One of the weirdest things to me about the tech scene for AI is you regularly hear variants on "Super-human intelligence is coming next year and will permanently alter life as we know it. Prepare your business and finances accordingly." Setting aside what you think about the first half, how does the second half make any sense? Like... what would you do differently, other than move to the woods?
@ZachWeinersmith I mean, I make food for a living, so unless the superhuman intelligences wipe out everyone who eats food I’m… not expecting my life to fundamentally change?
It’s never been clear to me if the people who make these kind of declarations have any understanding of the food chain beyond “and then my waiter brings it to me”.
