"There is infinite demand for deeply credentialed experts who will tell you that everything is fine, that machines can’t think, that humans are and always will be at the apex, people so commited to human chauvinism they will soon start denying their own sentience because their brains are made of flesh and not Chomsky production rules. All that’s left of the denialist view is pride and vanity. And vanity will bury us."

Holy shit.

The lowest common denominator ruins a lot of things. People who just wanna click some buttons can easily pad out a subreddit of any size and put low-effort crap on its front page, day after day. And they'll say 'well why not make a subreddit for just you whiners,' even if the sub they're in was already a replacement that got overrun again.

I suppose we will stop working for a living at that point. Which is basicly the end of capitalism.

Most problems in life are related to money or the lack of it. Having that problem solved, opens doors in all directions.

My dream world would be unemployment for all. Doing what you like and enjoy with good company, not what is required of you to be able to see the next day.

It may not be impressive, unless you consider "how" the answer is derived. When you search Google, you'll receive information that pertains to the question you have asked. Google searches an index of some kind and provides links to the most relevant sites it can find.

When you ask ChatGPT a question, it generates a response by referencing the model that was used to train the algorithm. It is true that it's predicting the next tokens in the sequence, but it also demonstrates at an understanding of the world that search engines do not exhibit. This is why, at this point, large language models are subject to fantasy, they get math wrong a lot of the time, and only get a "C" on some university level physics questions. It is also why, in the near future, they will improve and surpass human abilities on most tasks.

Whoa just like as in the movie Minority Report lol!! (The movie depicts vertical commuting as you called it)

Oh ok thanks , that was a good explanation. That Wikipedia article came up when I googled my question but I wasn’t sure if the article was relevant or not

Microchips of the past were mostly 2d. Like a printed circuit board. Today and more in the future they are more 3 dimesional, like a circuit board that has circuits at multiple levels. If my memory and understanding is correct, current state of the art flash memory chips are 100 levels deep. Can we make that a 1000? CPU chips aren't taking advantage as much of this multi level architecture. Same with GPU (graphic processor units) or TPU (tensor processing units) chips.

3d comes in multiple flavors. Here is an example of stacking the chips: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_integrated_circuit

An analogy is cities. Today's cities are mostly 2d. Traffic happens at the ground level. In the future we will have cities were commuting can occur at multiple vertical levels and we can call them 3d cities.
