they don't need to, politicians are already advised by groups they surround themselves with, if one of those advisors is AI (or more specifically for one of those human advisors uses an AI and pass off the advance as their own) and the politician gets ahead due to the advice then they'd all want to use one.

Then you have all the multi competing agent fun like flash crashes in the stock market due to high frequency trading algorithms battling it out.

Fun times ahead.

> I have a bit of a theory on this actually. It's a combination of a couple things. The AI effect being the most obvious, where people will say AI can't do something, and when it does they dismiss it because it's just computer calculations. A moving goal post of sorts.

Also I've a feeling a lot of jobs are going to be made redundant by collections of narrow AIs you don't need AGI to replace a lot of jobs just a small collection of specialist AIs that can communicate. I wondered why the Gato paper (from what I read of it) didn't try any cross domain exercises. e.g. get a robot arm to play an atari game.

>once you realize you're competing with your own open source distribution.

ain't that the truth, I'm amazed when I listen to Emad Mostaque (founder of Stability AI) talk about their implementation of Stable Diffusion and he's going on about upcoming features 'coming soon' and I've already been running them for days/weeks on the Automatic1111 fork, it's just bizarre.

> Not because Im denying progress, but because if Im not safe from automation, nobody is.

this is my thoughts. With the speed that things are improving it's not going to hit one sector, it going to hit most/all of the sectors at around the same time with increasing regularity.

That sort of seismic shift, for that many people has to mean UBI or another similar scheme in order to stabilize the economy.

There is no reason having automated goods and services if a huge chunk of your consumer base is now unable to buy them.
