This guy is basically saying a lot of people will have to die (starvation) for the good of the ecconomy. When have I heard that before? Seems like there was a plague recently, and they said this very thing then too. What was it again?

Yeah, but it’s kind of obvious. Given the huge investments, it can only be profitable if it makes equally massive efficiency improvements. I’m skeptical but also one of those trying to make it work.

But the thing is even without LLMs, automation keeps on increasing everywhere. We are approaching the end of livable general employment regardless, and LLMs might just make it more sudden. We really need to start providing better ways for people to live without employment
