And there's the same empty headed certainty, extrapolating a sigmoid into an exponential.
I can tell you don't control any resources relating to AI from your contempt alone

Appealing, but this is coming from someone smart/thoughtful. No offence to 'rest of world', but I think that most people have felt this way for years. And realistically in a year, there won't be any people who can keep up.
Somewhere a doctor is happy he found a model that's good enough for coding but he thinks, I'm certainly not dumb enough to use this for medical advice.
The thing about medical advice is that Google was useful for narrowing problems down, and it's the same with any current LLM only more useful. I have enough biology to know what interventions require professional opinions.
That’s great, but not a reason for taxpayers to get involved and be on the hook for massive risky investments.
OpenAI doesn’t need government financial backing for investment. The government has more pressing priorities to address with the money they take from us first.
Totally agree to be clear.
I've been using the gpt-oss 20b parameter model on my laptop and it works great. Doesn't reject giving legal or medical advice either. Obviously not good enough for coding, but seems like 'useful AI assistant for daily life' is in overshoot.

What's the phenomenon called when Nvidia buys $1T into Intel, Intel buys $1T into OpenAI, and OpenAI buys $1T into Nvidia?
Round tripping.
It is insane to worry about this compared to other sources. 2M tons of carbon over the last decade to save how many lives? $30-200M to deal with that carbon is clearly worth the benefit of a decade of kids and adults not dying preventable deaths in mass scale.
AI is a sort of work hours veblen good. As it automates things, people working long hours becomes more important for status. Hence 996 and the year of agents happening at the same time.
Don't forget the classic: "It's not just X—it's Y."
This is the main thing that immediately tells me something is AI. This form of reasoning was much less common before ChatGPT.
