I understand very well what socialism is. I'm not however stupid enough to think that money is the only source of power.

No, too bad for the environment to allow everyone to spend so much. We all be in a socialist paradise with no personal vehicles only public automated cars which you can use a limited number of times, some good natural food, no plastic allowed so only wooden and metallic equipments.

If you don't like it, well you can't do anything because money is meaningless, there is no capital hence power is permanent. If you go on a strike, it won't matter because you don't have a job.

All the people thinking they will live luxurious lives are kidding themselves. The self proclaimed environment crusaders will have you living on less than what you have right now and the new neo wannabe communist leaders will remove all the capitalist and then go on to live a even more luxurious lives for themselves.

Fixing up buggy code takes more time than writing new one. Especially when you write less and less on your own. I'm not saying it's not or rather won't be useful very soon. But what I'm implying is that the article is the bullshit. Because had he really used it in a real life job he would know it's not good enough for anything other than most basic stuff and even then it's unreliable.

The 10x is just a term used to denote high performing individuals who can do things others can't. Adding chatGPT, as it is now, to a normal person won't make that person a 10x'er.

Yeah but I can't put any code I write into chatGPT. Because it could eventually lead to copyright violations and not to mention it's like leaking private code to openAI. I guess they will eventually provide a more private version of it.

Edit : Also, for now, it provides buggy code that sometimes has serious logical flaws. So the author is speaking utter garbage by saying it makes him 10x already with GPT 3.5.

A true 10x'er would be reliable in complex scenarios. This gives the exact opposite when working with.

It'll be possible by end of this decade. It's going to get real cheap (few hundred thousand dollars lol) in a few years. But I guess large companies will have a definite advantage and be very close to AGI by then.

Accuracy, reliability and some real common sense are essential to do any job properly. Wouldn't want a doctor who learnt from chatGPT (as it is now) to practice. Maybe GPT-4 will be better

No

Brillant person capable of obtaining a PhD. Lol

Why walk when you can roll lol

Cybernetics is a harder problem than AGI and less rewarding. What is even the point of converting humans. Just make them sterile and give the last generation a great life. Artificial life forms then can continue the legacy.

Unless ofcourse it's not too difficult for an ASI. Then we will have billions of potentially malicious intelligent converted life forms with emotions and societal dependencies of an animal but god like capabilities. What could possibly go wrong with that. If it tries to get wise and convert with limitations then it's an imperfect copy and real being died, if it didn't it's hell.

(Sorry for the rant, got carried away)

I was referring to the comfort they seem to get by just investing.

It is objectively true that money will lose value in a system where labour is irrelevant. It is also objectively true that transition will impact the monetary system. Everything else is you projecting.

I never said don't invest. Nor do I say anything about living within means. I'm pointing out how flawed it is as an idea to think something that works now will work later.

If true and it only gets better either through scale or through other novel architectures being added to existing models it indeed may be the beginning of AGI.

Not all companies are immune though. Besides my point is investment, in the way we think generally, may not hold good in adverse situations. Stocks will be at their lowest in a crisis, not a great hedge if you want to use them in turbulent times.

There are ofcourse assets and companies that will do well in the same period. But such investment shouldn't be the only thing you do.

I would say,

Be in a stable country>be as self sufficient as possible> invest. Not all countries will be kind to it's useless citizens.

I'm not advising anything. I didn't even say don't invest. Investment isn't limited to money. Stop getting triggered by everything you see and be more pragmatic. If you can't even take a look at a different perspective maybe it's you who is cult like.

Society need not collapse if money is unstable. Turkey with 80% inflation right now is a great example of savings and companies going down but society still functioning.

Being self sufficient goes a long way in such scenarios. Grow your own food or stock up on them, have your own water recycling, and a home ofcourse to do the same.

That's why they put limits on it. If it's really useful people/companies would pay to use it and cover the costs. If it's useless then it will get shutdown eventually. I do think it will be useful for companies with GPT-4 and that's why they have released it right now to get more companies ready for it.

That's not a terribly great idea since money may not retain value in a post singularity World and may even be unstable during the transition. Economic systems are fragile, I am afraid something as disruptive as AGI or even proto-AGI could break it. I can go on but it may be more suitable for r/collapse and not this sub.

Rumoured to be Q1 2023. Not sure if that will be a public or a closed beta testing. It is not a given that it will be immediately part of chatGPT.

You are right and wrong. You are right that it will probably not be rainbows and sunshine, things rarely are. You are wrong to assume that rich vs poor being the biggest threat.

By removing all jobs, you also remove all real power people have. You go against the government and want to protest. The worse is not them cracking down on you but just ignoring you. They don't care how long you do it. It doesn't matter anymore. No value is lost by some jobless people on strike. Try rioting and the robot police will clear you out efficiently.

Trade doesn't matter. Neighbouring or distant countries don't matter. You can demonise them and invade them to occupy and expand your machine population and resources. Imagine CCP in china gets AGI first, they could literally invade all their neighbours, take out every single enemy nation and even it's own dissidents and have no problem whatsoever.

Depends. Will you still have a great bod 10 years from now. I mean there will be a lot of competition.

Have you tried the singularity pill? It solves everything.

If you don't like it, don't see it. This sub had very little traction for so long that it has remained friendly (as long as you believe in our savior kurzweil and his prophecy of singularity). Don't want to make it toxic with thought control (other than ofcourse thoughts of all those disbelievers).

Walkable cities are fine, preferable even.

As long as one understands that environment is kept safe for ourselves to have better lives and not for some puritanical purpose of saving it, it's fine and again preferable.

Hell is other people. Public transport sucks. Earth does not need your saving. Nature will kill you if it had the chance to, it's not your saviour. We keep the environment safe enough for us to thrive not the other way around.
