"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

We're not currently on a trajectory toward automata like that, at least not with the kind of AI that's currently heavily being invested in, but even if we were, it would not lead to a positive outcome with the way society is set up right now. The problem is that someone would own the automata and therefore be in complete control over in whose benefit the automata would work. Unless the automata are easy to make (and the patents easily bypassed), making it difficult for someone to monopolise them, it would take a fundamental change to the way the economy works for this to benefit everyone, and that's not an inevitability.
But this video isn't really about that, it's about the much more likely scenario that AI does not end up living up to its promises and the money eventually running out, and what the economic fallout of that will be.
