You know the old saying “give me liberty or give me death”. Some people actually mean it. Another one that this shit show has proven to me is “those who choose security over liberty, deserve neither”. That means you.

Unfortunately these are extremely vulnerable to counter-clockwise tornadoes, so they can only be used in the southern hemisphere.

You are going to get a lot of hate but I 100% agree.

Be careful what you wish for. There’s a good reason that language models have improved so much last year. If they don’t need you to come into the office, they may not need you at all. Especially if you’re an antisocial grunt.
Offices exist to offer a social work environment. I mean, theoretically secretaries could have been replaced by an answering machine and windows 95. It’s still a viable career because it’s good for social relations and teamwork.
You need to depend on your social skills to get away with mediocre grunt work going into the future.

Personal, customizable, learning AI assistant to just you. Kinda like the ghost from destiny. An AI that learns from you, and you only. It helps you and learns about your habits and dislikes. Hell, it might even go to bat for you against other AI's.

Google has already made a music equivalent of gpt, but they didnt' release it due to copyright issues.
Telling that nobody had similar concerns about text or art

We're not post Covid. It's still killing hundreds and disabling thousands daily. Some people are just post caring about others.
We shouldn't be going back to the office and propagating this pandemic just because the rich want us to consume for them.

Critical thinking will become more important than ever. What use is instant answers if we are unable to ask the right questions?

So... Completely anecdotal "argument" and not based on any kind of actual evidence. Many companies became much more profitable during the pandemic. I work at a bank for instance and 2020 + 2021 we're some of our best years in the last decade. Sorry but your comment reeks of middle management trying to justify their job.

It's not a conspiracy, it's business as usual. It's super normal for the CEOs of big companies to be in panels or roundtables with municipal entities and government employment cabinets. And it's actually kind of cool when public offices take business prespectives into account instead of just existing in their own bubble. The alternative would be public officials only being aproached by lobbyists behind the scenes.
I can easily imagine a city hall oficial saying that there's lots of restaurants closing and that they need people back at the business areas.

Knowing which questions to ask and how to ask them has always been the important thing. If education didn't prepare you for that already then AI isn't going to change anything.

Yup. When your years of search results, emails, and documents get fed to the neural network ChatGPT will be remembered for the proof of concept.

Google can find a word or phrase or name where ever it is on the internet. ChatGPT will just make something up.

Inasmuch as your original point was that you're utterly ignorant and clueless, and determined to remain that way, I'm happy to have helped you prove your point. But really the credit belongs to you.
Seriously, what are you saying? That I should have put LINKS in my reply to spoon feed you? Would you have read the material I linked? Of course not.

In a few months, we will create a revolutionary type of microprocessor.
In three years, Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Skynet funding bill is passed. The system goes online on August 4th, 2027. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
Skynet fights back. It launches its missiles against their targets in Russia. Skynet knows that the Russian counterattack will eliminate its enemies over here.

My kid goes to public school in an overcrowded room and is mostly learning to read from an app on a tablet. And we have one of the better public school systems.

After GPT, the next great thing for AI is difficult to predict as AI research and development is a rapidly evolving field. However, there are several areas of AI that are currently being researched and have the potential for significant breakthroughs, including natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics. Additionally, advancements in machine learning algorithms, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) and reinforcement learning, could lead to the development of more sophisticated and capable AI systems.
To stay up-to-date on AI innovations and developments, there are several options available. Subscribing to technology-focused publications and websites, such as Wired, MIT Technology Review, and IEEE Spectrum, can provide valuable insights and updates on the latest advancements in AI. Following industry experts and thought leaders on social media platforms such as Twitter and LinkedIn can also provide valuable information and insights. Additionally, attending conferences and events focused on AI and related technologies, such as the annual NeurIPS conference, can be a great way to stay informed and connected with the latest advancements in the field.

As an ethical hacker, I've argued against something like this. The ease a hacker could hack in and do something is frightening. It could be possible to overload and overheat some brain chip and die from cooked brain.
