For the uninformed, what large negative impact has Robinhood had on society?

“…the only workable future to me seems like forcing agents/robots to be tied to humans.”

This is what I’ve been thinking lately as well. Couple that with legal responsibility for any repercussions, and you might have a way society can thrive alongside AI and robotics.

I think any AI or robotic system acting upon the world in some way (even LLM chatbots) should require a human “co-signer” who takes legal responsibility for anything the system does, as if they had performed the action themselves.

Excuse my ignorance, how do these companies evaluate their models against the evaluation set without access to it?

Do you happen to have a copy of that article? I’d love to read it.

> Meanwhile, we have LLMs accepting bullshit tasks and completing them.

Would you mind elaborating on that? I’m not quite sure what you mean.

Like a supercharged version of rubber duck debugging.

There's a number of "robotics and embodied AI" ETFs out there that should show up with a quick search. I don't have an opinion as to their quality so you'd have to do your own research.

I feel called out :)

I’ve been daydreaming lately about what the fundamental limits of “intelligence” could be, something like the concept of computability but for AI, or even biological brains.

Though I will say, surely the existence of the human brain (which by definition is general intelligence), suggests that creating AGI is fundamentally possible?

What evidence is there that AGI will come “soon”?

That’s a nice prospect. What worries me is the point at which I’m no longer a required part of the problem solving process.

Scary.

You don't program at all now? It's all generated?

I only ask because I find myself on the tools most of the time still. The difference in how different people experience this tech is astounding sometimes.

A great idea if you're looking to intentionally sabotage AI.
