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.

Maybe they shouldn't expect people to answer Slack messages 24/7, and this would subside.

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.
In some ways, it's magical. e.g. I whipped up a web based tool for analyzing performance statistics of a blockchain. Claude was able to do everything from building the gui, optimizing the queries, adding new indices to the database etc. I broke it down into small prompts so that I kept it on track and it didn't veer off course. 90% of this I could have done myself but Claude took hours where it would have taken me days or even weeks.
Then yesterday I wanted to do a quick audit of our infra using Ansible. I first thought: let's try Claude again. I gave it lots of hints on where our inventory is, which ports matter etc but it still was grinding away for several minutes. I eventually Ctrl-C'ed and used a couple one liners that I wrote myself in a few minutes. In other words, I was faster that the machine in this case.
After the above, it makes sense to me that people may have conflicting feelings about productivity. e.g. sometimes it's amazing, sometimes it does the wrong thing.
