Commentary

  • Humans will still be the bottleneck. I kind of agree to that. Because in the end it is humans who will perceive the tasks, they can’t have super-intelligence if none of the people who work with it are even intelligent.
  • Guys, learning is going to be quite critical. The past couple of years have changed the way we perceive learning. I think we are getting into a trap of outsourcing the thinking and eventually learning to LLMs, which is looking a bad direction, and the turn needs to be as steep as possible to get back on track.
  • “GPT-3 has been out for six years; GPT-4 for three; and none of that has happened. Even in the outsourced customer service sector, the lowest-hanging fruit on the automation tree, we’re just not yet seeing mass layoffs due to AI. I’ll be frank in telling you that this has been a huge surprise to me. (And to others.) There is change, but it is gradual; it looks more like standard technological diffusion than a tsunami of replacement. And we should think seriously about why this has been the case.”
  • This quoted paragraph gives me hope to continue learning more.
  • “people have responded by spending much more time coding than they used to, because the latent demand for software is so enormous.1“
  • This I must say is true again.
  • “If we don’t need jobs, we’ll still invent them”
  • Yeah! That is the spirit, that is the mindset people need to inculcate, and not panic or get lost in the existential dread. I am saying this to myself, because written words have power over vague mind conversations.
  • Its going to be fine. Humans will live or die, either ways, it doesn’t even have a 0.000000001 % or 10^-100000000000000000 effect on the universe.
