Indies are suffering from this, see the needle in a haystack game and all its clones on steam.

What tells you that that AI clone of photoshop isn’t secretly filled with spyware? You could check the source, of course, but who will?

But have people been able to put the copies/clones on steam, without much cost or risk for themselves?

Really? How? Marketing became impossible because of you show your work before it launches, and gets popular enough, script kiddies might use AI to clone it (poorly) and put it on the store before you can even finish the game. Demos are becoming dangerous too because of decompilation. I don’t know, man!

A. Requires active change. So you see this option hinted at or addressed anywhere in politics? By elected officials?

Ok but that just means delay, not impossibility.

People keep bringing up other revolutions, but those never had the infinite regress properties of “if it gets a bit better, your job will be gone, too!”

What are all those other new jobs? What do you do with all the people who have been laid off?

Not really? How do you define efficiency here?

Thermonuclear bombs literally create lots of heat, and don’t tend to drive anything that produces work. It’s the opposite of efficient.

Just like lighting gasoline on fire and claiming that that’s more efficient than a combustion energy…

Maybe they figured out something us “normal” people haven’t, but the physics and economic challenges haven’t really been addressed, at all.

Suggesting such an idea without indicating how - and more importantly, why - you are going to do it makes it an article of faith.

Do I have faith in their trustworthiness? No. Do I think they want to do marketing for their AI financing? Yes!

As far as I heard they had that strategy as a possibility for decades, US experts had warned the current and prior administrations about it’s possible ramifications, warning against attacking Iran for exactly this reason.

The previous German minister of economy, Robert Habeck, had warned of such a situation a few years ago, too.

If you follow the ideology of the Silicon Valley billionaire types, based around Ayn Rand (eg “Atlas Shrugged”) and Curtis Yarvin, as well as what Thiel himself has said over the years, the Antichrist is governmental institutions, seen as the inhibitors of progress. I am not joking btw.

The author is just expressing amusement at the surprising simplicity of the resulting algorithm

They should add labels for auto-tune as well, so I can filter it out more easily
