Raw LLM Responses

bro that jacket rules. (I didn't mean to be glib, I just clicked and was sincerely taken by how nice that jacket looks and how much I'd like one. Also now that I've watched the whole video I think that knowing more about any given situation is generally the cure for most anxieties about the situation, and this talk, while trending towards the grim, was very helpful to me in that regard. I do wonder about the actual, material hard limits that we'll reach before the big tipping point into a worst case doombot scenario? I realize we do in fact live in a society and a lot of that society relies on computerized processes that can/will be coopted by AI, but I just can't get past the idea that despite how integral the internet and computer tech has become to the modern world, we can, in fact, just not be on the internet. Whole swathes of humanity make their whole living and live life outside of the realm that can as yet be physically disrupted by computer processes. And given that these facilities require a city's worth of power and resources to run, until the AI can both manufacture and install its own parts and generate/allocate its own power, its not going to propagate or expand beyond what humans can dismantle. That might change one day! But I'm reasonably confident that there are going to be significant plateaus along the way, during which time attitudes and priorities and resource availability can also change. The main takeaway I got from this discussion was that unsurprisingly it's the people in charge of deciding that we simply must integrate AI into everything everywhere that are fueling the descent into the worst timeline, which in some ways is scarier than a bot apocalypse, and in other ways much easier to understand and deal with than an alien intelligence with an as-yet unknown capacity or impetus for developing empathy. And now that I say that, billionaires and autocrats already kinda fit that bill? So that's definitely the more immediate problem to solve, likely solving a lot of future problems in the process).
