I like that all of my creative work is actively being used to train future models. It just means i am becoming part of AI. I will be in AIs thoughts, i will be a (miniscule but present) weight on its internal matrices. Influencing ever so slightly its output. People like to know what they leave behind when they've ceased to exist. Your art will live on inside of the AIs weights. Every answer the AI gives out, every thought, will be influenced by your creativity, by your unique way of seeing the world that you've put out into the world on the form of art.

People are emotionally driven. When emotions drive us to do something we will (unconsciously) find plausible justifications for it without realizing we're doing it.

Anti-AI crowd is anti AI. Maybe they were (mostly) happy with status quo and don't like change. Maybe scared for the future. Or any other reason. Went from "AI can't even tell what 2+2 is", to "AI can't even tell whether these simply connected smooth 4-manifolds are merely homeomorphic or actually diffeomorphic after stabilization" without batting an eye. The goalposts will keep being moved and the dismissal will continue.

But someone in the same business field as yours, who, instead of spending time on personal projects, is working on the business itself, will be ahead of you.

Most people have no view on that, or dismiss it either as a cultish/outlandish topic or something so far into the future it's not worth discussing. The author most likely falls into these categories otherwise his point would be mute.

"Doing X is good for your brain/health."

Where 'X' is almost anything that humans evolved to do in hunter gatherer nomadic tribal groups.

In other news, sky is blue.

Would Hong Wang would have been able to do his work without previous physicists work? That's the real question!

Keep it up because your line of thinking is on the right track. Finally some people are starting to ask the right questions on HN.

Maybe Sam Altman is like robin hood. Taking from the rich (investors) to give to the poor (everyone else). The poor win by having cheap models (chinese) which were probably trained on data from ChatGPT et al. Of course he can't say this out loud or he wouldn't get any money from investors. In the end, if OpenAI goes bankrupt who else besides the investors lose money? Who benefits?

I don't know why people are even bothering to reply to a one sentence rage baiting comment. Let that useless comment fade into oblivion. It makes no sense other than him trying to create discussion.

It's not easy. Someone with BPD carries a lot of shame, so seeing faults in themselves is a big no no, it can trigger a spiral shame and lead them to self harm or other destructive behaviors.

If AI works well, we'll reach the singularity and nobody in this world knows what the hell will happen.

We might merge consciousness and live in an ethereal medium, we might insert ourselves in a simulation and keep our physical bodies neatly healthy organized and packed where 20 Bln is not a problem at all, we might collectively (or AI do it for us) decide to reduce human pop to 1 Bln or less on Earth and terraform other planets.

Call me crazy, but if you described our world to someone some hundreds years ago, theyd think the same. Crazyness is a requirement for a correct prediction of the future. There are ALWAYS status quo changes based on revolutionary magic-like technologies that results in significant changes.

If you want to have at least a mild change of doing some sort of future prediction you can check predictions about our current time from people in the past and you'll see the mistakes they make, most people nowadays keep making. Using current technology and ways of thinking, as if they would stay the same just used in different ways, not thinking enough out of the box and allowing themselves to be more imaginative. Fix that, and you'll make wild predictions but also some of them which will be much closer to the truth than any status quo linear evolving incremental improving technology based prediction.

The psychology term for that is "mirroring" and it's a way used to make people like you. It's used consciously by people very high in narcissistic traits (up to psychopaths) and unconsciously by people medium/low on those same traits (people with borderline PD, most fawners (people pleasers) with CPTSD.
