I totally agree that we're just scratching the surface of what AI can do. But I don't think it's what Wall Street thinks it is. It's not too terribly difficult to spin up an LLM, which means it's going to be difficult to set up chokepoints to extract rent.
Though I bet they'll get the government's help with that by regulating AI for "safety." The big guys won't have a problem but anyone else will have illegal programs running.
Exactly. It isn’t hard to spin up an LLM.
I agree corporations will lobby for a legalized monopoly so they’re able to extract rent.
Generative AI will only grow to replace more and more labor. Labor is most corporations largest expense. Participating in the economy as labor is how most people make their living.
If AI replaces labor, regardless of who controls it, it will change the world’s economy by putting most people out of a job.
Good. Work sucks. Let robots do it.
This only works if we have a system in place to handle most humans not working. Like a UBI of some kind. Capitalism can't function once there are no more jobs to work.
This just gets better and better!
I'm really confused by these comments. I work on AI and absolutely hate all the clickbait and marketing simple algorithms as actual AI. But this seems like the pendulum swinging way too hard the other way.
To put it bluntly - No, it is not simple or trivial to "spin up" an LLM. Unless you want it to be worse than simple chatbots that have already existed for over a decade.
