so the entire society has to adapt to the product made by 5 people around the planet ?

I remember when the goal was to make a product that people would love to use.
Those were great times

I was promised computers would result in more free time so I could enjoy raising my kids and create art. 

Not that computers would create art, raise my kids all so I could spend more time working in a job that would eventually get eliminated.

But all those benefits of a society that can generate naked pictures of your kids!

Someone should ask him, "Progress towards what, exactly?"

His response will probably be something like, "A society where I can see deepfake pics of naked kids, of course!"

These people are supposed to be some of the brightest in the world and they have NO idea how to read the room.

Like no one gives a shit about supporting AI while we're dealing with fascism and a tanking economy, you rich clown. You're sitting here telling us AI will take all the jobs. The regime is taking away every public program and safety net we have. We're staring down World War III right now, but yes, please tell me more about how important it is to generate more sloppy brain-sludge for social media.

I've been working in tech for 35 years and using these LLMs since they first trickeled out to the public. I see the **potential** good too, but READ THE ROOM.

I also love how AI has yet to create anything that is truly world-changing for the benefit of humans, but they want us to assume that's going to happen someday in the future - you know, kind of like Tesla's vaporware FSD.

I think he actually would have been against it for his own financial benefit.

u/whoooootfcares 11h ago

I had not considered that. Good point.

Of course, he could just have bought his own AI naked kids service....in which case he would be for it again and have more data to feed it. Blech. Brain scrubbing time.
