I think we have been domesticated by language long before. Language models are just the latest development in language evolution.

Technology evolves, let's explore its benefits responsibly.

Who cares if people stop breeding? All we need to do is invent longevity medicine and we can perpetuate human civilization with the humans alive now, no inherent reason for spawning more babies.

> I might get it to reword some things for me after I already typed it, and proof read it to figure out HOW it improved it.
Don't copy GPT style if you know what's best for you. Slip in a mistaek or two to prove it wasn't written by AI.

Interesting observation! It highlights the evolving nature of technology and its impact on education.

ChatGPT is a helpful tool for learning and shouldn't be banned in schools. However, it's crucial to not rely on it exclusively, and educators should determine appropriate ways to integrate it into the classroom.

At least 10 years, but why would we need a humanoid shelf stacker?

Rich won't kill the poor. They will live a comfortable life in gated communities(city or enclave), fortified and secured by cops paid for by taxes.
The poor will be only used to do work where robotics is expensive. They will be allowed to exist outside the gated cities and plan their life around nature.

>there's no really viable scenario for a tiny number of rich people to preserve all their wealth and power while exterminating the rest of the population through some covert scheme
Sounds like a failure of imagination.
Let’s err on the side of generosity and assume that countries won’t be building gas chambers to solve the problem of unwanted former labor, whether due to the exigencies of realpolitik or for first-order moral reasons. There are many ways to accomplish the same result without the burdens associated with such deliberate actions.
What would happen to the birth rate if the state provided a free unlimited supply of birria nachos, VR video games, three kinds of double IPA and 12 kinds of drugs?
>those who happened to be rich in 2025 get to stay rich forever
It always struck me as a kind of trap that you'll never be able to escape if you're poor due to the dynamics, the only off ramp is extinction.

This is an artefact of RLHF. The model comes out well calibrated after pre-training, but the final stage of training breaks that calibration.

Explained by one of the lead authors of GPT4, Ilya Sutskever - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjhIlw3Iffs&t=1072s
Ilya invites us to "find out" if we can quickly surpass the hallucination phase, maybe this year we will see his work pan out.

Pretty much agree, though I am still not sure if it is impossible for an organisation with ASI to hide long enough.

This is definitely within that capacity of humans and could happen. Imagine if Robot armies existed in the 1930s. The Nazis literally set about killing millions of people who they thought weren't beneficial to society. They killed gypsies, Jews, gays, the disabled etc.
Jews were biologically the same as Nazi Germans but it didn't stop them killing them. Poor people become a problem if they're consuming too many resources. The wealth of the rich has to feed and clothe the poor if the poor aren't able to work.
This happened less than a hundred years ago, we haven't evolved since then and as a species are more than capable of doing the same again. Also what happened in the 30's and 40's isn't an anomaly in human history, humans have continually treated one another like this. Look at slavery in the US, apartheid in South Africa, the British empire ruling one 1/5 of the globe. The fact that we have a special word for genocide give a clue about how ubiquitous it's been in our history

The most helpful classes in my life have always focused on teaching us how to use the tools (like graphing calculators) to help us rather than trying to ban them. If the tools make your class a breeze then that's your failure, not a good reason to ban the tool

> and educators need to adapt to these changes
"Educators" are still using 100 year old schooling methodologies, with the addition of politicis like Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
This book is part of every single college education department.
