruin 2040"? Does it mean AGI will ruin 2040? Or there will be only ruins from 2040?
P.S. English isn't my first lang

It's hard for me to imagine - I can imagine Germany rising again after being bombed to rubble because fixing the buildings would help Germany's stability, but fixing the Chinese network that was made into a shithole by the fireproof Great Wall and silly apps wouldn't do the bureaucrats any good.
I don't believe in Buddhism, but I do believe that retribution has manifested itself in the Chinese government and they will shamefully lose this AI war unless they fundamentally get rid of their backward system.

Fucking hell it is not communism. So just stop already. Even though people don't own the land people do own the buildings. There are property developers in China who make a fortune renting/leasing to the Chinese people. This is not communism.

>how many jobs this actually takes away (not many, and it creates other jobs elsewhere around machine design, installation and upkeep)
Classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory logic. I fully support this argument.

There will always be jobs. Automation to include ( AI ) will not destroy jobs. It will creates surpluses that will allow for the creation of new jobs that could not exist without AI
