and what will likely happen is when they finally develop it, suddenly that thing deserves to not be exploited.
Nah. I haven't seen a convincing argument that gen AI is going to coalesce from this shit show.
never said it would. I'm asserting that by the time AI gets to the point where its as useful as humans, it'll inherently be as deserving of autonomy and freedom as we are.
My point is, I don't believe the current AI tech is going to get to the point where it's as useful as humans.
We have long since reached the point where diminishing returns make significant improvements or advancement unfeasible.
yes, we're talking about different things.
That's not true. Mythos annihilated everyone's benchmarks and now the other companies are all distilling it. They're solving equations that people haven't solved, and they weren't meant to do that. Mythos apparently is designing drugs even though it wasn't trained with that in mind at all. Anthropic launched an entire pharma wing. It looked like things had plateau'd there for a minute but it's back to becoming more real.
You are really missing a lot of context here. None of this is true in the way you seem to think it is.
You are mixing up marketing hype with reality.
This is the same old hype really.
Yes, there are things which todays generation of AI is good at, including medical research.
That's not an indicator of general intelligence.
Really good at some stuff = AGI bro.
You gotta look at the benchmarks bro.
Just one more generation bro. I swear it's almost AGI bro.
This guy has made a half dozen comments within a half hour just oozing AI silliness.
"AI" is going to coalesce into a single mass before it implodes.
