It seems to have become trendy very recently to say, “We were worried about AI — but it turned out to be nothing. It’s not all that good. It’s not taking our jobs. It’s over. It’s nothing. AI is no threat to anyone.”

This guy is taking the opposite view. He’s saying that it’s very good and it’s getting better and we’ve already passed the point — we’re in a new world right now.

I think he’s right.

>> I think he’s right.

Do you think he used AI to write that wordy dreck?

If “no”, why didn’t he? Doesn’t writing it himself give lie to his thesis?

If “yes”, then why is it such wordy dreck? Doesn’t the poor quality of writing give lie to his thesis?

Is that what he is saying? If so, it should have been obvious in the first five paragraphs at most. He doesn’t seem to be saying anything. It’s just like the internet commercials that say that the pink salt method can help you cure baldness. They go on and on telling you why something will happen after you watch the video.

I’m playing around with AI to learn automation projects. What takes me days to program takes AI minutes. Good automation engineers are retiring. Fast food will automate. Production jobs will switch to robots more and more. What I look forward to seeing are all the liberal cry babies who lament the loss of illegal alien farm workers from their cushy offices, go work the fields.

Not only is it getting g better, it’s accelerating because it is making itself better. Capabilities are growing exponentially. The limit will be the power it takes to run the AI data centers. At high evolution rates, they will consume all the power on earth.

That’s why putting them in orbit or on the moon makes sense.

I’m a writer and have replaced my editor with Ai. ChatGPT is l0x better than it was a year ago. It’ll be 10x better than it is now in 6 months.

Basically, you won’t know what hit you a year from now....
